I wonder if it was anything to do with the sleeping pill fiasco at rlwc
How do you solve a problem like Waerea?
Don’t let ireland fade into international obscurity like kenya.
The rise of Irish cricket
It’s amasing the call for change in interchange is back remember we moved from 12 to 10 and look how the game has progressed. Would it even work?
The NRL could take a leaf out of junior league's book
Let’s just get all the rules the same for every level and Comp first.
Three rule changes the NRL should make for 2015
Eng vs nz rlwc was the best match of league I have seen a promotors gem for 2015 NZ tour of Eng.
International league flexes its muscles, but Origin still reigns supreme
I hope this isn’t another player coming to lay his career to rest
The only way is up for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
England’s attack looks first class

What does the international calendar look like in 2015? New Zealand touring England is that it ?
Keeping international talent away from Origin
I really don’t believe that securing 20 players outside of the australian rep scene could really be seen as diminishing the player pool as 400 players are registered in the top 25 for the 16 clubs if this was a concern each club could be limited to one or two contacts that are exempt. None of the current samoan squad has played senior level representative (excluding city country)for origin or a top 3 nation in the past 2 years besides Pritchard so the loss would be minimal.
A salary roof would cap the exempt salaries. say at $300000 for arguments sake this would not allow clubs to Rort the system by switching superstars alliance and would encourage clubs to support international league. Nothing would stop the club topping up thier Stars wages with the exempt players cap. At no point would a player from nz aus or eng qualify but players from any other nation would not just PI. Players who are exempt would need to play minimum amount of tests to meet requirements with injuries taken into account forcing the internation schedule to grow. The idea of hertiage athletes exists in many sports its the chopping and changing in league that is so harshly ridiculed.
Give NRL clubs a reason to get behind internationals
Along with hosting the first World Cup France made the final after overcoming Australia in a semi final in 1954 before losing out to GB
