    Was he held? - Tackle Rule

    I agree that it was not held because the refs clearly called it and he hit the ground and didn't have a hand on him. It would have been no drama if the GCT players dived on him to slow the play down (which is what they would have been coached to do). The 50/50 (if I'm being conservative) calls...

    v the Roosters

    There is no way that Inu should be in the centres. The Mannering/Berrigan centres combo, with Taylor later, was defensively better than in previous weeks. Inu is NOT a defensive player. Lewis Brown at 2nd row, was also pretty good shutting down those backline movements. In fact Brown has been...

    What's gone rotten?

    Seen the team for Saturday. Fair dinkum, I reckon Ivan's read my post above! see http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/4822618/Big-changes-to-Warriors-for-Taupo-clash/ That puts the pressure on. If they loose, its all my fault!

    What's gone rotten?

    Whats gone wrong? 1. Seymour's crap. - Fix - Drop him put mateo at 5/8 or promote Shaun Johnson. It will happen one day. Sooner the better. 2. Hohaia isn't a fullback - always been a caretaker. Fix Put Kevin Locke at fullback or Fishiahi. Gotta happen one day, sooner the better. 3. Forwards...

    3 2 1 v Slippery Eels

    I think the smart posters above mentioned our kicking game. Very ordinary. Who's responsibility is that? The halves. They both had ordinary games in my view. Mahoney gets -2. But thats not what lost us that game. It was our back 3.....well 2 actually. Ropati was OK. But really Hohaia and the...

    Refereeing

    I watched the Warriors V Para. Thought it was an excellent game, BUT if Steve Lyons was a player, he'd not only be dropped but cut from the squad on that performance.

    Kiwis for Halberg Award

    God I get sick of the "All Whites, only unbeaten team in the world" comments. They didn't win a game and consequently didn't leave pool play. Good teams on form didn't get a chance to flog them. They performed way above expectations, but won nothing. Not even a match. regardless that soccer is...

    NZ South Island Rugby League Clubs.

    Ozbash, what $$$$'s are you talking about? There ain't no $$$$ in Wellington, Manawatu, Taranaki, Hawkes Bay or Waikato RL. If there are $$$$'s in NI RL it must only be in Auckland. I don't think there is too many $$$$'s there either. About the only team with $$$$ is the warriors

    loss

    What Slater is, is an incredibly instinctive player who does things at pace. Because he does it at pace and instinctively, he is unpredictable and dangerous all the time, in the age of video analysis. Because he does it at pace and instictively, he makes mistakes. Usually his influence on a game...

    Kiwi bragging rights thread

    Fein spent more time in NZ when he was picked for NZ than cutie had spent in Oz when he was picked for Oz. You have residency rules in every sport. Look at English Raa Raa. France Raa Raa had that very French bloke Tony Marsh playing in the centres. Irene Van Dyk playing netball for NZ...

    loss

    How can you blame Slater? He scored one of Oz's 2 tries and made one mistake (dropping that kick), which DIDN'T lead to the try. Lote also dropped a ball, Bird was a dick and got penalised, Oz missed like 28 tackles, none were missed by Slater. Blaming Slater for that loss, shows me you...

    What was the NZRL thinking?

    Actually, if you watch that game last week, its my view that NZ were penalised by having the pommy ref in charge and they'd be better with an NRL referee. The kiwis game plan was a touch football game plan, drive (read dummy half run), drive, drive spin it and have FPritchard or SKD hitting a...

    No PNG Home Games - Why

    Well Kiki, you might have been there, you might even be a papuan, but tell me what I said that is wrong? Are there not riots when the games sell out and people try to get in? Are there not occassions when the Oz team when it did play, had to run off the field? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to...

    New Zealand vs. Australia

    I reckon Lockyer is one of the best players I've seen go round over my 40 odd years. But he is reaching the end of his reign. He ain't been dropped, he has been rested. I actually think Carney will add more flair. He may however be a weakness if he tries to do too much and may not use the men...

    New Zealand vs. Australia

    Aussies have named a second string side I see. Really not a bad move from their point of view. Get fllogged by the Kiwis, ah well, that was our second side. Win, and they have a huge boost in confidence for the top side. Disappointing for potentially the biggest crowd at a RL match in NZ...

    No PNG Home Games - Why

    Frank Endicotts book talks about a tour to NZ by the kiwis and having the bus hijacked by a group of mudmen with spears. Port moresby games generally have riots and police firing smoke bombs. Personally, I'd love to go watch games there. I'll wait however till I have no dependant children as...

    4 nations and the international game

    Joker, lets see what happens if Qld wins the next 3 years. See how interesting that is. The balance of power in RL is shifting to Qld and what is good is they actually support the game, unlike Sydney "supporters". Qlds existing player base will almost guarantee them the next 2. Ingles...

    4 nations and the international game

    People miss the point here. Wales qualifies for next years 4 nations, by beating France, in front of a packed house in Southern France, 13-12 a couple of weeks back. Wales beat around Ireland 34-32. Theres a good competition developing at this level. What do these sides need to step up? More...

    4 nations and the international game

    I must admit, that the 4 nations has been a little underwhelming and predictable. But does that mean we 'can' the international game? In my view, absolutely no way. Rome was not built in a day. And while it may be predicable at the moment lets put it in perspective. If it was the basketball...

    Promotion of Kiwis test gets reality check

    Porirua park is rectangular but stand only holds couple thousand. Rugby league park. But rugby stole that with the help of Wellington City Council and the stand only holds a few hundred. So no, no option for a rectangular "stadium" in Wellington.
