    Rugby League Dying...

    you can email the old rah rah merkin on smhcarlton@hotmail.com and argue your side of the story. I did on monday - no response yet but he might respond in his saturday column. And Carlton has been willing RL to die for many years....

    Attn Parra fans (others too if you have an opinion)

    I'm disappointed he's going - Parra are playing a good style of footy and seem to be enjoying themselves. I was surprised that he kept selecting Brett Delaney as I don't rate him, but he doesn't seem to have as many favourites as Brian Smith did. Hagan hasn't been able to bring any big names...

    Daniel Backo and Tom McGougan

    Hi, can anyone tell me whether these two guys are in the Titans development squad? They were both promising Jersey Flegg players at Parramatt last year and the last I heard was that they were homesick and went back to the Gold Coast.

    Rugby League Scouting - how far and wide does it go?

    Every rugby league club has talent scouts, and player agents act as talent scouts also. So just how far and wide do we look for talent? We are now scouting heavily in NZ, but do we go to places like Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, PNG or maybe even South Africa?

    Tim Smith's forward passes - embarrassing

    maybe i'm being too critical....we were just so bad tonight. It's hard to believe that same team (more or less) were minor premiers last year

    Tim Smith's forward passes - embarrassing

    I reckon he does more than anyone else in the game and it's got to the point that they're quite embarrassing. That one he threw to Tahu tonight was outrageous. And whilst i'm bagging players, I might as well throw Delaney in there. Apart from his goal kicking, what does he bring to the team??

    Which players put back into the game?

    In the last 10-15 years Rugby league has made a lot of men rich. So what are some examples of players putting back into the game? I know Anthony Mundine sponsors junior RL, the Hindmarsh bros sponsor a cup in the southern highlands and David Peachey and Russell Richardson sponsor a cup in Dubbo...

    Rugby league in Sydney's ethnic communities

    Anyone who lives or has spent some time in Sydney knows it's quite ethnically diverse. So, which ethnic groups have embraced league, and which ones haven't, and why? I know there are big Vietnamese and Filipino communities out west - do they play the game much, or is it a bit too rough for them...

    Forget Central Funding - NRL Should Fund Rep Appearance Money

    I'm with you ali - this is what should happen - $15K for appearances for Australia/NZ and $10K for SOO. We won't get as many players pulling out of rep duties if it's like that also

    NZRL Financial State

    You guys seem pretty knowledgeable about rugby league over the ditch, so can you tell me what the financial state of the NZRL is like? From memory the Australian Rugby League pays the NZRL $3000 for every player that comes across to play in oz. We all know there has been a pretty sizeable influx...

    Worst Parra team of all time

    and what about Andrew Leeds - he was a shocker. A candidate for the slowest back to ever play the game

    Josh Davis back in Wellington?

    Firstly an intro - i'm a long time eels fan who has been reading this board for a while but have only just registered. Anyway, on another thread, Carlnz, who seems to be fairly knowledgeable mentioned that Josh Davis is back in Wellington. Does anyone know why? Hope he hasn't become homesick

    Who is getting the best NZ Juniors?

    do you know why? Parra fans have big hopes for him

    Who is getting the best NZ Juniors?

    There's really two parts to this question: 1. Is rugby league or rugby union getting the best junior talent in NZ? In recent years we have seen a massive influx of junior talent from NZ into the NRL and a few cross code tug o' wars between junior players. 2. Which NRL clubs are getting the...
