Re: A new Canberra Stadium

Interestingly ACT population projections indicate we could reach 800,000 people in the territory (not to mention surrounding regions) by 2060. That's near the population of San Francisco. So this stadium could be servicing a region of 1 million people by the time it hits 35 years old. San Fran's NF...

An internal draft would cover movement of players already in the NRL top 30 players. Or you could include players on supplementary lists. It’s for established players. An external draft would cover those who are playing junior football, who have not entered the NRL squads.
