    Willie Orwonte signs with Manly

    SBW half brother Willie Orwonte has just been announced as Manly's latest signing on a two year deal. Being an SBW half brother that means he could be playing Union after 1 or not play league at all.

    Crusher comments on behalf of a 'Parrot'

    This message is delivered on behalf of a “Parrot’ I’m disgusted and horrified by the amount of on field flatulence in the game of Rugby League. Just last week I witnessed a Roosters player, who shall remain namesless, spread his legs and assume the flatuli position. As much as it may have...

    Nothing can kill Rugby League

    Isn't it great to see that despite all the controversies, incidents and negative publicity rugby league is alive and kicking at record levels. I'm astounded and pleased at the record crowds, memberships and TV numbers. This suggests to me that the fan base is strong and people are prepared...

    Dump the NBN and fund sport!

    This is a little tongue in cheek....but considering the Federal Government is so good at spending our money wouldn't it be good if they could dump or better manage some of their useless and failing projects and set aside set even 1 billion dollars (a fraction of the total federal Budget) and...

    Video Ref for forward passes?

    Given that more sophisticated hawke eye technology now exists to determine trajectory of a ball within a 4mm margin of error does anyone think this could now be applied to Rugby League for forward passes. According to Telegraph stats, in 2010 there was an average of 13.6 incidents a week (in...

    Is the NRL looking at all the right areas for further expansion?

    With all the discussion around NRL expansion in QLD, WA, Central Coast and so on a couple of areas have been totally overlooked. Not saying they should be definite inclusions but do think they deserve consideration. For example - PNG - a Rugby league playing nation almost at our doorstep...

    Is anyone a fan of the NRL being split into conferences?

    This has been talked about over the years as an option of keeping the fans interested for a longer period. Essentially, based on the previous years results, the NRL is split into two conferences of 8 team. Each team plays their own conference twice and the other once. Four teams from each...

    Legal cases launched by other clubs is inevitable.

    I've been conversing with my influencial friends in the legal fraternity who have serious concerns about the legality of the Storm continuing to play in this years conpetition. As the NRL has officially deemed the Melbourne Storm team to be 'illegal' any team which loses to them this season...

    In the end it's the NRL who have cheated the Storm!

    Any genuine rugby league fan should feel sympathy for the Storm. When I say the Storm I am referring to the players and officials that have been responsible for developing this team into the best in the league over the last few seasons. The conversations in the media, forums and around the...

    Melbourne are not cheats!

    I say this as a Manly fan so you would assume I may think otherwise. Assuming the players are not involved let's not brand the entire club as cheats based on the actions of a few irresponsible individuals Whilst thinking about that, consider how an entire club including their loyal fans have...

    What happens to the Canberra Raiders of 1990?

    Quote - Dean Lonergan (Brisbane Times) 'Three clubs in the last two decades have been busted for big salary cap rorts. In 1991, Canberra caused a stir after it was discovered they had breached the salary cap the previous year when they won the title. They were fined about $100,000 and...

    The two contract scenario

    It is alleged that players signed two separate contracts. The first being the NRl contract and the second being an 'extra's' contract which was discovered in a hidden file. This alone does not mean that these players knew what was going on however it is irregular to say the least. For a...

    These are the facts

    IT"S BLACK AND WHITE WITH A BIT OF GREY 1. The salary cap doesn't work, will never work and will always be abused. 2. Players should get what they're worth. 3. Teams need to share the talent yet retain combinations they have grown and nurtured. THIS CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED BY THE FOLLOWING 1. The...

    Here's a tip!

    I stake my house on the following. 1. Within 72 hours at least 3 Storm players will be named as having an involvement in the conspiracy. 2. Within 7 days one other club will be outed, likely two with similar but less serious breaches. 3. Within 10 days Melbourne Storm will lose 5 players...

    Cap before the storm?

    Let me start by apologising in advance for this rant. The events over the last 24-48 hours have been disappointing to say the least. I think we all agree that certain individuals within the Storm franchise have committed acts which will take the game a long time to recover from. No one is...

    Crusher returns

    But only for a moment..... I just logged in to say that while I was in New York LU always reminded me of home. I sometimes looked you up and found that Timmah was still being owned so nothing changes...except for the fact that now he's a mod. Go figure :) Now that me and the family are...

    Best Gift You've Ever Given!
