    18th club, whose next?

    Fiji would more than match PNG in terms of being both a nursery For developing talent and a strategic political partner for Australia. In fact, the Chinese have made more political moves on Fiji than they have on PNG so pouring money into PNG bid rather than one from Fiji makes less sense. The...

    2024 R24 Fri - Sydney 38-14 Parramatta @ Allianz

    Was always going to be tough for the Eels to get up after last week’s effort, and the conditions are gonna make it tougher to get motivated. Could be a big score tonight despite the slow track.

    2024 R24 Fri - Sydney 38-14 Parramatta @ Allianz

    Leniu Starting to finally pay dividends for the Chooks? He had a good Origin campaign but he’s hardly been the powerhouse the Roosters expected they had signed,

    2024 R24 Fri - Sydney 38-14 Parramatta @ Allianz

    This is going to be brutal tonight. Haven’t seen this much water on a field for quite a while. There was a game up in Newcastle earlier in the year but this seems worse.

    NRL Hall of Fame 2024 + 14th Immortal

    Yes, you’re right there. And I suppose people are certainly taking notice. As they Say ‘controversy sells’……..or something like that.

    Match Discussion: Round 24 vs Cronulla @ PointsBet Stadium, Woolooware / Dharawal

    Interesting matchup with Blake Brailey in the halves for the Sharks. Knights would be mad not to be targeting him. Marzhew hates that high ball to his corner, but I don’t think the Sharks will be giving Sharpe much ball on the other wing. Even though it’s at Shark Park and the fish are on a...

    NRL Hall of Fame 2024 + 14th Immortal

    Well it’s all blowing up on the NRL with Brohman asking why Les Boyd got a gig. I must say I’m inclined to agree with him. I remember that Origin game like it was yesterday. If anybody did that in today’s game they’d be gone for life and probably sued for everything they’ve got. I hate awards...

    NRL Hall of Fame 2024 + 14th Immortal

    Some interesting choices here for the Hall of Fame, Surely there are other Kiwi Internationals with solid ARL/NRL credentials who deserve to be named before Marshall?

    The Case for Adelaide.....

    Well the game is as popular as ever in most states, including SA. Australia still has the problem of having the most professional sports teams per capita than anywhere else in the world. Some consideration needs to be given to what happens when dollars dry up, because across all sports it’s...

    Melbourne Game Thursday 15 August at 7.50 pm

    Unfortunately the draw is set long before the game arrives. I’m not sure it’ll live up to expectations as an early final, but the game is the battle for top of the ladder and could possibly decide the Minor Premiership. Good luck to the fans who can attend, but Panther’s 5/8 Luai might have to...

    Over The Black Dot

    Reviving an old thread, but ‘Over the Black Dot’ on NITV is a pretty concise wrap up of games with discussion about the next round. It certainly brightens up an otherwise dull Tuesday night, and sometimes they follow it up with a replay of a Superleague game from the weekend.

    Is Latrell Mitchell overrated?

    Is there anyone grubbier than a ‘friend’ who takes photos of someone perhaps not in one of their finest moments, and then releases it publicly? Out and out grubs. Just like the media that feeds off them.

    The shit list and more.

    I’ve been following league for 5 decades and I know this one thing to be true throughout all of those years: Nobody, absolutely nobody hates Parramatta more than their own fans.

    Gould the Master Spin Doctor

    Well I’m gonna be listening to see how he builds speculation around Bullodogs finals rivals. They’ve got Dolphins and Se Eagles in the next few weeks, so what’s the bet he’ll be trying to stitch up those sides by manufacturing some doubts about their play.

    2024 R23 Thu - South Sydney 16-28 Melbourne @ Accor

    Yeah, that was also a bad week to start.

    2024 R23 Thu - South Sydney 16-28 Melbourne @ Accor

    Feeling bad for young Myers’s on the wing. Nobody wants to be handed their debut in a game like this.

    Gould the Master Spin Doctor

    How does Phil Gould get a job commentating when he clearly has so many conflicts of interest? I‘m not a Storm fan by any Means, but Gould has spent 10 minutes trying to convince the audience that the ladder leading Storm ‘are out of sync’. Talk about mind games, but it is totally...

    Most Annoying TV Commercials

    Those Olympics ads are starting to wear thin. There‘s one about a Paralympics swimmer, where the townsfolk get together and sort out a swimming lane for him in some farmers dam. I get so outraged. I mean, all the money into disability awareness and Paralympics and the poor disabled bugger has to...

    Next coach sacked 2024

    He was on the verge of being sacked last year until their run to finals saved him. They’ve really underperformed this year. Their squad is solid but they‘re playing really poorly, and now they‘re talking again about signing more new players.
