    Q Cup Assignments for 2018

    Its similar per club though, Broncos 19, cowboys 20, titans 18, and storm 7. so not sure of your point. The big player loss for the Qld clubs and storm is in the u20s. They have a few players spread throughout the Q cup, whereas NSW clubs mostly have and ISP team and u20s jersey flegg...

    Expansion looming in A-League - The Contrast with the NRL

    norths actually had quite a queensland connection at that time. Numerous qld players including Billy Moore, Gary Larson, Ben Ikin, Brett Dallas, Tony Rea, Darren Fritz, all playing in that era, and not long before them Marty Bella, Brett and Ian French, Gavin Jones, Les Kiss, Peter Jackson...

    Roberts calls for professional team in Ireland

    I don't really know, but surely a trip to Ireland for a game couldn't be that difficult, or expensive. I know its just a map, but Dublin doesn't seem much further a trip than London for the majority norther clubs. Genuinely curious, is it a costly thing to go from England to Ireland.

    Which QLD bid would you pick ?

    Other way around. Crushers took over brothers home fields at corbett park and built their leagues club and training ground when they entered the arl back in mid 90s. Town houses there now.

    Gold Coast Bears/Nth Sydney/Gosford

    please stfu about anything outside of Sydney because its obvious you don't have a clue. Why would Dolphins have anything to do with Sunshine Coast. Redcliffe dolphins would probably be the biggest leagues club outside of Broncos in Qld, definetely biggest outside of NRL clubs up here. No way...

    Can anyone confirm if this article is right. I might be totally missing it, but I can't see West Wales Raiders in the League 1 draw for this season.

    RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

    I know, thats kind of the point I was trying to make - people come from far and wide to see something worthwhile that they don't get to see regularly - unfortunately atm this particular world cup is a reverse of that - people see these players every week, and outside of the England team, the...

    RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

    I assume you mean more committed to the international game, considering Super league crowd averages are around 8000 for a 12 team competition. Why are club attendances so low, but international tournament attracts crowds... is it because like other posters have mentioned that in Australia and...

    RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

    You seem like a proactive kind of person... have you wrote to your local member, and the nsw sports minister and asked them why they have taken rugby league for granted in nsw and were too tight arsed to make a bid to host some of the marquis games of this world cup in Sydney, or at some of its...

    Are the NH teams falling more behind.

    No argument that more pathways there are, the better the opportunity for improving, but I do think that maybe player development knowledge is a problem, as well as a lack of intensity in Super League as a whole, not just the top clubs. No disagreement that the Super league teams have a good...

    Just how bad are wales ?.

    Sorry, but I think this approach is a big part of the problem. Its short cited laying the blame at imports if nothing is being done to develop players to a standard matching Southern hemisphere clubs. Without playing regular tough competition, and developing players properly, nothing changes –...

    Are the NH teams falling more behind.

    Really..how is this a logical consequence of an eligibility rule. .how does a rule consistent with most other sports produce poor international teams in the nh. The growing gap is a logical consequences that northern hemisphere rugby league is doing little to improve its standard. Why do we...

    Eligibilty thread

    Without wanting to come across as a rude prick, I kind of feel like this defeatist attitude is more the problem rather than the so called stacked Lebanese team.. A handful of NRL players - a mix of has beens and up and comers - should not be the scapegoat for a French loss. They also have a...

    16 teams for the 2021 RLWC?

    Don't know if these numbers are improving or not, but its not quite as bad Scotland if the RL Samoa website is genuine and up to date: https://www.rugbyleaguesamoa.com/rls-our-history/ Domestic Scene Regular domestic Rugby League has been held in Samoa since the 1988 Pacific Cup, with local...

    France

    No doubt about that, but post ww2 France won a world cup, stayed competitive, and beat Australia in a series as recently as 1978.. 30 years after the war. WTF has happened in the last 40 years that has turned it all to shit. Its getting frustrating reading different forums ad nauseum the NH...

    2018 Draw

    So whats the scam.. Isn't Thursday night the shit slot that no one wants, along with Friday 6pm. I would have thought the thing the makes a good or bad draw for any team is who you have to play twice, how many 5day, 6day, 7day turnarounds you get, For Sydney teams, how often you have to travel...
