    Why is representing your country so devalued in RL?

    Agree. However, I don't agree that initial assessment by Perth Red. Seems people forget that we just had the most successful RLWC ever with some huge crowds. Secondly, being from SYdney, I always take offence to people claiming Sydney fans don't care about internationals. They certainly do...

    Only in America?

    I grew up with an Insinkerator and those things can just about chew up anything. If you live in a big Aussie city what goes down your drain ends up at a waste water treatment plant. Most of the solid stuff is filtered out and composted to form fertiliser which is then trucked off to farmers. I...

    QF 1 Vs Roosters

    What a win. f**kin STB didn't record the last 10 minutes :x Great game by all the guys. Thought Idris was huge in defence and all the forwards were immense. We are definately in the best side of the draw now and I can sniff a GF birth. Lord League

    2017 Rugby League World Cup

    Sally Bolton and her team did an amazing job in 2013. Huge Wembley and Old Trafford crowds should look good in the promos. Hope the 2017 final is at a sold out Homebush. LordLeaguie

    Five best half backs of the past 60 years.

    I'd have Greg Alexander ahead of most players on that list. On his day, there were none better. Could do things other players (including everyone on that list) could only dream about. LordLeague

    Consistently Biased Referees against Panthers

    I still can't work out the knock-on ruling against Idris after he dived on a loose ball late in the Manly game. This gifted Manly field position for the first of their last 2 tries. Lord League

    "You happy with the on side Walshy?"

    Just watched Manly v Penrith that I recorded earlier today. Great game and freak catch and pass by Jamie Lyon at the end. What struck me as strange was just before the final try was awarded you could here Matt Checcin clearly ask the touch judge "you OK with the on side Walshy?". Being a...

    Gareth Widdop & James Roby

    Problem is, nobody knows exactly how good Widdop is. For Melbourne he plays alongside Cronk/Slater/Smith and basically does what is required of him. He tackles hard and catches as passes as required by whatever set play has been called by Cronk or Smith. Widdop was definately off his game when...

    More bad RLWC press coming...

    Gotta say I'm loving the world cup, as are most of my mates. Even my London born and bred Father set his alarm to get up for Fiji vs Samoa! When I was 5 years old he tried to tell me to release the ball when I was tackled, I was like "WTF Dad - that's BS!" The rest is history. A far as Buzz...

    The Kangaroo's world cup squad. Interesting.

    Not surprising to see Bourbon Bec's name on that Tele article. Merkinette of the highest order. Lord League

    The Forbidden Game-insightful book on what has & can happen

    Another excellent book is "Rugby's Class War" by David Hinchliffe M.P. published in 2000. From the back page: "It is a hard hitting account of the way bigotry, elitism and hypocrisy underpinning Rugby Union's long standing attempts to outlaw the separate sport of Rugby League were finally...

    '13 | R17 | Sat | Titans 18-40 Panthers | TIO, Darwin

    The Tits sure are getting some Piggies. The Panthers will be lucky to win this one.

    Why are NRL players so good at other sports?

    In the 70's 80's and 90's, RL as a sport never "poached" RU players. RL clubs simply offered RU players an honest salary if they thought that player would provide an on-field benefit to their club. This was attractive to RU players who were only amateur and playing RU for free :sarcasm: Lord...

    Many International News Bits: Mascord

    The NRL/RLIF do their best to keep the Bill Kelly Cup a secret. The Trans Tasman Cup was once the prize for test series between NZ and Aus. It's probably gathering dust in the trophy cabinet next to the Ashes trophy. The lack of respect shown by RL administrators for the traditions of our great...

    Many International News Bits: Mascord

    The Rugby League fans are already there, but they just don't care too much about "one-off" tests. If more fans knew that they were actually playing for the same trophy each year, that is, the Bill Kelly Cup, the blood spilt over the years competing for the trophy creates a tradition and adds...

    Many International News Bits: Mascord

    Good news but needs some tweaks. 1. GB tour MUST be 3 matches with the Ashes on the line. Otherwise why bother? 2. Start marketing the Anzac tests for what they are. That is, the "Bill Kelly Cup". This will at least create some continuity from year to year and help build tradition...

    Has Farah surpassed Smith?

    Yeah, got a bit carried away with the Innes bit. That big picture of Robbie set me off.
