    Bledisloe Cup

    I kinda agree, to be honest the AB's put on a woeful display of footy. Too many handling errors, lack of intensity when on attack, ill discipline at times, aimless kicking, unfortunately there wasn't that many positives. I guess the Coach was trying new combinations which I think will need some...

    Wellington and Fiji bids combine as the 'South Pacific Cyclones'

    Whilst I was working in Wellington from 1989 onwards, Wainuiomata was practically a strong League area. I remember the Lomax boys, and even worked with Uncle/Father - John Lomax. The teams I remember most was Upper Hutt back in the 1980's our Boyz from WangaVegas had reached the finals and...

    Wellington and Fiji bids combine as the 'South Pacific Cyclones'

    I would love to see a Wellington Club in the NRL, our city falls within the Wellington Province, and Wellington Province has a big catchment area Including (4 x Cities: Wellington CBD, Lower/Upper Hutt, Palmerston North and Wanganui) total pop: over 500,000, if you add in Napier/Hastings and New...

    Welcome to our new NRL Expansion Forum

    Sorry guys I'm a bit of an "ole digger" here, any of you fellas remember the North Sydney Bears going back to Winfield Cup Days. Would they have been in a similar location (if they were still around) to the Central Coast Bears. Use to follow (North Sydney Bears) them a lot, Mark Graham...

    Is There Anything Good About Melbourne?

    Stuart quits eels

    I agree Raider_69, I do think that Stuart would need to gel his team to allow them to operate as a cohesive unit. This may take some time, and I am sure that the Raiders Board would have taken this into consideration when appointing Stuart to the position of Coach. Were almost towards the...

    Where will we finish?

    8th or 9th placing is better than a bottom placing. A bit unfortunate really because the Warriors left their best games towards the end of the business run. A couple of wins at the start may have seen the Warriors placed towards top half. Kia kaha Bro's roll on 2014 and a much improved...

    Would a London NRL side work instead?

    I tend to agree EH, logistic's and geographic wise this concept is not feasible at this point in time. A shame really because if we put these barriers aside the effects of a London based NRL side would certainly create benefits from a UK perspective.

    Wellingtonians

    We orgsanised 2 x full busloads from Wanganui plus several fans preferred to to drive in their own cars to Wellington from Wanganui. I think all up from our group we had about 460 diehard League Fans who drove for 3 hours to be at the game. We not only watched the main game but we also watched...

    FFS Wheres the pride and passion

    I agree Shorty and Kia ora Storm, we lacked depth and experience and we were certainly lacking game breakers as you have mentioned above. But overall the Kiwi's, lacked pace around the park and their metre gain was not all that successful other then for when they attacked the Kangaroo right...

    FFS Wheres the pride and passion

    It was a privilege to have front seats at the stadium and to watch the Kangaroos as they clinically dissected the Kiwi's. From the initial kick off from the Kiwi's it looked like the home team were ready to score from a Kangaroo mistake in front of their goal posts. But, the Kangaroos showed...

    about the 4th QLD team

    Hey Bomber, How goes it mate, thanks for the comment. You make some valid comments, and I think they are worth exploring further. I considered a two conference window, as some time ago on this very same website and I think another website there was much discussion on how to accommodate...

    about the 4th QLD team

    Yes I would support another club in Queensland, it would be great for the State, equally I would support expansion in other regions as well. However, with expansion we need to consider serveral factors in an already congested schedule. The current NRL format is fine, but if for example the...

    FoxSports News - Tahu signs with ARU

    I stated once before on this website, that the ARU continue to bleed Rugby League of its established players. The NRL have to put a stop to this, and Mr Gallop and his management team have to consider options to halt this switch. Obviously money is one of the factors and in this case it would...

    I need Help!

    Hey CarlNZ, Palmerston North and Wanganui are my stamping grounds, if you have an opportunity shoot off to the Library at Massey University, you'll find a fair bit of material there, it may not be all related, but at least its a start. Alternatively contact Howie Tamati, he's the Chief...

    Womens Handball Final

    No, not all my posts refer to my country, if I refer to my country it would have some significance or relevance to the thread. Marshall Stalin, yes I have seen that name come up regularly, probably just as well there was NOT a member with the name of: CHAIRMAN MAO Can you imagine...

    The Olympics - Top Three Countries since 1896

    Yes that is correct, the East Germans had what was called "State Plan 14-25". There was a coment and at the time the female athletes were called the East German Wonder Girls, who were innocent victims of the East German Government to succeed in sports no matter what the cost. This was...

    Womens Handball Final

    I am a Kiwi and have been coaching Handball both in New Zealand and Germany along with my partner who comes from Eisenach, Germany. The origins of Handball are a little sketchy with Germany claiming that title, however, Handball was initially a outdoor event. I attended the games in Sydney...
