AFL is its own thing. NRL is its own thing.

As a kiwi, I've never seen why there's a pissing competition. League vs. Union makes more sense, as they are variations of the same game.

There's room for both AFL and NRL, for those who like them.
There is no greater troll than trolling AFL fans. I had a guy try and attack me over the poker table at Crown once 🤣
 
I bet most of the attention will actually be on Brisbane "being back" rather than us announcing ourselves as contenders. Just ridiculous that Brisbane premiership odds actually shortened more in dollar terms ($26 to $17) than us ($15 to $9.50) over the weekend.

The Bloke podcast will be frothing over Metcalf, JFH and CHT tonight (youtube). Customary 'Clark was a beast, as per usual', 'They lost SJ, Tohu Harris and AFB... and they're even better!'...etc.

They're always good if you want straight up puff opinions of this club.

They have a weird format, talk up the team winning then spend a minute on the losing side as if they're attending a funeral lol, that change of tone still gives me whiplash

I just stop paying attention whenever they talk about a losing team.

You're right, it's absolutely depressing and a sure fire bet is that they'll be moping over the Sharks season... just like everyone else has been.

I'm actually surprised that DK has such a soft spot for us given his bad experience with us as a player which he has been very public about.

Excuse me, it'll likely be more Galvin, Galvin and maybe some more Galvin! I mean he did get the NRL play of the round with that try, which is obviously the pick over Papalii scoring 2 tries and getting a conversion for his special game....
 
Everyone confessing their sins and mistakes in not believing in Webster and Metcalf/CHT.

Love it.

For me. We’re only at the half way stage. Still plenty of chances for them to fall off a cliff so I’ll save my apology to the end of the season when it really matters.

Up the Wahs.
The sooner I “confessed my sin,” the smaller the humble pie I had to eat…. you, my friend, are in for a huge helping ;)

League in Aus in particular seems to be very 1 sport only or you’re a traitor type attitude.
Never understood why you’d limit yourself to only enjoying 1 sport?
It’s not like you only enjoy 1 genre of music/book/movie, there’s more than enough room for everyone

When I first moved to Aus my boss from Melbourne asked me what I thought of AFL (thinking I’d say it’s the greatest thing ever created) I answered it was like a group of excited puppies chasing a ball and not being able to keep it- it started a lecture that lasted quite some time about what he thought made it the greatest sport that the world loves- I was mistakenly pretty much dead to him from that point on from my faux pas

That's just standard math.

Broncos improved their odds of winning the comp by 33%. We improved our odds by 37%.

Statistically (as you would expect) we improved our chances more than them.

It’s 100,000 Aussies in a stadium watching 36 blokes in singlets mixing 3 sports into one, while the umpires pretend play John Wayne

I can’t take it seriously lol

lol I always giggle at the ‘John Wayne’s’ they take the finger pointing soooo seriously yet look so stupid doing it. Add to it the random chuck over the shoulder (with the massive wind up) to bring the ball back into play lol

When I visited Melbourne I was shocked at how massive it was there. It was reaching fever pitch levels for some game selling out at the MCG. They get weekly crowds the NRL can only dream about. It's quite evident though that the expansion clubs into N S W and Q L D have attracted little interest. Never been to a live game but can see the appeal. It's an atrocious watch on TV though.
