    Union claiming hayne?

    LOL at anyone who thinks that Hayne is going to go over there and worry about inane code wars. He has moved well past that.

    Toulouse stadium upgrade denied?

    Surely if they got promoted they could just move into the rugby stadium in Toulouse?

    Bledisloe

    That doesn't make it a joke of a sport. All that shows is that rugby union is less popular in Australia than rugby league.

    ANZAC Test axed?

    No. The last stand alone end of season test between NZ and Australia was 2012. You are the only one who is going on about the game being scrapped. Most indications suggest it will just be moved to the end of the season and be played in addition to the 4 nations.

    ANZAC Test axed?

    If we want a game, we'll get a game. Would Samoa/Tonga rather play us or would they rather play each other?

    ANZAC Test axed?

    It was the right decision but it was done in a poor way. I simply don't understand the need for mid-season tests. It just disrupts the club competition. I prefer that all tests be left to the end of the season in a dedicated block. If SoO 2 has a dedicated weekend allotted to it then we may as...

    English lower leagues

    A marquee player is just a player who does not have to be included in the salary cap. It makes perfect sense. A marquee player in the Championship is not going to be as good as a marquee player in the Super League. It just allows those teams who attract good crowds and sponsorship to spend a bit...

    Challenge Cup 2015

    I think that Leigh have shown enough that they should be able to get promoted. It will still be a tough job but they should be able to beat one or two of the worst Super League sides in four attempts.

    NZ Expansion

    You guys are off your heads. Player numbers don't mean shit in whether or not you have a team. New Zealand is already maxed out for league talent. There are already scouts at every tournament and at every school. If we had another league team we would just be taking away young players from...

    Future NRL Stadiums

    They wouldn't get any more anywhere else in Sydney or if the ground didn't have a hill. The question is is it worth spending the millions of dollars to get rid of a hill if a team is only getting 8,000 anyway?

    2015 - a new era

    I agree with Madunit. It seems like all the games have been added on because the clubs are struggling. I think playing too many games just diminishes the quality of the product - especially in a 12 team league.

    The Guardian: "Rugby League's International Failure is Spectacular"

    It's pretty obvious that the article is not using the "Wallabies as a yardstick." They are using international rugby union as a yardstick. Say what you say but international rugby union is a far better organised sport and is a growing at a quicker rate. Most people here would love for league to...

    future world cups

    The charge for hosting did not exist for the 2011 World Cup. Only for the 2015 and 2019 ones. If you look at how fast the tickets are flying off the press in England then I doubt the IRB will ever have any problems. France, England, Australia and South Africa are big enough to have a successful...

    future world cups

    The World Cup should be about making as much money as possible. Right now it is the only way the RLIF gets any money at all. Isn't it better to hold it in England/France, make money and then put that into youth development in China then have a couple of weeks in China which the locals don't care...

    Qualification details for 2017 RLWC announced

    It's tough on Atlantic teams like Canada/Jamaica. Realistically it will be tough for them to beat the USA but they have no second chance. This is a fantastic chance for Lebanon but I think we need a competitive qualification process.

    2015 - a new era

    My main problems with the Magic Weekend right now are that it distorts the competition by making some teams play 3 times. It also doesn't do what it was meant to in develop the game. With only 12 Super League teams there would definitely be a chance to add in a few more. You could have a French...

    2015 - a new era

    I'm not saying they should make extravagant profits - I'm saying they should invest in the grass roots. You seem to think that giving clubs a higher grant in central funding is more important than ensuring juniors play the game. This is evident by you vowing to cut about 6 million pounds from...

    2015 - a new era

    The ifs, buts and maybes you object to are what I call financial literacy and basic economics. You are asking for an organisation to spend over 10 million extra pounds each season without any compensatory increase in revenue or drop in expenditure somewhere else. What's more you want to...

    2015 - a new era

    I'm in favour of a 9's competition to replace the magic weekend. I think the main problem with that weekend is that it means some teams play each other 3 times so it creates disparities. I also think a 9's competition may get more non-Super league fans involved. It would also give a lot of...
