    Australia V World 7 test Gimmick Series

    Gimmick ideas never go down well for discussion on this forum, but how do you guys think this one would be, for something different, and do you think that Australia could pull off the win. Match 1 - Australia v England in England Match 2 - Australia v New Zealand in New Zealand Match 3 -...

    Would a London NRL side work instead?

    With the reduction in ESL teams and this weird new structure, which i dont understand to be honest coming in, i got to wondering whether a London NRL based side might work. I know it is out of left field and will be shot down by the doomsdayers, but it might not be as far fetched as it...

    Bender Parma Plan for world domination

    The amount of money that (imo) is about to be wasted, and i hope i am wrong, with this new TV Deal is something which makes me sick. With the amount of money that RL is getting they should be able to do whatever they want to promote the sport as a whole, but the reality is, we are going to end...

    PMs XIII in the NRL

    Just wondering, how does everyone think that the PMs XIII would compete with other NRL clubs in the NRL. Would they pick up the woodenspoon, go winless, Make the 8, Win the league? I ask this, because it is very interesting that for the last 5 years or so, PNG have shown that their home...

    Samoa v Tonga for life

    I am not so sure if this idea for a thread will work, but will give it a go. The idea is that most of us on here are in agreement with two things (in an ideal world). First, that Samoa v Tonga (and other nations) should play at least as many tests (and SOO) as Australian players do. And...

    Why do we ignore Touch?

    There are quite a few of those who are involved with the fledgling nations who post on here, so i pose the above question mainly to those although others are free to answer/comment. As a kid, (usually when you play against big kids) the most commonly played form of the game has modified...

    Lineal Ranking system

    Lineal Rankings System These are the official Rankings at the moment. Now, I am going to start witht these rankings and attempt to update them, as we go, to give an indication of how the various sides rank. If you beat a side, you will climb over the top of that side. In other words, If...

    A Rugby League World Cup in the USA - 24 teeams

    One of the recent threads here called for the 2017 world cup to be held in the USA. Without arguing for the merits of such an idea, which is discussed enough elsewhere, i think that if such a world cup was given to the USA a 24 team world cup might just work! This sounds improbable, but i...

    Salary Cap Loophole

    I got to thinking about Melbourne's 3rd party deals. In simple terms, as i understand things, Melbourne was getting their sponsors to top up player payments which is illegal under the salary cap. However, what would happen, if Melbourne, for example, instead were to entice their sponsors to...

    Holger Osieck named new Australian Manager

    Who should it be? Doesnt seem a possibility, but it would be pretty awesome if Diego Maradonna took the reigns, after his removal from argentina. Actually, i think he would be the best choice by a long way (but i expect to get attacked on here by everyone). But seriosly, who do you guys...

    What if Pim pulls a Mike Bassett

    I am interested in what peoples thoughts on the man would be, if he pulls a Mike Bassett in this world cup. Consider these results, which are possible: Australia vs Germany 3 Nil Germany - Australia never in the game. Serbia vs Ghana 2-2 Australia vs Ghana 0-0 - Schwarzer makes 10 huge...

    would a barbarian style nrl team work?

    Would a Barbarians side work in the NRL? Ok, they would need a name change. Valleys Diehards, or just Diehards, is the perfect name, I reckon but that is another story. The point being, but why not have the next licence granted to such a team. This team could, base its players training...

    Shaymus

    I may be a laughing stock here, but this fella is actually starting to grow on me. Anyone else starting to not mind him?

    2009 Champions

    There seems to be an assumption from Parramatta fans that they deserve the 2009 title, but surely this will not be the case. By my recollection, St George finished on top of the league (ahead of Melbourne even). The final series was invented as a challenge, so that the victorious team would...

    Should we stage a Dally messenger Challenge tournament

    This is one of the fantasy posts that usually get howled down as unrealitic. And i know it wont happen, but i am looking for excuse not to work, so i am going to propose it anyway. (and this one will get some serious hate going) I think that we should stage a Dally Messenger challenge at...

    Rest of the World XIII

    With Australia, New Zealand and England as the accepted top 3, how would a rest of the World side look and go against the big 3 in the 4 nations. 1. Hayne (Fij) 2. Mead (PNG) 3. Jennings (Ton) 4. Talau (Sam) 5. Uate (Fij) 6. Bosc (Fra) 7. Roberts (Sam) 13. Mateo (Ton) 12 Newton (USA) 11...

    I think it is nearly time for a 20 team 1st divison

    In 2012, one has to think that Toulouse will go up to ESL. This leaves us with a growing game in France, and 2 or 3 teams looking to joing the Champions league and English supporters demanding a fully professional French league. I think it might be time to merge the two leagues. IN fact, now...

    Best guest GM so far?

    It is a tough job. Some have been pretty good and others shocking, who do you think has done the best job so far? Some comments on performances that I can remember? Mini Me (dont know his name) - probably the worst performance i can remember. Jesse Venture - Really surprised me, i...

    The Franchise system

    What are everybody's thoughts on the Franchise system in the ESL? Personally, i like what the ESL are trying to do, and while they have done nothing controversial or different to what a strict promotion and relegation system would ahve done, there is one thing that i find very strange...
