OK, so they were followed by about 6,496 others, but still, thats a pathetic crowd for ANY club. With so many people willing to point the finger at Melbourne when they get 8,500 people to a game, you have to wonder where the critics are when Souths get even less to a game! Where are…
You have to hand it to some of these players….they really think they can have their cake and eat it too. So last week, Braith Anasta heads over to have a meeting at the headquarters of the ARU and predictably, there are about 1000 journo’s following. Who would have thought….I mean, it was just a…
Well, its finally here.

How bad are the Panthers going? Its funny because when the Panthers win, Im ok. But when they lose, it just ruins my whole week. If you went on League Unlimited last week you will have seen that I predicted the big Dragons win before the game. The Panthers defence is just tragic at the…
Well the Queensland squad was named a few weeks ago but now its a more relevant time to bring it up. The QRL named just a 22 man squad and that squad was: Shaun Berrigan, Matt Bowen, Paul Bowman, Tonie Carroll, Petero Civoniceva, Michael Crocker, Chris Flannery, Dallas Johnson, Darren Lockyer, Steven Price, Scott Prince,…
Well the City vs Country game has been run and won and the NSW selectors have chosen a 30 man squad for the upcoming State Of Origin series. Braith Anasta, Luke Bailey, Danny Buderus, Trent Barrett, Ryan Cross, Ben Creagh, Joel Clinton, Matt Cooper, Craig Fitzgibbon, Mark Gasnier, Craig Gower, Scott Hill, Nathan Hindmarsh, Ben…
Well I gave them a number of weeks to get their act together but they haven’t come good. The Panthers lost to a poor Raiders side on the weekend. I only saw the first half of the match..but still..you could see the problems the Panthers had despite their good start to the match. The Panthers…
Ive had alot to say this week about Stacey Jones as news emeraged he had quit on the Warriors completely and will head to France to play. Im not surprised, I suggested this move was on the cards about a year ago. What Im am surprised about is the attitude of NZ fans who keep…
Well first off, lets wrap up the first Rugby League Test match of 2005. Its wasnt the best Test match ever, but they are not all going to be gifts from God are they. I thought Australia did what they had to, they never got out of first gear and they got the job done….
The NZRL wants an Kiwi Origin series. They also want Kiwi’s to be allowed to play in the Australian State Of Origin series. The ARL meanwhile was surprised that the first test match played in 6 years in the second biggest League center on planet Earth attracted a crowd. Because of this, they are re-thinking…
From broken promises to leaked memo’s to over protective board members and fans to a decade of having won nothing…..South Sydney, The Rabbitohs….call them what ever they like, they are a terrible football club. The Bunnies have really shown this year how ingrained failure is at their club. Lets just look at what they have…
Well the RFL is starting to get serious about drug testing and its now handing out real suspensions for players that get caught. Well done to them. Now if only they could go back 6 months and take a look at the handful off excuses they accepted including two team mates that just happened to…
If you head on over to RLFans you’ll see the petition for Salford to get a brand new 20,000 seat stadium. This is a club that struggles to break the 4,000 mark, a club that’s barely of SL standard. They need a 20,000 seat stadium like I need an ego boost! Anyone that signs that petition has…
How good are Manly going. At the top of the NRL ladder, flying high and playing really well over some good opposition. As I watched them last weekend I thought about why they are so good…..and it hit me like an weekly Adrian Morley stiff arm that supposedly bounced off my chest! Manly brought players…
