    Manly Private Health Cover Issue

    Has anyone heard about the Sea Eagles having issues with private health cover for their players? What I heard sounded, well it didn't sound good, especially considering we are the reigning Premiers. I don't want to go into everything I've been told just yet because personally I'm hoping it's a...

    History says 1 GF Qualifier is certain to miss out in 2012!

    Since the 2002 season, every year at least one of the final four teams in the two Grand Final Qualifiers haven't made it to the semi finals the following year. Some teams have even gone on to finish in the bottom 2 in the next season. This is the list of Grand Final Qualifying Finalists...

    Grand Final Qualifiers to CRASH!

    Every year at least one team from the final four grand final qualifiers crashes out of the top eight the next season. Actually last year we had two crash out in the Gold Coast Titans (last) and the Sydney Roosters (somewhere else). Who will it be out of Manly, New Zealand, Melbourne and...

    How do we fix bad forward pass calls?

    How can we fix this forward pass issue. It seems to be getting worse. Ever since that Jarryd Hayne American Football pass last year, it seems that the forward passes are being called good, and many backward legal passes are somehow being called forward like the Nth Qld pass against the gold...

    Big League on Pg 52 - Leave it to Beaver

    This weeks Big League Round 9 edition. Melinda Gainsford-Taylor has flashbacks about the Beaver. Then comes the main picture, Ricko tackling from behind. In the mighty Pepsi jersey, that's not Steve Menzies... looks like a young and skinny Jack Elsegood wearing headgear. Well done Big...

    Manly Membership on the UP!

    Manly already has reached a membership figure that is 143% of the total figure last season. Great news, and fantastic support, considering the season is still four weeks away. I'm expecting the NRL to smash season long crowd records this year. Go Game.

    What teams are on the rise?

    What teams do you think are up and coming in the next few years... basically developing into real deal dominating Premiership contenders in the mould of the Melbourne's and Manly's that dominated over a three year period. Obviously Saints look to be already there, but who do you see as coming...

    Main Difference Between Aus & NZ

    The difference between NZ & Australia... there is never an underlying fear that the Kiwis will easily run away with the contest. A little like Origin, when NSW won three straight series... the concept was dying, doom and gloom, the media were bleating about how this could have happened. If...

    Suspensions

    I understand Luke Lewis lifted past the horizontal point but it ended without drama and the tackle was seriously only worth a warning. Does anyone else think this current points system is rubbing out players way too early. It appears that it doesn't take much of an offence to reach 100 points...

    STORM - Players about to hit Point Break

    I went to the Parra v Storm game tonight, as an independant observer invited to a box, no dramas, expecting a great game. Yeah, I got plenty of entertainment, actually really enjoyed the match. However something I'm seeing when I watch the Storm is concerning me. I saw a bit of it in the...

    24000 Crowd, Well Done Melbourne

    Todays crowd figure goes a long way to show the amount of incredibly good work the Melborne Storm RLFC has done down in Victoria. That the Storm had so many young up starts playing in their team tonight plus the early injury to Aiden Tolman against a Warriors team with everything to play...

    Who's in line for the NSW Captaincy??

    Origin is about leadership. Fittler, Daley, Mortimer were great leaders for great teams and any words written about the king Lewis wouldn't do his legendary leadership justice. We need a real leader this year or the alternative may be down the barrel of a gun holding the fifth series bullet.

    Stats say one of the TOP FOUR will collapse in 2010!

    Here's an interesting stat. Since 2002 at least one of the final four remaining preliminary final clubs have either produced numbing results the following seasons or absolutely collapsed in a heap. Below is a list of the four finalists since 2002. In (brackets) are the finishing positions the...

    Make Clubs Strong Make the BIG GAME BIGGER!

    This is a little long but I reckon it's a golden opportunity and a chance to really put it out there at a time when the great game of Rugby League is on the edge of a dream. People talk of the large fan base in the AFL, we have the same fan base, arguably we have one even bigger when you...

    NSW Origin Captain?

    Who's in line, there really doesn't appear to be any clear cut options. Willie Mason is no certainty to even start at this stage. Kurt Gidley would have to start to get the job. Paul Gallen... now that would be interesting. Trent Barrett, he's got to get in first. Braith Anasta, the...
