    NZ Maori 2008 World Cup

    Being Maori myself the big problem I have is this. Who would I support at the RLWC? I would like to focus on our best chance which is the Kiwis. Not having a strong allegiance to just one team in the world cup does not make sense to me. I still like the World Sevens idea with a the ability for...

    Rep footy & NRL format should change from 2007

    I think origin should stay where it is as it becomes a good distraction mid season, as does the ANZAC test (which will have more significance next year). The regular season does need to be a few games shorter. International teams like NZ, Australia and GB don't need large amounts of time...

    RU Vs RL codes wars in New Zealand 1908 to 1920

    Just read this guys article. Jeez rugby people are self centred idiots. Comparing American Football and Union is farcical. Spectators in American Footbal know when a play is completed as opposed to Union where spectators have long debates about penalties or what players are doing. Innovative...

    RU Vs RL codes wars in New Zealand 1908 to 1920

    I can tell you first hand, in NZ the discrimination continues. In the early 1980's (Christchurch, NZ) when my older brothers and friends, were at high school, the rugby master told them if they played league on a Saturday they couldn't play midweek rugby union on a Wednesday for the 2nd 15...

    Rah-rahs put us to shame - Gould's column

    Gould is a good coach, but offers opinions from if he was the nrl chief. Obviously he doesn't know everthing that is going on, and is right to ask. However the main issue is about none of 3 expansion teams being allowed in. I think whoever is pulling the decision making strings has got it...

    Info on Brent Todd

    Played his early football in Christchurch, NZ for the Linwood Keas, from a schoolboy until Canberra. Linwood Premiers at that time usually finished at best 7th, he was the only good player they had. Played representatively for Canterbury, which were a good team, from where he was scouted by...

    The Worst Rugby League Convert?

    ellis spent most of his time in bartercard, getting paid 400, 000 a year. a talented player who wasn't nurtured enough. but you'd think for half a mill a year he would be able to catch on quickly. kirwan could have gone back to the all blacks after his time with the warriors because he was...

    10 teams for World Cup

    I agree with robyalvaro, geographic spread. More internationals can be played between WC's to strengthen the higher ranked teams. The incentive in different areas would be great to continue with International League with the possibility of the WC to play in. If you look at all the WC's in...

    10 teams for World Cup

    I guess the big discussion if it is a ten team competition is this What would be the impacts of marginalising the game in the USA and Russia. What is the global impact? If we are just picking countries with professional players why have qualifyers? The RLIF has to weigh the benefits of...

    10 teams for World Cup

    Problems are obvious with either Wales or Ireland missing out. Oceania only having one representative, and giving PNG and France easy routes. Still as has been mentioned you need to keep the competition for places high, but the geographical spread is important.

    10 teams for World Cup

    In hindsight 10 teams might be a good idea. How's this for qualifying ideas. Aus, NZ and England all automatically qualify because they have professional teams. 1. Australia 2. England 3. New Zealand 4. Wales - West Europe 1 5. France - West Europe 2 6. PNG - Asia 7. Lebanon - South...

    10 teams for World Cup

    There must be qualifying for everyone, even though the top 3 teams will obviously qualify, and make the semi finalists exempt for the next world cup, or even the ones from the last world cup (so wales is in). No matter how many teams are allowed in it must be a fair qualifying. some teams will...
