    Guess the 17

    Ok so with no footy on for a while, lets play a bit of a game here, with everyone on Fox or Facebook picking their 17 of all time for clubs, Origins, tests, 80s, 90s, whatever, I thought I'd start with a team of 17, but you have to guess what all these players have in common, the person who gets...

    This great game

    Like everyone here I love this great game, Rugby League. Thursday night getting home from work there was nothing on TV. Then last night there was that real weird feeling, finishing up work, ordering a pizza, opening up a cold one, switching to Fox League with no NRL game, late March on a...

    Most games covered live in one day?

    Its interesting to note that 5 games will be covered this Saturday, all live. Now in the past we've previously had this number of games played on a Sunday if not more, but only 1 game would be covered on TV, delayed coverage. Could it be a first this weekend? 5 games in one day, all...

    Permanent fixtures

    After the two games at ANZ on the Easter Weekend, it looks like again we're heading for more big crowds on ANZAC Day. The NRL should pen these matches as a permanent fixtures on these days. Good Friday, Bulldogs Vs Souths Easter Monday, Eels Vs Tigers ANZAC Day, Dragons Vs Roosters ANZAC Day...

    Gareth Widdop

    Its interesting, if the Bulldogs win, James Graham will join a long list of English players to have won a competition in Australia. However with Gareth Widdop would be included in the list if Melbourne were to win? I mean he's definately a Pom, born and raised, came to Victoria when he was a...

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but next week, for the first time since the top 8, 7 or 10 was introduced back in 1995, the teams who finished in the top 4 will play each other in the preliminary finals. Since 1995, there has been at least one team outside the top 4 who still remained one...

    Ive seen a lot of different One Day shirts at the cricket lately, but I saw a bloke where one that goes back to the late 80s/ early 90s and with the Personally I prefer the yellow or "Australian Gold" shirts than the green, but this current shirt is better than the one the last few years. One...

    Most bizarre statistics

    I know its the off season but over the years we've seen some interesting stats. Here's a few weird ones: Andrew Ettingshausen scored 5 tries in a match against Illawarra in 1989, but whats more interesting is that he scored 5 tries again against Souths in 1994, both happened on the same day...

    Welcome back boys..

    Well after Willie Tonga's signing just recently, it got me thinking how many ex Parra players have returned to this great club they sorely missed. I can probably go back to 1997 when Brian Smith first took over. 1997: Jason Bell (Souths and I think Norths as well) 1998: Dave Penna (Souths)...

    Wettest Rugby Leagues

    Flashback 1991, City Vs Country

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfBu_NdaIiI Interesting game, this was played during the day, probably the last time the City/Country Origin game was played during the day. Wondering what day of the week this was played, and you reckon it was played around Easter. Some big names in both sides...
