lol this website has oikee, odd qlders are part of the fabric of rugby league.

tbh I went on a forum break for a while so I don't really know the detail and posted a lot on thegh.

Whilst I was there admins encouraged debate and input (just removing comments which were inappropriate.)

Here it seems to have fallen to the schoolyard level, with some admins/mods having a type of complex.

For an example see twizzles post earlier. "he allows me to post my opinion," he does not allow me to post my opinion, he just decides on whether or not to delete my posts, given the nature of that said post I imagine that it won't be too long before he does start to delete my post.

That said, I think the end of rleague should be a welcome opportunity for us at LU to look inwards and think what we can do to improve the community, a couple of things...
1 - Be far far more welcome , understanding and generous to new members.
2 - Don't be so mean to perth red.
3 - Cut out all the unnecessary name calling and insults that make this place worse and makes the individual lowering themselves to them look worse.

I know I have offended all of the above.

and for the mods and admins.. well I wont post because it will be deleted, but I think its quite obvious were improvements could be made.

Perth Reds is a piece of shit f**k him

The day Perth Red stops deathriding Sydney teams will the day people stop being mean to the soap dodging pom. As that won't happen, f**k him.

whodafug is Kiwi ???
You should know him Skinner, one of the old posters. Ex-pat NZder I believe. But he's not a moderator, Papabear's post doesn't make much sense. Looks like he needs some cheering up.

I was on rleague for about a year before coming over here in 2003...

I did come over here initially when they were having those issues with Hadley...

I would periodically check back over there every six months or so, but the site never seemed the same after I started posting here...

Sorry to hear it's closed though..

Cheers Willow, it was the moderator tag that threw me.

Which team did you support on that site?

Oh that's funny! So funny I forgot to laugh!

Actually the website might have been around as early as the late 90's, so it would have been the Western Suburbs Magpies, who I still support in the lower grades, and would still be supporting in the NRL if they were still in it.

I started posting on Rleague in 2009 and stayed on there up until it was bought out by the gambling site. There was a real good community of people on there and it's a shame we've all sort of scattered out onto other sites.
It was smaller than this place, so it felt like more of a community. The other sites I go to now (other than this one) don't tend to get many posters so there isn't much conversation going round.

Too bad it got shut down, but it wasn't going anywhere the way it ended up.

Anyone here remember the comments section on the "OzLeague Tipping" site before Yahoo 7 bought it out?

There was one poster on that site that used to get baited all of the time.His nick was "GOD"....FMD he used to cop a bagging.Gotta say though,he could dish it back as good as he got.

The QRL forum was great on rleague.com. Used to read a lot of great threads there.

I used to post on the bulldogs debate page during the late 90's.

They also came up with the original rugby league fantasy league VRL, which is still by far the best NRL fantasy comp I have ever played. It was so much fun. Sadly it got shut down because NRLstats wouldn't allow them to use their statistics for the fantasy comp.

Their fantasy gambling league was also fun. I used to like looking at the overall league ladder and you'd see some punters who had turned their $100 or $1000 weekly betting allowance into something extravagent like the million dollar mark and you'd think to yourself "hah, I bet they are thinking to themselves if only I had decided to bet with real money..."

Speaking of old sites, I vividly remember the comments page from the late 90s / early 00s on the Panthers website, the forerunner to Panthers Interactive (PI). Finally got punted soon after Gus became the Duke of Penrith. Out of the ashes came Panther Pride, which unfortunately has only a fraction of the traffic that PI did, which is a shame because it is run by people that put a lot of work into it.

rleague was the place a lot of us were, from memory, and then migrated over here when the forums were shut down courtesy of something that pissed off Ray Hadley... something about a fake article on the Roosters(?)

Was it Roosters or Bulldogs. In any case it was the best thing that happened to it. It was run by complete and utter wankers. Matt O was an fwit of the absolute highest order.

I always loved the unbiased and totally objective articles MattO used to pen for the site. Regularly referring to the Roosters as 'the self-proclaimed benchmark'. His articles claiming the Roosters had signed Benji Marshall in 05 and Darren Lockyer in 04 were a couple of my favs.

Haha. MattO certainly was a funny one.

He'd delete and PM me whenever I'd post that S.Berrigan owned and shut down SBW each and every time they played.

Lol I found this place through rleague. Didn't post much there but read a lot of the forums there and then found this place via a link someone shared there.
