    The Game 2024 Draw - venues, home game allocations etc

    Tally of matches each team has where their opponent had the bye the week prior. Bulldogs 6 (3 times in a row between rnds 11, 12, 13) (1 of which also had bye the week prior) Cowboys 6 (2 of which also had bye the week prior) (every game they play between rounds 14 - 21 is against teams coming...

    2024 Preseason and Draw discussion thread

    Round 15 v Roosters, who come off the bye. Round 17 v Knights, who come off the bye. So do we. Round 18 v Souths, who come off the bye. Round 24 v Roosters, who come off the bye. Round 25 v Broncos, who come off the bye. Round 27 v Tigers, who come off the bye. Didn't we raise this issue...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Just bring back the 4Nations already. Australia, NZ, England and a regional qualifier. There's European exposure, the Pacific Championships can be played every year still. Theres still room for 'bowl' tournaments involving nations that aren't playing in the 4Nations. Honestly, it just worked.

    2023 - Oceania Tri-Nations (Pacific Championship)

    NZ were excellent. Won solely because of their efforts. Just outclassed Australia in every aspect. Excellent coaching.

    2023 - Oceania Tri-Nations (Pacific Championship)

    Shocking crowd. NRL deserve every criticism under the sun for the failures of this tournament.

    England v Tonga Test Series 2023

    Honestly, I know crowds for Australia aren't crash hot, but England are shocking when it comes to drawing crowds. England vs Tonga in St Helens, which is a half an hour drive between two of the most populous (over 15 million people live in Northern England) cities in the UK, gets a crowd of...

    You're such a hypocritical merkin.

    2023 - Oceania Tri-Nations (Pacific Championship)

    I agree, but the answer is simple. Money. Tonga and Samoa are more marketable than Fiji at the moment. They're trending.

    Wasn't there a rumour going years ago that players did that to trick drug tests?

    2023 - Oceania Tri-Nations (Pacific Championship)

    The issue with that is is that the 4Nations was owned by the ARLC, NZRL, and RFL. There's no way that any of them are going to fund a tournament where their team don't directly participate. I personally don't see it as an issue, rather it exposes the real issue with international rugby league...

    2023 - Oceania Tri-Nations (Pacific Championship)

    It just makes too much sense. It works commercially, it exposes smaller nations to class opposition and every year is a fresh feel with the new team added to the tournament. The only thing about it that would bite us is if the qualified team doesn't come last. Say, Samoa beat England and...

    18th club, whose next?

    I'd love there to be conferences, but there's no point for it in the NRL yet. It would be fine for the purposes of the draw, but that's it. So long as the season is long enough that each team can play each other at least once, conferences should have no bearing on finals.

    England v Tonga Test Series 2023

    Shame. By my reading, he carried the injury into the grand final. Surprised that he couldn't carry the injury into a test series..

    2023 - Oceania Tri-Nations (Pacific Championship)

    I posted a few days ago about my proposed international calendar. I've changed my mind. 4Nations every year (except world cup years) with a qualifier depending on the hosting region. Like we did for a few years. Honestly, how do we f**k ourselves so much so often.

    2023 - Oceania Tri-Nations (Pacific Championship)

    So, after the first weekend of these "Championships", it's clear that the interest for the matches from fans and networks is waning. Fox Sports, to their credit, have tried to promote it and push it (because they need content), but the commentators have just struggled. The disappointing...

    Reflections on WC and the future

    That's more convoluted than the original suggest that you quoted.
