    PNG hunters

    What the hunters has done for the PNG national side is given them a solid core of professional players. I agree that it would be nice for more in the top leagues but i think that will come. For now they are building a really solid base and improving the national side. In 10 years time i reckon...

    Lions great claims Kangaroos are no longer No.1 in the Test arena

    I would shorten and season and use the origin period as an international window. Now, with the growth of the international game, you could easily have solid content around stand alone Origin matches. If you then shorten the season by 1 home game each club you get 2 extra weeks for...

    Lions great claims Kangaroos are no longer No.1 in the Test arena

    I would much Rather Australia play England in England and have mid week games against the other european nations than the GB Lions come over here and not play Aus with a team that is still basically England. This is England's change to build their brand at home but they seem sooo keen on...

    ENG v NZ @ KCOM Stadium // Saturday 27 October - Sunday 00h30 (AEDT) 02h30 (NZDT)

    I love the fact that English Rugby League organises are aiming high and going to bigger venues. It could be stock standard with lots of empty seats but it gives the opportunity for these events to be really successful.

    ENG v NZ @ KCOM Stadium // Saturday 27 October - Sunday 00h30 (AEDT) 02h30 (NZDT)

    The importance of this series for International Rugby League is both in developing a rivalry that the fans can really look forward too and getting these teams more and more competitive with Aus. If NZ and Eng commit to playing each other when nothing else is on in order to play 5 or 6 tests in a...

    AUS v TONGA @ Mt Smart Stadium // Saturday 20 October - 5:45PM (AEDT) 7:45PM (NZDT)

    Tonga has a crazy big forward pack, bigger than NZ's. Thats their shot at beating the Aussies, actually at the moment thats how NZ and England can beat Aus. Aus has such skill and speed that they can score amazing tries from anywhere but while they have a strong forward pack it is still the...

    Is Australia's dominance officially over?

    I hope so, but doubt it! Firstly NZ had way more possession. Secondly Aussies scored heaps of long range tries where they looked unstoppable. Latrell Mitchell scared me how good he was! Thirdly it is still the case that the only side to have beaten Aus in recent history is NZ and they just lost...

    2018 Tests - TV Details

    It would be awesome if they also broadcast the Fance NZ test and the PM's vs PNG game but this is better than a few years ago when the NZ v Eng games only got aired after a few people protested at lack of coverage.

    Emerging Nations World Championship to be Live Streamed Globally

    Watching Malta VS Phillipines. The actual fact it is a proper competition makes its really interesting. This is where Fox having a 24 RL channel could be such a great opportunity for the game but unfortunately they don't see the potential. Instead on Fox you can watch replays of the grand final.

    Fiji NSWRL Bid Update

    i hope this is happening.. suspect we wont get any announcement till the grand final hype has died down.

    NZ Herald: Tonga warm up match against New Zealand Māori in October

    Would have been better in my view to get Tonga playing another pacific team but this is a good outcome given the lack of time to get it happening. Good on Tonga!

    NZRL to block Aus v Tonga Test

    Yep... And The NZRL is only hurting itself but making unpopular decisions! If they sort out a 3 test series against Tonga in NZ it would not only make them a motza but also would get some cred back for doing so. So what if the stadium is full of Tongans!

    Championship and League 1 2018

    He seems to be speculating on Steve Mascord's speculation. Doesn't mean that it's not possible SL exclude Toronto but i don't think it's likely.

    Pacific Tests/Championships

    Yep... but hopefully the two can come together because there is money to make from this! While it shouldn't have to be at the point of making money to invest in such a venture, it is now the case that if you pick the right venue there is a great desire to see especially Tonga play. I went to the...

    Pacific Test thread

    Yes... but think it could be bigger.. in that it could have a bigger impact on the game because there is more room for it to expand and more opportunity for it to have a bigger impact... Tonga V Samoa.. 3 match series that everyone wants to watch and then.. NZ has a series with one and England a...

    NZ v Poms in US

    NZ's golden generation i think is still ahead... Madge should be amazing for them.. The pressure is off at the moment because noone expects them to do well.. Aus has just lost a bunch of players i don't think they will replace and so are coming back to the pack and the emergence of the island...

    NZ v Poms in US

    This game happening in Denver is awesome.. The idea of Eng vs NZ being declared as 'Origin for the Eng and NZ players' is great. Yes NZ Tonga would also fit that bill but at least its happening. On Talent, the Kiwis will have a talented squad even if a bunch don't play. If some don't play it...

    Predicted Test teams

    Michael Mcguire is a top notch coach! The NZ team have some quality players even if a few pull out. I doubt England will smash them.

    NRL will not force clubs to release players for Denver Test

    In hindsight, what was maybe a better move knowing that there was always going to be this issue about the Denver Test, it may have been better to Play NZ vs Tonga in NZ and look for a post season test in the US. But this should be more than doable and RL should just get behind it. If it is...
