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…
Much has been said about the Roosters forum this season. Some are puzzled as to why they are going so poorly but I have to say, I’m not surprised at all. The Roosters build their best sides on the back of two things. 1. They were one of the most athletic sides ever. Big, fast,…
The Bulldogs have Broken the cap again and they should get their $100,000 fine and told any breach in the next 10 years thats under $100,000 will result in the loss of 10 competition point. They weren’t the only club to break the cap, with a few other teams doing their bit as well. But…
Terrible! Penrith thoroughly deserves their record at the moment. Right now most of the side are playing like crap. The Panthers forwards have to take much of the blame if you ask me. They start games TERRIBLY and its not until the starters are replaced by bench players that the team starts to look good…
Well in case you didn’t know, the RLIF has been meeting this week and a few key announcements were made. First, news that Great Britain would be broken up into England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland heading into the 2008 World Cup was surprising. Just as the Great Britain Lions have started drawing sizable crowds in…
Keith Galloway has accept John Hopoate’s apology over this vicious attacking…..and thats the problem with the game today. Hopoate has spent nearly an entire season on the sidelines because of suspension. He has brought the game into disrepute more times then any other player I have seen in my lifetimes. Even in places like Victoria,…
Well, the Farrell saga drags on and on. Funny thing is, I don’t think ANYONE cares any more. Wigan set the RFU a deadline last week….that deadline came and went…still nothing. Shows how much standing Wigan has lost in the sporting world. Once upon a time it would have been Wigan dictating to the RFU….not…
The Sydney Roosters threat to challenge the NRL on the Salary Cap under the Trade Practices act is the second most disgraceful act by a Rugby League club since the Brisbane Broncos decision to help build Super League. Coming off of a golden era for the club, the Roosters have played in three NRL Grand…
