I like the sound of John Grant so far, he seems like a switched on guy!
New dawn for rugby league gets underway
Huzahh!! Great day in rugby league history!
Onwards and upwards.
New dawn for rugby league gets underway
Huzahh! About time!
Hopefully we can now have strategic plan for the years ahead.
Independent Commission four years in the making, but worth the wait
Wow, what a small minded world you must live in Happy Hooker. If you don’t like the NRL fair enough but no need to spew out your negative messages against these worthy causes.
If you think its a nothing match you should ask the aboriginal communities what they think about it…
NRL All Stars must stay in February
Its a great game and Im glad its been added to the calender. They should do a toyota cup/ under 20’s version of the game as well.

Agreed Jim, Gallop has done a fine job considering the limitations he has had to deal with during his tenure. Expansion is not always the answer. The game is a great spectacle at the moment with tight contests every weekend.
I personally don’t think Gallop is under the impression that the AFL is a threat to western Sydney (which is apparently anywhere west of the Anzac bridge). What he would be wary of is the 200M that the AFL and their marketing/media teams are throwing at the venture.
Does anyone else see the other codes new teams as a cheap marketing plot without any heart and soul?
Let’s get the NRL right then grow the game. Don’t just chuck in new teams for the sake of it; I don’t want to watch some bastardized Parramatta Eels team running around.
Big Marn, your not from QLD by any chance are you?
Gallop and some of his precious Sydney NRL clubs must go
I think that the Daily Tele come up with their ideas in the same way that ‘The Family Guy’ was shown in a South Park episode.
A group of manatees, who live in a large tank, pick up “idea balls” from a large pile of them, each of which has a different noun, a verb or a pop culture reference written on it, and deliver them, five at a time, to a machine that then forms a Family Guy cutaway gag based on those ideas”.
The Daily Tele is akin to the National Enquirer…
NRL needs another Tina Turner
Brian Smith coached teams are prone to being psychologically weak. He has a creative football mind, great fitness ethics and an eye for talent. His teams have a habit of having one good year, then one bad, so on and so on. I think he plays too many mind games with his players…
Can Smith survive the pressure cooker at the Roosters?
Bon Jovi was the right choice (demographically speaking), I think the NRL tried to save a few bucks by choosing a song from his catalogue that would come cheaply. If it had been one of his massive hits it would have been a good idea.

Dont believe the Daily Tele RedB, no one takes it seriously up here in Sydney… 🙂

Its laughable… I live literally 2 mins from the anzac bridge and most would call it the inner west. IMO anything from about strathfield onwards is getting into west territory. Although I do know of real estate agents selling apartments in silverwater (5mins from Parramatta) as ‘Inner West”.
Sydney is not just East V’s West and people hate it being labelled as such. Sydney is spread out into pockets. Inner west (Balmain), south (Shire), south west (Bankstown), West (Parramatta, Penrith), North west (Hills area). Western Sydney is not Anzac Bridge and then everything else, its these subtleties that arnt appreciated by others from around the country. Ask the swans they know…
He's an ideas man, Sheeds
me, I like football; Interestingly a lot of the search items were for a USA government Union movement called Afl-cio which bumped up the Australian Football Leagues numbers. Not surprising considering the core government sector which resides in Canberra. The other key stories were around the TV rights deal which a lot of NRL supporters are interested in.
Only really reflects on the popularity of worldwide government news & NRL in the ACT.
NRL claims edge over AFL in ratings battle
Looking forward to the first three rounds for Parra, Broncos, Warriors Cowboys. Big game first off against an old rivals, last years GF runner up and then the resurgent Cowboys. As a long suffering Parra fan it, if we can get 2-3 off these games it will go a long way to a good performance next year. The flip side if we don’t win any, the knives will be out for Kearney…
Bennett's Knights to face Dragons first up
Agreed, they would both be in the top 5 2RF’s in the game and make a great combination. Pretty hard to beat AUS at the moment though with the quality they have in the team across the park. Maybe they need a bit of aggression, a little niggle. Someone like Michael Ennis perhaps?
Slater injured but Kangaroos still get the jump on England
Cronulla are cool.. I think every NRL fan has a soft spot for them. Besides the mighty eels winning again the next I would like to see is Cronulla win. Yes they suck, yes they are broke but they are such toilers and lets face it you should always have one team that is forever on the bottom of the table.
Ps I would love to see the shark tanks with real sharks!! 🙂
Five ways to make Cronulla cool again
As a very smart man recently said “You can always tell a Victorian. You just cant tell them much.”
Keeping up with the Victorians
This is just another example of the ‘poor me’ attitude of Melbourne v’s Sydney. You did the crime you do the time. Storm fans would be better served by saying nothing and letting the on field actions do all the talking.
Gallop just doesn't understand fan angst
So thats my point Redb, it was great publicity at first but now the ‘buzz’ has died down its back to business as usual with aussie rules in Sydney.
The great GWS Giants myth
Its all the same to a lot of people who don’t understand Sydney…
The great GWS Giants myth
Geographically considered to be from Parramatta onwards, you will be hard pressed getting anyone closer to the Sydney City CBD to openly admit they live in the west.
The great GWS Giants myth
Homebush is definitely not Western Sydney, Its closer to the opera house then Blacktown.
Ask someone who lives in Homebush if it’s western Sydney or not! They will look at you funny, laugh and then say it’s the inner west and western Sydney doesn’t start until at least Parramatta…
The great GWS Giants myth
I’m sure they will push it more than GWS, it ties into the battler psyche of a Sydney westie, and good luck to them.
A question; do you think the gloss has worn of the GWS ‘buzz’? This week they signed arguably the highest profile & most controversial player in Tom Scully and there was hardly a mention in the Sydney media!
The great GWS Giants myth
There is no such place as greater western Sydney… I’ve lived here all my life and will tell you that no one except people from outside NSW will identify with GWS as an area.
What people don’t comprehend about Sydney is that it’s broken up into quite distinct regions. People from Parramatta are a lot different than those from Blacktown & Penrith with no one wanting to be associated with the other…
Just ask someone from western Sydney “where does western Sydney start?” the answer is always the suburb after the one that they live in because no one wants to admit to living out west.
The GWS brand was broken before it was an sparkle in the eye of the AFL marketing machine…

Thank you MG! Best summation of his article. No need to read any more comments 🙂
