After Australia's 30-nil thumping in the Pacific Championship final, there could be a vastly different Kangaroos team in the next international competition.
Few could have predicted the importance of the first ever clash between the Broncos and the Dolphins.

It could be argued that many games of rugby league hinge on a few key moments: a dropped ball with the line wide open, a missed field goal or according to most fans a refereeing decision or two, or three.

It could be argued that many games of rugby league hinge on just a few key moments: a dropped ball with the line wide open, a field goal that hits the crossbar (I’m talking to you Benny Elias), or according to most fans, a refereeing decision or two, or three.
In my previous article I presented Australia’s mediocre XI, players who played at least 10 Tests without setting the world on fire or doing…
It’s not very well known that the Brisbane Rugby League (BRL) competition actually started in 1922. Prior to that, between 1909 and 1922, the…
Quite regularly there are articles or comments on why Player A has been unlucky not to play more Tests and the selectors are dunderheads…
In previous articles in this series I put together a team for each NRL club made up solely of players since 1980 who never went beyond club level.
Given the Kiwis just smacked the Kangaroos 30 zip, maybe not.
Besides with Dom Young and Tupou, he’s not even a lock for first grade at the Roosters, although Tupou is getting to veteran status

In the relative rates wouldn’t that cost RA a million or so ?

This is an obvious pay back from the Roosters.
Done deal: Wallabies star signs with NRL powerhouse in brutal reality check for RA at start of 'golden decade'
I don’t know the guy, but as long as he has a big body for kick returns (at least 90kg) decent height and a leap for the cross kick, good defensive decision making and has the acceleration, leap and skill to place the ball one handed in the corner with the majority of his body over the sideline in mid air, then he will be fine
Done deal: Wallabies star signs with NRL powerhouse in brutal reality check for RA at start of 'golden decade'
It’s not really that simple. There are still decisions on when to come in and blindside the centre or fullback to stop a sweep move or stay out. They are force to defend the cross kick regularly. There other required skill is to make a lot of return ball metres against an organized chasing team spread across the entire field

I’m no, he never even made the state side in rugby league

No, very specific to what each comp could learn from each other’s experiences
The A-League could learn a little from rugby league – but not in the way you think
I once wrote a whole article on here of what I thought was obviously comedy, only to mortally offend a group of commenters
Do Australians love Test cricket or just watching the baggy green side win at home pretty much all the time?
That’s exactly the journey I went on and also my now 21 year old son
Time for Test cricket fans to do the annual ‘give BBL a try’ merry dance - it's not for everyone ... and that's OK
They lengthened it as part of their last TV deal, risking killing the goose. Last season was the best in a while though

The tournament being so long also hampers the teams from attracting top shelf international talent

QLD has always produced quality keepers, Eg Hartley, Seccombe, Healy, Anderson, now Pierson. They rarely get recognized nationally as there is only ever three keeping spots available (test, ODI, T20I) and their batting seems to always be ‘gritty’ rather than worthy of a top 6 spot

In interesting distinction. It might mean the Super League, even subconsciously, may be more conservative in its decision making as a result. Without super league, There would still be rugby league in its northern strongholds, but it would possibly become a semi-pro niche sport only

If it’s it too intrusive, where is the school?

Just the England Super League rugby league competition and the A-League Mens. Not codes as a whole

Great analysis Midfielder. Maybe the best spend Football Australia could invest would be to hire someone from MLS as a consultant

What a well thought out article. Thanks Mike.

The catching was the best part of the day. Bancroft took a beauty at slip, but for me Pierson’s catch down the leg side while standing up to the medium pacer was sublime. Brilliant footwork made a terribly difficult catch look easy

No offence, I was trying to be funny too. Maybe we should leave that sort of thing to the professionals 😂 😂

It’s almost like this game hasn’t been put on for the sole benefit of Cameron Green. Oh the humanity! 😂

It’s almost like he has a contract to produce content for the Roar

The Kiwis reduce home series to 2 tests because they aren’t rich and make more from the white ball games. Over here we are beholden to the ICC future tours schedule.

I would have loved to see Pierson get a go.
