    Player Depth

    So always a contentious one, is there enough players to expand? Leaving aside that better player development pathways would undoubtedly mean yes, how about a team that could kick off next year from players that either cant make first team at moment or injuries or form has seen them promoted this...

    Time for a radical rethink on the penalty system?

    With all the debate about bans and no charges it might be a good time to consider a radical rethink on a very traditional penalty system. With the game being all about entertainment and eyes on TVs to generate its revenue is our current system of sitting out players for fouled play a smart...

    Matty Johns F2F

    Anyone watch it? Leaving aside my dislike of Vlandys and his embarrassing answers for a supposed national game, I thought it was pretty poor. Johns looked out of his depth. awkward, overwhelmed and the questions were all very benign. Maybe it will get better when he interviews ex players and its...

    League life gone

    After being canned in covid year I was hoping it would be back this year but it’s slot has been replaced with yet another matty johns show. I know it’s cost cutting but league life was always a good watch and came from a different perspective. Interestingly it was also the only RL show my wife...

    $1million forwards, are they worth it?

    Watching cowboys and Titans yesterday can’t help but question if spending $1mill on a forward is wise, especially the way the game is going with its speeding up? Traditionally the best forwards have been at around the 60-70% salary value of the star backs. Is it worth spending such a big chunk...

    Constitution Changes

    On the eve of the AGM thought I'd flag a couple of changes to the ARLC constitution. The length of stay is the interesting one, and that they haven't done it retrospectively. Means existing 3 year tenure commissioners can now hang around for a further 6 years years, in effect giving them 9 years...

    Broadhurst battling dementia

    Terrible news. Mark would be the toughest player I ever had the pleasure of watching live. Never took a backwards step and real hero of mine as a young kid stood on the terrace at old Craven Park. Will be a tough fight ahead for him. Diagnosed Alzheimer’s but could just as easily be CTE given...

    MJ Podcast

    Anyone catch last nights? Normally I find them a bit of a rehash of NRL360 with some old coot stories thrown in but last nights was well worth a watch. MJ was spilling the beans on what went on during the SL war and the crazy experiences they had in signing up to ARL. It was well worth a watch...
