There has been some talk about the NRL introducing a marquee player allowance, which would help clubs recruit a marquee player outside of their salary cap. This has come about as the game aims to bring Israel Folau back to our game.
My idea is to int

Ricky Stuart has named the same team that took to the field against the Panthers to playthis Saturday in Canberra against the Raiders.
Willie Tonga made an injury free return to first grade football and will
Here's the NYC team list for this week. Very disappointing performance from the side last week (going down 44 to 10 to Penrith) and its not going to get any easier against the top of the table Raiders (although they haven't been quite the same side

Read more…I broke my heart to see Jacob Loko limp off again. Firstly, because he was the only player causing Manly any trouble but obviously because he's had so much trouble with injuries, it was terrible to see him coming from the field in that manner again.
Read more…I've been otherwise engaged for the last few days so I missed the whole hullabaloo about the Ken Edwards email and our recruitment issues, so I thought I'd share a few of my thoughts.
Most of you who have been on the site a while, know I'm a bit of a

Once again on the weekend, we saw Brayden Williame brushed off all-too-easily and the same thing has happened to all of our

Cheyse Blair has sustained a grade three medial ligament tear in his right knee after playing for Wenty Magpies last weekend, and will be sidelined indefinitely while he recovers.

Read more…Ken Sio has copped a bunch of criticism from many folk on here, so I think he should get a wrap for his two-try effort today. His first was an absolute specialist wingers try - similar to the one in Mudgee - but this time with a wet ball, and he show

Read more…The biggest joke today was not Parramatta's performance. Or the lop-sided penalty count. It was the fact that match could in any way be deemed a Parramatta home game. Sandow's name gets called out to a huge chorus of boos and from the opening whistle
Read more…So it is increasingly looking like Loko will be considered as a back rower next year, which quite a few of us have been wanting for a while now.
That and the emergence of Peni Terepo as a genuine NRL quality lock, really does make our second row stoc

It’s perhaps the

Let the debate begin as to which way we go now

My rationale for Sandow as a "super sub" has been that it would ma
