    Ryan Matterson possibly on the way out?

    Here he was, chosen for the Blues Origin squad this year, which would give a player a huge boost in confidence that he's a good chance for next years side, to then be on the outer next year due to his lack of loyalty to his club & acting like a spoiled child. [Onya Freddy] Players usually...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Well that is heartening to hear. Let's hope that they keep up the effort. As for NZ rugby, I was just using it as an example. Rugby is their national sport where kids start playing at a very young age, which is why they, generally speaking, understand the game so well [Especially compared to...

    Hold the women’s competition in summer

    Unprovoked insults from an admin no less. Great example that you set for the rest of us champ. And thanks for leading me to waste 30 minutes trying to find stats on the nrlw that barely exist. According to the Easts website, Ruan Sims played for 28 minutes in her last game against St. George...

    RIP NRL

    What's that got to do with the price of fish in China on a sunny morning? I barrack for two teams; Tigers & any Sydney club playing against a non-Sydney team. [Yes, even when it's Manly, lol] Until that abysmal bit of refereeing, I was barracking for Easts against the Raiders. I'd much...

    Ryan Matterson possibly on the way out?

    Interesting. [From the 'speed-bump' no less, lol] The vid with Farah commenting on the Matterson saga is also worth a listen.

    Ryan Matterson possibly on the way out?

    Both Moylan & Dugan are overrated IMO. Both are inconsistent & injury prone. [Not to mention that Dugan likes to lay on the ground wincing while grabbing a body part after being tackled.] I'd want to see the back of them also were I a Sharks fan.

    The girls basic skill levels was much better than I expected.

    Hold the women’s competition in summer

    You don't think what exactly? The womens game that I watched they played 30 minutes per half. Ruan Sims only played for around ten minutes per half. What is so hard to understand? And I'm not the full quid? Duh ok then, lol.

    It's not all about the money. Resources include time spent on juniors. NZ has such a small population yet has consistently had strong representative rugby teams. This is because of the high participation rate at the grass root level. The AFL has growth at the grass root level thanks to the...

    Hold the women’s competition in summer

    The last womens game that I watched they played 60 minutes. Splitting that into 4 quarters would work if all of their forwards could play more than 10 minutes a half. In her last game, Ruan Sims barely made that. [And no to whoever suggested that they play in bikinis. Although that would be a...

    Hold the women’s competition in summer

    Well I guess that would be one way of ensuring that there'd be some actual spectators.

    News Sam Burgess court cases, breach notices

    In the past I considered him a bit of a cheeky character. He's a very good player. But, listening to him whining that getting into strife for pulling an opponents hair, defending his need to play dirty as 'part of the game', really changed my opinion of the bloke.

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    New Zealand Rugby Union is an excellent example of the benefits from ensuring support at the grassroots level. Kiwi rugby players understand the game as well, if not better, than most. It's why they're so successful. Watching the Aussie boys in the World Cup shows that we could take a leaf...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Generally speaking I agree ... but, who didn't enjoy watching the Chief take care of that thug Bella in State of Origin? lol Would have loved to see Gallen get into it with that grub Nate Myles, who was deliberately twisting NSW players legs to cause injury. Myles deserved more than a punch in...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Diluting the talent in each team is "growing"? Huh. Losing the system that we had with reserve grade & the under 21's was a huge step backwards IMO. All thanks to that greedy old a-hole Murdoch. Growth for growths sake is not the answer. Strengthening existing clubs & focusing more resources...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Why anyone wants to expand the NRL is beyond my comprehension. [Sorry Perth Red] We already have too many teams. The fact that teams don't face each other twice in one season is a joke IMO [And don't get me started on teams playing each other twice within a month] Another club would simply...

    News Sam Burgess court cases, breach notices

    Yeah I know [#hangs head#] Call me jaded from experience. It's a sad indictment of too many girls whose aim in life is to be a single mother. I've heard more than a few over the years say "No man is going to tell me how to raise my kids." I've also known more than a few blokes whose missus...

    Most boring/mundane NRL player sightings

    Around the mid 80's I ran into Kevies best mate, Benny Elias in the Bourbon & Beefsteak downstairs bar. As I was on a bender, I excused myself saying I didn't want to be a pest after speaking my mind about that years SoO [IIRC, it was the year that Benny had been left out of Origin I which we...

    Most boring/mundane NRL player sightings

    Around 1990 I saw Les Boyd entering Manly Leagues club. I was a bit surprised that he was so short [And thighs like telegraph poles] He returned my smile with a snarl ...... lovely bloke, lol.
