    Why Andrew Webster's New Zealand Warriors revival has its origins in American rugby league

    Not sure where to post this, Media Watch or here. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-05/the-connecticut-wildcat-behind-the-nrl-most-unexpected-rise/102187122 by Nick Campton Do not adjust your settings or glance out the window in case pigs are flying and hell has frozen over because the...

    Buzz' Top 50

    Just for arguments sake. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-2022-phil-buzz-rothfield-reveals-his-top-50-players-of-the-year/news-story/eeb566fe9354f3a4818c31d4505f26f5 A million-dollar pay packet is no guarantee of a listing in the top 50.

    Is he the former next big thing in the halves at Parramatta a few years ago?

    Why don't the refs keep the markers straight

    All teams, all games, all refs. Is there some reason they don't bother?

    Jake Clifford - Nathan Fein 2.0

    Have been meaning to post this for a while. Cliff's turned into a worldbeater since he left, despite some promising moments, he was generally bog average for us. Like Fein, deadset ordinary until he signed mid-year to join the Warriors, suddenly lit up the comp as we surged to our first gf and...

    Why GI Chose Queensland

    Just finished a book by journalist Joe gorman called Heartland - How RL Explains Qld. Traces the history of RL in Qld from the bad old days pre-Origin to the end of 2015. He documents how Qld always had more indigenous players and how that pulled the whole state together while, he argues, NSW...

    That’s me done with Nein

    Hardly watch Nein these days, how long have they been playing ads in a split screen format while the footy continues in a smaller window? F*ckem. Back to Kayo.

    Every Club's Real Cap Worth

    NRL Tonga Appeal

    They've been good with the promotion on Fox and the signs are on the field but I'd like to see a thermometer or updates on the progress of the appeal. Maybe mention big corporate donors or community groups that give to inspire others to give. I realise bignoting about your generosity is...

    Son of a Gun

    Watching the trials this weekend, there's been a number of guys whose father played at NRL level. I thought I heard about 10 mentioned but can only remember a few because of the fog of alcohol- Scott Bella, Pezet, Ryley Price son of Steve, Tyson somebody or other. I'd appreciate if others...

    Bear/Reds Merger

    Not sure if this has been suggested before but it may not be as silly as most of the suggestions on here. It would take some high powered negotiations and some egos would have to be put aside but could be a way to kill several birds with one stone. My idea is for the NS Bears, the Perth...

    Fox staff writers

    I might be a bit slow on the uptake, never noticed it before, but F*x coverage of the Latu Fainu story and the Latrell piece broken by BT this morning were just lifted straight from the opposition's articles. F*x staff writers seems just code for scouring the net and paraphrasing lifted...

    Opinion Players who offer value for money

    I thought of this watching the Titans and missing Anthony Don who, to me, has provided great value over a long period on what I assume is a modest contract. I'd like to hear from fans of other clubs who they've been happy with over a long period, whether it's the million dollar man who is...
