Unpopular opinion, but no reason why they can't be a top 5 league in the world in the next 15-20 years

They’ve got the money and the population to be up there. Main issue is not having champions league as the proving ground to really establish themselves in the pecking order and earn more respect.

That's very true. But the Champions League itself continues to change and I wonder if it will be the same/carry the same weight a decade down the track. My interest in European football has waned quite a bite in the last few years, more interested than ever in the a-leagues and how aussies overseas are going

it`s a shame about that tackle as Max Burgess is quite a good player.
He reminds me of the legendary Stan Bowles.

Stan is a better footballer than Burgess now

Wilko has announced his retirement. Absolutely stellar career. Always been a Mariner for me even though he's worn that ugly blue for a while.

Seen an article this morning however didn't get to read it however it was alluding to how financial woes with Paramount may impact Ch10 in Australia. Seems Paramount is not travelling very well on a worldwide basis.

 

[Tevor]

This is the crux of the issue;

"A large part of Paramount Global’s loss was related to its streaming business, emblematic of the wider issues facing the entertainment industry as the focus shifts from chasing aggressive growth in streaming to profitability."

No wonder we haven't seen pause and rewind.
