    Too many penalty goals

    Bowside, this is the sort of simple process that could reduce refereeing errors and inconsistency, but would it reduce infringements? And what happens if the halfback doesn't use the ball in 5 seconds after having access to it? A penalty? Or can the defenders advance and sack him? The ref can...

    Too many penalty goals

    But maybe if you penalise not rolling away and diving over with sin bins. You don't have to escalate to a send off - penalty, then penalty and a sin bin 5 minutes and a penalty and 10 minutes thereafter. The problem is that 3 point penalty kicks on their own that are designed to prevent these...

    Too many penalty goals

    I saw a comment on a thread at the Roar that there were 80 attempts at penalty goals in the first round of Super Rugby. Average 11 per game. Is that right? That seems like a lot even for the start of the season with Refs in Crackdown mode. What can be done to clean this part of the game up...

    It's Goodbye for the Fainga'a Twins

    I get all of that, and it's good. It should be a lot more structured and properly integrated into the Clubs and the ARU. Communicating what the players do to better themselves outside the game is something the fans, particularly the kids, should hear more about as well. But something is still...

    It's Goodbye for the Fainga'a Twins

    Thats a good initiative from the NRL. They should promote that more widely and make it more aspirational.

    It's Goodbye for the Fainga'a Twins

    Why can't a very very good super rugby player make enough money here without having to look at options overseas? Plenty of League players who aren't in the National team make a great earn here.

    Rookies to Reds

    So it's $80 per child to attend is that right? How do I get this to the Schools attention? Is there like a schools pack?

    Rookies to Reds

    No sign of it through the school yet. How do I get them to engage with us?

    It's Goodbye for the Fainga'a Twins

    My boys love them both, huge fans. Definite favourites. Most of their mates at Brothers are the same. They also just like yelling the name. FAI'INGAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

    Rookies to Reds

    Hopefully its not too late for my kid's School. AFL have their claws in there and it's 500 meteres from Brothers Juniors. Go figure.

    Rookies to Reds

    This looks like a great program. Anything that challenges AusKick and the AFL at schools has my support :)

    Enough. I find the picture disturbing enough, but all the comments are making it downright creepy.

    Rugby's ugly face

    I have never seen any racial crap in 5 years of Junior Rugby as a coach or parent attending games. I have seen over enthusiastic parents who need a lesson in sportsmanship and manners and I have once seen some horrendous result engineering from a BJRU ref with close affiliations to the...
