    League unfashionable in Sydney?

    i tend to disagree, there are a number of factors affecting crowds and even 10% fluctuation (off an incredible 12% rise the year before) probably doesn't mean much. I have teenage kids and the interest in league among their friends is still very strong. As one kid who goes to a poncy school told...

    Time to Flick the Storm

    Is Dr Death really Paul Simpkins? It would explain a lot about his performance in the GF.

    How long before ...

    I have noticed lots of young Asian faces in the crowd at broadcast games this year so the communities are following the game. I also love seeing the Muslim women at Bulldogs games in their veils. Richard Chi Quee's family have lived in Australia for a long time (several generations), they used...

    Top 3 grounds in Oz

    can't comment about interstate 1. Brookie - on a sunny Sunday 2. WIN - at night 3. Leichhardt - with a stop-off at the pub on the way home. All great atmosphere when full with friendly fans. I notice no-one likes Cronulla, for some reason the design of the hill is terrible, can't see the...

    Sea Eagles' World offer

    Manly has won more premierships than Parra, Manly have appeared in more GFs than Parra Manly have never been wooden spooners while Parra proudly hold the record for most consecutive wooden spoons (1956-1961) I am not sure how you define 'great' but it won't include Parramatta.

    As Australians what do you think ?

    I think SOO eligibility is based on where you played your first junior league, so why not allow players to play SOO and then be eligible to play for their country of birth (eg NZ). Similarly, for the many players who have pacific islander background but who can also play for OZ or NZ, why not...

    No haka disrespect, just joking- Willie Mason

    I reckon the Hokey-Pokey would be a good response to the Haka, better than swearing in front of millions of people - Willie may or may not be dumb or a cat but he lacks class.

    2 Group NRL comp needed

    once again "Marshall (sic) Stalin" reveals himself as a fraud by his misuse of the apostrophe - "bronco's" ? bronco, who is this signor bronco and what does he own. His avatar is full of poor grammar and misplaced apostrophes; something no true child of the Soviet Union would display; communism...

    League headed to foot of class

    His resume indicates he is a pommy sociologist and his papers are full of post-modernist bull. I would suspect he is a rugger bugger with the usual hatred of both rugby league and the working class. Of all the codes in Australia union is going backwards at a very rapid rate so expect more of...

    Lowes view on Yawnion

    The R in NRL stands for rugby, just like the R in ARU. Both games are forms of rugby, its just that one is much better than the other. Incidentally, the word league was used because the players wanted an actual competition (ie a league table), the rugger administrators were so up themselves they...

    RL Facts and Figures: 2006 TV Ratings

    Geez Ice 777 you must be a youngster; the 'Barrasi Line' was an imaginary line through southern NSW roughly along the Riverina and witha bump up to Lake Cargellico and across to Broken Hill with AFL (or VFL in those days) dominating South of the line and League dominating to the North. I think...

    2006 // Crowd Watch

    so in 2006 NRL crowds were down 5.3% or 867/game with a total drop of 156000. AFL crowds were down 1.3% or 445/game with a total drop of 78000. However, 2005 was a huge jump in NRL numbers and 2006 is the 2nd best year ever and up 6.3% on 2004 (the 3rd best year ever). Biggest Losers...

    Gallop gornnn?

    Gallop has been great and given the game credence at difficult times (eg Coffs), a News Ltd. puppet? they do 'own' 50% so cooperation is essential. Ignore those silly soccer & AwFuL twits, their desire to 'rule the world' reveals their innate insecurity. League's great strength is its...

    hang me for saying this but the NRL needs to go national or go down the drain

    simple solution shut down the bulldogs completely and set up new team in perth. a win/win situation as we would lose the team causing the most player behaviour/salary cap rort and crowd problems - whose gonna miss em.

    Faumuina may fly to Sea Eagles

    sorry, should rephrase it to "if they sack mattai", i hope he is cleared and i think he is potentially a great player; the point is that players with alcohol/drug/behaviour related issues are generally poison. I would like to see these guys rehabilitate themselves but it is seemingly very rare...

    Faumuina may fly to Sea Eagles

    Manly will probably have spare money once they sack Mattai for his turps related offence. Surely we have had our fingers burnt too many times with players like Walker and Hoppa. Once a dickhead, always a dickhead so adopt the Swans policy "no dickheads".

    Russia v Georgia Match On Again

    Marshall Stalin's poor use of the apostrophe makes me suspect he is a fraud, as no child of the Soviet Union's education system would make such repeated errors. One thing socialism stands for is good grammar and punctuation, otherwise we sink to the level of capatilist barbarians.

    Farewell.................Good-BYE

    please, show the bye some respect. It was a foundation competitor in 1908 and was involved in the comp from 1920-29, 1935-37 and 1984-87 prior to the latest run. Thats not a bad history: better than the Crushers, the Reds and the Rams combined. My only question, what is the bye's home ground?
