TEAM LIST Round 24 vs Manly

[weststigers]

So if you’re not insulted why do you think others would be? My wife and I have both coached and/or managed our kids teams and I couldn’t care less about having a round for me and the Women getting one

The squeaky wheel gets the grease big boy

So I guess you're anti Magic Round too 🤔

You're boring

Well...there you go. Becaise you don't care it makes it alright. I have aboriginal friends that don't care about indigenous round...lets scrap it? No...why? It's not about you.

Just getting in on the anti-woke stuff...I understand where people are coming from with criticising these gestures. I guess the main interest from the NRL is revenue raising. Women of league and indigenous round allow for merchandise and media attention and work to build their inclusive less macho image, which is crucial in the modern landscape. It's just a reality of modern corporate world. Despite that cynical appraisal I think you have to be incredibly sensitive and wound up to find that offensive. Raising awareness of women in league and indigenous culture, whether profit and image driven or not, is not a problem.

What annoys me though is that aflw gets lead story in the sports report this morning on the abc after the Penrith v storm game last night. They do big report and interview for aflw first round and then the briefest mention of the league result with no interview or mention of its significance. Sydney is a rugby league town, how is it we end up giving more time to aflw? I'm not criticising aflw, great that women's sport is going so well, but there's just far more attention on the NRL and this was a crucial match in the context of the season and was a classic, yet a nothing game gets foregrounded.

I wouldn't worry about anything to do with the Women's AFL. Its a sinking ship. Ive noticed more media for it in recent weeks. They are just throwing money at it trying to spark interest, but no one cares because it's a sh1t product.

As you said, this is way off Wests v Manly chatter -
but I might point out that the Palestinian Authority have for many years also supplied bags of cash. Their cash has gone to the families of terrorists who have died in their quest to murder Israelis (The Martyrs Fund).

This is the same Palestinian Authority that our PM is now throwing his full support behind to solve the impossibly complex Middle East brouhaha 🤷‍♂️

...a history of differing perspectives. I'd be happy to chat peacefully on the subject if there was a dedicated thread. On topic threads give the forum it's value.

Some see enough news and politics already, footy topics should be free from it. Dedicated threads give forumers the choice.

Dedicated threads to politics or the Balmain vs Wests arguments always end up being canned when they get heated.

Especially any political debate including Donald T.

Cant really speak for the women's AFL, however I have been watching a few of the women's NRL games over the years and the trajectory of improvement in quality and skill is quite impressive. If they keep improving they will capture a decent audience. I think at the end of the day there is an insatiable appetite for content from the pay tv companies, so you don't really need NRL men's quality product to find a niche and survive.

I am not the one wanting the rounds scrapped, I was saying I don’t care if they have them and have no issue with Women’s Round. You are the one complaining about having the rounds and not seeing the point. Nice deflecting as usual
