    NZ Public Enemy No1 : Q Cooper

    When the kiwis play in aussie against a 3rd party all the aussies cheer for the kiwis, but when aussie plays a 3rd team over here, the kiwi crowds all cheer for the opposition. Ireland doing a good job against the wallabies tonight.

    Tom Brady is God.

    Well, if you looked closely you would see a helluva lot more than just the players on the sideline. Other teams have subs who may be called upon at any time, but do they need to hang around on the sideline beforehand? For a game that takes 3 or 4 hours to complete when the actual playing time is...

    Tom Brady is God.

    American football is a strange mixture of the professional and the amateur. For starters, the helmets have hardly changed in 50 years. Why haven't they modernised them,; surely there's a modern material that is strong enough to protect the head but also wafer thin? Instead they look clunky and...

    Ritchie still the best...

    You have got to be kidding. I've got better things to do with my time than provide evidence for the patently obvious.

    Ritchie still the best...

    Bullshit. The games have been exciting and entertaining in spite of ambiguous rules and fickle refs. It is the players who make the game good, not the officials. I daresay you could find a similar article saying similar things at a comparable stage in any of the last 3 or 4 world cups.

    The troll Dump thread *insert cool name here*

    I'm not sticking-up for anyone. I'm questioning the logic behind EA's criticisms.

    The troll Dump thread *insert cool name here*

    Where does it say that members must be positive about league? If someone wants to spend their whole time on here criticizing league then more power to 'em. More fool you for getting worked-up about it.

    Ritchie still the best...

    Yeah, Ritchie's still the best but does anyone actually believe that Dan carter is really injured? 'Back injury', my arse. I mean, what do the coaches think we are - stupid?

    Rugby World Cup - Most Overrated Event in World Sport?

    Too right. You dont suit my personal bias either...

    Those helmets look stoopid.

    Rugby World Cup - Most Overrated Event in World Sport?

    It means that a game can still be won on penalties alone. When was the last time a game of league was won on penalty kicks alone? I'm not making a value-judgement on the merits or otherwise of winning by penalties, but if the opposing side has prevented the scoring of tries through illegal play...

    Rugby World Cup - Most Overrated Event in World Sport?

    Yup, the two-point penalty will never happen. Union is one of the few games that still values the penalty kick; to change it now would move union closer to league - and the rugby unions certainly don't want that.

    Sky at it again

    I know Halligan gets a little tongue-tied now and again, and occasionally blurts out incomprehensible gibberish (but then, don't they all), he is knowledgeable about the game and frequently offers insights that his co-commentators miss entirely. Barnett is okay, I guess, Guttenbeil... Betham are...

    Sky at it again

    Well I'd imagine that the NZ version only gets the games and footage that Fox in Aussie make available. In other words, our coverage is reliant on the Fox network's product - I'd be surprised to find SkyNZ purchasing product that Fox hasn't also picked up. But if you mean the way the different...

    Sky at it again

    Aren't they the same company? Fox in Australia is Sky in NZ.

    How do you figure that? I'm no fan of his.

    RWC: Australia V. Italy

    Looking better in the 2nd half. Italy are no easy-beats - even for a southern hemisphere heavyweight.

    Rugby World Cup - Most Overrated Event in World Sport?

    A better question to ask at halftime of the Italian game: Australia - the most overrated team at the world cup?

    Sky at it again

    No I haven't seen 'em. After last night's performance I doubt anything I see today could give me a rise.
