Pete Grady Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I think that it would be a very move to change the name of our game from 'Rugby League', 'Superleague' 'NRL' etc to.... 'The Greatest Game'. Rugby Yawnion arrogantly changed their name to just Rugby, dropping 'Union' ignoring Rugby League altogether. It's time we gained the initiative, especially if changes are afoot in Superleague, with possible NRL and RL involvement, this could be an opportunity to unite under the banner of: 'The Greatest Game'. 'The Invisble Man is at the door'. 'Tell him I can't see him'. The late, great Tommy Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need to clarify something though, is it called Jizball because it is a ball sport that is so good it makes you want to mess up the front of your Calvins or is it called this because we are replacing the antiquated rugby ball with an actual ball of jizz? Ps. Length of the field jizz? Quite an achievement! That would be worth a bottle of champagne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fighting irish Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Seeing some of the crazy suggestions here, I'm going to re-introduce Alphamax football. This idea grew out of a comment by another poster (ages ago) who said that RL was like Betamax compared to VHS, a much higher quality format which didn't capture the market to the extent that it should, simply because the others got in first. Beta, sounds so beta... so let's go for Alphamax and reclaim the high ground, we vacated years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubby Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The only hope for anything to work along these lines is for Super League and the NRL to combine and be called the NRL. Then you would perhaps get into the habit of calling full time professional club RL worldwide the NRL - like the NBA or NHL. Other than that, it has no merit.
