Ah, yes, I see that you know your history well. This is mockerrrrrrry manifest! Ta-ta and farewell.

I see the posts on that, including some nice graphics. No confirmed project. Whether the men's 7s moves remains unanswered.

Are they moving the 7s ? Unless things changed since I last checked many months ago, I thought they were moving the women's 7s at this stage. As for reasons, you guessed much of it yesterday: cost of living, weather, parking, .. yada yada yada ... ... and likely Qld govt investment looking...

Nah ... most of that building, and the funding of it, is for the UTS Sports Campus with 700-odd people there every day. From the blurb at the time it was also ... "designed for use by local community groups, including Indigenous organisations, local schools and clubs along with other...

Great win last week! This will be another level though after a long stint sitting in a metal tube .. Playing against the Drua at home is not an easy gig.

Why?

Only viewing this from afar (and not following it especially closely) but there just seems to be a vibe to back what you're saying.

Pleasing result for the Reds under the new coaching regime.

But he does often enough ...

Thought he was leading a cancer charity or something these days, Shanky. Don't know if I'd expect a middle-aged former test forward to look like Pierce Brosnan. But so long as he's lucent, ... and can say "duck à l'orange"?

Am not saying it's a good option. Unfortunately rugby administration in Australia is perennially bereft. Hawaii / California is clownshop, if true... Maybe it is merely a Newscorp invention

Breaking might be an option for the game. Blow it all up and go back to being amateur?

Credit the optimism. I have trekked to the G in the past to watch rugby, but will now cede that opportunity to other punters.

Maybe the Vics have a cancelled cheque left over after they euthanised the Comm Games? If these jokers can cut a cheque for the big event, then maybe they should help keep their local team alive ...

Yeah, even if there is animosity, I still want a team based in Melbourne.

True ... But it's all about $elling $eats to $uckers ... even if I could secure tickets I wouldn't be flying there to sit in them.

The analogy doesn't work and the NRL will never be what the NFL is.

Neither comparison works. Best takeaway is: We.are.not.America. Sure, there are some commonalities but they're greatly outweighed by the difference. If you start with a U.S. template, you need to dial it down by 10.
