    Wooooooohooooooo Wallabies........

    Sorry Hazy, I get myself worked up.Apart from crap media coverage, rugby league undersells and under promotes itself. Basically a joke governing body (RLIF) and division in control in australia, england and france is of no help at all, but all is not lost . As previously mentioned the potential...

    Henry Paul

    Check out this comment by wannabe coach eddie jones in todays telegraph " You would target the guys who can threaten the line but at the same time be able to use their passing skills" , " And there's not many players in rugby league that have that ability to do both". Now he's talking about...

    The NRL selling the AMNRL

    G'day Roopy, to see AMNRL games on foxtel , how good would that be! The best RL, the NRL, beamed into north america plus awareness of the fact that some americans not only watch but play the game, an exponential explosion of exposure. Imagine Matty Johns leading the sharks to victory over the...

    Wooooooohooooooo Wallabies........

    Hazy, can't we get our own back. We'll see if any of the media ridicule this game for it's scoreline, it's small crowd, it's existance! It shits me that fox friggin sports has this game twice today, a NZ club game and a pommie club game of union but when the kangaroos played PNG , nothing...

    no chance of 2002 roo tour anyway

    I'm sure it has been mentioned but next year the kiwis are touring GB so a kangaroo tour might have been somewhat difficult to accomodate. Hopefully the 2001 (unfortunately shortened ) tour is back on.Lastly time to clean out the dead wood running the ARL and the IRLF, cheers global13.

    Anasta on union

    Sorry about the font style , I'm computer semi- literate. I hit something , tried to restore the original font and the one I got looked similar until I sent it, cheers, Global13.

    Anasta on union

    Saturday's SMH had an article on Braith Anasta. In it it states the selection trials for both the aussie league and union under 16's came at the same time. Some quotes from the article, "I stopped playing union that day. My union coach said I would regret it. I haven't." "I have a lot of...

    What price a Sharks v Eels Grand Final?

    Although I'm a sharks supporter I'm still nervous. I remember '95, '96 , ( I don't count '97), '99, even 2000 ( we struggled to make the finals , were blitzing brisbane but got run down ). This end of the year they are looking good but as they say I aint counting my chickens 'til they hatch...

    Getting to know you

    1) Cronulla sharks, London broncos, Kurnell stingrays and the now defunct Bundeena bushrangers (no they weren't an NRL team). 2) Liverpool FC (born there), otherwise underdogs in anything. 3) Sutherland shire, sydney. 4) Touch footy, lapsed hapkido novice, mental yoga ( long time not done but...

    The future of international rugby league?

    Thanx MFC, I'm just troubled by the tentative nature of many of these fixtures. I remember the USRL going to jacksonville and all the big plans, overseas teams playing there and then some sort of split. The world 9's or 7's in south africa then nothing. The kangaroo tour , no french game cos the...

    The future of international rugby league?

    I'd like to hear what others may have heard, read, have inside knowledge, know etc, etc about future rugby league internationals. What tournaments, tours, series, games , whatever are on the agenda? I know there are plenty of places to locate upcoming events but so many seem never to eventuate...

    We are our own worst enemy

    What do we need? A national competion without teams being created, dissolved, merged, relocated every year or so. The NRL seems directionless, maybe due to the news ltd investment stifling what is actually good for the game not themselves. Channel 9- what is their problem? Rugby league gets...

    Beattie............the worst since Boyd????

    Beattie's old school toughness is a blessing for the cronulla side, so why don't you girls get back to your doll house, cheers, Global13.

    Beattie............the worst since Boyd????

    You blokes are pathetic, go back to netball. f**k, last night on NRL on fox even daley and mortimer praised his awesome tackle on walker (the eagles should stick to whinging about their awful performances on and off the field). The alleged bite- the week before someone broke his nose, cotton...

    BEEB up to their usual tricks

    Yeah , basically these pro-union wankers are saying " we want your players in our game 'cos our game is becoming increasingly more like your game" and much of their playing "talent" is having trouble coping. Talented players these defectors are and some may do well but let's not forget the game...

    Westie Indentification......

    The sutherland shire, give me your honest opinion (applies only to sydneyites). I grew up at cronulla, then kurnell. Now live in bundeena. Kurnell and bundeena kids were often the target of many a "two-headed town" joke at school and even now by adult friends. Kurnell and from what I've been...

    Ah...so this is where the dissidents have gone??

    WORL is the place to go for news (along with totalrugbyleague and the more sporadic 13world) but the forum that early last year grabbed my attention is now just a sad reflection. Maybe it was even better before my timebut even over the past year the decline has been very quick. Why isn't the...

    League Season Overhaul

    There can never be too much footy for the fans, for the players that's not the case. Rugby league obviously causes untold wear and tear that takes more toll the longer a season is so to increase rep and international football without seriously reducing the domestic comp will see more and more...

    League Season Overhaul

    Mate, I agree, an overhaul is overdue.Both the nrl and esl seasons need shortening to allow more focus on rep and international football but the club bosses will continue to veto anything threatening club gate receipts. International rugby league needs urgent attention. The pacific region...
