Removing the geography out of team name is a terrible decision. Did the same with the ACT Brumbies a few years back to better capture the southern highlands and south coast areas. They’ve never been the same since.

What's in a name like the Dolphins?

The place has a capacity of 11,500. Get that up to 15/18k and I reckon that would be all good.

Very good question! I personally would have thought positioning to get two new teams would have been the way to go. Even if it’s a year or two of delay. So 18 teams for the 2025 season would have been the way to go

They’ll undoubtedly have a draw where there are multiple teams with a bye during Origin period where all of the Titans, Broncos and Dolphins will have the week off

Look I like the North Sydney mascot. A bear has really got great cut through to the masses. But it pails in comparison to the Glebe Dirty Reds. Now be honest, won’t a whole bunch of casual fans wants to get on that bandwagon?

The NRL is expanding. Is there a place for the Bears?

Completely agree that some of the other refs need a run. You’ll cop some flack for it, but Atkins is the best communicator and technically proficient of the referees at the moment. Sutton has a tendency to lose control of the game at times, where atkins is happy to blow a penalty or, shock horror, have a chat with the captains before the game decends into a high farce.

Absolutely. The NRL hates any bad press. The ruining the fabric of the rhetoric was absolutely ridiculous and was pushed most strongly by Ch9 commentators who actually continue to disrespect the game continually through the season.
I’d only add to your point the disrespect shown to fans after more than one commentator has pointed out that I’ll never understand the game because I’ve never played NRL. As if professionals are exempt from high tackle ruled, although complete amateurs can learn tackling technique…I’ve never been closer to switching off NRL completely, but I stopped watching nearly as much after those comments and frankly between my two other favourite sports I’m not sure I can stomach that sort of attitude

Love it. Hit all the high notes (and the low notes) of the season. I’d have to add in captains challenge there somewhere. That thing is a calamity

Mate, I somehow missed your article back in August about Tas rugby! Good story, especially the resurgence of the Launie team. Played with them for 1 season back in 2009 (I’ve played for Easts, Gelenorchy, Uni and Launie).

I forgot the Bromwich one. I was living in Canberra at the time and went to that game. Not sure how these guys find the stuff so readily, I guess rumours travel fast when you’re looking for the stuff. Doesn’t happen by accident does it

It’s probably splitting hairs between which one is worse. Plenty of people would say the Domain is where it should go (the A-League consortium proposed a development at Cleary’s Gate of all places). That’s why I think York Park is the way to go. Plenty of parking already and an easy walk into the city (or what passes as a city in Launceston)
