A lover of all contact sports - non practicising North Sydney Bears supporter banished by the ghosts of Super league

The free kicks were about 5 each in the freo run on so McRae complaining about 1 kick is ridiculous – Daicos realised it was a free kick – the letter of the law must be played eg handing the ball back to a free kick winner on the full by the vanquished is a set rule otherwise coaches will complain “he held on to it for 5 seconds before giving it back but we were penalised when we held onto it for 4 seconds etc”. In the NRL in last 5 minutes, the ref blew 4 penalties to nil to the trailing team Storm to nearly comeback to nearly win and yet no complaint from manly coach
'You're not allowed to do that': McRae demands answers from AFL after controversial free kick robs Pies of victory
Surprise – Fisher -Harris gets a $1K fine for minor if any contact – penalty changed the game and I dont mind bringing Penrith back to the field but managing the game like that is fraud…
NRL Magic Round Talking Points: Sharks do it again, surface holds up and hip drop lotto leaves some teams shorthanded
Fisher-Harris fall? on Warrior who stayed down as if badly injured (Walker) for a contact penalty to bring Warriors back into game at the end was a disgrace but followed the game pattern of decisions going to trailing team. I’ll add ref to list of ëntertainment” referees. Walker got up and bounded into the next play of course. Cleary post game apparently fumed – not sure if it was abou this

You lost when you said Ï was told
The AFL didn't need to rob the NRL's house with Opening Round - it's more than big enough already
Do you have a life or just cant get off screens?

Yeah want to sign up all those Yanks to bet on sport no-one has heard of – this is the 48th attempt to get RL going in US – noone plays RL socially -its designed as a pro sport due to its toughness – RU has too much of a hold in the colleges

The NRL during Super League used to say the empty seats were punters who were having a beer in the bar…

Playing In March – expecting June but getting February. Are the Vegas teams playing at home next week otherwise we should see who gets the benefit of playing against Vegas travellers. Obviously they are trying to even up the comp – Penrith didnt get any calls trying to come back and of course the travelling World Club finalists (Sutton telling them not to challenge??) have to play away instead of at home in first round – how unjust is that (reminds me of the Danish womens soccer team who were always destined to face Matildas in second round but had to travel from east coast to Perth 3 times in 10 days before playing Matildas– no-one else did this). The Cronulla game seemed to be ÿou are in front so I’ll give a decision to the trailing team.
NRL Round 1 Talking Points: A full week is done and dusted - let’s all overreact together
Unlike other codes, the AFL doesnt close the side where the TV cameras are to make the crowd look bigger ie some other codes have all attendees sitting in the outer ground.

It doesnt hurt to ram home the point to NSW/Qld Govts who have large debts and rely heavily on tourism that the NRL is taking Northern states supporters $ to Vegas while the AFL is bringing Vic $ to the northern Australian states on a Moomba holiday weekend.

Yes hard to police all over the field but I agree 150%. Cheeky sledges are taunting? Pushing in the chest when you tackle someone holding the ball is one I would get rid off
New concussion protocols announced for grassroots sports with mandatory extended ban after head knocks
V’Landys in NSW is making NRL his own game – he makes rule changes without reference to local leagues and international leagues and is chasing the betting $$ – if the govt go hard on betting he is stuffed. Turns most people off. Another RL attempt in America version 24
Compromised integrity: Is 2024 the year the AFL finally goes too far with their fixture tampering?
Change the date – what date – the unions wont cop losing a long weekend before most go back from school holidays – unless you name a date its virture signalling at worst

AIS not the Govt – they have no legal power in this regard – its an advisory
New concussion protocols announced for grassroots sports with mandatory extended ban after head knocks
It applies to lower levels. Meanwhile Charlie Goodsir (SEN reporter which is part-owned by Nine network) article in Sydney Herald and Age starts off Nine (NRL rights holder) newspapers annual AFL concussion stories during AFL junior recruitment season. Usually start in late Feb/ March but the AIS concussion story meant it started early this year but SMH ignored Sean Valentines sorry concussion story at Cowboys. Note there are less AFL references in the online article than in the original newspaper article https://www.smh.com.au/sport/i-love-sport-but-there-s-more-to-life-ais-concussion-guidelines-welcomed-20240201-p5f1kc.html

No mention of the salary sombrero by Roosters (wink and nod from NRL) to keep Swans/Waratahs in their place. Like SBW to thwart Buddy Franklin signing

If Mitchells wasnt a hip drop then nothing is -it would be a complete farce if he got off after others have been sent down but its NRL
