    RLW now out Mondays.

    Im not a fan of this, first of all there is no wrap up of the weekends matches,no in-depth preview of the coming weekends fixtures and no more international scoreboard - something that has been a staple of RLW ever since I started reading the mag in 86-87. Am I alone in thinking this way?

    World Cup of beer!

    Well it looks like I wont be going to the RLWC unless a miracle happens,which means Im going to have to watch from half a world away. Now as most games are on when the pubs are closed I have decided to combine my love of international footy with my love of beer for the month and stock up on...

    Which country will have the most home grown players?

    Just wondering where we are at with which country outside of Aus,NZ,PNG,Eng,France and Wales will have the most domestic players in their World Cup line up.I think Scotland will use this tournament as chance to reward their domestic players as they have no realistic chance of getting out of...

    Euro Cup 2012 to feature England?

    Just read on the Scotland RL website that Scotland will play England and Italy in the Euro Cup in October?It says professional, so no mention of it being a development tournament.I would guess that France,Ireland and Wales are in the other group.I think this would be awesome rlwc preparation for...

    World Sevens or All stars game?

    I dont mind the all-star game it does give our indigenous peoples the recognition they deserve for their contribution to our game,but I loved the sevens.My brother and I went every year and it launched the code in Fiji and the USA. I just want to get a general feel on everyone out there in...

    What if this happens?

    Say Italy win the European zone and Lebanon finish second,then South Africa win the Atlantic Cup and USA finish second.Would there be any chance of the RLWC going to 16 teams.If the RLIF did,it would mean we have teams from every continent.Europe/England,Wales,Scotland,Ireland France and...

    West Coast Bears

    Now I dont want to be seen as giving up the ghost but I feel the NRL will be admitting Perth and Brisbane as the 17th and 18th teams.I am a lifelong bears fan,played with Asquith,Berowra and Harold Matts and SG Ball for the bears and I just want a team to follow.Im at the point now where as long...

    Will the RLWC qualifiers be televised?

    Hey guys just wondering if anyone out there knows if the qualifiers will be either televised or streamed on the web?In '07 the qualifiers between Lebanon,Samoa,Wales,Ireland and USA were shown on sky sports in the UK and on NRL.com's leaguetv.Would be awesome if we could get a similar package...

    Longest Contract

    Hey guys I need to win a bet at work,as far as I know Terry Campese's 5 year deal is the longest contract I can remember.So my question is has anyone ever signed a longer deal and actually seen it out.The pommy bloke I work with says Lee Crooks was on a 10 year deal in the 80s.

    Welsh eligible players in the NRL?

    I know there is a list in the resources section but its a bit out of date.But are there any NRL players eligible for Wales for this years 4 nations?With the WC so close and Wales co-hosting a pummelling like the Kumuls took last year would be disastrous.The taffys have fairly strong base already...

    19 team NRL and how it would work.

    To me it seems that if the NRL do decide to expand there are 3 very strong bids on the table (CC Bears,WA Reds & Brisbane2) 1 strong bid (Central QLD),2 average bids (Ipswich & NZ2) and 1 unrealistic bid in PNG. I cant seperate the top 3 and it would be a shame if any 1 bid was dismissed for the...

    Wales and France must swap groups

    Anyone else think the RLIF got these groups wrong?I mean the Welsh are talking about playing at the millenium,how are they going to draw a crowd there against the Cook Is,Lebanon and USA?If you swap Wales for France they play NZ,Samoa (who are somewhat of a bogey side for their union side) and...

    An idea for this years euro cup

    Looking at the draw for this years european nations cup i got to thinking that this would be one hell of a close competition if it was restricted to players BORN in and PLAYING in their respective countries.And i would also add in the extra carrot of a RLWC 2013 place for the winner,giving the...

    Merge the NSW & QLD cups

    I noticed another thread about a comp between NSW & QLD Cup teams which got me thinking about perhaps merging the two to form the NRL second division.Essentialy it would be a reserve grade competition but with no NRL entities.Split into 2 conferences (NSW & QLD) teams would play each other once...
