    Origin TV ratings

    I know its late, but I would have thought, given the hype, that sort of rating is pretty ordinary. 90,000! Daytime tele gets better.

    Rep weekend - do you want it back?

    If the Kiwis scrap the mid season test, the NZRl will have to scrap the National Provincial Championship, the National Schools Championship, the NZ Residents tours etc etc. People, this is how the NZRL makes money to run the local game. NZRL does not ahve the NRL television deal to pump...

    Rep weekend - do you want it back?

    Well maybe you i.e. Oz doesn't need it, but the NZRL does need it. They need the Test matches to get revenue to run the game in NZ. I've already made the point on another forum, so won't repeat it here. The longer I'm away from Oz, the more I think everyone has become South Sea Sepos. Very...

    4 nations 4th team

    It just lacks vision, that the NRL concentrates all it's resources on hyping the SOO beyond what any reasonable person would see as sensible, and ignoring to ENORMOUS potential of the pacific islands. In any short term period, Oz will win any series. But if there is a onging, financially...

    NZ vs Aus Tes

    The difference was the kicking game of the halves. Pure and simple. Whereas Thurston and Cronk got repeated sets, SJ just could not get a repeat set. Isaac John wasn't up to it and it really showed. Both his kicking, his attack and defence. If SJ had have forced a couple of repeat sets then...

    Kearney/NZ have ruined the Test Match

    What I consistently fail to see appreciated by anybody on these forums, is the fact that NZ needs the Anzac test and the series at the end of the year. The NZRL is NOT raking in millions from the NRL deal. It gets virtually nothing. There is a rumour that they are demanding a bit of the pie...

    Team Vs. Storm

    TL and Tomkins were starting to get their combo going. That offered an attacking option. OUT Matalino on the edge, offered an attacking option. OUT Konrad may be a defensive liability, but he was an attaking option. OUT Nielson is a defensive player and he offers nothing on attack. IN My...

    Benji Marshall is coming back to the NRL.

    For me, I think Benji Marshall was a great footballer in his day. He lost his pace and he lost his mojo. There might be a bit in it, about him not putting in for the new coach. To me, he comes across also, as a really good bloke. I think the nobodies and neverweres on here, bagging off Benji...

    WOW oh WOW Our Club is a shambles

    The whole thing is unbelievable. Absolutely disheartening. The Yawion crowd just love this. They must be laughing their heads off. I am approaching the point where I'd rather do something else than watch a team going through the motions. They caused it all by playing so crap. I'm sure...

    Benji the Warrior

    Started reading, thinkin' what is this rubbish., can't believe this...then realised it was.

    Wellington SHOULD be the next NRL team.

    Arrr, the restriction is on concerts, not footy games. Lights are a non issue.

    Team v Tigers

    What about Nielson cramping up? Arn't these blokes supposed to be fit? He offers ZERO in attack. Will he ever give the ball to Manu...ever? Fatty Feleti is still appearing to go the miles, but "Hands-on-knees Hurrell" is good for 10 minutes and a try. But they all look far less fit than they...

    vs Cowboys

    I particularly noted the Townsend giving Friend a serve. I liked that and thought it was a good sign. Friend 30+, Townsend early twenties, but a half controlling the players and telling them what he expects. Mind you, two Aussies having a go at each other and being fairly direct and to the...

    3-2-1 vs Dragons

    The wooden spoon is on the way to the engravers already. Who cares who the best player is in the worst team in the comp.

    Team v St Merge

    I have been trying to work out why they were so bad last week on the flanks. What I did notice was the wingers charging in. The Fish a couple of times and Manu at least once. That left overlaps and easy stroll through. I can't recall whether the wingers charging in was because of bad reads...

    V Eels

    Agree. That comment from Iron Man had me wound up. League in New Zealand is so influenced now by polyenesian power and flair, the gritty, toiler defensive player is considered an ineffectual RL player by many. Nothing can be further from the truth. League still needs your toilers. The NRL...

    Team vs Eels

    Any idea what they've done? Sam was injured in trials last year. Be good to see him play a bit of football this year.

    Team vs Eels

    Are Locke and Sam Louisi both injured as not in reserves as well?

    Chad Townsend

    Year or so ago I was watching "classic matches" on Sky and they had a Warriors 2002 (GF year) team playing the Sharks in a semi. What amazed me was how high the warriors tackled. Dead set ripped the heads off the sharks players. They would have been suspended out of the comp now.

    Where will we finish?

    Would be good to go through a season, without the normal roller coaster, fight for that 8th position. A good solid start and a regular season position around the2-3-4-6 mark.....we have only had one season like that...2002 if I remember, be it that we were around 1-2. (thats the year the...
