I love Rugby League, Netball and anything that is representing the Green and Gold. My team list is Melbourne Storm, NSW blues, North Melbourne Kangaroos, Melbourne Vixens, Melbourne United, Brumbies and Sydney Thunder

They Could’ve had the Junior Kangaroos playing and this wouldn’t have been an issue or made the comp a Six nations and made a varied team over 5 games. Poor organisation by International Rugby League.
Walsh & Haas in, DCE & Hunt out, Latrell, Foxx down on form: Selection dilemmas facing Meninga for Kangaroos' new era
Should’ve just made a 6 nations comp 5 rounds without a finals game.
I think PNG should be maybe the 19th or 20th team. Not many players would want to play or live in Cairns or PNG.

Any reason why they didn’t just make a 6 Nations comp over 5 weeks? Any mention of the Junior Kangaroos starting up again.
World Cup Final rematch to headline Pacific Championships as international RL returns to Australia
We had our glory in 2020 and I don’t think we’ll be lifting the trophy for a few more years. We’ll always be a top 8 team but it’s time for teams like Broncos, Warriors or Raiders to lift the premiership. Injuries haven’t helped this year along with inexperienced players. Id say we’ll win again in 2025. Munster will stay and be the next one to get a statue.
Melbourne need much more impact from Munster or they'll be mashed in the finals
Three needs to change for the World Cup.
1. Keep the 16 team format
2. Have double headers during the group stages to attract crowds
3. Have a bronze medal match a day before the gold medal match.
They shouldn’t have tri-nations
Just four nations this year.
1. Aus, NZ, Samoa and Fiji
2. Junior Kangaroos, PNG, Cook Islands and Lebanon.
While England vs Tonga they could have a Four nations between France, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. It would be an even competition. IRL seem pretty incompetent and impractical.
Holy grail or raising the drawbridge? Winners and losers of new International Rugby League calendar
This doesn’t seem like a problem having reserves fill in during origin. Gives coaches a good idea of how players would go playing in the top league. Origin will always be Wednesday nights to get everyone (AFL/Rugby fans) to watch for high ratings. Now way they’ll settle for weekends competing against other televised comps.
Second-rate Friday night 'blockbuster' an insult to fans as Origin makes mockery of NRL draw
3 things need to happen for Rugby league to be popular in England.
1. St Helen’s needs to stop winning the grand final.
2. They need a better tv deal that broadcast all the games.
3. England need to win a bloody World Cup to get noticed.
England’s rugby league failures are killing the international game
I’m listening to it now for the second time and love the disturbed version as well. Such a relevant song for every generation.
Can NRL please stop coming up with endless names for rounds and 'respect' us fans by focusing on footy?
The reason i watch sports is to get away from all the politics in the world and just enjoy sports. But being a Veteran I appreciate ANZAC round so i can understand how other parties appreciate being represented and respected. I guess we either have no special rounds or we have as many as required. Maybe we could have a religion round and a Tattoo round.
This really is the Land of Confusion 😉

Definitely need to put in Xavier Cooks, Isaac Humphries and Dante Exum. Three big men with great skill. It would be great to see the exported Boomers vs the NBL Boomers to help pick a defined team. USA never really care about the FIBA World cup, the biggest threats are usually France, Spain and Argentina. I’m looking forward to possible gold or silver next year and i hope we can do it all without Ben “boring” Simmons.
NBA Double Dribble: With or without Simmons, new-look Boomers should be perennial medal contenders
They should have a bronze medal match between NZ vs ENG so one of those teams and can walk away with some pride. Hopefully they do this for the next World Cup.
RLWC Daily: Cleary to achieve Old Trafford 'dream', Paulo sweats on Final, Kiwis take aim at 'disrespectful' organisers
Did Tariq not want to play for Fiji? Saifiti brothers should’ve put there hand up as well.
RLWC Daily: Samoa rush in Lafai, Sio, hamstrung Coates heads home, Sims pulled out of retirement for Fiji
Super Rugby pasifika should have an open market so aussies and kiwis can play for any team they want, spread the talent throughout the whole comp instead of the best players being in the crusaders and blues. Don’t give grief to wallaby players that go play overseas for more money and have minimum breaks during the wallabies calendar.
Rugby Australia must follow the AFL's lead to rejuvenate the sport... and bring in the money
Hard to imagine they’ll make it out of the group stages. But it is great to see Rugby League growing in France. Hopefully Dragons can win a Super League Grand final to make the sport more popular.
France World Cup squad: Robinson on board, but can he fire French to victory?
JWH could get a look in as well, they’re looking the goods and paying well to win the cup. Hopefully there are no serious injuries during finals footy.
New Zealand World Cup squad: Six Grand Final stars in Kiwis squad - should they be considered favourites?
NZ are Paying $7.50 to win the world cup which is hard to believe. I wish the kangaroos all the best but think it would be better for Rugby league if anyone else won the cup. Maybe a England vs NZ match. Last world cup was a 6-0 game against England so I think a home advantage may help the Poms to get across the line. Should be a great tournament and I’ll be getting up early to watch most matches.
Wide open World Cup title in Kiwi sights
I’ve put my money on the kiwis to win the World Cup. Kangaroos will have the headache of Cleary or DCE to go with Munster. It’s funny the fox will make the kangaroos without playing any Origin this year. I think Ireland and France may upset some teams and make it to the quarter finals. I really wanna see a Tonga vs Samoa match. Will be the best game of the comp. I think it will be great for International Rugby League that anybody except Australia win the World Cup and help grow the sport in there country.
International Power Rankings: Are Kiwis favourites for World Cup? Tonga tumbling, Samoa surging
10 games per team and a simple finals series 1 vs 3 & 2 vs 4 then a grand final. or 1 vs 2 qualifier and 3 vs 4 elimination then loser of qual vs winner of elimination.
Another suggestion would be more teams. Canberra, North QLD, Auckland and Wellington. Then everyone plays each other once.
Nice and simple.
Big Bash Bore? Why Cricket Australia needs to listen to the players and cut the season
Test Cricket will never die and if it does all the other formats will shortly follow. great article
T20 isn't killing Test cricket, capitalism is
Was this a sports article or a Promo for Venom? I think you’re on the wrong website mate.
Who will bring the carnage in the NRL grand final?
Some solid reliable halves will get them through next time. Like most trams they just need a consistent spine and they’ll do well. That Herbert fail hurts every time I see it and I’m not even a Titans fan.
'They've underachieved and haven’t progressed': Does the Titans' season deserve a pass mark?
Well if Melbourne Storm aren’t playing that night then i’ll probably watch the Granny. Really hope Melbourne win the flag. People will watch what they love so Contention with other codes won’t matter. Happy to see the GF being hosted somewhere else.
AFL locks in timeslot for 2021 grand final
Put him in with worst of the best and he’d get hole punch through him.
Jake Paul is the best thing in boxing today
Nope! Spoilt rich kid that doesn’t show any respect deserves a direct uppercut and stretcher out of the ring. Put him in a ring with Tim Tszyu and he’ll be torn to pieces and people would see Pauls not a real boxer. You’d have to pay me to watch a Jake/Logan fight.

Raiders could use some of that 1.1 mil they were going to give Wighton and give it to Welsby for Fullback or 5/8.
Jack Welsby is the NRL’s next big star - if there’s a club with the cojones to stump up the cash and go get him
