The Ampol Cup

I think you meant "Amco Cup" - Ampol sponsored Soccer in the late 50s to mid 80's before becoming Caltex.

Doh... hahahahaha

Has anyone sighted a Caltex servo that has been rebranded Ampol yet? I believe it was supposed to be happening by now.

I remember the Ampol Ads back in the late 60's or 70's when we had lots of petrol strikes and fuel shortages and their slogan was "why go past Ampol" and the reply was, "because they've got no bloody petrol!"

[rustycage]

Nobody running off Dallas at 4 minutes. Would have scored for sure. Anyway, we pack a scrum in 15 seconds. Lol. These blokes running around out there now had nothing on the 70s fellas.

Origin is going to suck this year. No way will the quality be as good. Most won’t have played a game for nearly 4-6 weeks.

I still would like the origin to be at the end of the season again next year

It just fits better imo

I agree
And it still doesn’t effect West’s Tigers either way lol

They could can it for all I care. It's not the same since rule changes after Gals hit on that filthy head butting scum dog.

Will never work, you will have clubs putting pressure on the star players not to play to get surgery and recovery done over the off season.

The only other way is to stop the comp for 3 weeks during the regular season
Origin needs to be played over 3 weeks not 6-7 as well
