Maybe there’s a reason rugby union has more fans and players than rugby league in many places Mango Jack. It might not be exciting to you or a few rugby league fans but it sure beats league hands down everywhere.
Rugby fails to fire this year on TV
A second NZ team in the next two years. Heard on the radio that ANZ cup netball is now second to union as most watched sports on NZ telly. A south island NRL team will put a stop to that.
Where should the NRL expand first, and how?

Before the first second game, Ireland had never beaten NZ in their entire history – a record that remains after a last-minute drop goal from the great Dan Carter sealed an All Blacks win.
This was a game that many rugby league fans might have enjoyed – not dissimilar in terms of relentless intensity and total commitment to the State of Origin 2 game a few days ago.
SBW played his part but looked inhibited, as if all the panache and daring and miraculous off-loading has been drummed out of him. Williams scored a try on his rugby union debut for Toulon, was selected in the French Top 14 Dream Team in his first full season, man of the match in his second international for the All Blacks (whose coaching team, much to the chagrin of dyed-in-the-wool union fans, went out on a limb to bring him back to NZ in the first place) and gave a performance of genius for the Crusaders at Twickenham that had the likes of Stuart Barnes waxing lyrical…
Now, the more rugby union commentators say the SBW has come of age, the more ordinary SBW looks – and makes one wonder why coaching all the rugby league instincts out of him is considered to be anything other than pointless and self-defeating.
Adapting one’s skills to a different game is one thing – but does it have to be at the cost of everything that made the player distinctive in the first place?
Is Sonny Bill worth the money?
I struggle to see how rugby league is a major sport in Australia according to its fans but its only really play and love in two states yet rugby union is the same or even bigger and more spread out in places like Ireland, France, England and South Africa but the leaguies constantly says its a minor sport there. how do they work that out?
