    The myth of the 'big 5' Sydney clubs

    Canbrrra and Penriff crowds are a real big worry really. They are bad if the team is going OK and worse of they are going crap. Easts, have they actually got supporters? They get crowds from time to time. Take away the hype this year and they'll go back to two blokes and a dog at there...

    Semi-pro league in NZ?

    I used to go to Bartercard games in Wellington.....I knew absolutely everyone in the crowd by their first name....most of them come in my car.

    State of Origin is irrelevant

    I do. I've been to every single NRL game and test in my city in the last 15 years, been to tests in Sydney on several occasions, flown to Auckland for NRL games. But I wouldn't cross the road to attend a SOO game now. I went to plenty of SOO games in the 80's including one night when there...

    Team v Broncos

    The Fish has been outstanding in last few weeks and finally fulfilling his potential. Locke got injured, gave somebody else a chance who not only did the job but was outstanding. Why would Locke automatically get the nod? What then, does that tell the players? I like it. Imagine how hungry...

    Semi-pro league in NZ?

    In Wellington, most clubs you have to pay to play, let alone be paid to play. Paupers market mate. Which is funny, because League used to be the game the good players came to, to be paid.

    State of Origin is irrelevant

    I was just about to explode....then I realised you are taking the pi$$. OK, very good. Fact is, Kiwis get beaten by 10 by the full Oz team which is 3/4 QLD, NSW gets beaten by more by QLD which ain't as good as Oz.

    Refs

    What? Accidental! Slater has form and it looked pretty deliberate to me and most other people. Refs only saw if on replay. I am completely unbiased as I could not care who wins. The refing in game one was passable with the odd mistake. The refing in game two was a stream of constant...

    State of Origin is irrelevant

    Is it a strong interstate series? Qld wins the 3rd game again this year? The Kiwis have a much, much better record over Oz than NSW has against Qld over the last 10 years. When 'Qlders' like Inglis choose Maroons, and NSWers like Tamou choose NSW is it really state against state? Largely...

    State of Origin is irrelevant

    Mate, Im an Aussie from NSW. I agree with the Kiwis. Internationally international RL rates heaps more than SOO . The Anzac test rates really well in Oz. You sound like some Seppo Wan$er. There's a world out there mate. NSW win as much as the Kiwis against QLD but the over the top hype is...

    Nathan Merritt

    Nathan's game as bad as Maloney and Pierce and the worst is the two refs. All 3 should never see origin again......Add Josh Morris to that too.

    England v Exiles | International Origin | Halliwell Jones Stadium | 14th June | 8pm

    If England don't have Widdop at 5/8, the selectors would have to have rocks in their heads. Someone who performs week in, week out in the NRL is better than anyone in the Superleague.

    3-2-1 v roosters

    Agree that Hurrell should get the 3. His defense took a step up tonight. He was enthusiastic, didn't look injured half the time, ran with power. Really good. 2. Elijah Taylor. Man he has come on. Why is he going now? 1. Manu/Laumape. Can't decide. Who would pick Locke to replace the...

    Friend on way out

    Tony Kemp was back on RadioSport this morning. He was talking about the highest paid player at the warriors is Ben Matalino (which was a guess I gather). He also said that the Australian players playing for the warriors have to be well paid, elsewise why else would you come to Auckland i.e...

    Bye Ackers..

    My theory, based on media snippets and listening to ME himself in Wellington a few weeks back, is that ME does not believe the 20's comp is suitable for preparing a player for 1st grade. Bluey did, recruited a lot of guys straight into 1st grade from the under 20's and they flopped. ME is...

    Friend on way out

    I think the decision to get rid of Friend makes about as much sense as the decision a few years ago to get rid of Fien. At the time, I did not meet a single person who thought getting rid of Fien was a good idea. Take a bloke going great guns, with a year or so to go at the top of his career...

    The team v Broncos

    Was Billy Tupou injured or dropped? I was years ago a fan of the Fish, but he has constantly disappointed me. But I thought he actually went OK on Sunday. Deserves another shot. I don't mind BT, he is experienced and relatively reliable except if his centre is a crap defender. Not too many...

    3-2-1 vs Knights

    I'm with you Izz. These guys knocking TL are either watching a different game than me or don't know what they are talking about. Agreed his kicking game was off yesterday. But his defence is pretty good. Far, far, far, far better than SJ. His defence was also truely ordinary again. When...

    3-2-1 vs Knights

    10 points to the 10,000 diehard fans who turned up to watch. My neighbour asked me at 3.55 if I was gunna watch the warriors.....I said I dunno. I hovered over the remote for 5 minutes and wondered if I would put myself through that again. But I did. All is right with the world again...sorta...

    3-2-1 vs Panthers

    Saw the aftermatch press conference this arvo. Mannering was almost crying. They are ashamed as well they should. Its another season of nothing. It really does shock me how many of this team, were in the GF two years ago and where they are now.

    3-2-1 vs Panthers

    I sat there for the first half, till it got to 26-0. That game had Cleary written all over it. They kept coming down the warriors right side (thinking carefully about the orientation on TV) and have runners cutting back or around SJ. Cleary knows all the team and their weaknesses. He is now a...
