    Ex-rugby league boss jailed for fraud

    I'm confident that there are other administrators out there who have done dodgy pokie funding deals and backhanders. I see last week that the Mt Albert Lions get $80k from two pokie funding sources. I'm sure that many clubs out there would be greatly appreciative of just $1000 to spend on sets...

    15 apply for Kiwi coaching Job

    Yeah, what's up with that? That's a bit like someone from Ngati Toa who is living in the South Island for three years wanting to play for Ngai Tahu.:oops: Oh, and encouraging his new team mates to do Ka mate before the kick off.

    Kemble Leuleuai Prescott Perenara Lomax Mann Bergman Clark Norton Ackland Martin Kemp Horo Stokes Panapa Wilson Cleary Okay, so half maybe out in the leftfield, but from early 2000 these guys have been through the "pathways" except Horo and Cleary. Others that have been through the pathways...

    OT Piri Weepu

    The whole friggin team was playing like sh*t. Spent most of the time switching channels between them and the panthers v dragons before watching the 2nd half of league game to the end. One try in 80 minutes!!! What a boring game of force back and goal kicking. It's about time some of these...

    So Who Are The Candidates For The Kiwi Coaches Job

    I think there will be an exodus of loyal supporters if he gets the job. Anyone can teach a team one off the ruck plays.:sarcasm:

    OT Piri Weepu

    I'd rather have Nonu before Weepu. We seem to lack good centres and I'm not sure Weepu would instantaneously be a great playmaker.

    So Who Are The Candidates For The Kiwi Coaches Job

    Yes, by lobbying the local club, district, province etc. Or a more direct approach by positioning yourselves in executive positions at those levels.

    Craig Stanaway - Ace Reporter

    Are we talking about the turnaround that is happening now or one that's about to occur in the future. Because I'm hearing disquiet among the periphery of NZRL. Either these stalwarts are not accepting change as some of us often do at times or a querying the escalating legal costs that have...

    Craig Stanaway - Ace Reporter

    That's what a mate of mine told me until I saw the interview. Then I basically put it into perspective by challenging my mate's abilities with comparison to someone else. He didn't like it and I'm sure Wade didn't either. One news is outdated or more often than not the most watched news...

    So Who Are The Candidates For The Kiwi Coaches Job

    After the Orcas getting thrashed today, hopefully not Bergman. Knows how to talk himself up, his team of young guns (some of which they are), but unfortunately Bergman's "building for the future" line won't cut it especially when the Kiwis require wins at no expense particularly for the future...

    Vuna released

    I rate his younger brother George being a better all round player.

    NZ State of Origin

    World Cup - even better, although it's not really a WORLD cup. You've gotta give credit when credit is due. Please tell me what you don't like about the latest objectives that have been recently released. But beforehand, compare them with what was done over the past three or four years...

    NZ State of Origin

    To all you detractors, stop looking through the telescope from the other end. The bigger picture is promoting the profile of rugby league and we all know it could do with some lifting. There's gonna be no rugby world cup next year, no yachting, no soccer world cup etc etc. What a great time...

    I thought his fat head would at least slow them down.:D

    Bluey gorrrnnn ????

    I'm gonna put some faith into the NZRL as I see it. Chalmers is an accomplished businessman with business smarts. The board has been established with people of reputable business acumen and references. Bluey was the national football director and nothing was achieved as far as I'm aware...

    If that was the case, he would still be here doing it for love with pride.:crazy:

    Bluey gorrrnnn ????

    Great debate. Two camps, NZRL vs Bluey. When Bluey was appointed Kiwis coach did he not also have director of football role as well. The goal posts have indeed shifted for Bluey as he now has a new chairman to deal with (Chalmers), new national director of football (Lowe), new high...

    Deaker on Sport

    Did Bluey not ask whether he could coach Leeds and the Kiwis at the same time and Chalmers said yes, but later said that he could not? We do not know whether Bluey at this stage had made his mind up to go to Leeds. We do not know whether Bluey wants to have both cakes and to eat them both. I...

    Deaker on Sport

    *Check the NZRL website. It has the latest newsletter and 2006 annual report. *I thought Bluey's job was to monitor overseas player's via games tapes and trips overseas to assess them. *What's the point of appointing selector's if they can't relay information about overseas based players...
