    The A-Teams

    With news coming in overnight about England Knights v Jamaica in front of 7000, it's time to revisit and grow this concept. It's a controversial one but i'll keep plugging it. Tier 1 nations Australia, England and New Zealand should field an A-team annually as part of their duties to...

    Origin is a blueprint, not an anchor

    Rugby League is a sport made for huge moments and last night proved it yet again. State of Origin was another magnificent occasion and the perfect advertisement for the game. Still it has its critics. Particularly International die-hards who bemoan the attention it gets, seemingly at the...

    Small-time NRL clubs fake injury list

    A dishonour roll for small-minded, loser-attitude NRL clubs and coaches who are they don't want their players in rep football so they can preserve their chance of scraping 8th position and getting flogged in a week 1 final.

    Footy players who don't watch footy

    Thoughts people? In the last few weeks not one but two Saints wingers have said to the media that they don't watch footy, at all, outside of team video sessions. Not to pick on the Dragons - I reckon this is common, especially among players plucked out of junior Rugby Union in Fiji and the...
