Did they come up with that team song back in the day so even Nate Myles could join in?

Get that up ya Gussy boy

It's gonna be a big day for blokes called Pat.

It's more that they hope you'll put other bets on with them. Putting it on a safe (i.e low odds) bet is actually a terrible way to use a bonus bet if you are trying to get money back, because you don't get the bonus stake returned. So if you put a $100 bonus bet on something paying $1.01...

This popped up in my YT feed the other day and made me laugh (it's from 2021).

Clearly not keen for some brown action

That was a terrible advertisement for the womens game imo. I don't watch much of it, and only tuned in because there was no other league on thursday night this week. I suspect a number of other people were the same. I switched off at half time. I've got no doubt the players were trying hard...

I know this is the cooked ideas thread, but it should be the other way around. The rule was bought in because teams were just purposely kicking the ball dead from a long way out to reduce the attack of the full backs (I think it was mainly used again Slater at the time). It started to get a...

The last placed team in the NRL is relegated to the NRLW, and the NRLW premiers are promoted to the NRL.

I'm guessing they wanted to get rid of the episode after round 8 where Kent described the Titans loss to the Dolphins as "the biggest choke of all time".

This is the issue I do have with it all though. People can't gamble on a bookmaker and win money on sport, well not long term anyway. Bookmakers will just restrict sports betting for that person if they are seen as a long term profitable gambler (or even will be, even if losing in the short...

I actually tend to agree with you, but then I've been investing in sports for many years now, so maybe my view is influenced by that. I can see why people who don't gamble would disagree though. If you don't find it enjoyable, I doubt it's going to make "shit more fun". But then if you don't...

Doesn't BooKhaki work for a bookmaker (or did)?

I think he's admitted he'd had a few drinks. Thank god I'm not an NRL coach though. I'd be on the front page each Sunday morning. What a joke of a story.

Rothfield was on James Grahams podcast recently and reckons he doesn't drink much at all. He could just be a classic alco and be full of shit though.

Yep, but I guess the NRL couldn't change it for this year at this point in time. Although you'd think they could have implemented this new 11 day stand down before the season. Would be interesting to see when they got this "new advice". Abdo said on NRL360 a couple of weeks back this wasn't in...

I also think this new 11 day stand down rule is going to be a massive issue post season. Chances are someone is going to miss a grand final over it this year.

I don't disagree (mainly because the administration will be shitting themselves about lawsuits), but then what could they be? Without changing the underlying nature of the game. I mean it would be easy to say that players can't tackle above the waist, which might rule out some of the head...
