    What Happened to France RL??

    When France was under the Vichy regime during WW2, some senior officials of the French rugby union were mates with some big shots in the regime, and managed to have the 13 man game banned. All of FFR13's property and assets were confiscated. They've never really recovered. The whole nasty...

    Rather Penrith than Prague

    It was the bit about no pubs that got me. The Czech Republic has the highest per capita consumption of beer in the world, and the beers are some of the world's best. If you went to Prague with no intention seeing any of the historical sights, you could literally spend days going from beer...

    NZ v France, Aus v France: TV coverage?

    Does anyone know if these Tests are being televised? Considering the Aus v USA match is being televised, it would be a shame if the Test against one of the oldest rugby league nations isn't.

    "I'd rather be in Penrith"

    No pubs in Prague!?! He mustn't have been looking very hard. That place is the beer drinking capital of Europe. You get half litres of some of the best beer you could imagine for about 50 cents, and the beer halls are everywhere. Those sort of comments are an embarassment for the game.

    USA - Montana Rugby League

    It's not just the first half, it's the whole game you can watch on the NRL website. It's a godsend to any Aussie footy fan living overseas; kept my footy appetite sated when I was living in England for a couple of years.

    The beginning of the end ...

    I'm an Aussie through and through, but go the Lions!! For the sake of the game.

    Kangaroos vs Lions next week...

    If you don't mind a bit of a plug, the structural design of the stadium was done by engineering firm Arup (my company!) and the architecture by Arup Associates (our architectural practice). The main engineer on the project is the head of our office here in Sydney, and he also did the Sydney...

    Sonny Boy Williamson

    Sonny Boy Williamson was the name of two unrelated American blues singers, one from about the 30s I think and the other from the 50s-60s (also a good harmonica player). Eddie must be a blues fan!

    You simply wouldn't believe it

    Good points Bengal, but I disagree slightly. I don't think just any old Kiwi who lives in Oz should be allowed to play Origin, otherwise you could have a a player who's played all his career for the Warriors, for instance, switching to a Sydney club and suddenly being eligible for NSW. My...

    Millions tune in to grand final

    Great figures, but it highlights the fact that the NRL has to push for a live telecast in Adelaide and (especially) Perth for the big one. Actually, ALL the semis should be shown live around the country as well, which shouldn't be too diffucult, as all the AFL finals are on Ten anyway.

    who r u supporting

    Don't care, as long as it's not Australia. A GB or NZ win would be great for the game; our continual dominance is not healthy.

    Can someone tell me why....

    As well as copying the mascot of the all-conquering French tourists of the 1950s, the copied the jersey. The main jersey they wear today is still very similar to the French jersey, before that they wore the red, white and blue hoops that they currently wear a few times a year. And they rarely...

    What ESL players could cut it in the NRL?

    CC Eagle you are an idiot. Don't bother contributing if your contributions are going to be as arrogant and silly as that. There are plenty in Rugby Super League who could play first grade in the NRL. To name a few.... Fielden Peacock Senior Farrell Sculthorpe Carney Gleeson...

    Grand Final Tickets

    I think some should be released in advance as they are now, but they should hold back a lot more than the 8000 until Grand Final week. e.g 40 000 in advance, 10 000 to season ticket holders on the Monday before the GF, the rest to everyone else on the Tuesday. Only selling 8000 to the...

    Crowd for Canterbury v Penrith?

    Does anyone have a latest estimate on the crowd for tomorrow? If you've bought a ticket today, what is the PAX number on the ticket? It would be a shame if it didn't sell out, it promises to be a ripper!
