What Needs to be Done to Win

What Refs Expect in 2012

Ben Roberts: Genius in the Making

Much conjecture has followed the signing of Bulldogs five-eighth Ben Roberts. Some people see him as someone who is very hot and cold and won't fit in with Kearney's style of play. Whereas others see him as a player who can change his style to fit in

Parramatta skipper Nathan Hindmarsh insists the Eels can cope without Jarryd Hayne should the injured fullback lose his race to be fit for the opening round of the NRL season.

Hindmarsh: The Legend

I'm sure many people have written blogs on the legend that is Nathan Hindmarsh. Here is my view on Parramatta's legend. Nathan Hindmarsh, in my opinion, is the greatest defender the game has ever seen, but he didn't make his name as a defender. Hindm

I follow the NFL almost as closely as the NRL and what really sets the games apart in terms of marketing are the ads for the finals series. The NRL have really short non-inspiring ads usually under 30 seconds. The NFL have ads that go for just over a
