    Match Payments from the NRL

    One of the things I would like for the NRL to consider when discussing future player enterprise agreements, is to maybe keep some money aside for match Payments to players from the winning team. Each player, regardless of their club arrangement would receive a set amount on top of their club...

    The 8th Immortal

    To be honest, as great a player as he may have been, the fact that people have forgotten about him, pretty much makes him ineligible for the title of an immortal.

    Origin to be played in Perth on a weekend

    It would be nice to see the NRL get a bit like the AFL and put a team there and try and squeeze the Force out or at least make things very hard and expensive for the ARU. I think it would be good for the game as well to have a permanent presence there.

    Origin to be played in Perth on a weekend

    I think it is almost inevitable. They are bleeding cash and the ARU are not strong enough to maintain that. There is no great love for them from the other States as there is a feeling that 5 teams spreads the talent pool too thin in Australia. I think there is also a strong push to...

    Origin to be played in Perth on a weekend

    I think this great for the game. The NRL should also start positioning itself for expansion there, especially with the Western Force probably being scrapped in the near future.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Having had to spend 12 years there (fortunately I am now back home in Qld), what it needs is a stadium in or very near the CBD with a fully enclosed roof like the one in Dunedin. Bruce (GIO) Stadium is well past its used by date.

    Extra Time in Finals

    I guess I would like to see referees not being afraid to award penalties in extra time as well as encourage try scoring so I wouldn't have a big issue with a team winning by scoring a try after the unlikely event of the other team getting 2 penalty goals in extra time.

    Extra Time in Finals

    I think during the regular season, it should be 10 extra minutes with a try giving an automatic win. Field goals and penalties would still count and if a team is ahead on points at the end of the ten minutes than they will win if no try is scored. If scores are still level, than the team who...

    Origin vs NRL

    That is certainly the case now, but was not always that way in the past and may not be so in the future. City/Country used to mean something, not so much now. Interstate AFL used to be a big thing and even the Reds vs Waratahs rugby matches used to stir up a bit of passion. One is now...

    Origin vs NRL

    There will come a time, however, when State of Origin may not be the biggest rugby league game/s of the year. It is a great product at the moment, particularly at reaching into new markets and getting huge ratings and lots of money but who knows where it will be in 10 or 20 years. The NRL...

    Origin vs NRL

    I think you would have to reduce the amount of NRL rounds if you did that. I don't think you could stretch it another 3 weeks if you also wanted some international rep football at the end of the season, otherwise the season would be going all year. Although you could get rid of the seperate...

    Origin vs NRL

    I certainly think the long breaks hurt the Super Rugby comp, especially when they also have games at unfriendly time slots. There are also a lot of people who would probably prefer to watch NRL games instead a rep games like the Jillaroos or city/country and would not want to go 3 whole weeks...

    Origin vs NRL

    While I would love to see 3 weeks of rep footy, the commercial realities of the broadcast deals would make it difficult to achieve in the middle of the season which was some of the reasoning behind my more compromised approach which would hopefully reduce the impact on the NRL season and the...

    Origin vs NRL

    I'm not advocating a designated period for Origin because I still think there needs to be at least 4 NRL games each weekend apart from the standalone weekend. I actually think a designated period is a terrible idea.

    Origin vs NRL

    I'm usually just a reader of this site, but one of things I actually enjoyed from the recent Wallabies series vs England was how it took place over a 3 week period. Given that from 2018 there will be a standalone weekend for Origin 2, I think there is a great opportunity to condense the series...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    I really couldn't care about Sydney clubs to be honest, but SFS would be a terrible location. I just hate seeing NRL games being played in front of a few thousand people. I don't think anyone is arguing for Melbourne to bear the brunt of the 6pm games, but it would be a better fit than the...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Unfortunately, I don't think the location of SFS would suit this timeslot in a city like Sydney. Having lived recently in Melbourne, it is amazing the difference the location of the stadium in relation to the CBD can make to the game day experience. Attending a game would quite often involve...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Have been visiting the site for awhile but have never posted before (so be nice). My thoughts on the deal are that while there are some things I would have liked to see, such as the 4th FTA game, it is ultimately a good deal that will grow the game significantly. As much as I would love to see...
