    Prince - one of the most disappointing players of our generation?

    Saw his highlights on the Footy Show this morning and it reminded me that he was pretty silky smooth on his day. Agree with most people that by chasing the dollars (and the free houses) on the GC he probably ruined the Tigers next 5 years and his own career.

    Best centre in the game

    Has anyone ever stopped GI in an origin match (lyon included)? Nope.

    This new stadium for Sydney better not be multi-purpose

    Rather than believing TK's piece of shit rumours, I'd like to see some sort of joint committee established between the ARLC, FFA and ARU. Do some due diligence to find the best spot for the stadium, best size and work out some management and ownership rights. Lets get this thing right, and we...

    Supposed "hardman" exposed

    I hate Matai as much as the rest of the rugby league world, but I thought it was a fair enough shot. The other Burgess brother took a dive to milk a penalty and missed the scrap. He's the one out of any of them that I would label soft. What ever happened to taking a hit and not showing anyone...

    Crowd Watch 2013

    I've got faith in the new administration that they wont ruin this by moving it to ANZ. That's a Gallop-type move.

    Bulldogs fullback Ben Barba stood down indefinitely

    I dont really see why the media are treating this as some "disgrace" story for the NRL. (Well I do actually, the media are f**king geniuss) The poor guy broke up with his misso and is having a rough trot. The club or himself have taken a pretty upfront approach to it which is refreshing, but...

    Quade Cooper quits Wallabies - linked to NRL

    He's not gonna make it in league if he wants to start off in the "600k+ top tier" category (Marshall/Thurston/Barba etc). It seems that's the advice he would be getting from Khoder Nasser's crew but not many clubs would be taking the bait. He's a pretty incredible marketing tool for the Reds...

    Panthers cap crisis.

    I'm sure the root of the problem somehow lies with Matt Elliott.

    All Stars rule experiment - rugby league lineouts.

    The actual idea is pretty bad. But I would probably like to see some sort of challenge for the ball in the game. Whether it be following a knock-on/forward pass or when the ball goes in touch. Something reasonably innovative (i.e. not copying union) but not destroying the fabric of the game.

    Benji Marshall's Manager seeking release from NRL contract

    1. Benji had a quiet year and probably slipped out of the top 10/20 in most people's opinion. His manager is just getting him back into the "elite player" conversation. Ringing the telegraph and saying he's gonna play in Japan is the best way to do it. Get's his name back in the spotlight...

    New ARLC CEO Discussion

    The media have absolutely no idea, and its kind of refreshing. Rothfield is trying to do one article a week about how bad Grant is, but I think he's fighting a losing battle. All they have is that original list that's been recycled a million times (Greenberg, Warren Wilson Etc) which was...

    2013 Jersey, Logo, Sponsorship Discussion

    Yep. The changing of designs every 2-3 years (and having 7 different strips a year) is so short-sighted. Some marketing douche thought of this and now it's gotten to the point where it's just stupid. Your jersey is your club's history/heritage. Tigers have completely f**ked theirs in the last 13...

    Rumoured Signings 2013

    Any chance Hopoate (or his family I guess) was getting 50-100k these two years he's been gone. Just to lighten the load later on? Under the cap of course.

    NRL convert Israel Folau appears set to retire from Greater Western Sydney

    I wonder if all that aerobic training he was doing to be afl-ready is going to have any benefits for his return. I reckon GWS probably have a better sports science department than most NRL teams so will be interesting to see how he is handled. I really hope he signs for any of the western...

    Scott Princess going to the old dart

    I'd say both teams are probably better off. Broncos couldn't have another season relying on Wallace as your linchpin, and the Titans are ready for some fresh blood to come into the halves (possibly sam williams or someone from within??). But geez, individually he'd have to be one of the most...

    The Strategic Plan (2013-2017)

    At the very least its a solid PR exercise that gives the media some POSITIVE news about the game in the off-season. I understand the old administration didn't have much money to play around with, but surely they still could have produced strategies and plans like this (albeit with more...
