    NRMA? What about RACQ?

    I always though that the RACQ was the NRMA's 'sister' company in QLD. Either I'm wrong, something's changed, or the Broncos are sponsored by the RACQ's NSW sister?

    Reverse what constitutes a dominant tackle?

    There's been a lot of talk about the high injury toll this season, and whether 'gang' tackles and wrestling techniques have anything to do with it. It's been mentioned before, but Benji just said on the Footy Show that players are taught to tackle over the ball to prevent off-loads, and that...

    New NRL based web series

    What about a 'Footy Jersey Friday' episode? The leaguies could be passing a soft football around the office, and the Vic import comes along with his AFL singlet (no shirt underneath) and tries to intercept the ball, only to fumble it along the ground AFL style. The leaguies watch on unimpressed...

    New NRL based web series

    'Bukkake' comment might not sit well with some though, particularly the female audience

    New NRL based web series

    That's pretty cool. Is it just your group of friends? Or are they real actors?

    Dean Young and Robbie Farrah exchange?

    This article was published at 10:04 tonight. I didn't notice any exchange between these two. Maybe I was out of the room at the time, but I definitely didn't see or hear any of what is reported here. http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sport/hooker-exchange-mars-nrl-final-20100925-15rrw.html

    David Boyle - newspaper artical in Canberra Times?

    Most of you would remember David Boyle who played centre outside of Ricky Stuart and Laury Daley through the nineties? Well he had a farm accident on Thursday and has been in an induced coma in hospital since then. He's slowly showing signs of improvement, but it's still up in the air as to...

    WTF has Wallace got to do with Pakistan cricket cheats?

    It would be an automated mechanism that sees sport and gambling in the same articles and links them together as being related. The algorithm involved obviously doesn't detect context too well

    It's the wrong shape for a start.

    Who's afraid of the AFL, asks Titans boss Michael Searle

    Ask sponsors whether they'd prefer 30k bums on seats or 400k watching on TV. It's TV exposure that drives sponsorship dollars, and obviously revenue from TV

    Who's afraid of the AFL, asks Titans boss Michael Searle

    In terms of crowd attendance, they're probably close to Brisbane, but in terms of support, miles away. TV ratings in Brisbane are testament to this.

    AFL in $45 million money grab

    There is a world-class oval shaped stadium 500m from the showground. Before this new stadium in Melbourne, there was nothing that even remotely resembled a world class rectangular stadium. Three codes of football will use the purpose built rectangular stadium. A new oval shaped stadium next...

    The TV rights thread

    NRL has a longer playing season, and has 3 State of Origin matches which each get about 3 to 4 million viewers, plus internationals. It's already been stated that the AFL's pay TV contract was based on potential new subscribers, and was being subsidised by the NRL viewers through additional...

    Rugby 7s, pre-season comp and future NRL revenue

    Hypothetically speaking, if a league side won the 7's comp (as we've seen in at the school boy level in Brisbane), but none of their players were eligible to represent Australia at the Olympics, it would be pretty humiliating for RU and the players that got selected.

    Playing for ZERO points?

    Of course they are. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't also be a hollow victory if the minor premiers this year were lapped by the Storm in wins vs losses. I don't see how it's unfair to have a side that is under the salary cap competing in the competition providing those responsible for the...

    Playing for ZERO points?

    Stripping the premierships and minor premierships, forcing the club to pay back prize money, $500k fine, and lost sponsorships punishes the club. Not allowing them to accrue points this year punishes everyone else because it duds the Storm fans. It duds the teams that they have to play. It may...

    CRL - Ladies Oz League (oz-tag)

    The CRL are encouraging groups to get a female oz-league competition up and running to be played in conjunction with the men's league. However, information is pretty scant. We understand that there's a $100 pack that provides all of the equipment, but I can't find any information in terms of...

    NRL and AFL go head to head in Sydney's west on Saturday night

    I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of them required the use of a Sat Nav to find the western suburbs. Swans supporters were always going to turn up to a Swans game
