    And Milford. Less likely, but hopeful...Roger T-S.

    Fears 2025 RLWC USA may not happen

    Personally, I think so. Nth America (USA and Canada) is pretty similar in the sense of the general public not knowing the difference between League and Union, so I reckon the ability to get in early and ideally get a groundswell of momentum is massive. Obviously, very similar to what Toronto has...

    SBW and Toronto

    not so sure on why they'd go after those other names...Ben Teo is hardly a big name. I think theyd be better off throwing money at Cronk or Smith. SBW puts the bums on seats and gets the press. Cronk or Smith wins them the games.

    Northern World League

    I would hope the plan is that in 10 years time, we could have these 3 or 4 Nth American teams pull out and start their own Nth American Pro-league, and bring in a few fresh clubs to make it a 6-8 team comp to start with. having a few pre-formed big teams and creating a footprint for new teams...

    Tongan players threatening boycott

    Tongan players threatening boycott

    I wanted to go to a Tongan website and see how big this news was over there...pleasantly surprised by the headlines and article. I dont think we can underestimate the ripple effect that this sort of result can have. This is the sort of result that can really push RL to take RU on in Tonga...

    Tier 1B Series

    Definitely think Tonga v Samoa needs to play 3 games every year at Origin time. Id play 1 game in Aus (alternate between Syd/Bris), 1 game in NZ (alternate cities) and 1 game in either Tonga/Samoa. I think its important to take it to their countries and grow it, and playing a game in each of...

    GB Lions Tour on sale today + Eden Park schedule confirmed

    I reckon the big Tonga victory will play more of a part than All-Blacks losing. We may get a few more NZ fans, but I reckon this win for Tonga will help most fans to forget about the internal drama and get on the bandwagon. If only they can bring 50,000 to ensure a good crowd :)

    The player pool depth debate

    I've always thought there could be some salary cap exemption ($400k eg.) for players who haven't played juniors/grade rugby league in QLD, NSW or NZ. That would allow teams to look at other areas of Australia, or worldwide, or look at union players. They could use this in several smaller...

    Gold Coast Bears/Nth Sydney/Gosford

    yeah, not a fan either. I dont think we need to follow the AFL footprint of 2 teams per city. There is only a few big cities worldwide in global leagues that can command 2 big teams. Its the same as talk about adding another Melbourne team IMO.

    2018-2022 Media Deal $ Value

    a absolutely agree! As someone in an expansion market (Adelaide), Im sick of the years of underwhelming coverage. In a market where we get enough negative press from the AFL cronies, it kills me to turn on ch 9 coverage and get more negativity from Gould, etc about the state of the game...

    Expansion Team Names

    bumping my own post for Adelaide ideas. My thoughts about staying away from Rams colours/logos remains the same. Im more convinced of having something a bit different but totally Aussie. Still love the idea of the Southern Lighthorsemen. Imagine having an ANZAC game at a packed out Adelaide...

    World 9s 2019

    I'll bet you one American penny that David Fifita is the player of the tournament. Other smokeys to stand out for their team...maybe Regan Grace for Wales or Olam/Lam for PNG, Milf for Samoa. I can't wait for this tournament to start! I reckon the Aussies will obviously be the team to beat...

    Tina Turner

    who else saw the awesome teaser trailer at half time of the State Champs GF? It must be they've locked her in for next year, or the song at least... Has this been officially announced anywhere else? edit: I found a foxsportsreport from earlier this month with reports that 'talks' were...

    using figures from tvtonight makes interesting reading. https://tvtonight.com.au/2019/09/saturday-28-september-2019.html SYD RATINGS: 399k in Sydney watched the Roosters PF 372k watched GWS in GF. Pretty low rating for the GF, especially with the you-beaut Giants playing :) More watched the...

    Video: RLWC organisers visit Jamaica

    I agree. this is so great, yet so easy to achieve...Compliments to the organisers who have so far shown great desire to build the brand...as opposed to Australia's effort last WC.
