    i dont understand why is t smith not on the team ???

    ummm if you have seen him in the Q Cup you would know why... he is playing quite average. His kicking game is inconsitent at best and whlie he can still put a player through a gap he is not the former NRL rookie of the year.

    OPSM ad on the NRL website

    Robert Finch sent an email around to all the refs yesterday with the scanned image from the same ad which was printed in the Tele... he does have a sense of humour it appears.

    Sons of guns forced to pack their bags

    bullsh*t QLD Cup produced more than 50 players for the NRL last year. The Toyota Cup send many players away from club contracts yes, but most of them were facing the scrap heap within the next year or two anyway. Basically the clubs are investing more in youth then veterens now. Well...

    most wanted union players

    that is rubbish... Wilkinson is a good defender, who does put in work. But he can't put a bloke into a hole to save his life. Did you watch that last 20 mins of England desperately attacking but having absoloutely nothing... Wilkinson has no pace or agility to attack the line and so he rarely...

    With Union becoming a dismal borefest.....

    it's not a tiny sport... you have never been to Auckland have you. Sure in the more rural areas of the south its a minor sport, but it even has a decent presence in Christchurch. League is not nearly as popular as union in the South Island. But in the north and especially Auckland, which does...

    NFL Target Dave Taylor

    well I think you would find his league backgroudn would give added benefits, that a college doesn't have but apart from that you are exactly right. I'm trying Samoan are cracking it here and over there.. its not like they discovered a secret batch of Samoans design especially for the NFL, they...

    NFL Target Dave Taylor

    yeah look its unlikely that unless a boom NRL player gets into a college... say Israel goes over after his year of NRL - that it would happen. But honestly, you don't think Taylor could easily put on 30 kilos.. I reckon he would jump at the chance. Rugby league athletes are some of the best...

    Best Pub in Brisbane to watch the Footy??

    WHAT pubs in the city don't prefer league over everything else? The Vic, the Casino or one of the many Irish pubs in the city is prob the best option. Why would you want to go to the suburbs if you are a tourist?? In the city perhaps Pig and Whistle is the only joint which doesn't show...

    Sam Thaiday linebacker offer

    My point was, here people talk about american athletes in these revered tones as if no Australian could ever be as strong an athelete. Yet, there is plenty of evidence of Australians mixing it in american sports at a professional level. Mills is arguably one of the top point guards in...

    Lote Tuqiri calls for Wallabies-Kangaroos clash

    If you call offloading mid tackle, being tackled and then passing the ball off the ground - then sure that does occur and sure thewre are skill full passes in union but they are rare. The allblacks contain 90 per cent of them. I played union and have enjoyed watching union for the past ten...

    Sam Thaiday linebacker offer

    There would be several rugby league players who have the athleticism to play NFL in various positions. This country barely plays basketball, yet several players have played NBA. Patty Mills is one of the leading college players and will be an NBA star and he is the build of an Amos Roberts...

    Lote Tuqiri calls for Wallabies-Kangaroos clash

    Union forwards rarely display ball skills before the line. They rarely jink, draw defneders and put an inside man away. They rarely off load the mid tackle. Their passing skills are limited at best. BRad Thorn during his second stint in rugby league played i think one or two state of...

    Lote Tuqiri calls for Wallabies-Kangaroos clash

    you missed the tone in my words... i meant to say. there are some league forward who don't pass much, such as Dallas Johnson, but unlike rugby union there are many league forwards such roy asotasi, greg bird etc who thrive from passing before, through and after the line.

    Lote Tuqiri calls for Wallabies-Kangaroos clash

    That is a rediculous statement.. League forwards require a lot more ball skills. Sure there are skills union forwards require which leaguies never even think about, such as scrums, line out and mauling. But ball skills? No. league forwards have infinate more ability. There are forwards in...
