    We Are the Real Deal

    I'm now ready to say it. We absolutely dismantled Manly yesterday; the first half was close to the most perfect half of football I've seen in the 18-and-a-bit years of the Wests Tigers. Tommy Turbo (who is an absolute gun) was completely shutdown. Ditto his brother. Ditto Taupau. Ditto DCE...

    Author: Ian Heads

    Ian has authored a number of books on Rugby league, his lastest is "The Great Grand Final Heist" about the 1969 NSWRL Grand Final between Balmian and South Sydney.

The advantage to a...

    "Fire Up" Radio Show

It's actually a really good show, the hosts - Steven Ferris and Brett Oatten - are funny bastards and remind me of early Roy and HG. They usually have a special guest on, last week it was...

    No Expansion

    While it's a fanciful notion adding more teams to the competition to potentially increase broadcasting revenue, exposure for sponsors and heartland/non-heartland fan bases; I think, overall, it will be detrimental to the strength of the competition and will put too much strain on key areas: a...

    Cartharsis

    i feel sick. aside from 2005, i've never experienced my team making the finals. i didn't really follow footy pre-'98 and, while the tigers have had more than their fair share of heartbreaking near-misses in regular season games, it really doesn't compare to losing a preliminary final. not in...

    Where do they get their money?

    when i look at the crowds and coverage of the super league clubs i wonder how they could possibly have more money to throw at australian-based players than the nrl clubs. i'm not intending to be patronizing here, i'm just wondering where they get their money from. is there a higher level of...

    I read on Peter FitzSimons' page in the Saturday SMH a quote from a kid from Alice Springs who recently got back from the World Youth Games in Russia. he was in the Australian representative rugby league side. Does anyone know anything about this?
