    Dave Furner says 'no thanks', Jennings to Penrith as well

    From reading the media reports of this morning and the last week, Walters and Collins seem to be the men most likely, both have merit as Collins has been instrumental in the success of our Premier League teams and Walters was an understudy to Wayne Bennet at one of the most successful coaching...

    Green Means Go....and Buy Your Ticket

    World Cup trip seems unlikely, work won't give me time off during June/July. Not too happy about missing out. Ah well, the West Indies in 07 for the cricket will be a nice compromise. It's a very Sully kind of movie. "Mr Son of a bitch! Let's play some cards"

    Who was the better fijian flyer...Tuqiri or Nadruku?

    Since this has turned into a Noa Nadruku appreciation thread, here are some other notable mentions in regards to the great man. Daily M Winger of the Year in 1993, 1996. Top Try Scorer 1993, 1996. David Middleton's Team of the Year 1994.

    Who was the better fijian flyer...Tuqiri or Nadruku?

    21-10 was in 1993, but Noa only scored the one try (saved a definte two), the other try scorers were Meninga, Hoppe and Daley.

    Who was the better fijian flyer...Tuqiri or Nadruku?

    Noa was spotted by the Raiders at a Rugby 7s tournament, and one of the moments that captured attention was, in the Final of the tournament and with Fiji trailing, a backline movement began deep in their own half with Noa who was playing centre receiving the ball and without even looking...

    Who was the better fijian flyer...Tuqiri or Nadruku?

    Not entirely correct. Noa was acquitted after being charged with assaulting three women, one of them his wife after downing 28 Schooners and half a bottle of wine at a bar in Canberra. That was the reason the Raiders released him and he ended his career at the Cowboys.

    Who was the better fijian flyer...Tuqiri or Nadruku?

    Noa is Lote's uncle. Noa Nadruku for me, he stormed onto the scene out of obscurity and was an instant success, with top tryscorer in the 1993 season. Aside from his attacking flair, he also had a interesting tackling technique, which resembled a torpedo, as he would launch himself at...

    More racism dramas

    I hardly think that would be the case. As an example, if the upcoming Ashes series had a ban on all alcohol, it would not diminish ticket sales at all. Alcohol is not freely available in any subcontinent nation at the cricket and they still attract large crowds aside from the fact that its...

    When was the last time any of those nations were formally investigated by the ICC as a result of racial abuse from the crowds.

    What pray tell should Sri Lankans get dressed up in when they were called 'Black C****s' on Australia Day?

    More racism dramas

    Alcohol doesn't make people racist. I don't get the urge to be discriminatory or racist when I'm having a drink. Individuals can't hide behind diminished responsibility due to alcohol. People who have underlying prejudiced beliefs will vent those feelings regardless.

    India vs Pakistan - Game 1

    India managed to get 7 wickets in the first innings, Pakistan couldn't buy one in the last two days. I would also dispute that Pakistan have a better bowling attack, with Kumble and Singh definte match winners and Pathan having all the characteristics that would make him a success on...

    India vs Pakistan - Game 1

    Broadcast rights albeit a huge turnover for the Board of Cricket In India, is not the only source of revenue. Nike has signed a 5 year deal with the Indian Cricket team valued at $27.12M/year far greater than current deals with the Brazillian National Football Side, Juventus, Chelsea or Man...

    Insipred by the Nicholas thread: Best and worst commentators.

    Navjot Sidhu is now a member of parliament in India. He only had a short stint in commentary but was great for a laugh: 'Statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than what they hide' 'Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn' 'The Indians are finding the gaps...
