Luai's double trouble with N-word should get at least similar punishment as Moran's social media spray
The NRL cannot let Jarome Luai escape punishment for his second use of an inappropriate word in a public forum.

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.
