Re: 2023 Rd 6 v Broncos: Game Day

Expected nothing less than a hiding, but they played very, very well. Only the second time I've witnessed us beat the broncos in Brisbane in almost 20 years, and gee it's satisfying. The broncos fans have sealed themselves as the most disgraceful in the league tonight -- I ranted like an idiot at so...

Re: Rugby League 2022

The ad is an absolute stinker.

Features less than half of the clubs, and most of those not even in any meaningful way.

“So real it’s unreal” is also such a stupid tagline it’s hurting my brain trying to figure out what they meant to achieve with it. Wouldn’t have paid whoever came up with that.

Cat, the Guardian graphs use the government data you have referred to. There’s no spin; it’s analysis (which goes much further than counting tiny squares in the Department of Health publication).

It’s a bit unclear who the damages will be sought from... presumably the NSW Police Department, but possibly individual police I suppose.

Re: Canberra Raiders announce Canberra Milk as new major sponsor for 2021

I think the issue with the shorts is that the NRL requires the away kit to be a "lighter" alternative to the home kit. Hence the white shorts for the away kit. But I agree, the shorts look better flipped. I wonder if the home strip would look even better with green shorts, the precise sha...

Re: Canberra Raiders announce Canberra Milk as new major sponsor for 2021

The away jersey basically has to be white or grey (that's an NRL requirement). The Raiders only clash with the Rabbitohs (for some reason, the NRL seems to think we also clash with the Titans)... so we can probably expect it won't be worn much. The marketing research apparently shows women, in part...
