    Alwyn Simpson

    I'm only going by the reports in today's Sunday Tele that said he has been called up from the Redcliffe Dolphins....... not the Aspley Broncos ?? Have the Broncos registered every player in the Queensland Cup as one of theirs ? The point is, if he wasn't registered by June 30, why was this...

    Alwyn Simpson

    I thought players had to be registered before June 30..... ala Ben Kennedy and the $3 contract. According to today's papers, the Broncos only signed Alwyn Simpson last week and yet he is playing in a semi final ? Did I miss something ? PS What was Bennett thinking ?

    Next week (assuming Broncos win)

    Don't you just love the McIntyre Final 8 system....... Eels reward for beating the Warriors is having to face the 1st placed Storm while the Warriors get to play the 8th placed Broncos. Some reward!

    Trial Scores - Updates

    Yeah, the League decided to get rid of conversions in the junior grades because it only encouraged the development of sh*tty players who had nothing but the ability to kick goals. Apparently Michael Witt was cited as a prime example in the decision.

    Manly's Greatest Team Announced

    Unlike other clubs (eg Penrith 40 year team), Manly did not announce a list of nominated players who were to be considered for the 60 year team. The judging panel (Ken Arthurson, Kerry Sibraa, Ian Heads and Phil Rothfield) drew up their own shortlists when considering each position, but these...

    Western Bears

    Another idea for the Bears to get back into the NRL would be for their Leagues Club and some other backers to get together and make an offer to News Ltd to buy the Melbourne Storm. Surely News Ltd would be happy to have one less team to fund. Not that I am saying the team should leave...

    Change from $5 (the Pre-Game Entertainment Price Tag)

    I like Pete Murray, but his style of music is not suited to a stadium gig. INXS have just finished their reality tv show, Rockstar INXS, to pick their new lead singer. The NRL would have really scored a coup if they could have showcased the return of INXS to Australia for their first big live...

    THE Competition Table as it stands now

    You can't just add the byes to every team because that is effectively giving an extra game to each of the teams that has yet to have the bye, thereby distorting the table in another direction. If you want to eliminate the effect of the bye, the only way to do it is to look at each team's...

    Manly board approves takeover bid

    The Broncos have 98,040,631 shares and the last traded price on the Australian Stock Exchange was 10 cents giving a Market Valuation for the Broncos of $9.8million not $12million. Not long ago, Broncos shares were trading at 8.5cents.

    Rebecca Wilson ( Well Done Choppies )

    Another place that would probably love to hear about this, and more likely to run the story that Media Watch which only airs for 15mins per week is www.crikey.com.au I am sure they would love to know about her claim to have witnessed the "incident" herself, not to mention the phone calls...

    Forward Passes and Knock-Ons

    Anyone have the rules in PDF?

    Forward Passes and Knock-Ons

    Perhaps your interpretation is correct. I am not sure. I always thought knock-ons were "absolute" hence why I am seeking clarification.

    Forward Passes and Knock-Ons

    Does anyone have an email address for Robert Finch ? Or a copy of the rules ? I want to clarify a ruling from the Roosters v Manly game. Obviously the ruling in question did not effect the result. The Roosters were always going to win by plenty after a dream first 40 minutes. However...

    Raiders issued with $2000 breach notice

    The game is full of "immediate penalties". Refs make decisions about incidents that affect the course of the game all the time. Was it a drop ball or a strip - a scrum or a penalty etc etc. This is hardly at all different. Besides, if a player has 90 seconds to kick the ball and the ref...

    Raiders issued with $2000 breach notice

    They should have a visible SHOT CLOCK at every ground. Once 90 seconds elapses, the referee blows time off and the kicker is allowed to complete the kick. However, as punishment for exceeding the time limit, instead of the opposition Kicking Off from half way, they go back to half way and...

    Sin Bin for Foul Play

    I think we need to bring back the Sin Bin as an option for punishing foul play. Croker coathangered Polglase and gets away with just a penalty, while Jamie Russo ends up in the Sin Bin for 10 minutes for a fairly innocuous hold down. The penalties just don't fit the crime. I...

    The 2004 Premier League Draw

    You were right Yappy, tying the games to the NRL draw makes it very difficult. The Official PL draw has the following problems:- a) Cougars and Tigers have a 3rd Bye rather than playing each other a 2nd time. b) There are 6 occasions where a side should have played at home, but instead...
