    Jayden Campbell

    A special shout out to Titans Jayden Campbell who took it to the Melbourne Storm last night. His father Preston would have been proud. Chris Garry is reporting the Titans are set to start him regularly at fullback next year and move AJ Brimson to five-eight. I could see positives for Brimson as...

    John Morris Quits

    John Morris has quit as head coach of the Sharks after being advised that Craig Fitzgibbon will take over at the Sharks next year. Assistant coach Josh Hannay will take over in the interim. It was probably better for Morris to walk away, it he thought the situation would get worse. Anthony...

    The big NRL divide

    Panthers 46 Sea Eagles 6 Rabbitohs 38 Bulldogs 0 Storm 40 Broncos 6 The Cowboys as we speak are getting mauled by the Sharks. Me thinks there is a big divide between the NRL teams. The factors behind some will link to the new six again rule. But Gus Gould said on his podcast that its not a...

    Next Queensland coach?

    It's been confirmed Wayne Bennett won't be returning. Paul Green is the obvious the choice as successor but the QRL want the next coach to commit for three years. Which would then give life to the shock selection of Billy Slater. Slater is certainly very smart when you hear his commentary but...

    The scrum to be abolished?

    Super league in UK have removed the scrum. There is no doubt the Australian Rugby League Commission will be watching closely to see how this effects the game. Gus Gould has called for the scrum to be removed suggesting there no reason to have it in the game because it serves no purpose. He went...

    Try scoring team kick offs

    NRL is reportedly considering changing the rule where the try scoring team kicks off rather then the team that conceded a try kicks off in the rule changes. Gus Gould thinks its a disadvantage to the team conceding points and will further blow out contests and he points it to happening in...

    Try replays with music in the background.......

    They had replays of try's with music in the background on channel nine tonight. It reminded me of the 1980's where they had replays of try's with music in the background. I'm pretty sure they were done with that and ditched it when it came to the nineties. Not sure why they ditched it - I guess...

    Bulldogs embracing being Spoiler

    Full credit to Dean Pay and the Bulldogs. They could have shut up shop like the Titans at the end of season but have kept putting in and punished some teams who have been complacent with them. Playing for pride really does mean something here-circling that you have easy W against the Bulldogs...

    Billy J Smith

    RIP. I remember him frequently in the mid-late eighties and early nineties . He was commentator for rugby league, QLD Footy Show, and the Knockout. I remember he started off on the QLD Footy Show but later Chris Bomboulas would host and Smith was no longer there. They use to televise Gold Coast...

    Jonthan Thurston's last game

    Jonathan Thurston last game of his career almost definitely is at CBUS stadium Gold Coast and a idea has been thrown up to move it up to Townsville so he gets a final farewell. Terrible idea. It would set precedent doing something like this, and its also a thin swipe at the Titans suggesting...

    The renaissance of the penalty goal

    The penalty goal was an important part of the game in the eighties and early nineties. Then the 5m rule went out and the 10 m rule came in, the points racked up and suddenly the penalty kick for goal became irrelevant because the amount of tries that were scored. I notice teams are now bringing...

    Tony Williams

    Apparently he's likely ruptured his ACL, if its true this might be the last we have seen of him. Disappointing way to end your career whatever your thoughts of him as a player. I haven't watched a lot of Parramatta this year, but he seemed to be putting in the effort against the Tigers before...

    New Zealand's search for a new coach

    Names have been thrown up are Laurie Daley and Michael Maguire. Maguire is an interesting choice but he would come with a big price tag. Maguire may also be focused on landing a NRL coaching job and may not be interested or a good choice long term, although Wayne Bennett can juggle both Broncos...

    Josh Reynolds returns.....

    But he won't be starting, probably a smart move by Ivan Clearly because Benji Marshall doing a good job stirring the Tigers around the park. But despite Tigers winning on tough defence and grit they need more points because as the season wears on they will find it harder as the Dragons found out...

    100% Footy

    A new show that will air on Nine Monday night at 10pm should be interesting to see how it goes with Paul Gallan and Gus Gould clashing heads. A new Monday night offering, 100% Footy will be hosted by James Bracey, with Phil Gould, Paul Gallen, Ruan Sims and Neil Breen...

    World Club Challenge

    Reports the World Club Challenge may be in doubt. I'm not sure why, I don't see a lack of interest in the concept. I suppose there must be their reasons from the NRL clubs though. The world cup probably has made the schedule a little bloated as well. NRL owes it to the game to make WCC...

    A look back at 1990's expansion

    An interesting article and a look back at expansion in the 90's. The article makes some interesting points: Clubs that were axed Rams, Reds, and Crushers had the most potential for success. Hunter Mariners were the worst choice for expansion going up against and a Newcastle Knights which had a...

    Matt Scott will not play in the Grand Final

    Paul Green has announced Matt Scott will not play in the Grand Final. Did Paul Green make the right call? I read Corey Jensen has offered to stand aside if Matt Scott is ready. Downside is it could wreck the chemistry and Scott will lack match fitness and be rusty. However Scott off the bench...

    Young Captains

    Does anyone think Captains should be chosen through natural succession? I tend to think it would be a smarter way to go. Mark Geyer has criticised the choices of Matt Moylan and Roger Ruivasa-Sheck as Captains. He hasn't criticised them for their youth but more that they would be better to...
