It's time to have a serious look about when Origin is played for both the men and women.
Poor old Mitchell Moses is on a hiding to nothing on Wednesday night, even if the Blues win.
Parramatta five-eighth Dylan Brown faces an uncertain future after being charged with serious offences.
Long-term thinking is needed to ensure Women's Origin continues to grow.
It's hard to fathom how St George Illawarra thought Jack de Belin was the player who should captain the club this week.
Paul Kent’s comments outside the courtroom really caught my attention.
Playing a double-header in Las Vegas is not the best way to grow rugby league internationally.
I’m going to say something that I know is going to tick off a lot of rugby union fans. Despite being an avid sports…
Anzac Day is a time to commemorate, not celebrate or commercialise.
Jarryd Hayne is not the victim, he does not deserve sympathy.
NRLW players are on the move at a record rate but it's all part of the rapid expansion of the competition.
Kick-off times at the footy are not fan friendly.
Concussion in contact sports is an issue that needs to be constantly monitored.
The incident involving Latrell Mitchell last week was unacceptable and the NRL needs to back up their strong words with action.
In the past 12 months here’s a smattering of some of the issues faced by rugby league. An extremely public and antagonistic Collective Bargaining…
A Pride Round is not worth all the effort if it's going to be purely symbolic.
The NRL cannot let Jarome Luai escape punishment for his second use of an inappropriate word in a public forum.
Despite Peter V’Landys and Andrew Abdo making the decision not to attend the Rugby League World Cup final to focus on finalising the collective…
As the Kiwi Ferns proved in the pool match between these two countries, they certainly aren’t easy beats.
Definitely still a chance, Mick but a big couple of weeks ahead!! I hope if they make the finals that I’ll see you – will look out for the family with the face paint!!
NRLW Round 7 Preview: Time to get proactive with tickets so more fans can see what all the fuss is about
Both, please don’t start me on my big bug bear of paying a $7.50 ticketing fee when I am either printing the ticket at home or keeping it on my phone!!

BIgGordon, I also wonder about the timing of the games.
The game I want to started at 11.05 on Saturday – prime time for kids sport. It also cuts your day basically in half and means you can’t do anything in the morning or the afternoon.
It’s also competing with the men’s competition at the moment, so for example, if your men’s team was playing in the afternoon you couldn’t get to both.
A triple header was also held at Belmore – interesting given that the Bulldogs don’t have a team… I understand getting to new areas, but the Eels NRLW team only have 2 home games this entire season, it seems in favour of more games in the regions.

And shows what can be achieved too!
RA's 'devastating, no substance' response to Wallaroos shows exactly why rugby is being left behind
I would estimate probably about 5 or 6 years. I’ve been interested in women’s sport for the last decade and the Wallaroos and the development of the Super W have definitely been part of thay. 😊

This wasn’t always the case – so what happened?
RA's 'devastating, no substance' response to Wallaroos shows exactly why rugby is being left behind
Additionally, would you like me to send you all the positive articles I have written about women’s rugby over the years ? Or are only rugby people allowed to talk about rugby?
RA's 'devastating, no substance' response to Wallaroos shows exactly why rugby is being left behind
Maybe if there was something positive to say, I would.

Phil, my understanding is that the Aussie Pearls are full time professional athletes. Is that correct?
RA's 'devastating, no substance' response to Wallaroos shows exactly why rugby is being left behind
I haven’t seen a timetable! Would love for you to share if available.
RA's 'devastating, no substance' response to Wallaroos shows exactly why rugby is being left behind
I don’t understand the point you are making?
You are saying that a full time coach for the Wallaroos is too much to ask?

Mick, not sure I was ever on it!! 😛 I really hope you are doing well.

Hugh, thank you! You know how much I value your opinion in this space!
RA's 'devastating, no substance' response to Wallaroos shows exactly why rugby is being left behind
How far back to you want me to go?
RA's 'devastating, no substance' response to Wallaroos shows exactly why rugby is being left behind
I haven’t ask for a fully professional women’s competition!
RA's 'devastating, no substance' response to Wallaroos shows exactly why rugby is being left behind
There is a difference between full time professional athletes, semi-professional and financial insecurity, which is where the Super W players sit now.
I’m not asking and neither are the Wallaroos just quietly, for million dollar contracts.

‘Entitlement’ is a big word to use for people who live in financial insecurity to represent our country.

I’m part of the market interested in women’s rugby.

How can players be expected to provide a ‘sellable product’ when they are being asked to compete at international tournaments with expectation and without the support or money to make it happen – and then are criticised in the headlines.

Whose responsibility are those revenue streams?

Based on what?
Rugby Australia has done the least out of all the major codes.

A flop…. the best result for a senior World Cup ever?

Hi Caractacus – so glad you are enjoying the NRLW and great to see so much English talent included. My view is that the competition probably won’t expand again until 2025, just to give the 4 new teams intro-ed this year some time to settle. So perhaps then!

Scouse, I totally agree – particularly on being creative on who gets the new licences.
BRING BACK THE BEARS!
