Rugby League Ranking - Best Cheating By A Rugby League Administration - August 2006
Cheating isn't just confined to players or clubs. It happens at all levels in our great game.
here is a list of the best/worst acts of cheating by Rugby League administrations.
1. RLF Proposes Soccer Balls To Be Used For 2000 World Cup.
The 2000 World Cup and the RFL announces the use of a new 8 panel ball. Great....everyone was excited to see what it looked like....until they actually saw it.
The RFL revealed an 8 panel ball that was so round at first glance it could have been mistaken for a soccer ball. At first people thought it was a joke, but when they realized the RFL were serious the ARL stepped in and told them to pull their head in.
See, the RFL decided that to beat Australia you had to cut dull their refined passing and kicking brilliance. What better way to do that than play with a completely different shaped ball than the Australians (or anyone else for that matter) had ever used before.
When the ARL stepped in and forced a change to a ball that was STILL way to fat and rounded, the RFL said the Australian we're whinging. The fact is the Australia were forcing common sense on the RFL on behalf of the League playing world.
2. NZ Decides To Re-Write The Basic Field Dimensions The Game Should Be Played On.
How do you stop Australia running your national team around the park all day? You make the field as narrow as possible of course!
See there is a minimum and maximum set of field dimensions for the game of Rugby league because not all grounds can fit a regulation size marked field on them. This allows teams to play on small soccer pitches at lower levels of the game but still allow them to be playing official Rugby League games.
The NZRL knew this and decided to use the narrowest dimensions possible even though the pitch they used would have allowed the widest pitch possible under the rules.
Common sense out the window once again!
3. Brent Webb Becomes A Kiwi Just Because He Plays For The Warriors.
Brent Webb is a Queenslander who went over to play for the New Zealand Warriors. He was there for five minutes and all of a sudden was named the Kiwi's Test halfback.
4. RFL Cries "Well Go Broke" When Anyone Talks About Moving The WCC.
Ah the World Club Challenge. Once a true World Championship, it has now been cheapened and ruined so that the RFL can get a cheap result over an Australian team.
5. RLF Appoints Biased Refs Who Bring Back The Five Meter Rule
It was a step back in time as once again the RFL decided they had a way to beat Australia. The Australians were only dominant because they used the 10 meter rule so well, so the RFL decided to appoint a referee who would bring back the old five meter rule.
Of course, it didn't work, and just make a joke of the international game, but thats the RFL for you.

League Freak 01/08/2010 04:11 Ridiculously, it all resets after every World Cup. Or the WC doesn't count. One of the two.
fazerino 30/07/2010 06:46 Ref Willie Manu. Didn't Hayne play for Fiji in 2008 WC then tour with the Kangaroos 2009??
League Freak 21/07/2010 03:27 Solid buys. Finch is a handy play maker, Lima a good prop. Hoffman has had injury probs though.
wiz66 20/07/2010 22:34 Lima, Hoffman and Finch signed for Wigan next season back with Mcquire good buys or not
League Freak 03/04/2010 04:05 People like you keep my fires burning. That and the Deep Heat I rub into my genitals.
john 02/04/2010 15:12 very funny,you nearly had me, keep up the garbage you prick
League Freak 01/04/2010 01:39 Hes not bad. Good mobility, gets stuck in. Doesn't mind playing in the middle of the field, unlike Gareth Ellis!
wiz66 31/03/2010 23:29 Freak - Have you seen and what do you make of young Flanagan that signed for the West Tigers from Wigan at the end of last year
League Freak 06/11/2009 02:13 Rich backers, the exchange rate and relaxed salary cap monitoring.
fazerino 06/11/2009 01:03 Fair enough, so why does SuperLeague have more cash than NRL? (if it's only played in grotty Northern towns in England?)
League Freak 03/11/2009 23:21 A Nation Comp means a bigger TV deal and bigger sponsorships. The NRL's deals are smaller because they don't have the national reach on a weekly basis.
fazerino 03/11/2009 07:24 Freak- why does AFL have more cash to lure players from league when there is absolutely no international scene?
League Freak 06/10/2009 22:14 To be honest all I know about him is that he is an assistant coach at Melbourne. He should be pretty good though.
wiz66 06/10/2009 15:28 Freak - what is the form of Micheal Mcguire who is supposed to be coming to replace Noble at Wigan as coach
League Freak 12/08/2009 13:09 You know, they can blame Smith all they want, they are just playing dumb, soft football.
NEWCASTLE 09/08/2009 21:58 I dont want to talk about how awful the knights have been playing lately its like they have lost all hope
League Freak 26/07/2009 22:29 Saw a bit of him against Leeds, he played well!
wiz66 26/07/2009 18:28 Seems Kris Rads has been coaching his full back play at Wigan to great effect
wiz66 26/07/2009 18:26 Cameron Phelps is turning into one of the best imports in SL at the moment
