That sounds very counterintuitive. I would have thought a good on field performance would generate more money for them. Surely if a club is performing poorly on field their membership and merchandise revenue would suffer to say nothing of corporate box and sponsorship income.
If you are...
I know News Corp have a big majority stake in the Broncos and can (and do) call he shots.
What I don't get is why they wouldn't punt under perfoming people or worse those who blow up the place.
Last time I checked News Corp was not a charity or a sheltered workshop and there are many stories...
Well maybe we'll be able to get last seasons jersey at a discount as stores look to clear now superseded stock.
It wasn't too bad if I could pick it up at half price I'd seriously consider it.
I contacted them about this yesterday.
I wanted to know if I would get the option of just renewing my membership for the games at Suncorp Stadium or would still have to commit to all of them wherever else they were played.
They didn't know yet but said everything would be in the membership...
I have nothing against the guy but I just think we have moved on and don't think we should bring him back now. He was entitled to take the ridiculous money on offer and I don't blame him for that.
The titans look like turning into a shit show now and it could be a long season for him there next...
At a guess I would say it is because if it was a home it would complicate broncos season ticket arrangements.
The broncos would have to bump up season ticket prices because there would be at least 1 extra game whatever day that was played so the NRL would want extra money for that.
It would also...
This is a big game because if we can win it we can set ourselves up for a big run.
We then have knights, titans and raiders so we could go on a six match winning run which would potentially put us in the top 4.
How long since we have won 6 in a row?
This will be a test of DD and Ikins no dickheads policy.
It's alright to let lesser players go who fall into that category but it could be a different story for marquee players like munster.
Having said that I don't think we are seriously chasing him. If he does come up here it will likely be...
If Vlandys has a written contract with the NSW government to upgrade suburban grounds he should release it so we can all see what's in it.
If he hasn't got one and expects a government which now has a different premier to the one he allegedly had the deal with and who doesn't know what a...
Not ruling him out for the next world cup (2027) just think its a bit of a stretch for next year.
I suppose it's possible he could do it next year but if there is one side where you have to earn your stripes before getting a look in it's the All Blacks and that's for blokes born and raised on...
I don't see that as realistic option anymore.
If he was going to union I think he had to go this year as their world cup is next year (which would be the main reason he would switch) and they likely would have wanted him to have a full season in super rugby the year before to get accustomed to...
Agree and when Fitzgibbon has been there long enough to establish a personal bond with the players and get them to play for him as well as buy into what he is doing they will challenge for a premiership.
Could happen sooner rather than later.
As I see it Ponga has 4 options.
1. Sign with the dolphins for 2023
2. Sign with some other club for 2023 (unlikely)
3. Sign this new long term deal with the knights
4. Don't do anything and keep playing with the knights for 2023 but keep the get out clause for 2024 open which will give him a...
