    Where to?

    With 2020 ending in disappointment, where to for the Roosters? What went wrong? Will 2021 see a return to the top? Despite being premiership favourites a month ago, Roosters were badly found out in the last 3 games. We won't want give them the credit - but Souths exposed some glaring...

On twitter, CEO Jon Dutton confirmed that there would be full refunds for any COVID impacted travel restrictions. Initial response seemed...

    More disappointing

    Meninga has conceded that there is little to no chance of the Kangaroos playing in 2020, and the NRL is seemingly making the same decision for other nations too. Origin, of course, will plough on ahead...

    The mythical 8 year calendar

    With the pandemic shutting down 2020, it's a good time to review and revise plans. Start fresh from 2021, with a clear roadmap and a renewed commitment from Australia and England to growing International Rugby League. I've been proposing and tweaking a calendar idea for some time on here, with...

    Cup Watch #7 Greece

    Last but not least, hopefully, of the Euro nations. Greece are making their WC debut and will be up against it in a group with some of the strongest opposition in the tournament. With professional experience thin in their playing ranks, they'll be relying on passion and maybe a lucky smile or...

    Priorities

    It's sadly clear from the recent announcements about the NRL and Origin reschedule that the Kangaroos and Internationals are a distant 3rd priority. I'm happy we're even getting a season but its disappointing to see test football yet again left for whatever scraps remain at the end. I don't...

    New York RL Launch

    New York RL has held its launch event in Liverpool with some new details emerging. NYRL will enter the Challenge Cup in January. They are seemingly pencilled in for League One 2022 at best, and in addition to the Cup will play a season of friendlies in 2021. Wilby is talking big plans, having a...

    Cup Watch #6 Italy

    We're getting towards the more enigmatic end of the Euro teams now with Italy next up. They've had some serious NRL and SL talent over the years lending some starch to their World Cup campaigns but will 2021 see them struggle? Best 17: 1 Tedesco (Sydney) 2 Polselli (Mackay) 3 Rizzelli (St...

    CupWatch #5 - France

    There's no bigger or more frustrating problem in International Rugby League than where France is vs where they could/should be. Their best roster features 17 players with Super League experience - but we've never seen their best roster on the park. They have a long history, proud heritage, and...

    CupWatch #4 Scotland

    Continuing with the European nations, next up is Scotland As with their neighbours, the gap between their best and worse is largely influenced by heritage players, as we saw from the glorious highs of 2016's 4 Nations draw with New Zealand to the appalling lows of 2017's World Cup where an...

    CupWatch #3 - Wales

    Wales, one of the sport's bigger European hopes, had a tough time of it in 2017. They took a young team up against a rampaging PNG in the Port Moresby humidity and things didn't improve much from there. 2018 was an improvement, comfortably putting scores on Ireland and Scotland to qualify early...

    England watch 2020-21 (CupWatch #1)

    Ralph Rimmer is quoted as saying “I am confident that we will do the Aussies in the Ashes series at the end of this year” source: So lets assume the blue stripe on the GB shirt was too distracting for the players last year and England will be back to their best. What team can they pick with...

    2020 in International Rugby League

    Interesting year coming up! Some big events and bigger questions. A long time to go before it really kicks off but may as well start the discussion. State of the Game The years including and since the last World Cup have seen some major positive shifts - Tonga, Fiji, and PNG have all recorded...

    What is the most common food/drink you have never even tried??

    The WC Qualifiers urgently need better treatment by the IRL

    Ireland slams shambolic Spain trip https://www.totalrl.com/ireland-stars-disgust-at-shambolic-and-dangerous-spain-trip/ The IRL needs to work with, and provide funding to hosting nations to ensure these matches are of a minimum professional standard and presentation.

    The A-Teams

    With news coming in overnight about England Knights v Jamaica in front of 7000, it's time to revisit and grow this concept. It's a controversial one but i'll keep plugging it. Tier 1 nations Australia, England and New Zealand should field an A-team annually as part of their duties to...
