The season previews are starting to roll out, spring practice is out of the way, media days are in progress and, despite the season still a couple of months away there are plenty of great games to look forward to – and maybe book some tickets for.
Fox Sports has become an easy and understandable target for many sports fans, especially recently. And now ESPN are beginning to leave many fans scratching their heads.
This week saw the release of the Ashley Madison account data, a dating site for married individuals looking for an affair. This has resulted in a few strained marriages around town.
Every season we go through the talk of the NRL draw not being fair, as fans of one team battling for a spot in the eight feel aggrieved that another team had an easier run.
The number of new positives in NSW today has fallen to 127. Hooray., we’re flattening the curve
But the number of tests were only 3347, just over half as there were the previous day, for a positive rate of 3.8%.
Channel Nine looking to tear up their contract with NRL
Er, no. In NSW the positive/test percentage is 2.0% (1791 positives off 91308 tests). Yesterday the number of positives “fell” to 174, and this was off 6401 tests for a positive rate of 2.7%. The day before was 212 positives off 8623 tests (2.5%). You can’t find something if you don’t look for it
It looks to be trending down, but this is solely because the number of tests fell. As people were still socialising and congregating and recent as a week ago, and symptoms take 10-14 days to appear, we are not close to to trending down.
Don’t look at the number of positives, look at the number of positives as a percentage of tests completed
Channel Nine looking to tear up their contract with NRL
Fox are going broke, they have absolutely no hand here. And they don’t pay the majority of the broadcast rights. Nine own 100% of the rights, Fox pay them a fee to show them.

they haven’t trended down. Did you pass high school math? Or just believe Scottys spin?

Gore has attacked me on multiple occasions, and for not just disagreeing with him but showing him he was flat out wrong.
He’s too thin skinned

When I was a kid I would stare at the stars at night and dream about what it would be like to travel beyond the stars, think about other universes, wonder if man could inhabit other planets. Now I realise I would have hated it, all Souths fans live on another planet
Rabbitohs ripped off by the refs
He doesn’t care if he plays fullback, centre, wing or reserve grade. He sold himself as a fullback because fullbacks get more money then centres. He would love to be a centre on fullback money
Mitchell back to centre, but at what cost?
what ground availability? Other then the SCG what ground will be taken over by cricket?
Pay cuts will show the players are genuine partners in the NRL
we’ve been there, done that. It failed.
Foxtel don’t have money for the rights even at a discount rate
Pay cuts will show the players are genuine partners in the NRL
Did Brent Read also write that the reason the game is in a perilous financial position is because his employer took half of the games money for nearly 20 years, leaving the coffers bare for any investment (unlike the AFL)

NRL finally forced into suspending season
Depends on when they start. The danger is going to deep into the heat of summer. Ground availability isn’t an issue. Only ground used for cricket is the SCG. GF can be played at suncorp

they wax over the errors depending on which player made them
'Scrap it': Joey Johns explains why the captain's challenge is bad for the game
Players whinge when refs make mistakes. Now they have to make the same decisions and get to think about it and they make the same mistakes. They may realise its not that easy

Where are these players then? Bryce Cartwright gets a start every week, which proves my point
NRL has the depth to expand to 20 teams
theres no enough players for 16 teams. 20 is laughable

Nine and Ten are fine. Fox and Seven are struggling
