Standard of NRL at an all time low

[bringitontm]

Our 2004 team would destroy all the teams in this NRL comp.

Lol fans still look back to 2004. It was 13 years ago.

Perhaps you should watch the game and you will see there was approximately 20 errors in the first halve alone.

Anyone notice how much better it was during the Int rep pound where we applauder international rules which means just 1 (one) Referee, what a breath of fresh air it was!!

What I noticed was how many errors the ref missed and know full well that if that had happened in a Dogs game my laptop would have melted with all the screaming from everyone on here that would have called for the execution of the ref. We can't have our cake and eat it to. If we want the 2 ref system to work then we need to let the errors slide like we do for the 1 ref strategy and then it won't be an issue.

Meh = pffft.

Thanks makes sense lol

 

[Shire Dog]

8,000 fans on thursday night in that massive stadium.
It's just a bad look for the game in general.
The refs are shocking,we complain about every week about the same things

 

[WestBeast]

Titans game was a cracker

 

[top-dog]

It's been like that for years.

 

[Kaz]

People have been whining about referees since started watching the game 35 years ago.

They have been whining about refs since 1895.

You don't hear a thing, if your team get the rub of the green.

Who gives a shit if it was 50 years ago. That team destroys our current team. A max of 2 players from our current team make the starting lineup of our 2004 team.

The only seats that Todd Greenberg wants bums on are lounge chairs to placate the telecasters who pay big dollars for the rights to show the game on their station. The ridiculous starting times and use of Thursday nights is simply tailored to suit the broadcasters. I laugh every time I see the adds for NRL club memberships encouragingg fans to get out to the games.

Another down side is that we no longer get three games at a ground; and sometimes if ANZ has been overloaded we only get one, U20 play elsewhere and on another day,unless you are lucky enough to be say Penrith or Newcastle who get quite a few days on which all three grades play at the same venue.

Ticket prices go up but supply of the product goes down. NRL has still not made a decision as to placement of games next year once U20's become redundant as the stepping stone to the NRL. Perhaps they will reinstate Intrust super as the curtain raiser to first grade.

Lets scare everyone off, that should work.
Everyone watch from home.

Same with our 2002 team and with the new cap we'd be just under

That explains the deafening silence from the Broncos fans over the years.

The cap in 2002 was less than half what it is now

 

[Kaz]

All teams get the rub of the green & all teams get shit calls.

Some fans conveniently forget the rub of the green & only remember the shit calls.

My point exactly was adding a bit of sarcasm in case you missed it

 

[dogluva]

I remember both. In fact I thought that Thaiday ( as much as I do not like him) was very hard done by with the call against him last night but I also remember the Moga try given in a previous game which won the game for the Broncos when tackle was effected in the in goal.

 

[Chicharito]

Just can't bring myself to watch all the matches the way I used to unfortunately. Watching the dogs play is already punishment enough so I don't wanna have to watch the rest of the shit that's dished up tbh.

 

[yearofthedog]

Still plenty of good footy being played but Im not sure the NRL is marketing its product properly to put bums on seats.

Its as simple as what the afl does, kids free Sundays and giants have kids free every game. Simple stuff that the NRL lacks

The NRL are gambling on short term profits at the detriment of long term viewers and fans.

The ONLY reason the NRL is doing well financially is through gambling advertising and they receive 7.5% (or more, that was in 2013) of NRL betting income to the gambling companies they partner with.

Once the government restricts gambling advertising their revenue drops and then there's empty stadiums of teams followed by noone with no money to keep star players from going to Union.

But for now everything's gravy with empty stadiums and full wallets.

The quote was the 2004 team, not the grand final

Its going to rock the business big time ! I doubt the Nrl will recover.
