I'm sorry why should you be penalised because the other team is better at one facet of the game??? Sorry Mr winger your opposite is that much faster than you so he deserves a penalty? Your half back can only pass 10 metres - the other one can pass 15, every third pass will be a penalty...

Wrong sorry - I'm a prop and love a good scrum but the reality of the situation is they are a method of restarting the game. If you throw a bad line out but still win it should you be penalised??? If you can get the ball out of the scrum without collapsing but lose 10 metres why do the...

Not just a high standard of play but also an unknown outcome. In fact I think you can have a lower standard of play if the outcome is not a foregone conclusion like we have now with the AB in the rugby championship or the Crusaders in Super Rugby

MLR is looking the goods for the USA. If each club is able to recruit a player of this standard each year I think it will overtake the Japanese top league soon and become one of the top 5 competitions world wide. From there they will keep improving and the big advantage they have over MLS is...

You mean allow clubs to pay their wages and we select who we want to play for Australia??? We still have our most valuable TV product with the best players available (released in the test windows) so we shouldn't take a hit on the TV revenue front and we save on player wages. The down side...

I disagree, I think more appealing alternatives (for the Australian market) have been discussed here several times over. We want to be able to dedicate the bulk of the season to matches that are in our time zones and have a international component to make sure we are competitive with NZ, SA and...

It just makes too much sense for our powers that be to adopt it though...

I would have thought so too but I also thought there would have been twice as many there on Saturday

Am I right in assuming if the 2 lower ranked sides win the final will be in Sydney? If so which ground? Either way it's not going to look great on the TV :(

Hahaha

Pretty sure we played against him last year in Southern Inland 2nd Grade. He was playing lock or 8 for Griffith, no way he is a prop unless he has put on 20 kgs in 12 months

There is talk in the SMH today that Folau is headed north

If you're a half decent rugby player who turned up in Wagga looking to join a club there are 2 stand out choices depending on your age - if you are young and want to hang around with Uni students then you would go to WAC, if you're older then you would go to 'Tahs. Unfortunately CSU and City are...

No, but feel free to start one ;)

Yeah I think you are right - also seem to recall Blacks 1st grade playing with less than 15 players while the 2nds showered and went home. At least City are backing up and reserving for their 1st grade. According to the DA Leeton had 6 players who only turned up due to rain, apparently if dry...

Too soon for Leeton to host again, they only got 2 last year ;)

Read it on the internet so it must be true???? Two completely non comparable incidents and unless you were at both hearings i very much doubt you know any of the facts taken into consideration by the judiciary I know :rolleyes: Wagga City didn't host a final last year for the first time...

Would also help on the marketing front I would think. That's right we don't need to market the NRC, it already so popular with the general public. RA again at their finest :mad:

Interesting to see how many Leeton players are nominated next year - this probably removes any hope they had of retaining their premiership
