  1. Apologies, those dates are wrong. The queensland and NSW opening round games are the same weekend as the first round NRL games in Aus. So there are some clashes between those targetted AFL games and the NRL. Eels v Bulldogs go up against GWS game and the Titans v Dragons go up against the Suns v Richmond.
  2. AFL at it again…..they have a split round for their opening round with the first half of the round being played the same weekend as the NRL opens in Vegas. The four AFL games that weekend are in brisbane, gold coast and two in sydney…obviously trying to tap into NRL fans pockets. shame they pay less attention to avoiding clashes when it comes to the business end of the season.
  3. Well I was close! First round winners in JPT went into second round of that cup and first round of the rum and cola cup. Yes we had half-baked ideas back then too!
  4. It was another competition for first round losers wasnt it? In the good old days when the top 8 teams entered competitions in the first round, not the last 8.
  5. Now there is a freudian slip resulting from a spellchecker no doubt. How else could the word competent be used in association with the RFL
  6. That of course assumes the top players would make themselves available as opposed to using the superleague free weekend to recharge their batteries.
  7. One would hope this would be on IMgs list of things to sort out. But i suppose it will be a long list..
  8. Precisely! Does anyone know what they want the league structure to look like in 5 or 10 years time and what strategies they are putting in place to achieve that vision?
  9. There were league games on the BBC back in the eddie waring days…and challenge cup/ john player trophy, floodlit cup, end of season play offs, county cups.
  10. Pre eason games now official…two weekends of 16 teams…no penrith
  11. No….two weeks of 8 games given the odd number of teams it means penrith “miss out” …or otherwise engaged!
  12. That wont do their IMG grading much good.
  13. Pre season games announced with full season fixtures coming early next week. I can smell the grass already.
  14. Broncos….local team Titans…almost local team North Sydney Bears….Gods team and I want to be on his good side.
  15. Well yes players from PNG who havent already been scouted and signed by NRL clubs already. We are talking about them entering a market for players, not having free access to any PNG born ( or PNG heritage) players.
  16. The financial issues referred to in the article have not suddenly emerged….and the end date for their lease was also known wasnt it? You would think that criteria used to produce a sustainable super league would pay attention to the security of tenure associated with the ground. Own it? Yes/no If no, how many years left on lease?
  17. Highest ranked grade B under the IMG algorithm….how do IMG explain that. Any more proof needed that this whole grading system is a joke. Aside from this, hope the good people of Salford are able to resolve this mess and reach a positive outcome.
  18. City of Manchester stadium a 25 minute walk from Piccadilly…hardly miles away from City Centre. But your point stands, there is little around the stadium for fans….apart from an excellent chippy. That is by design at MCFC to ensure whatever money fans spend, its spent at the commercial outlets they run at the stadium.
  19. And how many of them will already be contracted to existing NRL clubs or offered new deals to stay with those clubs. One risk is that they will be left contracting those QRL level players for much of their squad. Another is they have to overpay to get NRL level players to relocate and that just leads to serious inflation in NRL salaries.
  20. The Bermuda triangle…….Id like to see that.
  21. Hope your health will allow you to attend games again in the new season… no doubt helped by the positive happenings at the club. Rugby League needs all the fans it can get, and particularly long standing fans like yourself. Look forward to taking your money and league points off you at the Crown ‘Royal’.
