Monners,

Funny how QLD still sold out Suncorp Stadium when they had lost 3 years straight in State of Origin.

Also plenty of the junior talent that supposedly suffers the ‘stay at home’ syndrome moves south to Sydney teams. Many players who now play for these Sydney teams were and still are fans of Brisbane. Doesn’t seem like they suffer from ‘stay at home’ syndrome.

Your comment clearly missed the point of the article.

What is the cost of becoming an NRL footballer?

I always enjoy watching the tennis. Go Roger I say. Looking forward to the Brisbane International as well.

Australian Open 2013 approaches

Not matter how the draw is done there will always be teams/supporters who feel they have drawn the short straw. The draw being set in stone does create a fairness in sense. The fact that matches are fixed and cannot be scheduled to favour teams. That said from that view point why not set the full season (ie NFL). It has the ability to stop the TV stations from dictating and controlling game scheduling. Obviously the draw is designed to meet the TV stations preferences, but stops them from being able to pick which games they want to show.

That said the draw should be drawn in a fairer way giving all teams a more even share of games across all days. TV stations should just have to show the games fixed on there time slots.

Though this does no work to well from a business side of things.

So it is a delicate balance between business and fairness. Business normally wins in straight sets.

Hopefully future draws can be more evenly balanced for the teams.

The 2013 NRL Draw in review

People always have a dig at the Broncos for only attracting 35,000 average. One must remember though that not everyone in Brisbane supports the Broncos and in fact some of the Brisbane population support the Sydney teams. Brisbane may only be a one team city, but the entire city does not support the Broncos.

Brisbane Broncos supremacy may finally be over
