The body count piled up to unfathomable levels in Round 3 as Forty20 and Clint sift through the medical charts to see who made it through unscathed in this week’s news podcast. The Eels were hit hard with Mitchell Moses ruled out for 2 months with a foot injury while Bryce Cartwright also faces an uncertain short term future with a rib injury.
With Sixties on holiday (or is he?), the boys recap the big weekend of footy headlined by Parra’s big comeback victory over the Sea Eagles in the NRL. TLT has dropped and the fire rises as Blaize Talagi returns to NRL duties at five-eighth. What changes for the rookie this week in his new role? Maika Sivo returns to the left wing while Morgan Harper wins out at left centre over Bailey Simonsson.
Brisbane and Cronulla have been hammered by injuries in a wild week of footy. Upsets and big scores dominated the weekend as the boys look at the major story lines from Round 3. The Broncos at least are buoyed by the breaking news of Reece Walsh’s new mega deal.
The NSW Government have turned down a bid for Leichardt Oval funding but there is chatter about the NRL purchasing the venue. Where does this leave the Tigers? The show wraps up with a quick look at a new point of emphasis for defenders and some good news for the Dolphins.
Hagipentallis was talking on SEN early in the week. On your discussion regarding Leichhardt oval. He made mention that the biggest impediment to West Tigers using the ground was the fact that it is only capable of catering to 400 corporates.
Combank on the other hand caters for more than 2,000 corporates. That is a major issue for the club with revenue raising. The other thing that he said was that Campbelltown was the same 400 only.
It’s a massive part of modern NRL life. Clubs need to be able to cater for corporates. What surprises me is that CommBank only gets a mention for 2000. I would have suggested thought that it was more, with lower tier corporate packaging also available.
There is no escaping the fact that the suburban grounds like Campbelltown and Leichhardt are primitive venues
Maybe I heard wrong. Would not be the first time.
I think I recall reading it is 3,000
What do you boys feel about rebuilding belmore. I feel that it’s another liechardt it bad stadium . I have a mate believes it because of location and supporters are the reason .
Do you guys believe they should build belmore?
A big problem at Belmore is lack of space with the railway behind it.
Apparently if they switch the stadium the opposite way it would work. Why was commbank stadium built?
I could be wrong but I think originally it was the other way North South.
They switched it around when they built the hill. Maybe the new stand?
North South should read East West
