  1. Do the Rooster actually have a Cap?
  2. That is really bad luck for Sivo. He was becoming unlucky with injuries in his last couple of years at Parramatta.
  3. Merry Christmas to all the members here and fans of the game. I hope you have a safe festive season. J
  4. I like Luke Keary but the article calls him an NRL Legend? Good solid player that gave it his all in his prime but his 2 games for Australia were 6 years ago and 1 origin game was 4 years ago. He started to feel his Irishness for a couple of Tests and has slowly dropped away in form or been injured in the last two years. i hope he goes well but I think his best is well behind him.
  5. We think that Smithies had a good year 1 but the Raiders fan base were really down on him… partly because he was keeping their folk hero Corey Horsburgh out of the starting 13. I hope Smithies wins them over this year.. I couldn’t work out if you are a Husband and Wife team that posts as a couple or if you sometimes talk in the third person. No offense intended.
  6. Is this your work or a cut and paste from elsewhere?
  7. Plenty of teams have played in stadiums that were not ideal until they got the funds or government support to build a suitable stadium. The Broncos played out of QSAC Stadium for years. The Raiders same as above. Even the Brisbane Showgrounds although unsuitable long term can handle 25k
  8. The other Pacific teams are mainly heritage teams without much local grass roots structure in their heritage countries. Fiji is mainly players that moved to Oz as emigrants or ex Union juniors.
  9. Yes you are right, I stand corrected. I was thinking of the times in the 90’s to around 2014 where teams came and went like yoyo’s
  10. There are many Fans upset about born and bred Australian players deciding they are Samoan or Tongan.
  11. Well the total lack of development in the Northern Hemisphere is not looking that great. The game has been in reverse for two decades plus. Plenty on this forum have plenty of mouthy comments about the NRL and their perceived failures without looking at the absolute desert in their own back yard.
  12. I disagree. There are many Australians that are not happy with players choosing to play for heritage teams. Not all Australians want the game to head where it is going. This is not racism but do you think Australians want to watch the NRL played by just Pacific Islanders? They want to see Billy Slater being funded by a small Town doing Chook raffles to raise money to send him to bigger opportunities.
  13. What does the English body do to “Foster” the International game? Support and invest in France? Ridicule playing them or suggest playing England B team against them? Being critical is easy. Having a serious look in the Mirror is more painful.
  14. Maybe he felt he had donated enough without any possibility of a return on his investment? Would you put millions of dollars on the line without any support or guarantees from your partner?
