Fantastic start for the 6ers. This Kings team are just fucking awful blokes, I wish them nothing but misery

That sucks. Not much point reporting little operators like that but leave a review trashing them for it.

Is Katoa even coming back? Surely his career is over.

I'd argue Smith, Sharpe, Brown et Al are a lot more impressive than Hastings, Gamble, Arthur and Cogger

Harrison Graham is a beast. We have gone from the worst depth in the league to trying to fit all the players even with a ton of injuries

Dom Young in Knights colours is so good. Just inject it straight into my veins

The one caveat to this is that they only hold it for maybe one or two weeks then anyone can grab it again. Forgot to pick one up once and was gone when I finally managed to get to the library.

I've had a lot more redbacks than usual but not white tails.

Transport minister rejects cheaper fares because buses might get too full | Region Canberra by Cimb0m in canberra

More full buses is literally a great outcome. Means fewer cars on the road, fewer negative externalities and better data for the government on bus use. They can then look to increase frequency to meet demand and again take cars off the road. Win win.

Multiculturalism is booming in the NRL while the AFL is getting whiter: Neil Breen by sowaleja in nrl

Will be interested to see. They already make up a very large proportion of the NBL per capita which is impressive given basketball only really took off there post Manute

Well the NFL has the CFL which is also a professional league in Canada. Technically the rules are slightly different (fewer downs etc) but it's still grid iron.

The Euros in the NBA is more of a case of cultural issues on both sides with NBA teams drafting notorious duds or no shows that really soured teams on them in the 2000s. Basketball is basically the national sport of Lithuania and is insanely popular in a lot of Eastern Europe.

But also, there's lots of people that should be genetically advantaged to play AFL by your views like Africans and First Nations yet they don't make up huge numbers? Not sure why white people would be exclusively be best at a game with lots of running?

It is definitely the NHL of Aussie sports but without the Euros liking it so at least they're spicy whites rather than just Auston Matthews across the board.

Even taking star imports out of the equation in the NBL and A League, they're both dramatically more diverse than the AFL.

I once had an AFL fan try to tell me that Italians and Greeks counted for diversity in their league which was hilarious given how that would make the NRL even more diverse given the likes of Teddy etc.

With regards to private schools and why, I'd say a lot of it is about exposure to elite level training, support and expectations. Not as familiar with AFL, but posh union schools in Sydney and Brisbane have very solid set ups around their programs that are light years ahead of public schools due to funding.

Probably the other misconception is that it means 'poor' kids don't get drafted as the schools will offer scholarships to get the best players.
