    New State Cups Announce

    Looking at who is presently in the NSW and Qld cups i cannot see how they make this 32 team structure work with 2 affiliates per NRL club without some serious changes in behaviour from NRL clubs. Currently the NSWRL clubs are reluctant to send their fringe first graders beyond the borders of...

    Expansion won't happen anytime soon

    My thoughts as well. it's far to imbalanced at the moment in favour of Nsw. and yes if they don't end up with proper pathways to professionalism in the bush then it will have been a waste of time and a dishonest at one at that. I am very sceptical until I see results

    New State Cups Announce

    Honestly, the press release and related stories pose more questions than answers. I am still not 100% clear on the "new competition" as they put it. Is it simply a re-branding of the current state cups with expansion up to 16 teams over time or is it a seperate competition specifically to...

    2017 Draw

    Honestly if the fan base at large had any sense, Friday 6pm would be subject to an organised boycott. I won't even need to attempt to boycott as I just will not be able to watch it. I almost wish for very poor ratings and crowds to immediately put pressure on this crap to see an end to it...

    NYC scrapped!!

    Imo even if Fiji begin live in the NSW premiership/southern conference they should eventually move north to be with PNG. that would make the north a defecto qld/pacific conference and the south nsw/NZ. Dying for news on the 2nd tier. seems to me like it will be an interesting year as we are...

    Good news for struggling club in forgotten NRL outpost

    Really emphasises the urgent need for a 2nd and even third side in Brisbane/SEQ.

    BREAKING: RLIF awards England 2021 RLWC, Nth America recommended 2025

    At least there's some foresight and planning in this process, for North America to host the WC in 2025 as well as a tournament between world cups is a step forward albeit later than most want to seeing happen. Interesting the mention of this nations tournament between world cups, are we...

    2017 NRL Pre-Season

    As stupid as the England v Australia scheduleng which will be on at 1am local time on the east coast

    4 Nations squads

    Massively annoying that England v Australia is played on a Sunday at 2pm. that puts kick-off in Australia at 1am Monday. surely in the interest of maximising audience in the largest market a saturday lunchtime kick-off would have been better and probably even more friendly for attending. Will...

    Easts Amateur Juniors who played NRL.

    Why would they do that, can't find a motivation that I can think of? If thats the case wouldn't easts teams just play in the Sydney combined comps? Honestly the whole district football model is outdated in modern Sydney. The entire grassroots needs to be restructured and rationalised

    The Chanel 9 general Incompetence and unprofessionalism thread

    NYC scrapped!!

    How would they structure a full season Qld colts from 2018? Could we see a survival of the fittest scenario, were those that can afford to and compete on the field of the Qcup teams are fielding sides alongside the Broncos, Cowboys, Titans and Melbourne?

    Revised QRL Pathways

    By cancelling in U16 in 2017 Are they just worried about having 3 statewide teams to cover the costs for I.e 16,18 and 20's? Really difficult for Queensland as they have only 3 Nrl sides in thr state, the home grown pathways provide so few options for a young player to go from under age reps to...

    New Funding Program for Affiliated States / Territories

    500,000 per year for 6 years spread across 4 States and NT is a joke really. surprised they made a big announcement put of so little money. really Victoria needs that level of facilities funding by itself.

    West Coast Pirates Bid News

    Grant offered the NRLWA some hope, saying a Perth side would be aligned to an NRL club when the new second-tier competition started in two years. “Nothing at the NRL level, that’s the salient point. Expansion at the new level, to the truly semi-professional level, that will be the natural...

    NYC scrapped!!

    U20 is 9 weeks for 2017 only. I suspect in 2018 with the NYC is no more, their will be a full season U20 colts in parallel with the Qcup

    Revised QRL Pathways

    From what i can gather, the under 20's format in 2017 is just a bridging solution until 2018. Understandable given the vast majority of u20 talent will still be NYC aligned in 2017. You would think once 2018 rolls around they will run a full season U20 competition, the only question is will...

    West Coast Pirates Bid News

    Incredibly stupid imo. there is just no way the game can afford to not expand at the Nrl level, to stagnate is too create the perception of decline in this country. think of what the sporting landscape will look like in 6 years! AFL more than likely up to 20 teams and the a-league 12-14...

    Will NSW ever move towards a Qld-style comp?

    100% agree especially on Canberra and melbourne

    NYC scrapped!!

    Thanks. amazing that if the end is only 12 months away that we haven't had any official releases on number of teams, new sides, how.many games etc.... if Fiji, Christchurch are going to be involved then surely they need the official nod now to get things in order.
