    Time for a true BRL Grand Final?

    When they brought in the Queensland Cup in 1996 the QRL had the right idea to try and still award a BRL team as the BRL premiers. The only problem was they took the wrong approach with finals overkill so when Redcliffe and Easts, who played in the 1997 Qld Cup, played again in the 1997 BRL Grand...

    Easts could be the first winners at both State and National level

    Easts have an amazing opportunity to have a shot at an unique achievement. Should they win the Grand Final and then go on to beat the NSW Cup premiers then they become both the first team to win at the State level (they won the first Qld State League comp back in 1982) as well as the first...

    What are members' thoughts on the World Club Challenge? I think it is ridiculous that it is played the year after the contestants win the NRL and SL. I also think that English clubs have been getting an unfair advantage for too many years having it played over in England all the time between...

    USA International games

    Does anyone know what upcoming USA Tomahawks there are in future? I would very much like to see the European Cup expand to include the USA and Canada. Would be great seeing the USA have a shot at the 4th spot in the Four Nations tournament.
