    Question re SL

    We all know how flawed the "criteria" was, but even the idea of looking at a club's bottom line at the end of just one year made no sense at all when you consider this would be a long standing decision that would affect a sport for years to come. For example, Balmain would have made the cut...

    Question re SL

    I know Illawarra were f**ked when we were classified as a "metro" team. From memory, weren't Norths upset because they weren't considered regional either?

    Let's level kids' playing field - Gould

    This is an area where the NRL / ARL / NSWRL / CRL (too many RL's) could be funding school clinics and competitions in Touch or Oztag. And not just a bit... make it a blitz! Perfect for both boys and girls to have fun and learn integral skills to the game of Rugby League. Schools in the...

    Magpies swoop to stop Roosters raid

    A very poorly run business. Almost every club relies on the yearly handout from the NRL to survive. A proper national competition would mean a better image for the game, thus more sponsorship/tv money at the top which would mean bigger amounts given to clubs. And I'm not talking about having...

    Rugby league's $58 million mess

    Bobby Steeler is also a Dragons director and Steelers Director. This man is the reason why the Illawarra region doesn't have it's own team. A milkman running a first grade national club. We ignored Super League because at the time he was busy crawling up the NSWRL/ARL ladder and put his...

    Magpies swoop to stop Roosters raid

    I would prefer to see NRL clubs be located where the juniors actually are and properly represent different parts of the state (make that country)!

    USE IT OR LOSE IT is officially dead (and other broadcast issues)

    He's weak as piss. Aside from his actions, looking at his personality and approach is a real concern for someone in charge of Rugby League. At WIN Stadium this year, after a match he came waltzing across the field from the northern stand towards where I was in the Western concourse. Standing...

    NRL Instigates ANZ $25 Super Pass

    This should be maintained for a couple of years. Crowds would at least double and then we'd develop a "go to the game" culture. I was embarrassed talking to some Victorian relatives when they were visiting and they geniunely asked what sort of crowds we get at NRL games. The NRL should be...

    Message to NRL = Bring back OUR team!!!

    Gallop should be over there talking up Perth for 2012. Just as the AFL are aggressive in their pursuit to expand into Sydney & SE QLD, NRL should announce their intent to see a WA side in by 2012. He should speak openly to the Perth media about how RL stuffed up back in the 90s and how they...

    television coverage in 1997

    I think the ARL FNF was on at 9:30pm!! Same with SL's MNF. The Saturday ARL match was on at 4pm with the SL Sunday on ABC at something weird like 5pm.

    Super 14 / NRL double headers

    And to follow on from that... The whole reason the Illawarra doesn't have a club of it's own is because of the useless people in charge who couldn't create a successful club in a league heartland with a commercial base better than many of the current NRL clubs. For league to prosper we...

    Super 14 / NRL double headers

    Is this the best the administrators can come up with? Pretty sad, no wonder the game is where it is today. And imagine if clubs are still run by the same people in the same way where we might be in 10 years?

    2008 Crowd Watch - Final Totals in Post #3778

    That applies to pretty much 90% of games this year. More afternoon games please.

    No way. Leave the numbers alone.

    NRL creates committee to look into New Markets

    That's right, "Perth Pumas" was the draft name. Hope to see the Reds back soon.

    A midweek cup - is there a place in the modern game?

    That's not too bad either!

    A midweek cup - is there a place in the modern game?

    The idea of a knockout being held during origin is perfect. It solves the issue of teams like Brisbane, Melbourne, suffering in the NRL without half their team. Play Origin three weeks in a row (which would aid it's on going promotion, rather than it being broken up spread across several...

    If you were creating a national comp from scratch, today...

    It should have happened in the 1980s.
