    Kiwis v England Match Thread

    I was watching from one end behind the sticks. I could not work out any sort of pattern or plan the pommies had. There seemed to be a sort of chuck it around without anybody actually hitting the gaps, sort of sideways plan. Their half has individual speed and step, but seems to run around like a...

    PNG's performance

    I agree with those who think the Kumuls defence was pretty good. Not just the big hits, but I was watching their slide and numbering up. They were under pressure a lot. They made most of their one on one tackles and their defence on the line was pretty good. They are certainly strong...

    Promotion of Kiwis test gets reality check

    20600 is an above average crowd for league in Wellington. I think what worked well was that local league people would have felt part of the build up. Getting all the kids playing at half time, mascots leading the players on and the honour guards from Hawera was great for them all feeling part of...

    Promotion of Kiwis test gets reality check

    I agree Kiwi. The promotion here in Wellington for this match is the best ever. I was at the Parliamentary reception last night. Heard John Key talk about SBW and how interested we were in his progress to union.......and how Samoa were in the 4 nations........but other than that the evening...

    Ticket Sales

    One of the most stinging criticisms you get when being an Oz, living overseas, is that Australians act like seppos and think there is nothing outside there own country. Paullyboy, you make seppos look good. I prefer test match footy to SOO by a long margin. Pauulyboy thinks we who think like...

    Ticket Sales

    Joker, exactly! I generally don't generally enjoy meeting mexicans/crow eaters/sand gropers cause they all follow AFL and as a RL fan I have nothing to talk to them about and don't feel I have much in common other that sharing the same island. But theres always cricket and if they are OK you...

    Ticket Sales

    Seriously, when we have posters saying they care more about SOO than Internationals, its time to get rid of SOO. Vidot having to drop out of Samoa because he wanted to play for Queensland? WTF? I'm originally from NSW, but care about as much for NSW as a concept or a team as I would the South...

    Nz kiwis four nations squad 2010 - mindblowing

    He played halfback in the world cup win. I think he can handle it. Hes tough as and will not be a weakness in defence. You won't have to hide him in the defensive line like Stacey. What I like about this Kiwi team is their attacking points. Their forward pack. Luke from dummy half. Benji from...

    Nz kiwis four nations squad 2010 - mindblowing

    Mannering won't be in the centres. Junior Sa'u will get that gig. There's a big chance that Hohaia will be on the bench and Perrot will go back to F/B. Don't know if they'd do this, but I'd drop Waera for Ben Matelino, or maybe FuiFui will miss. Brown may get a run cause he can cover centres...

    Prophecy

    Typically, a tally of 30 points gets you into the semis. We are on 24. Our for and against is improving but still negative. ONe game to play v Cronulla, doesn't mean an automatic two points, but you'd expect on form to win. Tough games at home, but games we could win. 3 out of 7 to get into...

    Predictions for Top 8 by Round 26

    It is gunna come down to the last weekend. Those writing off the Tiges might look a bit glum by season end. I have written them off all year. Hence my low standing in my picking comp. They seem to perform each week. Benji is in good form. His type of player still has their detractors (see...

    Best Win Since Melbourne 2008

    I think it would be fairly uncontroversal to say the best win the Warriors have had in the last few years was that last minute win against Melbourne in the 2008 final series. That was just pure theatre and completely unexpected. I watched Saints v Penrith last week and thought, they have Lewis...

    Shayne Hayne

    Look, the thing that riled me was Penrith were also able to lie around all day at the tackle, warriors were pinged for the slightest hesitation. The Lousi "knock on" was not a knock on. The Matalino "head high" was probably 50/50.....yes generous, the "try" for Penrith, come on, that was no...

    Kevin Humphreys dies

    yes I remember that 4 corners episode too. I don't think I was that old, when was it? early 80's or late 70's. Humphries resigning brought in the Arko period. I actually think that was the start of a very good period for RL. The late 80's is probably on the true golden eras. Only Superleague...

    In the end it's the NRL who have cheated the Storm!

    Cheating has many forms. I was annoyed at the storms tactics of holding down the players in the tackle against the Warriors and the refs complete ignoring of it. Michael Luck was spot on when he accussed the ref of feeling sorry for them. The storm (bellamy) invented the gapple and the...

    Let's chase Johnathan Thurston for AFL: Paul Kelly

    I'm so sick of these "I'm gunna go" to Union or now AFL stories, that I reckon (and I'm serious) that the NRL or new independant commission, should make it a prerequisite for all NRL contracts, to have a pay reduction clause. Every time an article mentions a player could go to union or AFL...

    Give power to the fans

    The last thing we want, is for "fans" to have control of decision making. That's dumb. Why, cause the fans don't have all the information, access to information or even the time to assess the information, even if for a start, they can understand the information. I'm not an accountant and I can't...

    Polyneysians In the Junior Ranks

    Agree Magpie. The alledgedly "fat" polyensian kids are often tall, slim, fast, strong and athletic. There are some big boppers of course. RL's a hard game and we can't make it soft. But it is about an environment for kids to develop and they develop differently. Ridiculous to say, they have to...

    Polyneysians In the Junior Ranks

    A few posters from NZ are saying "if you think you've got a problem come to NZ". They are right. In league in Wellington, say under 9's, there are only about 3 or 4 white kids in the WHOLE grade. One is my son. It is mostly the islanders who are big. Maori boys pretty much the same as the...
