    Bennett back to Broncos in 2011?

    Good to see I am being bagged by one set of Dragons supporters for allegedly completely making up a rumour with no substance whatsoever and by a different Dragons supporter for rehashing a rumour that everyone reckons has been around for months. Yet again I'll congratulate the Dragons on being...

    Bennett back to Broncos in 2011?

    Worth reading this: http://www.backpagelead.com.au/league/2697-drought-breaking-dragons-celebrate-with-a-snarl#comment-84222212 Steve Mascord agreeing that Bennett is one of, if not the, best coach of all time, but that his methods repeatedly include deception to get what he wants. In this...

    "THEIR premiership famine finally over, St George Illawarra will turn their attention to retaining the man who delivered them long-awaited relief, amid speculation Wayne Bennett may pack up and return to Brisbane next year."...

    Bennett back to Broncos in 2011?

    At least you have had to change your comeback from "what a joke there is nothing in this" to "the media are speculating but I'm sure he'll stay". Apologies for creating this thread a few days before mainstream newspaper articles appeared on the subject. For the record: Wayne Bennett is one of...

    Archer wins the grand final

    Three bookmakers taking bets on the NRL Grand Final, Sportingbet, Centrebet and Betfair, have offered to refund money to all punters who wagered money on Tony Archer to win the Clive Churchill medal. Whilst they will also pay bets wagered on the medal winner, Darius Boyd, they will refund money...

    Bennett back to Broncos in 2011?

    Read this plus Sun-Herald if you want more humour: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/dragons-desperate-to-retain-bennett-20101004-164di.html At least if Bennett goes, the Dragons have an obvious replacement in Tony Archer. The support staff might be in a bad position though, as...

    2011 NRL Draw?

    Would also make sense for them to give the exact dates of all matches which I expect they won't do!

    2011 NRL Draw?

    There is an NRL membership 2011 function tonight. Would make sense for them to announce the draw at this function, which I expect they will do

    Bennett back to Broncos in 2011?

    The intro was a bit of a piss take, but if you put two and two together then there is a fair chance something could be happening. Remember the last time Wayne Bennett was in Grand Final week, he was deep in discussions with the Roosters about breaking his Broncos contract and moving south. The...

    Bennett back to Broncos in 2011?

    Wayne Bennett has done a great job creating a St George team in his own image in the past two years. Off the field: Give the media nothing On the field: Try to milk a penalty in the ruck on every play and, if that fails, kick the ball to the corner rather than give the ball to the centres...

    2011 NRL Draw?

    Foxtel pay the AFL twice as much money per game than the NRL, for a game which rates far worse on pay TV. And this is for a fixed schedule rather than a rolling schedule. The key to getting good TV rights is a fair bidding process. The AFL has an open bidding process and gets top market price...

    How much will St George win the penalty count by?

    The rule which will advantage the Saints most is the stripping rule. In every game there are 4-6 instances where there is a hand somewhere near the ball in the ruck and the player with the ball spills it. These decisions are 50/50 as to whether they are lost balls or strips. Because the...

    How much will St George win the penalty count by?

    St George = best penalty differential in the NRL, score the most tries on the back of penalties Roosters = worst penalty differential in the NRL, win most matches if they get 50/50 ball & often lose if they get hammered in the penalty count. Most GFs will have low penalties (in the Harrigan...

    Robert Finch: we got it wrong - AGAIN

    Robert Finch's public stance doesn't do anything to appease Roosters supporters that think that he has had a personal thing against the club. A few weeks ago - when the Roosters copped about five 50/50 or worse video ref decisions in a row - Finch either said nothing or defended the...

    Why should we trust a News Ltd club on the salary cap?

    If we accept that, at this stage, no one really knows whether Greg Inglis' extremely complicated contract with the Broncos is fully salary cap compliant, we have to take it on trust that News/the Broncos/Inglis would not be trying to rort the system and, if they were, that the NRL wouldn't let...
