How does Terepo get 3 weeks yet Flanagan get nothing??

Isn't the NRL serious about protecting players' heads? Flanagan's knee to Lodge's head was as deliberate as you like. It couldn't be more obvious he did it with intent. Yet why wasn't he punished accordingly? You can't tolerate that behaviour. Peni g

Sharkies Josh Morris Try v Broncos Few Minutes Into 2nd Half - Was It A Double Movement Or Not???

What is the double movement riule these days? Morris arm carrying the ball was on the ground and then he rolled and strectched out and it was awarded a try. Is it because it's still considered one movement or have the refs, etc, stuffed up again???

450,000 ltrs of BOURBON PERISHES IN FIRE.

Even more lost in river.

Why oh why...? The tragedy of it all.

Tigers match could decide Eels' season

After 15 rounds the Parramatta Eels and Wests Tigers are equal on competition points but are separated by 51 for and against points.

In round 16 the Tigers will face a depleted but still dangerous Roosters while the Eels will enjoy their bye weekend.

Kane Evans - In The Heat Amongst Brutal Humidity Kane Stood Tall

We have to give Kane a fair bit of slack now because that is 4 games in a row where he has kept improving and be that important part of our powerful bench rotation with Salmon, Gower, Terepo & Moeroa.

Our bench turned the game tonight and Kane, Gower

One on one strip rule

They need to get rid of the one on one strip rule. It's become rediculous and it destroys the momentum of the game. 

If they are not careful it has the potential to ruin the free flowing style of the game with players becoming more concerned with just

Total radio silence coming from the transfer front.

Will Waqa Blake be signing or someone else?

Losing MJ until round 21 is a big blow as we're shallow for good centre options. OK there's Ethan Parry but he's nothing more than a project. After that it'

The importance of winning the forwards battle.

We all saw how QLD got on top of NSW after they started bashing the NSW pack on about the 30th min mark in game 1.

Again we saw the intent the NSW pack this time with Maloney, Cook and Teddy running amok after good forward metres and quick play the ba

Kyle Flanagan to the Chooks

Maybe a strategic mistake on the part of the Sharks?- getting SJ?

Hope we do better 

The need for balance

If there's one thing the best sporting sides have, it's balance. In any sport, a well-balanced team is going to perform well consistently over a side with one or two brilliant players and the rest being mediocre.

In Rugby, you see it in the All Black
