Who needs a seven-year plan when you have Kevvie? Cartwright rightfully tells Gus to stay in his lane
100% comparing the bulldogs and broncos is apples and oranges. the broncos have a ready made pipeline and are just recovering from a disastrous 2 years.

the bulldogs have invested big time in juniors. it will take 5 years to pay off

because he is perfectly sound and the owners want to see if he regather his old form. sorry but Royal ascot are not the worlds best sprinters – they were a group 3 race standard in australia at best. horses are not supposed to “prove” anything, its not like he has an unblemished record
What happens when athletes overstay their welcome?
correct, players never misbehave on the football field
Will the Women's World Cup supercharge football's growth in Australia?
those numbers seem accurate 😂
Will the Women's World Cup supercharge football's growth in Australia?
reported figures for global events – the numbers reported for the queens funeral were absurd – basically 50% of the planet.
The Women's World Cup will succeed in spite of mainstream media, not because of it
how many WWC games will kill the AFL in ratings? which makes them more money in the long term?

ANALYSIS: Demetriou slams 'embarrassing' Souths as Walsh runs riot - but Taupau might be in big trouble after knee raise
the storm have dealt really well with having no juniors. it has made them resourceful. this is a club that was good enough to recruit drinkwater, tino, tohu harris and hynes , lose them and still be up near the top of the table. they were also willing to give koriebete, papy, ado carr and hynes chances after and turn them into champs
one of the greatest fullbacks ever retires and then they have munster, drinkwater, jahrome, papy, hynes and meaney replace him. they replace cam smith with brandon and harry grant.
clubs like the dragons and wests tigers are trying to improve with big name acquisitions for big bucks. the storm rarely buy any experienced players for big cash.
in their early days they were owned by newscorp and they spent by far the most on 16yos, they dont have to know because after 20 years of Bellamy, talented juniors want to go there.
It’s not rocket science but Bellamy gets it right so often to keep Storm shooting for the top

“wildcard round at the end of the home-and-away season makes complete sense” – if compplete senses encompasss rewarding mediocrity.

As she enters her final World Cup, what legacy will Megan Rapinoe ultimately leave?
Flano doesnt have a 5 year plan because he will be sacked if we dont see immediate improvement. this will happen and the dragons will be back to square one, yet again. things take time and premierships and success can not be bought. the dragons pathways are a mess
