    The guy has issues. there are two ways of looking at it, 1) you take him now put him in qcup and say dont' worry about anything just play for fun go out enjoy yourself. you will not get in the 18 this season there is no pressure just enjoy your footy. This can take the weight off his shoulders...

    Sadly until the ESL is broken up and team spread around it wont happen. When i was in Wales it was the same situation you have the crusaders in Bridgend and when they folded you had all these age grade players with no senior side. What kid at 16 is going to pack up and move to the north of...

    The issues are that Football is the main sport and gets most tv and media coverage nearly all the money from the likes of sky go to getting Premiership TV rights. RU gets more press than it deserves due to the game being the domain of the toffs and them holding the strings on tv and media...

    Sadly RU going pro in 1995 saw alot of the guys (Welsh especially) go back to RU. For those who dont' really understand the UK class issue on RL and how badly RL has been held back by the establishment i recommend you read Rugby's Class War - Bans, boot money and parliamentary battles. its by...

    This year was a shocker they closed off half of he upper tier behind the cameras so only top tier seats could be seen on screen. even then it was empty. The thing is there is nothing. No fan village no interactive stuff just get off the train go to Wembley watch some games train home. Not even...

    He has gone off the boil recently. Might be a blip it could be the end. I hate London we ususally drive down stay at the Mrs cousins and then get the tube in from Stanmore. It's such a shame the the highlight of the RL calendar can't even Half fill Wembley

    PNG NRL

    Was listening to James Grahams Bye round and they were discussing PNG and the tax free status players will get along with dirt cheap living costs. They could put together a great squad of players looking to stuff their pockets.

    Tests & Origin

    its silly to allow Samoa as a tier 2 nation but not England who were knocked out of the world cup by Samoa as a Tier 1. More interesting to me is what happens to juniors now, born in Melbourne area and soon to be Perth who in 10-15years time could be in the NRL are they Origin eligible? What is...

    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    No he isn't. I've been interested in the last few weeks at how much he has come on its been a while since he had a major FSJ moment and in general has massively reduced his error rate but still isn't anywhere near a top flight winger.

    4 Years isn't enough you are probably looking more at 10. You gotta think that the Donkeys have had their pick of the talent pool and tied in anyone that looked promising from the day the expansion was announced.
