    Grant Mayer quits Manly

    Manly, Cronulla and to an extent Penrith are all hampered for support by Sydney's mercurial layout and rubbish transport system. Unfortunately they're going to have to make a choice between playing park football where they are or moving to stay relevant to a national competition and reap the...

    New NRL commission as News Ltd plans to exit game

    I'll agree with that. I never liked Howard or his policies while he was in politics and never voted for him but he has the business acumen, profile and contacts across the globe to be very influential on behalf of the game. How many candidates that are firstly unaligned have the potential to get...

    NZ - The Forgotten Frontier?

    But not all of them are performing on or off the field to the standard required of a national competition. At least three Sydney teams need to look at alternatives to their current status quo IMO, that is to say before they have no choice. Maybe you're right. If so I think the side needs to...

    NZ - The Forgotten Frontier?

    New Zealand doesn't need a second NRL side. They need their current side to play a lot more games in Wellington and Christchurch and be generally visible (media appearances, meet the fans days) a lot more outside Auckland. The NRL's expansion needs to be about consolidating its base in NSW and...

    Dogs Fans...

    They all got stale long before they left. After 2004 they decided they had nothing more to prove so they just wallowed in their own glory for three years while giving back nothing but heartache. They were all well versed in each other's vices and for the Roosters not to see the writing on the...

    The Official Finals Crowd Thread

    Any new north Queensland bid IMO bites a little too close to the Cowboys' territory and a few games in Rockhampton each season is better than giving the area a stand-alone team which I fear will have trouble getting numbers and sponsorship, as will Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast for the next...

    If we used the AFL system...

    If all first week games were played simultaneously the current NRL McIntyre system would be much fairer. The draw for the following week would be immediately apparent and teams could concentrate on what's on the field rather than having half a mind on other games to come. The confusion and lack...

    The North Sydney Bears Myth

    I never minded Norths, holding the fort as they did for RL on the RU-dominated lower north shore. And I've never hated Manly so much as found them boring all those years. But neither of them on their own are relevant to the kind of competition the NRL is going to need for RL to take the fight...

    Trying to understand the mess - the NRL stakeholders

    Good idea. The current disquiet over rugby's restrictive rules gives the NRL a great chance to capitalise. Christchurch is a better bet IMO than Wellington; twice the size (about the same as Canberra) with a well-loved ground to play at. Either way the Warriors need to schedule games in...
