    Rabittohs future looking shaky

    Seeing you're from a marketing background, that sort of marketing also only generally works in competitive markets where products are not known to the purchaser. For example it may work very well for a new brand of shampoo, it may not work very well for a football club as most people already...

    2009 Ladder... have a go

    Forgot about the Broncos :D Raiders to drop out of the bottom half of the 8, and they'll fit in there somewhere. It'll be interesting to see how Henjak goes as a tactician.

    2009 Ladder... have a go

    1. Manly - Team's changed little, enough said 2. Storm - No real changes except for Folau 3. Warriors - Got a halves combo that will work, and strong depth 4. Dragons - Got a strong forward pack with a quick backline), and one of the best coaches in the game 5. Sharks - Boring side, but know how...

    Rabittohs future looking shaky

    An email to members, about trying to get memberships. Genius marketing. Try and sell the product, only to those who have already purchased it. :sarcasm: I think the grandstanding has more to do with the way he presented it, instead of what was said. Such as "[don't worry our generous sponsors...

    Innovative or just plain crazy - ESL's new top-8 play-off format

    I like it, but it should be in the first round IMO. Top 4 sides in the 8 get to choose their opponent from the bottom 4. How often do you see a team just strike some form at the end of the season, scrape into the 8 then do some real damage to the top 4. Reward the teams who have been...

    More NRL player crimes - Seteimata Sa

    Defending a mate when fronted by 8 blokes trying to start a fight after stealing some cash from SKD. Clearly the guy is scum, throw him in jail for life. It was never swept under the rug, it was well publicised at the time. And heaven forbid a club supports their players in a situation...

    Dragons player glassed

    I don't need to "make assumptions". He lied to police about being present at the time of the incident. People who have nothing to hide, do not lie about such things. As for her fractured eye socket, now you're the one making assumptions, her injuries were well publicised. Bird has a long...

    Dragons player glassed

    You're right. But while we're at it, you can look into the stats as to how many domestic violence incidents go unreported or fall over in court through lack of evidence, quite often due to the fear of the victim. With or without a result in court, there are only so many ways you can get a...

    Dragons player glassed

    How low? As low as glassing a woman? Or lower?

    Mickey Paea signs 1 yr deal

    He could play both. But he's better running a bit wider, not sure his defence is tough enough for a regular middle of the park spot either. He certainly has the build and leg drive for a front rower though.

    Mickey Paea signs 1 yr deal

    Mickey has killed it for the Jets this year, been pretty solid in firsts as well. Spewing we've lost him, it was at about this age, Lopini stepped up as well. People forget that Mickey is 2 years younger, mainly because he was so much more damaging than Lopini before he hit his straps. The...

    Is Pearce the next Finch/Kimmorley?

    Pearce was a turnstile last year as well. It happens with most smaller halves in this competition. Same with Soward while he was with us, everyone was having a go at his defence, now he is pretty capable. It'll be the same with Sandow. Pearce is a solid first grader, people were raving over...

    High Definition Coverage

    Just because they're on a HD channel it doesn't necessarily mean that they are filmed in full HD. Some shows have incredible definition, others meh. Best real comparison you could get is find someone with Blu Ray and compare that to a regular dvd. The gap is massive.

    Dally M player of the year 2008 - clear as mud

    Could you imagine them trying to go through EVERY round and saying who scored what. The show would go for 10 hours. It's tedious enough as it is. I like the current format, because sometimes you get some real bolters at the end of the year that become surprise packets and win it.

    Dally M player of the year 2008 - clear as mud

    Orford would have had a real dry spell up until 2 or 3 weeks ago... Slater has also lost 3 points due to suspension.... This year it will be alot closer than previous years and a "superstar" may not get it IMO. Orford, Campese, Soward, Smith, Mateo, Gidley, Kimmorely Flip a coin, based on...

    Titans: Failures?

    Last year they performed admirably for their first year in the comp. The key issue any new club faces in it's first 5 years in the competition is depth. Titans have suffered terribly from injuries, and haven't had years and years to stock up the lower grades for depth. They've been pretty...

    Form halves and pivots of the NRL

    Pivots: Campese, Lockyer, Soward Halfbacks: Prince, Cronk, Kimmorely, and Orford on a good day. Best two at the moment would be Campese and Prince by a mile.

    Just Listed

    Could have been a player from another club signing in another state? It's no real big news to me that SBW is selling his house. The NRL cannot seize his assets, and he's left the country. It was inevitable it was up for sale. In any case, it's a damn nice house, I wouldn't mind owning that...

    Just Listed

    I know that, but it's pointless saying a house is for sale, without naming the owner.

    Rugby League week: Player Ratings

    I've seen some weeks a player get a 9. Get player of the round in the smh blog. Then miss out on the team of the week. I don't know why the SMH bother with it, they never seem to do a consistent job of it.
