![I’m no expert on rugby league commentary, so it’s only when I’m positive I have some good ideas that I would pop something in the suggestion box for the “voice of rugby league” and the “super coach.”
Now, I love a punt as much as the next man. But I’m finding it hard to define [...] Steve Kaless: Suggestions for the Channel Nine commentary team](http://www.theroar.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/early-points-soward-young-th.jpg)
![Troy Taylor was one of the feel-good stories of the draft. Nabbed by Richmond at pick 51, the 188cm teen from the Northern Territory had made it to the AFL despite his troubled past. At the beginning of last year, it would have looked like an impossible dream.
As The Age reported prior to the draft: [...] Michael DiFabrizio: Troy Taylor a work in progress, on and off field](http://www.theroar.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/troy-taylor-th.jpg)
![Rain interrupting cricket is annoying, but has its advantages. During the one-dayer between Australia and the West Indies at the SCG on Friday, I had interesting chats with the ABC radio team.

![While it’s a historic agreement, the AFL’s free agency model is also very complicated and has overlooked its most important function. It still fails to allow big name players to move freely between clubs.
For such a professional sport I would have thought a more professional outcome would have been achieved. How hard is it for [...] Justin Rodski: Restricted free agency in the AFL is a cop out](http://www.theroar.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/afl-demetriou-rudd-th.jpg)
![Now that the beer coaster that I had used to write on has dried out, it’s time to reveal the Roar’s NRL Team of 2009. By way of introduction, it is worth mentioning that there were a number of debates that centered around a few different areas.

![There seems to be a consensus amongst many long time league fans that the eighties were a golden period for the game. The game expanded beyond Sydney and the seeds were sown for the national competition that we have today. Good times.

![The brutal execution of John Howard’s hope to be the Chief Commissioner for a new independent Rugby League Commission by the Labor Left hard man, the Federal MP Anthony Albanese, was totally predictable.

I must say that was one of the best team performances ive seen in the league this year. Kisel was unplayable I think he may finally be beginning to hit his stride

It was a great display & Kisel was awesome.

Hopefully Sydney can keep this up, becasue granted they had a lot of help from the Furys shambolic defence but there was no taking away from the quality of their display, there was not poor player on the field
