    Can RL take over from RU in NZ?

    Including the Toyota Cup, I think there would be. The two Friday night games were always 50-50 as to whether both were on live, Saturday was always one game delayed, so Sunday is the only day we've lost a regular live game from (although I think both games have been on live once or twice this...

    Can RL take over from RU in NZ?

    I should have replied to these all in one post, but there is more league on Sky this year than ever before ... :-k

    Can RL take over from RU in NZ?

    The Warriors are played free to air on a Sky-owned channel. Why would Sky give away live or less-delayed free coverage of something people pay to watch? It is also worth noting that there are two NRL matches on Prime each week, the Warriors match and one other. Generally crowds are bigger when...

    Can RL take over from RU in NZ?

    It is obviously to get people to spend the money to upgrade to the digital platform and the sports package. The same thing happened with league in Australia, through Foxsports in 2007 (not sure of the specifics, but there was a bit of an outcry last year). There is no other reason that the NRL...

    Kiwis pick up new major sponsor

    Why is the V so low down still, it looks stupid! I thought they'd have figured that out after last year. Great news on the sponsorship, though!

    Round 3 (2008) Cougars v Ninjas

    Death of Loyalty Well, it’s been staggering around the ring for a while now. Players swapping clubs as soon as they happen upon a better offer. The loyalty to country changing depending on which team the player can get a game with. But now we’ve hit breaking point. This season the...

    Round 2 (2008) Ninjas v Titans

    Regardless of whether it is permitted or not, Mr Norris wept tears of joy tonight at the Titan's classy sportsmanship. :clap:

    Round 2 (2008) Ninjas v Titans

    State of Residence State of Origin is an antiquated notion, which has no place in the game of rugby league in 2008. Abuse me all you like, but the more I think about it, the more the above sentence makes sense. Now, I’m not one of those negative people who is going to tell you...

    Has Gasnier ever kicked for goal before this year?

    Guess it was just a try haha.

    Has Gasnier ever kicked for goal before this year?

    He won a game against Newcastle with a sideline conversion on debut, didn't he?

    Greatest conversion of all time??

    I remember Laurie Daley had one of these that was ruled in that blatantly missed in 1994 ish. It didn't affect the outcome in any way, but did affect the TAB's points start, which left a lot of angry gamblers!

    Ben Ikin Tribute Thread

    How about last year - Ikin's pick for Queensland winger? Shannon Hegarty!!! The other Sunday Footy Show panelists just looked at him in disbelief. And I think someone asked him if he was serious.

    Australia finally recognises World Cup games as tests

    So does this mean that the numbers the Australian players wear on their collars will change? They will all go up by "over 20" ... the number of Aussies who played int he world cup, but not in tests.

    Round 1 (2008) Warriors v Ninjas

    Well done to both sides, I thought it was a great quality match for the first of the season. Plus thanks for the marking Pistol.:clap:

    I'd love to see the two NZ vs Aus clashes from the 1999 Tri Nations again ...

    Keeping Count of RLWC tickets purchased

    Just got my tickets to the final, cannot wait! Will get the Sydney semi tickets later, not expecting them to go too quickly.

    Round 1 (2008) Warriors v Ninjas

    The Rugby League Devolution Do you feel it? It’s the past, baby! Coming to a Seiffert Oval near you! Well, maybe not Seiffert Oval, but you get the picture. Rugby league in 2008 is definitely getting the feeling that what is old is new again, and I couldn’t be happier. So hop...

    NRL need to organise the pre season

    They could easily pre arrange venues and times for the knocked out teams to play. The only thing they wouldn't be sure of is which sides would be playing. Most teams have played three trials this year, you're telling me that they wouldn't want to play one more if there was a pre-season comp...

    NRL need to organise the pre season

    This can't be true for all clubs. Sure, if some of them don't want to put out their best side then fair enough. But that just gives some of the lesser teams a chance of achieving something, which can't be bad!?!? How good was Souths winning the Toohey's Cup in 1994?

    2008 Season Guide
