    NRL Players Boxing in the Off Season

    Question... How can NRL clubs allow their players to box in the off season when there is so much emphasis on protecting the head / head injuries in general between March and October? Surely also any player that boxes during their career is forfeiting any possibility of suing the NRL for CTE in...

    RLWC 2021 Profits?

    Has anyone heard anything official on the profit made by the 2021 WC? This roar article suggests that it would have made a small loss which I find hard to believe given the sponsorship and government funds were greater than any previous tournament...

    Kangaroos Matches Lost Since the 80's

    Following the Kangaroo's 12th World Cup title and third in a row. I thought I post some interesting stats about their record since the beginning of the 80's.

    Folau and Tonga

    With the news of Folau signing with Catalans, the obvious question from an international point of view is will he perform well enough to break into the Tonga squad and if he can return to his best does he make them stronger? I'd imagine if he does make the team he plays fullback with Hopoate...

    Would you prefer dynasties in the game or talent equalisation?

    I've been listening lately to a superb podcast by The Rugby League Digest on the Super League War including the beginnings in 1994. It got me thinking about the great Raiders and Broncos teams of the 90's and even good sides like Manly and Norths were recognisable in that era by the players that...

    Fiji NSW Cup Bid & Redcliffe Dolphins NRL News Update from Petero Civoneciva

    I was on the Gold Coast yesterday and Petero was making an appearance in a Telstra shop on behalf of the NRL in his ambassador role. I had a chat to him for about 15 mins, mainly about his involvement with the Fiji NSW Cup bid and the Redcliffe Dolphins. On Fiji's NSW Cup Bid: He said that they...

    Rationalisation of Sydney

    The NRL probably isn't moving past 18 clubs, even the AFL don't find that sustainable and they have the largest revenue of any sport in the country. So with that in mind, we have two expansion spots for the following potential areas: Brisbane 2 NZ 2 Perth Adelaide I've left off areas like...

    Attn: Mods re: expansion threads

    Mods, I'm not sure how else to get this message to you but I wanted to make contact about the number of threads being shut down in the expansion area lately. Myself and a few others genuinely want to discuss expansion of the game and there are a couple of posters (my suspicion is that it is...

    Wet weather final - who does this benefit?

    Looks like it is going to rain quite a bit on Saturday in Brisbane including during the game. Does this benefit either team? My opinion is that it will provide a slight benefit to England and serve to close the gap between the sides. I think if England are ever going to end both the series /...

    Are the Kiwis trying to sabotage international RL?

    2013 World Cup Semi-Final at Wembly playing against the home team England, live on the BBC, huge crowd in attendance and the Kiwis break the hearts of the English in an epic match. Good on them but an English victory that day would have had such an impact in England. Fast forward four-years...
