Things we missed out on moaning about before TRL and the pre internet days

how come that Bill Beaumont from RU  has been given the captains job on QOS?  Jeff Grayshon never got a look in - the BBC are corrupt and bias - get your complaints in to the BBC by postcard or hand written letter before the last post

The sports dying it will be a part time sport by the 1990s.

Er....pretty sure it was a part time game anyway? 
Or is there a bit of a more subtle point going on?

Blimey the players wives at Wigan are getting a decent salary aren't they?

[Whippet13]

Some lunatic is suggesting we introduce play the balls, get rid of lineouts, have just 13 players on a team and change our name to Rugby League! - What a farce, it will ruin the game, the fans won't stand for it.

Geoff Fletcher playing for Huyton with a bald head, then his hair all grew back when he'd retired from playing.

Changing to the 4 point try........'there will be lots of cricket scores!'

cant we make a bit more use of the padding on the posts by jazzing them up and putting some advertising on them instead of them just looking like left over lagging from the loft wrapped round 2 sticks?

the latest edition of the wakey fanzine "wally lewis is coming" has too many comments that are deemed "political" and should be moved to another fanzine meant for political discussions

That was a common call in the earlier days of the internet though, not imaginary!

Bloody fixture list

If only there was a way of finding out about last minute changes in kick off times.  Game's gone! 

[Just Browny]

Huddersfield's crowds this season (1985/86) are bad. This is going to kibosh their chances of attracting any fans in the 2025 season.

[The 4 of Us]

It’s all Maurice’s fault.

[RBKnight]

State of Origin is getting dull.... only two decent teams in the competition !

What's this collection for now?

They are walking round the pitch with another blanket for the crowd to throw coins in.

Why have Halifax playing 11 Aussies in their side

The number of penalties for feeding these days is unbelievable 

Why don’t more teams install under soil heating

What we really need is some sort of forum on that new logweb thingy. We can all put our fears for the game on it  and moan about things , we'll all be happier people if that comes about. We don't even have to use our own identities,  we can create our own, like: Cemetery John, Masked Internet Thingy Contributor, The Future Might Be League,  Harrystophanes ( that one needs work on) , just a few ideas there.
