This is a topic i have been dreading for years and been saying the issues for years. I need to write this down as the ideas presented recently are concerning for the NRL moving forward. To summarise, the NRL are looking at, once 20 teams are in, of…
"Its 14 less. Have they go with the same amount of rounds with more teams its 50 more games.
Are you going to pay more money as a tv station or streamer for almost the same amount and less weeks overall of TV content?

"With more teams it's almost exactly the same amount of games in total. "
"Issue is since they have done this they cannot go back. Dan Ginnane said that last year once you go to 27 rounds you cannot go back. If you do it is to 26 rounds.

A V Nice gesture Carlo. Hope you had a good day reminiscing with many great yarns and thoughts. Thanks for the post and my thoughts are with you.
:) an amazing life celebrating your mum.
My heart goes out to you. Reading my dad's eulogy was 1 of hardest things I have ever done in my life.
It sounds like you have a great family and no doubt the memories of your dear mum have set not only you up but your kids and family for success through her hard work and legacy.
If only everyone took parenting and leading by example as serious as your mum did the world would be a much greater place.
What a life your mum lived, the experiences she had and the stories she must have told. A good life.
Your mum was an amazing women and lived some kind of like amiga!
Thanks for shaing. I hope you are ok and being kind to yourself x
Amazing Lady your mum Carlo.I did my HSC at Granville tech in my early 20,s. and also went to Macquarie Uni. There were a number of people in their 30,s and 40,s who also did their HSC in 1970,s . They were good years and many finally had the freedom and opportunity to take advantage of Gough Whitlam's free university education with a student living allowance. Your mum sounds like she lived a productive life and I do admire people who grow into putting the effort in to live life to the fullest with self-development and also giving a part of themselves to help others.
Your Mother sounds like she was a amazing lady and being a Roosters fan she would of been full of class .
Outstanding work Carls, very good eulogy, shed have been proud.
How are you going?
Reads like your mum had a great life, and enjoyed different parts of this world. Good on her for fighting in what se believed in
Hope it was a peacefully day.
That is a wonderful Eulogy full of happy memories Carlo and you should be proud. Sounds like a great farewell. As you get a bit older you miss them and the little saying and habits even more. Just be sure to pass on little sayings and habits to your kids so they have those memories also. I am curious about two things...you mentioned she liked Opera but didn't mention her favourite Opera or Opera singer? She liked old movies so what was her favourite old movie? I haven't been to Rookwood and Quirindi to visit the old rellos for a long time and this is a timely reminder to still visit the departed regularly and have a chat. My parents would make a yearly pilgrimmage to Rookwood to visit all the rellos and lay flowers. We have a Great Uncle who was an ANZAC Lighthorseman buried at Bathurst and I cannot get my kids interested to go and visit him. Next long weekend I will be off doing the rounds. Cudos again for a wonderful life and agreat send off. This is a great time to watch James Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life"
PT I recall her seeing La Boheme a lot
and she loved Audrey Hepburn so
Roman Holiday prob or Breakfast at Tiffany's
dad was the master movie man - he has a photographic memory so he is like a movie oracle - his Dad was the Australian buyer for Greater Union so bought from paramount and universal etc
