    6 nations instead of 4 nations idea

    For international league to be able to really grow the NRL and ESL need to compress and there needs to be more of a mid season window as well as the end of season stuff. That would allow both the big three to have games against each other but also for the big 3 to play games against other...

    What the hell? RLIF proposing anyone can play for any qualifying country

    The more games... evening out the money.. the televising games (especially with the new 24 hour Fox channel coming up) and the Origin not tying people to AUS but keeping the same rules.. They are things that if all of them happened at once it could catapult the international game forward...

    France vs England

    Yeah it is time for another game.. it's ok if France end up getting beaten comfortably.. they need to play that opposition so they can know what level they need to get too.. One day though.. when France is on and England a bit off an upset might happen and do wonders for the game!!

    Origin - Disrespectful to the Kangaroos?

    Yeah it is weird.. I was at the game and though it's great to be there it really wasn't a great game.. Many strait after the game admitted as much but as the week has gone on the commentators have been more and more talking up how great of a "contest" it was.. It really wasn't.. I have also...

    4 Nations Injury Watch: Foran out for season, NZ done?

    Yeah and they struggle overseas.. I can see England doing really well in the 4 nations but for NZ, At the moment, They need their best side!! Depth is a problem for NZ and it will be hard to maintain the high standard long term unless they can get a second team in the NRL.. Wish they would be...

    20 teams. 19 rounds.

    The reason that less rounds is important is to make room for Rep games.. 1stly State of Origin on stand alone weekends.. Secondly Pacific cup on at the same time giving Pacific nations 3 games in the middle of the season (and possibly England NZ).. Thirdly a substantial international window and...

    The americas cup

    Yeah keeping it going is massively important but if this can be done then the next step is getting a 4th nation in there.. That would be a huge step forward in the Americas..

    Fijian team for the NSW cup?

    It does seem as though the NRL has decided that expansion will happen at the lower level's of Rugby league for now but in that expansion it will actually be growing the game significantly... There is talk that the NRL is looking at a conference style system in the future.. One of my questions...

    What the hell? RLIF proposing anyone can play for any qualifying country

    I understand why they are looking at the idea.. the idea quickly brings up several pacific nations to speed with the top 3 nations or at least close too.. It does feel a bit odd though having no restrictions.. This idea helps the pacific nations who have lots of genuine islanders who also...

    Another PNG Hunters Player signs for a NRL Club

    This is beautiful.. Melbourne Storm.. for all I haven't liked about them (wrestling, cheating and full of talented Queenslanders) are doing huge things for international development.. They have stolen talented Rugby players from NZ Union and given Islanders a go.. Watching Justin Olam at the...

    Pacific Test has future alongside State of Origin

    John Grant has said that he wants to try and start paying the other nations something proper for playing tests so money is not such an issue in people wanting to play for the bigger nations.. I think.. Simply.. that they should stop paying Australia.. because the Australians already get Origin...

    I would like feedback - Domestic Quota Rule for Internationals

    After watching the PNG vs Fiji game last night and seeing the Domestic winger from FIJI score 3 tries and a bunch of the hunters cause an upset and play so well.. I'm sold on enforcing some sort of domestic competition rule.. Partly because it is more interesting and creates great stories and...

    I would like feedback - Domestic Quota Rule for Internationals

    I have been taking time to think over this and here is my thoughts... 1stly.. I think what you say has merit.. Especially looking at a place like Spain and how they are trying to get things going.. I think though the one place this might hurt is the Pacific Islands where economic immigration and...

    ANZAC/Pacific Test Match Ticket Watch

    It should sell out!! Surely!! But if it doesn't and then if the Pacific tests can draw a good crowd.. what does that say? Aus NZ over priced? people are sick of the same 2 teams playing each other? or that there actually is a growing market for the Pacific nations and Aus isn't the centre of...

    Pacific players buck trend & tell City-Country to get stuffed!

    The tide I think is turning.. slowly.. It could be sped up immensely if the Pacific Islands teams had more matches.. The pacific tests this year have had a bigger profile then the City Country games and... sadly enough but at least part of the reason people will pick the Pacific Tests is because...

    Australian Team v New Zealand

    The residency thing IS!! the thing when it comes to Australia or England for that matter because the majority of the best players in the world have to move to either one to play! It's an unfair advantage and not helpful at all when Australia already dominates.. It creates huge issues because Sam...
