    ET's RL

    HI Guys, Can anyone help me out playing ETs Rugby League on WinUAE? I've got the game running okay, but I can't seem to select an option from the menu. I can move the hand cursor around with the arrow keys, but can't select an option. From memory it was the space key that chose an option...

    NRL Season Format

    Starkers you don't want Origin after the season because then you have no form guide from players that didn't play the semis, and also those that you want picked haven't played in over a month. Also its the end of the season where players are playing with niggles, fatigued, etc. SOO needs to...

    NRL Season Format

    Maybe just a Pacific Nations tournament then. The test match I watched last year I think it was Samoa and Tonga was awesome. There was so much passion, and it meant a lot to the players. A 4 team Pacific Nation tournament would mean they play each other once over 3 weeks. Samoa, Tonga, Fiji...

    NRL Season Format

    Keep hearing complaints about player burnout, season too long, etc, and it's not hard to disagree. And then at the end of the season when all the players are tired and injured, and cricket is starting, they tack on a four nations international tournament and expect us to care? I'm sure Channel...

    '12 | R26 | Sat | Dogs v Roosters at ANZ

    good stuff from the doggies. where are you ll3, we miss you!! things looking good for the finals. I'd like to see Reynolds and Morris find a bit more form though, I don't think either is going quite as good as earlier in the year, and we'll probably need all cylinders firing to go all the...

    They have to do something about the Refs

    Seriously I don't think that's an inept call at all, it's just a case of auto-pilot and habit taking over after running around for over 2 hours. What I find interesting though is what he said. "NO short kick-off, no short kickoff." What the **@* is that meant to mean? I've got $500 on the...

    They have to do something about the Refs

    Yes I am drawing a very low bow, and so is every other poster. The fact is that had Reynolds been ruled offside for the first try, then NONE of whatever happened after that would have happened. If Jackons knock back had not been ruled a knock on then NONE of what happened after that would have...

    They have to do something about the Refs

    so what does it matter if it's directly or indirectly affecting the scoreboard? Either way it directly changes how the rest of the game flows and hence the outcome of the game. The dogs might have been up by 20 if all those dodgy calls hadn't gone the tigers way and then no-one would care if...

    has someone got a link to all the scenarios related to this rule?

    Captain's challenge system

    gosh everything anyone comes up with just introduces new dilemmas doesn't it. How about we just get rid of replays altogether, so that no-one ever knows if the ref was right or wrong? if you've already used all your interchanges, what's the punishment? I kind of like what they're doing with...

    Referree whinging

    the ball was in the air over the dead ball line, it hadn't bounced over the dead ball line. Remember when full-backs were putting a foot on the dead ball line, and placing their hand on a grubber kick, about 3-5 years ago? it was a blight on the game, and they changed the rule. The ball is...

    Captain's challenge system

    i like the idea of 2 per half. The problem with 1 per game is that you're going to get, say 50/50 or 60/40 calls that are probably reasonable to challenge, but would be quite unfair to lose their only challenge on. Especially if the video ref is only used for team challenges and not called on...

    Captain's challenge system

    a possible solution: defensive challenges could possibly be flagged at the time they happen (eg a player yells out challenge). But the play goes on until the set of 6 is played out, at which time the captain can confirm or deny the challenge.

    Captain's challenge system

    I don't like the idea of a 'coach's challenge. I think it should be a player challenge, which the captain confirms or not. There is a big difference between the players challenge and the refereees calling the video into play. Instead of most tries going up to the video, there's only 2...

    who are the men that want it there and how will they exploit it?

    Referree whinging

    how about the one where the ball bounced a metre inside the dead ball line, Norman caught it before it bounced over the dead ball line. How did everyone miss this? The rule book says it's a line drop-out to the Dogs, not a 20m restart.
