This is the best they have looked over that 6 year reign , if you are being honest the key players are at the peak of there powers the team is super power balanced across the park less reliance on individuals they have just created a power system that makes players just excel in .
@SnoogThe@JacintaAllanMP@VictorianLabor When you have 5.4m or 24% of the national population on some sort of government support program I think the damage is already done so why not just go all in, the house is already on fire so just through some more fuel on it and burn it down quicker
Fitzgibbon biggest flaw has been he hasnβt bread his strong junior base into the team and just been content with a Winning game percentage every year . He is now stuck with a high end roster that needs movement and his team is going to be stuck with young kids short of top end experience .
He needs to find the storm panthers model , in my opinion sharks have the best junior or base outside those two clubs to be winners Storm do it through Qld panthers through Western Corridor and nsw west Sydney , the sharks have that huge south corridor and just donβt tap it
@SnoogThe Itβs embarrassment of riches 17 clubs x 30 In each squad out of the 520 registered top tier players id love to know how many come out of the Penrith Junior system .
If you account for total eyeballs on each match the NRL is killing AFL when combining Tv and crowds , the AFL have larger capacity venues and the game isnβt friendly to TV as the game is played away from the ball a lot of the time .
The only reason the AFL can command comparable TV rights money is because the ball out of play is considerably higher and the game goes for longer with all the stoppage which provides for more advert revenue opportunity during the game .
