    QLD 2024 BMD Premiership

    Auckland RL regularly reconfigure their women's comp. Every year they have to assess the impact of an ongoing exodus across the ditch.

    Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

    Might help if NRL media would stop using the word "Rugby" to specifically refer to the game of Rugby Union.

    You're a great advert for Fumble. Keeps thousands of angry degenerates off the streets.

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    Bit tricky comparing the women's fumbly thing with the NRLW GF. One, a standalone event. The other, part of a day-long extravaganza. This list underlines the importance of Origin to Women's RL. Massive crowd and ratings triumph in 2024. Could be even better next year. Popularity will plateau...

    Commentators - Good and Bad

    As previously mentioned, the Henderson Gill clips are from a YouTube channel called "Rugby League & Eagle Eric". Views normally in hundreds. One of the more popular vids, currently running at 14k, is titled "Saint Tommy serves it up to Rex". Well worth a watch.

    Commentators - Good and Bad

    Sorry, only just seen this question. Apparently, Karen Tighe began working for ABC Sports in 1989. So the answer would appear to be no. This Channel 10 female reporter pops up in a picture inset wearing headphones and delivering (has to be said, not particularly incisive) side-line comments in...

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    Two results for England Women this year - England 82 Wales 0 and France 0 England 42. Encapsulates our dilemma. Far too good for anyone in the NH, but expected to struggle next year against the Jillaroos. Several Welsh players were missing due to RU commitments. Wales beat Netherlands to...

    Old Rules

    Heavily lopsided penalty and 6-again stats superficially give an impression that one team got "the raw end of the stick". Specifics are required to substantiate a conclusion of bias. I thought in the first half Liam Moore let too many Samoan ruck infringements slide. Some of their unchecked...

    Old Rules

    Different SH opposition, different Pommy refs. The former is the culpable common denominator.

    Old Rules

    Could easily have been double or triple that number. Every pen and 6-again would have been called by an NRL ref. And then some. Except the Samoans wouldn't have tried it on with an Aussie. This always happens with SH teams and Pommy refs. Tonga were the same last year. BTW and FWIW, lest you...

    We prefer the 2014 Rorke's Drift anniversary game. Clip of the late drama in Melbourne was posted again on TRL just last week. Commemorative jerseys, Ryan Hall, downward pressure, the Suttons.

    Old Rules

    That's the one. Lessons from RL history - Australian self-interest and dirty tricks are almost as old as NSWRL.

    Old Rules

    The contested 8-man Union scrum is prone to collapse inwardly. The contested 6-man League scrum, shorn of the stabilizing effect of flankers, is prone to skew outwardly. Splitting head and feed meant the scrum-half was aiming for the hooker furthest away. Which, at least in theory, made the...

    In which case, the 1914 test series must have been played under Pommy rules. We were reduced to 10 men in the third test and still won. Australia 6 Northern Union 14.

    Old Rules

    On the subject of different rules in England and Oz - Some fans over here think the value of a drop/field goal was reduced from 2 points to 1 in 1971 after 4 were kicked by Leigh in the Challenge Cup final against Leeds. In fact, we made the change in 1974. However, NSWRL did implement the...
