Please give @LeagueEyeTest a read - loads of real NRL stats and facts. Such as this one - the Broncos certainly are an undisciplined rabble, aren’t they?

The other night they were deliberately slowing down the PTB on the 1st tackle and giving away 6 .
When Penrith do the same they are tactical geniuses on the level of Sun Tsu . LOL .

Based on these stats, Klein should be sacked for how many infringements he'll be blowing this Friday, both sides.

Let's see if it plays out that way

Gold Coast bringing out a modernized version of the Gold Coast Chargers jersey for Magic Round.

I don't know why we don't do a Magic Round jersey.

As nostalgia, that is great. Peak 90s, reminds me of the Nissan Pulsar Reebok.

On the retinas though, my eye holes burn.

That is truly a thing of beauty.

 

[ningnangnong]

That looks sick!

 

[FACTHUNT]

Anything that looks hideously 90s just tickles my brain so perfectly. It looks epic

 

[Brocko]

Holy smokes that kit is beautiful

I think the lottery office advertising ruins it. Would be great otherwise

Anyone got the "code" to purchase Broncos tix - 31 May game is locked out. Heading up to see the Dragons get flogged.

Try July has been scrapped in an effort to reduce gambling advertisement in sport.

I get the whole gambling aspect of it, but Try July was for a good cause. There are people that actually relied on that money.

I sincerely hope the NRL have got another initiative planned to replace it.

Yet every ****ing podcast, every show, pre-game, half time and post game presentation is nothing but gambling. So it’s only bad if it benefits charity?

I vaguely heard something on the radio the other day…something about limiting gambling ads to 3 per hour as a law.

I am so for this, it will be so nice not having this trash slammed down our throat constantly...though they will just make it more part of in-coverage to exploit a loop hole no doubt.

They’re going to be limiting the amount of ads during broadcast to 3 every hour pretty soon I believe.

I don’t mind reducing gambling sponsorships, ads etc, but keep Try July. That’s actually for a good cause and some of the funds also goes to a player fund set up by the RLPA for players with life changing injuries.

For example, Toni Hunt from tha Broncos got some money after her stage four cancer diagnosis.
