Australia's Chief Medical Officer has called on the Federal Government to ban gatherings of more than 500 people putting the immediate future of the NRL into danger.
It's assumed the NRL will either suspend the competition or move to playing games be
We are just two days away from the start of the season and today is team list Tuesday.
From today, regular in-season moderation begins. As always, the focus remains on rugby league specific blogs and discussions. Political and social blogs generally
Parramatta's Maika Sivo has been cleared to line up in Thursday's season-opening blockbuster with the NRL electing not to stand the Fijian flyer down over an indecent assault charge in his home country.
I can’t resist going out without one last blog, Last year with a week to go before season kickoff, I wrote a blog 2019. TEN REASONS FOR HOPE.It’s one of the pieces I’m most proud of because, in the face of what was looking like a bleak year, I think
In what would be a historic celebration to kick-start the 2020 NRL season, Parramatta’s Bankwest Stadium is tracking for a sell-out which would double as the largest round one home crowd in the Eels’ 73-year history.
There's seems to be a lot of people on here who think Dylan Brown is average and doesn't deserve the headlines. In my opinion he holds his own as a first grader and is just going to get better, but I agree that at times it's hard to see why he gets s

"The sad part is these two are the only half decent players returning... Iongi and Tuivati back round 13. Says a lot about our roster. Seriously in need of a quality 5/8, centres (x2) and a middle. "
"Was thinking the same. It's pretty funny on here at times. The sky is either falling or the sun is shining out of everyone's arse. You don't get anything in between. "
