    Wayne again?

    Based on what Politis has said about Souths, he'd refer them to the former board members of the Parramatta Eels :p

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

    IIRC, clubs have to hold off announcements until the "last offer" chance expires or is not taken up by the player's club. If a player re-signs with a club, there is no cooling off period anymore.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    I don't think money is quite the issue for him. Yes he can earn more by going to RU, but based on what he has said publicly I think he just wants a new challenge of doing something different, and he doesn't want to play for another NRL club. He knows if he stayed at the Roosters, financially...

    Rumours and Stuff

    Female Refs

    Rugby league laws are not black and white. Many of them are subject to the "advantage rule". When you start refereeing junior rugby league, it is hammered into you, except where no advantage is permitted (e.g. kick-off at the start of the game), you are advised to wait and see if any advantage...

    Female Refs
