Rumours and Stuff

Rugby league will slowly die. Results is we are getting wealthier and more knowledgeable.
That's what will end it. People understand now concussions are concerning. And plenty of people won't let their kids play it based on more and more information on head knocks. Watch all the guys who played in the 80s and early 90s for bread and butter come out for compensation soon. I see a huge legal class action.
Ultimately I think this is what kills rugby league and nothing else.

So Hindy,heading the ball wil kill soccer ( cases agst the FA already), AFL will suffer too. Basketball will be ok, but given NFL is still No 1 in the USA, and college still attracting huge numbers,going to be interesting for a few years yet.

In the 70s when The Socceroos qualified for the World Cup, We were told that was the end for all other sports and soccer would take over completely within 10/15 years and the other football codes would collapse due to vast junior numbers and corporate dollars, still waiting

League is the cockroach of the sporting world nothing can kill not even BA’s assistant coaches.

Thoughts on the effect Redcliffes entry may have on The Storm. Spider senses reckon the monopoly they have had on Qld talent may disappear quickly particularly if The Broncos improve as well. One can only hope. Not too many juniors coming through in Vic.

Yep i reckon it will be just as big impact on Melbourne as the broncos.

Melbourne coming into the comp has basically taken over the broncos mantle of being the powerhouse team of QLD recruits. In that catchment area.

Broncos haven't been the same storm come in especially as Melbourne took their recruitment manager off them in the early 2000s and basically grabbed all the best juniors from QLD

Signing Nick Cotric and will smith going to Gold Coast would be a good piece of recruitment

If you're a strong kid sure. Soccer is popular cause it's skill based not power.

Na, size / strength isn’t an issue with league until mods (even the first 2 years aren’t that bad), and generally they are graded by then. And by 13’s or so, you know if the kid is suited to league or should be playing oztag …….

Parents not letting their kids play minis because of size/to rough, never intend to let their kids
play…

on soccer, try getting all the kids involved? Almost impossible, it’s pretty difficult to make the ball go to a certain kid, without the defence on them to allow them to have a decent kick…..

Rugby will die before league ever does. I don't even care if its small. I'd watch it at the local park.

They'll have to start selling cevapi rolls at the stadium soon.

I used to live next door to a local dude who played rugby league at school. And WARL development officers came to my daughter's school this year. They were stunned that she was able to identify the dummy half.

I bet they were really shocked when she sat them down and schooled them on LBA’s.

They almost fainted when she pulled out her excel spreadsheet explaining the nuances of WPYSA18.

Go back to the Tigers forum Rhyno.

The Lions and AFL in QLD though keep producing junior players and more new members by the day. Yeah the NRL is winning.

once again, where are you getting this from ?

NFL has so much money behind it thou. They can pay off injuries. They also have a lot more population and people willing to risk it. A poorer nation as well.
I don't expect NRL to collapse. I hope it doesn't but I know plenty of Nrl fans who wouldn't let their kids play league. In the 80s I reckon most kids parents would of let them play.

Ram has little birds all over the city just like myself. We can't reveal our sources.

So, I saw an article claiming Tigers want to buy Josh Hodgson. I reckon Jacob Liddle would be worth poaching as a good option off the bench.

I know you'd like a post about a hooker Gazza.

Dads been teaching her, eh?

Not a fan of calling them just the dolphins.
Needs to have a geographical reference.


Just stick with redcliffe seems to be the nrl want to go down the super rugby route by calling teams by names without attaching a geographical reference to them which is just as important to the name imo.

I wouldn't have a clue where those NZ and south africa teams come from in rugby.

I will always refer to us as Parra instead of eels.

I will say one thing though i never noticed this until today but are the NRL pushing out the geographical location off the teams logos.

I heard a rumour they told newcastle to remove the word newcastle off the logo a few years back.

So i looked and
Knights dont have newcastle in it.
Panthers dont have penrith in it.
Warriors dont have new Zealand in it.
Cowboys dont have North Queensland in it
Bulldogs dont have Canterbury in it.
