Me too 'Macca'...

Tribute bands for a start, I will never understand that one.

I would not be surprised if the match rates well but if that does happen, then what?

I reckon there will be more questions asked in the aftermath, rather than beforehand

That almost makes it official ... it's a 'Friendly'

Not that I have an issue with an exhibition of the best plying their wares. But hopefully, we'll get to see way less congestion and the players playing in their positions (that's a big ask!)

And if the match draws a large TV & Streaming audience, so be it

Funny you say that 'Macca', I totally agree. It's a friendly.

Could you imagine the NRL putting these restrictions on???

Whateley this morning was still talking it the whole thing up...saying how the players were all in etc...

...flogging a dead horse I reckon.

Yep, the footy public isn't easily fooled. However, it could garner a large audience despite not being a fair-dinkum match

To me the timing is right and a large percentage of footy fans just love their footy no matter how it's packaged. They can't get enough of it

So it's about how the masses react, not what certain individuals might think

Those aged under the age of 30 hold the key

I see the chef still hasn't been selected for the VICS.

Might be a bruise to the ego.
