    Scrums - the dinosaur of Rugby evolution.

    You're right. The scrum at the moment is like that derelict heritage building most suburbs and towns have. They put a protective fence around it, everyone says saving it is important, but no one knows what to do within a framework that negates any innovative renovation to give it a new and...

    Power Play for NRL

    I do believe that when "the greatest game of all" was first coined, they weren't using the playing laws of NRL 2011.

    Power Play for NRL

    What RL lacks is variety. Game needs more "in game" strategy choices. Ones where the fans would debate, "Was that the right choice?". For example, introduce an option on how the game is re-started after the post try conversion attempt. If the conversion misses, the opponents get option of...

    Why do we ignore Touch?

    What most in RL have failed to realise is that the modern form of RL is rapidly becoming a game capable of only being played by hardened athletes, aspiring athletes, and those indifferent to the consequences (talking here about A-grade and bush players) - no one else, like gridiron in the USA...

    Expansion, Manly and the Coasts

    One day Manly will realise they have nearly a third of Sydney all to themselves when it comes to a sponsor/fans catchment area - from the Harbour Bridge to the Hawkesbury & west to Cherrybrook - that enormous part of Sydney is large enough to sustain one NRL team, offering far more $ potential...

    2012 Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

    Not something I've gone looking at, but my first recollection of teams having two jerseys in same year was Wests & Manly in 1975, but that was really confined to just the pre season jersey differing from the premiership - Manly, and maybe Wests, played in white jerseys. Manly made the change to...

    That's Rugby League DVD

    That's Rugby League was made by Graham McNeice & released in early months of 1995. In 2008 I was fortunate enough to work with Graham when he made another RL doco along a similar chronological style/length for the History Channel, which still screens it from time to time. Called 'The Spirit of...

    Rugby League history exhibitions

    I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem, but I think they want a rsvp so they can cater the expected number. Will post rsvp details when organisers provide them to me (hopefully soon).
