    Golden Point.........again

    Yes, it is known as the loser point. Much like NHL players know the match could take 65 minutes and possibly a shoot-out, NRL players know the match could take 90 minutes. Therefore, losing, deserves nothing. Golden point does exactly what it should. Good percentage of finding a winner within...

    Foul play like George Rose'.....

    On report is the biggest blight on RL. You don't play the rest of the game with the idea everything will be checked when it's over. No motivation for the NRL to review it, though, as more sending offs could lead to more uncompetitive games, and they know that.

    *Spoiler* First Try Tigers vs Dragons

    This is an area where the NRL has created a serious problem, through the poor application of the knock on rule. We have countless knock backs, ball dropped back etc, ruled as knock ons. It was a mis-timed kick by Marshall, but a genuine Field Goal attempt wouldn't be possible any other way...

    The officiating in the australia vs England match.

    Sheens can't be serious whinging about the referee, surely? The refereeing was disgraceful. I can see the arguments about Lewis's Try where Cronk possibly knocked on (didn't go forwards imo) and Tait possibly being on the line/bouncing it. I thought Tait bounced it. That didn't even need BOTD...

    4N: Is the demolition of PNG and the like good for the game?

    It's not good for the immediate future of RL Internationally in some aspects, but if you don't want PNG involved, then you might as well scrap International RL. Revert back to the old Tri Nations and some say it takes too long. Have it like this and people complain "no hopers" are in the...

    Kicking a field goal when behind

    There is no doubt teams don't make enough use of the FG in RL. You could bore teams into submission when in-front kicking Field Goals over and over. Score a converted try to lead by 6, add a FG. Repeat until you lead by 13. Some might think I'm crazy and over-simplifying it, perhaps, but no one...

    How many weeks will Sam Burgess get?

    He should get 4+ weeks for the offence committed. He will get 1 or 2, though.

    '10 | R20 | Sun | Rabbitohs 38-28 Warriors | ANZ

    Yep, the referees got Souths home. Forget the extra 2 points I think they "might" have had, they must have got about 22 off the two clowns in the middle.

    '10 | R20 | Sun | Rabbitohs 38-28 Warriors | ANZ

    It was high and it should have been an 8 point try if the pass was allowed to go. If the ball wasn't grounded it would have been a Penalty Try without doubt.

    Slater or Hayne

    This is the easiest question I've ever had to answer. It was so easy to answer it almost made me laugh. The Eels aren't going to make the 8 and then Mr Hayne, who's not been on planet earth since late September 2009, will return to being criticised by many. Just where has he been for nearly 10...

    Plea to England, NZ and PNG for the 4N..

    So just get Adrian Morley to try and kill everyone? Ok, I'm sure that can be arranged. But he needs to last longer than 10 seconds. That can be done judged on refereeing currently.

    another dangerous tactic by slater

    I'm fairly sure many of you are mad. Here's a new rule for you health and safety lunatics - no player can jump and must always have one foot on the ground, even when they're just naturally running. (obviously both your feet leave the ground at the same point when you do that, how...

    *Possible Spoiler* How long?

    Hopefully 6 months to a year plus a lifetime Origin ban. It was totally disgraceful and one of the worst acts EVER seen in RL.

    Wake up to yourselves

    I think it's time to laugh at those who enjoy calling Storm fans "cheats". Like any of you lot have control over your club to stop it from cheating. Just remember that for those who gloat. Maybe some of us wish Gallop and his team could have found it sooner, to stop it being like it is now...

    Bulldogs sponsor vents fury at David Gallop

    You really believe all you're told by Mr Gallop and co, don't you? Not everyone is in the same boat still for the final time. 6 teams have the pleasure of playing the Melbourne Storm once. That's possibly like 2 extra points at the end of the season. We all know why the decisions have been...

    Bulldogs sponsor vents fury at David Gallop

    At last, someone other than Phil Gould is willing to speak out and attack David Gallop's "absurd decision." Why can't some people see what a problem Gallop is in his own right?

    Slothfield vs Gould

    Slothfield's an embarrassment. He's offering the same type of personal attack on Gould that Gould apparently did to Gallop. Except, Gould's important enough to have his agenda broadcast on TV. Unlike, Slothfield who's doing his by himself in front of a computer.

    Exit stage left: News Ltd demands Storm player sale

    And that's why Gallop must be really annoyed, if not concerned. He must have believed that they had two stars of the game, who had real potential for other codes, signed up. That's a lot of the battle with the salary cap. For example, if all four end up leaving the NRL, Gould's comments seem to...

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

    When people say the club, Crusher, they really mean News Limited. You know, the company who seemingly chucked money at the club and told Wally Waldron to get on with it without knowing what was going on. Well who else can they mean?

    Exit stage left: News Ltd demands Storm player sale

    Done. I hope it makes sense, even if you don't agree with any of it.
