Tuggeranong - that’s in Queensland???
Re: Rugby League 2021
That flow chart does say -
“It is important to note if you have played Origin at U18, U20 or Senior Origin, your State of eligibility is confirmed. These new rules are applicable from December 2012.”
I would have thought that was the end of the penny section.
Mind you he is no where near good enough for either state yet.

It certainly doesn’t seem to be part of the ACT according to Andrew Barr. He spends more time in Melbourne than the Hyperdome.

I’ve heard of the Hyperdome. Disappointed that it’s apparently not as awesome as it sounds.

I can confirm it’s so awesome a place that half the people you see at the Hyperdome have Mullets, which are the absolute height of hair fashion at the moment.Fuifui Bradbrad wrote:I’ve heard of the Hyperdome. Disappointed that it’s apparently not as awesome as it sounds.
Mind you, the sheer coincidence that those same people have had mullets for the last two decades means absolutely nothing to my argument.

Stars revolt: Big-name players plotting to remove V’landys
The future of Peter V’landys as the game’s leader could be under threat as he faces a revolt from a group of high-profile players for his handling of the high-tackle crackdown. Some leading players are so angry they want him out of the game now – and they are privately working on ways to remove him.

NRL Women's Premiership expansion
The NRL Women’s Premiership (NRLW) will expand to six teams in 2021 with the objective of expanding to eight teams in 2022.
In 2021 the NRLW will see the Gold Coast Titans, Newcastle Knights and Parramatta Eels join the competition.
The Australian Rugby League Commission approved the expansion which will see the new clubs join the Brisbane Broncos, St George Illawarra Dragons and Sydney Roosters for NRLW 2021.
NRLW will commence alongside Round 23 of the NRL Premiership, with each team playing each other once and the top four teams playing in semi-finals.
The Grand Final will continue to be played on the same day as the NRL Grand Final.
The number of games will increase from 7 to 18 this season and the number of playing weeks will increase from 4 to 7.
The majority of NRLW matches will be played as double headers on the same day as NRL Premiership matches to maximise exposure for the competition.
After being part of the foundation four clubs who entered the competition in 2018 the Warriors will not participate in the 2021 season because of uncertainty surrounding borders.
The club is committed to returning to the competition next year. With the framework established for the 2021 season the NRL will work with the playing group and clubs on a contracting model.
NRL Chief Executive Andrew Abdo said the expansion highlighted the success and growth of the women’s game.
“Today is a really special day for the game. Women’s rugby league is the fastest growing part of our sport and it’s exciting to be in a position to expand the competition after the success of the last three seasons,’’ he said.
“The NRLW competition has produced some of the best athletes in Australia, it’s captivated a new fan base and today’s expansion will give more players the opportunity to play in an elite competition.”
Mr Abdo said the Commission was prioritising investment in growing the women’s game at all levels.
“Now that we have a really solid base, thriving State competitions and investment in expanding the game from the bottom up, I cannot wait to see the NRLW go to a new level across 7 weeks and 18 games.
“I want to thank the Titans, Knights and Eels for their commitment to women’s rugby league. It’s an historic day for all clubs and an exciting day for their fans and of course the ongoing commitment of the Broncos, Dragons and Roosters.”
Mr Abdo thanked the Warriors for the participation in the NRLW competition.
“The Warriors were part of the first four clubs to join the NRLW competition and we are grateful for the commitment they made right from the start, particularly during the pandemic last year.
It’s been an incredibly challenging period for the club during COVID and I’m confident we will see the Warriors return to the competition in 2022 as part of our expansion plans. ”

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.
