I'm positive this will be so!

Well, I went. And now I'm positive that there are Qld. outside backs capable of running out of sight on a dark night. Whether they are capable of playing well at Soup level I do not know, but at least their existence has been established.

A precedent against transfer fees at contract's end has long existed in Oz law. RL was the context, unsuprisingly.

He is and he is.

I've no idea what is happening in re DickCheese. But I do know this: if he's re-appointed, memberships for 2016 will plummet. 'Memberships' AKA season tickets provide much-needed cash flow before the season commences. Commercial organisations that ignore the importance of cash flow are...

Yep. Certainly a lot of similarity between RL in Australia continuing its competitions during WW1 and RU in Vichy France colluding with Nazi collaborators to ban RL and expropriate its assets. Peas in a pod, really.

Ditto. He tried hard, was generally professional and had a low WTF-was-that?! ratio as regard truly dopey shite; which was not true of quite few other Reds' outside backs.

An odd thing, this - it wasn't until I read a few posts this morning complimenting the reffing that I realised last night was the first game I'd attended this year when I didn't have a big girly whinge about at least one whistleblower's decsion. In other words I didn't even notice the fella...

Jesus man, enough of that kind of talk! Shanky will almost certainly do the opposite just for contraryness' sake.

That's a bit of a blast from the past, wambers. The Brissie league team I used to support, Fortitude Valley RLFC aka Valleys aka The Diehards, had a few financially-disastrous seasons for that reason, amongst others. The others were a clubhouse that no-one in their right mind would drink at...

Not so much a disgrace as a way of life. You are talking about NSW, remember.

And while hanging around Storm HQ, the ARU Poaching Squad should also stuff Jordan McLean into a large sack and spirit him off to an intensive re-education camp. There looks to be an effective No.6 lurking within that young man.

I'd not change any of the laws to begin with. Instead, I'd rather have an audit, for want of a better word, of 'offences' that are frequently penalised in professional-level games but which are not clearly offences under the laws as written. The pupose of this is fairly obvious: if something...

There are of course many, many reasons, other than size / body shape, to question how many league forwards would do well in rugby. But considering only size / body shape, here are few that would have been worth a look if they had expressed an interest in playing the game somewhere not too...

Not Strayan of course, but Nehe Milner-Skudder has most assuredly been visibly playing the XV-a-side code since leaving RL U-20s.

My poor spouse was on the end of a rant to this effect until she insisted I STFU. So - yeah.

I think my son's still got the relevant ticket glued to his wall (along with lots of others). This was such a surprise result that only a few years later I was - and I shit you not - wondering if I imagined it / saw it on TV.

The answer to that will depend on how much store you place in TV money and annual attendance numbers here in Straya. Not which you code you prefer.

Absofarkanlutely! He missed / muffed tackles by moving out of the line too fast and at least once left a hole that was exploited. I really like Ant as a player but thought he had a shite game in defence.

Yes. Other players' missed tackle stats would need to be higher for Izzy to trouble the scorer in respect of tackles made.
