    Best rookie team since 1988

    Since it is the off season i thought i would ask which was the best rookie class of the past 30 years. My criteria is the season in which they debuted rather than when they were still eligible for rookie of the year so Jamayne Isaako is in the 2017 team not 2018 and Matt Seers 1993 not 1994 etc...

    What if the World Club Challenge happened in 1994 ?

    In 1994 both the English and Australian Rugby League had 16 teams in it's premier club competition. How would a world club challenge have gone ? Would it have been more competitive ? how many English sides would have beaten their Australian counter parts ? Where would Wigan have finished in the...

    Rugby League coaches and the best sides they brought through.

    The idea for this thread began in the off-season when i was reading a thread title labelled the worst coaches of all time. There were some ridiculous suggestions such as Tim Sheens and others so i set about finding out who the worst coach of all time was. During this research i was going...

    Worst Teams Ever

    Follow up from the minor premiership one. A couple of people requested it and I was actually contemplating it myself. A few notes, like the minor premiership thread i have based these all on points and point differential. I know that isn't completely accurate I am not entirely sure when points...

    A history of the minor premiership

    For the past few days in my spare time. I have been looking back at the history of the minor premiership and who was leading the competition throughout history. So thought i would share it with the forum. 1908 Balmain - 1 round Souths - 2 rounds Easts - 1 round Glebe - 1 round Easts (2) - 2...

    Best club side since 1988 (without rep players)

    Since it is the off season and the World Cup will be ending shortly. I thought i would pose this question for the forum. I did my best picking these squads but if you can find anyone who you think should be included you can name them. I will go over my criteria for selection. Ineligible...

    Which has been Manly's greatest era ? (excluding 70's)

    This is a thread i have been contemplating for a couple of years. Tonight after defeating South Sydney, Manly will appear in their 4th Grand Final in the past seven seasons. Whilst everyone considers the Manly side of the 70's to be there greatest ever they won 4 premierships in 1972,1973,1976...

    Round 1 - Your Conclusions

    Since we have a Paul Carige award for the worst play or player of the weekend. I thought i would try and start a weekly thread of questions about the previous round. If it is popular i will make such a thread after every Monday night game every week. Best player by position in round 1 ...

    Player's thoughts

    Given channel 9's hilarious coverage of Sonny Bill Williams thoughts before entering the field of play. Which other current or former players thoughts would you have liked to have heard broadcasted before coming onto the field and what would they be ? For me hearing Martin Lang's thoughts of...

    How well will the Gold Coast Titans do in 2012 ?

    Gold Coast have recruited heavily in the off season bringing in some decent signings, obviously the biggest signing is Jamal Idris who they have spent a big chunk of money on and who has to deliver on his potential whilst at the Titans. For me the best signing is Douglas who will be able to...

    How well will Cronulla do in 2012 ?

    Cronulla for me are a team which has been building towards being a decent team for the past 2 seasons now, they finally have a bit of spark and creativity. In saying that though the sharks in a way are the most polarizing team in the NRL for this season. They certainly have the potential to...

    How well will the Bulldogs do in 2012 ?

    The Bulldogs have made the two most interesting signings for 2012. Des Hasler has proven himself to be a top shelf coach with Manly and if he can win a premiership with the Dogs he will undoubtedly be lauded as one of the greatest coaches of all time. The Bulldog's other major signing is also...

    How well will the Canberra Raiders do in 2012 ?

    following on from the Brisbane Broncos one, i thought i would do two teams a week. Canberra will be looking to bounce back from a poor season last season, they are quite strong, in my opinion they are certainly a top 8 side on paper. Looking at the squad, You have one of the best 5 fullbacks...

    How well will Brisbane do in 2012 ?

    We already had a Souths one which may have been more a lol at Souths thing. So i thought why not pose the same question about every team this season starting with Brisbane ? Brisbane for me is one of the toughest sides to predict this season, obviously the main query will be who will be given...

    Best of the past 25 years 1986-2011

    I have had a fair bit of time on my hands this past week so i decided i would try and write down the best team each club could provide over the past 25 years. The teams might not be completely accurate or balanced i more used merit which is why some teams have 2 backs on the bench. I was...

    The 5,6,7,8's.

    I think most people at the moment would reach a consensus that the top 5 is pretty much already decided. Top 5 Melbourne Manly St George Illawarra Brisbane/North Queensland. This should be the top 5 to end the season. The race for the last 3 places in the 8 should be relatively exciting...
