[/FONT][FONT="]Love the Love, Love the Hate.[/FONT][FONT="] JoeD (655 OWC)
Focusing on the events of the Storm/Sea Eagles match of Friday week ago, the author rationalises the appeal of rugby league through its passion. A non-judgemental commentary that is sound without reaching any great heights. 85[/FONT][FONT="]
The Queensland Connection Willow (750 OWC)
An informative and well-presented contribution that explores the historic ties between some Queenslanders and the St. George Rugby League Club. One could not be blamed for thinking that this article belonged to their opposition. Good read. 88
untitled posting Rexxy (751 OWC)*
A must read for those unfortunate enough not to have seen Johnny Raper and his generation play. Particularly apt as he played for both Newtown and the Dragons. 85 (87-2 word count error)
No Frills Rugby League Red Bear (714 OWC)
A nose-thumbing effort, pointedly supporting the sport for sports sake lobby while pooh-poohing the contemporary penchant for the three Ps. No argument here. 88
Its a Great Axe Cliffhanger (655 OWC)
The internal debate rages in this article where the modern-day supporters loyalties are considered against the mercenary nature of the professional rugby league player. Thought provoking. 86

Friday Night Fights Brawl at Brookie Fight Night black Eye for Code _Johnsy (749 OWC)
A narrative piece that spotlights the controversial incidents in the Manly/Melbourne blockbuster of the previous week. The author suggests that the penalty handed out to Brett Stewart wasnt indicative of the seriousness of the deed
hard to argue with that. 85
Wicked game Muzby (750 OWC)
A novel concept set in Kansas, Australia. Creative and well thought through fantasy with the exception of Beaus home which is soon to be north of the border. Really enjoyed it, thanks. 91
Coconut football Drew-Sta (733 OWC)
Ouch
a window into the park rugby league culture in the island Kingdom of Tonga. Kids will be kids and the lack of a footie never stopped anybody from throwing it around. 87
