    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    Of course the afl do this well but recently a news article peaked my interest about grassroots. I couldnt be arsed to find the article but it was along the lines of that McDonald’s is supplying vouchers to man of match junior grassroot afl teams. The Nrl needs to get onto this and have major...

    ARLC Commission Changes

    At some point smith, Grant and Greenberg will tell there side of the story. No matter which side you stand on the truth will come out and not be delivered by a disgruntled club leaker or News Ltd reporter.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I agree it may be a little while down the track but storm are approaching 25k members. I’m not sure of victory’s membership numbers. When the Vic gov are throwing money at etihad precinct, I’m not sure Vic gov will want to spend money on a stadium redevelopment for another 20/25yrs. By then I’d...

    NRL on course for TV ratings victory over AFL

    I thinks it’s great that masters wrote this article and puts quite a few afl people in there place. But this article was 2 yrs to late. The afl and Nrl is the closest it’s been in years in being able to be compare tv ratings like for like and due to the digital revolution comparing everyone...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I see a point down the track that when storm, aleague melbourne exceed aami park the only option will be etihad/marvel or whatever it’s called. The Vic gov will not spend 100 of millions of dollars on a aami park upgrade or another stadium. They will end up paying the afl to let other codes play...

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    Not sure I agree with that. We can’t just expect the Nrl to pay for everything. Money doesn’t grow on trees. I feel it should be an obligation that falls on Nrl clubs/states that are looking after that area. Or the Nrl takes it out of the clubs funding to pay for it? The clubs benefit the...

    NRL Touch

    I had read an article about the suns/adelaide China debacle. That both teams send state gov trade delegates over to schmooze Chinese business people. (Smart idea and the Nrl clubs should do something similar) They used the chance to talk to Gina Rinehart about funding afl while she was doing...

    PNG and Cairns investigate joint NRL bid

    I think most on here are looking at the short problems that png have and not the bigger picture. Yes security, fraud/corruption, crime, female abuse, and poverty are all issue that face png. But this still doesn’t change the fact that rugby league is a religion there. The longer term benefits...

    Gould - "Greenberg is a farce".

    I watched nrl360 and Flanagan was on there. They brought up the fact penalties can come in clumps. His answer was we now train for that! Now I’m not having a dig at the sharks because I’m sure every club coach is thinking like that. But that’s the problem... they aren’t actually angry at the...

    Commentators are leading the anti ref sentiment.

    I also think a lot of this rests on the shoulders of the players. Maybe Greenberg needs to sit down with the Rlpa and make them aware that the type of negative play that the players are currently imploying like offsides all the time, hookers passing the ball into offside players etc are negitive...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    For the Canberra civic stadium proposal a few things need to happen. Union and league need to stick solid publically and soccer (gallop & expansion hopeful) need to show support as well for a rectangle only stadium. Raiders and/or Canberra business group could consult with AIS individually and...

    Commentators are leading the anti ref sentiment.

    It would be good if someone could put a clip together about commentators complaining last year about the issues that the Nrl have fixed and overlay them now.

    Napa sin bin

    How about re-reading my post. I said both. Being lazy and leading with the head and dropping eyes is a dangerous move. It forces the tackling player to have no view of the attacking player when contact is made. Sims shouldn’t be worrying or stopped from stepping due to Napa’s laziness. Napa...

    Commentators are leading the anti ref sentiment.

    Exactly.... they just need to commentate the game not give me there bullish!t opinion and complain for the next 15mins

    Napa sin bin

    Both! Napa lead with his head and what made his tackle different to nearly every other tackle is that he dropped his eyes/head to the ground a long way out which is just lazy and dangerous.

    Commentators are leading the anti ref sentiment.

    And that’s all fine. But the narrative is always the Nrl or refs fault, which shouldn’t be the case. In the end Napa deserved to be binned and the manly/storm players deserved to be binned and sent. Commentators, reporters and the clubs have always sloped the shoulder and blamed the Nrl. Where...

    Commentators are leading the anti ref sentiment.

    Maybe it’s too late for this broadcast deal but when the new broadcast deals get negotiated should the Nrl include conditions about the commentators? Force all commentators to notify Nrl of conflict of interests. Can’t commentate on teams with the contflict (Gould/panthers/roosters/nsw)...

    The fallout from Storm vs Manly (Spoilers)

    No fallout. he’s getting an Aus day medal for punching a grubby manly merkin though.

    NRL Touch

    I don’t have a problem with the Nrltouch inaugural season being played before the nrl games. First of all it’s 6 (2x3 m/f) games a week. Hardly a big deal. Once the competition expands the season and structure will change. Promotes non-contact rugby league to the tv/online masses. And allows...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I feel it’s just some afl nuffie that is putting this out there to gauge the push back. And raiders, brumbies should bite back hard. Both clubs/codes need to make statements publicly, as do the Nrl/Ar CEOs. And for god sake someone call the gws on there 3 games a year in Canberra crap.
