    24th April - Perth Trans Tasman Clash

    Well im right behind you guys in getting world cup matches played there. And since i read somewhere that Perth's immigrant population is dominated by NZ and England i think it should definetly get a Kiwi's v England game plus a Australia v some small country. Unfortunately it would be stupid to...

    How to stop Union poaching players?

    I know ive posted heaps but i figured id at least give you some respect and see if your right about the current decline for the 9 Sydney teams. Sorry to say that its not on the decline its increasing - 9% on last year and 17% since 03 13,438 - 03 14,281 - 04 15,831 - 05 14,441 - 06 15,780 -...

    Who really cares about RL players going to different competitions?

    I dont really mind them going to ESL. But for the good of the game over there it doesnt help them. Its not like they are getting the best players like soccer does over there. It would be exciting if lockyer went for the fans but phil bailey, trent barrett, glenn morrison arent the best. Stacey...

    New under 20's comp in 2008

    Read through the thread if you like for more details. Toyota Cup to be a shadow of the NRL in the sense that all the teams in the Cup will be the same teams as in the NRL (just with younger players). They will play before the NRL match. This was where PL would have played their match but this...

    How to stop Union poaching players?

    Yeah totally agree with your point, but this is hypothetical. What if all teams could afford it and stay competitive what would the amount need to be?

    How to stop Union poaching players?

    I kinda agree. I think that the grant should match the cap in time. But nothing stopping them increasing the cap and grant slowly and with each increase bringing the grant closer to the cap (so that it gets closer and closer each time till in 5 - 10 years its equal). Wont happen that way...

    How to stop Union poaching players?

    Your an idiot. This is a hypothetical question. And you can stop people from going to certain codes. They are motivated to go to that code for some reason. Find out what that motivation is and remove it or provide that same motivation in the current code. League is looking ahead. Under 20's...

    How to stop Union poaching players?

    If we could offer them the same amount of money, why would they want to give union a try??! NRL is the proving ground. Its a tougher comp with harder opponents to test youself against. A week in, week out contest. Spose the only thing union has is a better international program. There is...

    How to stop Union poaching players?

    Been at work all day so im gonna reply to a few posts now. Sure they will always have money. But if league keeps growing at the rates they have then eventually we will also have money. But the point of the thread was to see what might be the right amount for the salary cap to stop Australian...

    Bulldogs supporters: Can you feel the love?

    Gun shy!!! Please, this is her hobby... bitchin and moaning about the dogs and league. The amount of times she talks about her son wanting to go to a swans match or a waratahs match is disgusting. I got news sweetheart... people that buy the Sydney paper dont care about your son! They care...

    How to stop Union poaching players?

    How much does the salary cap need to be to stop union poaching players? They already struggle to get our topline players (gaz, joey), they now go for the cheaper guys (cross, schifcofske). So would $5-$5.5m be enough to make it difficult to poach a league player? Clearly players join cause of...

    New under 20's comp in 2008

    Cmon! It provides a clear path to a career that earns more than probably their mates. You get signed by clubs early and if your good enough they dont let you go. Union would have to take a risk on kids that dont play union cause once they get into toyota cup at 17 im sure they dont learn the...

    Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame

    Absolutely!! This should be controlled by the ARL. Immortals should be choosen by a committee made up of hall of fame inductees and experienced (meaning not someone who's been around for a small amount of time) sports writers and probably a member of the ARL (only one though). These guys should...

    The NRL ad.....doesnt really work for me

    Great point. Fans arent going to stop supporting league becuase they didnt like the ad, so why focus specificly on us. The plan should be to get people interested who normally wouldnt. Females are important to, simply due to the fact that they are 50% of the population. More money from...

    Best Case Scenario for Rugby League World Cup

    Haha, yeah your right but it wont happen. Pretty positive that its gonna be a Aus v NZ final and clearly the only other team to make the final is GB. Thats why its not competitive yet. But Australia getting beat would help the international game and probably the domestic if people think we could...

    The NRL ad.....doesnt really work for me

    Its ok. The idea was to show how local the game is so that people can associate their team as part of their area. The whole thats my team (thats my team in my suburb is supposed to give a sense of tribalism and localism, that although we are a bug sporting comp we still havent forgotten about...

    Some help needed with questions

    So true. Even a website should be setup by now. For news and dates on when they will be doing things, ie, like date for applications for anyone interested in being a volunteer, date for venues to be choosen. They could have news on the qualifiers, national teams and their plans and progress to...

    New under 20's comp in 2008

    The way it seems to be going is that clubs are looking to have partnerships with smaller local clubs in a reorganised PL. Parramatta will be linked with mounties or Wentworthville i think (ill try and find the article). This way their costs dont blow out. Clubs will own the u20's team but not...

    Best Case Scenario for Rugby League World Cup

    True. Why is it that when i see a broadcast of an AFL match it goes for ages with heaps of time put into discussing the match before the bounce. Discussion about match ups and key players, etc. Whereas league just gives us the names of the starting side and thats pretty much it. Its all packed...
