    11 a side - should emerging nations lead the way?

    OMG....too many other issues in the game need to be addressed, primarily the re-structuring of the int'l game, a project that will take all our resources, nous and leadership, for such a revolutionary proposition to even be considered.

    South Africa developments

    Couldn't disagree more. By all means find alternative and regular comps for these nations to participate in - as is the case with even the smallest Euro nations now - but the WC is the elite and teams need to qualify for a one-off tournament, not be rewarded for failure. The ENWC will be a...

    Have any non-contracted WC players been signed to NRL or SL?

    I am officially a Hunslet fan now. Wabo is king.

    Yere the centre from PNG has signed with Sheffield Eagles.

    League crew deserve their day in the sun

    Too true, it's simply unbelievable that 2-3 players came back to NZ with the trophy, were greeted by some fans doing the haka, and may take it to a few schools shapes up as NZ's post-WC glory! The NZRL and the Govt should be ashamed. But having said that, most of the players went on holiday so...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    With all due respect, we're going round in circles and it's become tedious. You choose to speak for all Maori and are making some outlandish, spurious statements which are pointless arguing with as you don't consider them to be spurious. My conscience is clear re my attitudes towards Maori...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    So 1% of the Maori you know might think he looks like a penis, and would you accept the notion that some Maori might think he looks like a penis? I'm out of my depth arguing logic with your illogical, irrational chum? I think not.

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    So you're pinning your entire argument on my flippant use of the word 'loads', even though it's mitigated in the next sentence by my citation of the very two people I've been insulting? True, Maori is correct, and so I appreciate the (sic), a slip on my part. Yes, I am that thick that I...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    OMG you have plumbed new depths of stupidity....really. "And how is it being selective when you state Williams looks like a Penis and Luke does not, when they BOTH perform do the same thing. The only difference is that Williams is White." So you think that any two people following roughly...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    I understand that you think it's an attack on Maori culture....but as I was not attacking Maori culture - just two fellas - then I maintain it isn't an attack on Maori culture....because, it isn't. I attacked the AB haka specifically because of the two I've been attacking all along, and I...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    However many times you post precious, holier than thou defences towards a made up attack on Maori culture, you will not change the fact that I have been absolutely consistent in my attack on two people, the sport of RU and the Welsh stand off. You have been irrational to the extent that you are...

    Stuart steps down as Australian coach

    Stupid comments from Cartwright today: "He made a mistake, he admitted his mistake. In the scheme of things we see a lot worse things in every day life. I think Ricky is the best man for the job." But this isn't 'every day life'. In the scheme of RL you can't get much worse than abusing...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    Blimey, I made that clear in my first post! I said McCaw and Williams look like twats because they're trying to pull of extreme mannerisms that are synonymous with the haka, which is a Maori institution, and I think they, not the Maoris who do it, look stupid. "You still haven't...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    Again, you're being selective. Why don't you re-print the whole of my post? I'll tell you why, because in that same post I go onto explain my specific statement - "...was this time catapaulted into the stratosphere of ignominy" - by highlighting Wales's rubbish stand off post-haka. Again, you...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    Good morning. Selective referencing, once again. Why did I say the haka was embarrassing v Wales? I was specific: because of the Sergio Leone-style stand-off that followed it i.e. not the actions of the haka itself (which is what you're inferring, in your post). So my ridiculing of Wales's...

    Stuart steps down as Australian coach

    As others have said, his position was untenable. Like Ozbash, I view Stuart as the 'typical' Aussie leaguie in that he's arrogant, precious and puts winning above all else. This is in contrast to accepted conventions of 'being Australian' I think. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems that Aussie RL...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    take a look at your posts and add up the insults. Their prerogative. To me those two look like knobs. You're going to have to be able to deal with different opinions as you go through life and, hopefully, get ahead. No deflection, just debate. There you go with your labels again - oh but I...

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    Add up the insults from your mate, compare them with mine: there's only one winner in the abuse stakes (although mine are always more thoughtful and constrained I agree).

    Rendition on the Anthem & Haka

    If I thought your responses were desperate and tendentious enough, I knew nothing! Now you bring out the Nazis!!!!! The true act of a desperate man on a forum. You can start wiki-schooling me on Nietszche now. I like the haka, generally speaking. I think McCaw and Williams look like penises...

    What players will be added to a full strength kiwi side in 2009?

    Read it, but then realised after reading it that there's absolutely nothing in the story to substantiate the explosive headline!
