Bet you had a few exotic brews to celebrate seeing as you can still get to a pub.

No pubs this weekend Shasta what with the lockdown in the Perth & Peel regions, too many visitors from up there and don't want to risk being exposed to someone who might be covid positive.

I have a booking for The Wild Hop Brewery on Thursday

Fair enough. I saw plenty seemingly not doing the right when out on the treadly over the weekend.

$3.75 for the Tigers this weekend - get in it boys.

Reverse psychology is overrated. Dead set.

I legit think that if the Tigpies sack Maguire they'll win, if he's still there by kick off we should win narrowly.

Knowing the disappointment served up by my club for the past 7 years they'll probably lose it regardless.

8 coaches in 20 years and one of em was there 9. Almost as bad as the Canberra circus.

Ricky Stuart is overrated.

Change my mind.

The other Canberra circus that sacks the boss every time things get a bit tough.

Same old story, they can't sack 17 players so it's always the coach.

Although I bet Ricky wished he could sack Croker. That 4 year contract will hang from the Raiders neck like a Boulder.

Sorry for being confusing. But the Raiders have not SACKED 8 "bosses" in 20 years. I was referring to this other Canberra circus - which has probably sacked more than 8.

Sticky loves his Raiders

I know some will hold out hope for a WA League franchise. But I reckon that ship sailed long ago. I'm happy to see a couple of NRL matches per year and the odd Origin. We'll probably get a couple of conference cross over matches looking for a crowd if this happens. The more kids who then see Rugby as the best option for a career, and consequently the more Kiwi kids who go to the Mungos, the better for us.

NRL’s bold plan to split competition into two conferences as part of expansion push

The NRL has pitched a proposal to split the competition into two conferences which would see new teams added in Brisbane and New Zealand as part of the game’s bold expansion plans.

The plans have the backing of one of the game’s most influential figures, with Wayne Bennett throwing his support behind the concept that would revolutionise the professional game.

This conference idea is bad and they should feel bad.

[shasta]

Maybe they are starting to panic. About 20 years too late - jus like the ARU post 2003.

"
Participation is a major area of concern for the NRL.

According to Sport Australia's AusPlay survey released in October 2020, there are 159,000 adult (15+) and 132,500 (0-14) participants. The total of 291,500 is significantly behind the AFL's 898,000 participants."
