    Grass roots

    The local stuff is where it is at. I watch a minimum of 1 game of local league in Wellington a weekend, even if thats just juniors. The smell of linament and sweat, the sound of the hits, the cold, rain and wind. I never got to the NRL but played local footy and a bit of provincial stuff. So the...

    Rugby League in NZ schools

    I think I'll end my argument on this by sayin' you can have your view and I'll have mine, which a lot of people will share. I ain't a hypocrite. I accept I have my prejudices and know people have theirs. I don't criticise I just know what is. But do you really think that people who have personal...

    Rugby League in NZ schools

    Te Kaha, I think you and me might live in different worlds. Maybe because I have left my working class roots via the days of free university and moved into the whitebread, middleclass professional world and am not easily offended, people are comfortable saying things to me like, "why do you...

    Rugby League in NZ schools

    Te Kaha, I think you should acknowledge that there has been HUGE prejudices in your home town against league that comes from administrators, teachers and parents. I'm a leaguie from Oz, whos lived here a long time. I get predjudice EVERY SINGLE DAY from workmates and people I know against...

    official team vs Cowboys

    Didn't Locke come into the team on the wing? Wade McKinnon was at Fullback. Two tries on debut...2009 wasn't it? Then when Wade got injured he went to Fullback. No reason why the Fish can't be a winger. Hes fast, rule fast, but doesn't yet have the game sense to be fullback.

    James Tamou - allegiance

    Therefore you are a victim of hype and hyperbole. If it were true, that Queensland and NSW teams were better than the Australian and Kiwi teams, then SOO would truely would be the 'pinnacle' of Rugby League. That, is simply not true. Queensland is not the Australian Team and I firmly believe...

    Kasiano nears QLD switch

    I see the ARLC chair Grant, thinks its fine. Right, I've decided he is an absolute merkin. Every sensible RL fan has the feeling that this is not right. Tamou was embarrising and now Kasiano. But no, Grant comes out and says its the Kiwis problem.....FMD. If this is the leadership we are...

    23.5

    I was optimistic at the start of the season. Very concerned about our centres though. As its turned out, our centres are settling down and developing OK. Our halves are good. I'd say its been the injuries to Locke that have been the problem. I reckon Manu might have made a big difference to...

    Kasiano nears QLD switch

    I am so sick of these qualifications arguments that I am boycotting SOO. Mal and Ricky are showing such appalling vision it stuns me. The leaders of our game, need to step in and show leadership. Tell Ricky and Mal to pull their heads in. Somebody in charge, PLEASE show some common sense and...

    23.5

    I recall the comment from the commentators that only Maloney in the warriors backline hadn't come the Toyota Cup. What is that comp, 3 or 4 years old? The petulance of youth was pretty obvious to all Saturday night. For the sharks, who was it that led the comeback, old tough head, Jeremy...

    Kasiano nears QLD switch

    Its up to the individual I suppose. But the crap media hype over Origin, lead by that twat "thats an origin play" Gould, also has a bit to do with it. The players aren't all that smart. A lot get sucked into it. People get sucked into it. Say it often enough and people believe it. I had...

    vs Panthers

    I wasn't gunna whinge about the reffing cause we won. But it was ordinary as it has been, across the board all year. Why? Not just for the warriors. Hard job being a ref, I know that for a fact, I hate reffing and probably suck, but a first grade ref should get it right mostly and be even and fair.

    vs Panthers

    Talking about the game plan, I was driving in this morning, listening to Radiosport. I was listening to the radio jocks and callers criticising the warriors play in the second half because once they were ahead, they tucked it in tight and ran one off the ruck with the forwards in tight, quick...

    Which Kiwi/English players would make Origin?

    2 million registered rugby players out of a population of 61 million? I knew union calculators were..."creative" but thats a goodin. 3.2% of the population are registered players? Yer right. Maybe 3% of the population have BEEN to a rugby match. Ireland, more Rugby players than NZ. Whatever...

    The team v Panthers

    We always struggle v Penriff but. It might be tougher against a coach who knows the team too. That said, he won't know their patterns because they are not playing the same. If we don't win this one, kiss the season goodbye and plan the end of season function. If we had have won against the...

    Which Kiwi/English players would make Origin?

    Agree with comment above, this is rubbish. THE only reason why the All Blacks are a top team is because the other countries are caught up playing other games which dilutes their talent. Union is 4th tier sport in Oz and gets the 4th tier talent generally. The ALL Blacks beng some supermen is...

    3-2-1 v Storm

    I agree with the questions about Mara being off. I noted that Bluey only bought him back on with about 10 to go. Which is just too late. Fishiahi has been a big disappointment. My 12 year old son said we went better with Maloney at FB then when the Fish was on. I thought about it and he was...

    David Gallop

    Wouldn't think this would be up for 'thread of the year' award. Gallop is easily one of the best CEOs the NRL has ever had. That NZ twat before him was a disaster. Gallop has had to deal with some issues, not of his making. I reckon he carries himself pretty well. As a manager of a...

    Worst buys for the Warriors

    I just watched TL play for wigan in Superleague a week or so back. He was outstanding. He has got better and better. The first time I saw him play was for the Junior Kiwis v Oz. I guess 2004? Mighta been 2003. But I couldn't work out what the hype was about. He was a plodder at that level...

    Crucifixion if he was a league player

    I've noted that when an All Black/former all black gets done for something, there is almost a hushed, "how can this be?" You end up with a full apology being sought from the victims family. But when its league TV 1 in particular, are so blatantly biased I have stopped watching their news. I'll...
