Dont get me wrong, i think she will be good for the kids but as a female fan it doesnt make me feel more included or respected by the raiders or the nrl.

The fact the raiders wont have players like lodge, dugan ect at our club means more to me

Great move by the club!

The challenge now is dealing with any drunken people on the sideline that will openly boast how they want to have sex with the mascot..

Maybe give her a massive sword and permission to strike at will.

They don’t try that already with Vic? He’s a pretty sexy mascot

Well said cat
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.

We told you that at the start of last year El Capitano! It is a YouTube sound effect. And of course it is!

And if that's the main thing you're disappointed about after today, consider yourself lucky!

So the female mascot is Victor's sister. How very Star Wars. Given the teams performance "May the farce be with you".

You’re trying to Dubby us right? How could you not know? If it was real, there would be at least half a dozen stuffed up attempts at blowing it.

**Fui thought - Make the horn blowing real. Would make a funny addition to the highlight reel

Of course it’s flat, have you ever looked out to the horizon? There’s no curvature!
