Concerns Over NRL’s New Broadcasting Deal

League Freak8 years ago8 years ago012 mins

It would be very easy to look at the NRL’s newly announced broadcasting deal with Channel 9 and be blinded by the figures. Channel 9 currently pays $90 million per year to broadcast 3 NRL matches per round, as well as the finals series, and representative fixtures. The newly announced deal that kicks off in…

It Can’t Always Be Left Up To Australia To Turn Up On The International Stage

League Freak9 years ago9 years ago16 mins

In my entire lifetime I have only ever seen the Australian Rugby League team played really poorly once. In the 2005 Tri Nations final Australia were terrible against New Zealand. They lost the game 24-0 and in that they lost their first series of any kind since 1978. In every other game and series I…

Daniel Nichols – All Is Forgiven Mr Fifita Sir

Daniel Nichols9 years ago05 mins

I never really had a problem with Fifita taking the larger than life offer on offer at the Bulldogs. Sure I was disappointed that a player who had seemingly made his name at the Sharks leaving the club, however if a rival workplace offered me an extra $50,000+ a year, I’d be out of there…

Would The NZRL Have Selected Sonny Bill Williams In The ANZAC Test?

League Freak9 years ago9 years ago25 mins

Reports suggest that Sonny Bill Williams will “boycott” the New Zealand team team if they select him in the ANZAC Test against Australia. Williams is apparently unhappy at being named in a report about the alleged abuse of prescription drugs in the New Zealand camp during the 2013 World Cup campaign. The official report found…

Peter Prowse – How To Improve The State Of Origin Concept In 2014

League Freak10 years ago26 mins

I think most people would agree that the SOO concept needs a bit of a revamp. Both to keep interest from a growing ‘non-Australian’ contingent of players and supporters (predominantly New Zealanders and Pacific Islanders) and to minimise the impact on NRL clubs, in a tight competition. Once again after only 1 origin game, we’ve…

Australia Win The ANZAC Test But The Kiwi’s Have Their Measure Ahead Of The World Cup

League Freak10 years ago011 mins

Australia beat New Zealand 32-12 in the ANZAC Test Match in Canberra on Friday night. After the match the reaction from fans and the media was interesting. They talked about how strong the Kangaroo’s are and how easily they will win the World Cup at the end of the season. Me….I’m not so sure about…

Congratulations, The Stand Alone Representative Weekend Is A Farce

League Freak11 years ago11 years ago07 mins

The New Zealand team contains an Aussie. The Australian team contains a Kiwi and a Fijian. One side was picked with an eye on State of Origin. The game won’t even be shown live into Australia. So why should I care? As a die hard Rugby League fan that grew up watching some great test…

Australia Defeats New Zealand 20-10 On The Gold Coast

League Freak12 years ago11 years ago06 mins

Australia has defeated World Champions New Zealand 20-10 at Skilled Park on the Gold Coast. This was a really interesting game, a true test match, and I think it showed a lot of the strengths and weaknesses of both sides. Overall, Australia always seemed to have the upper hand in the game, especially in the…

There have been some interesting changes to both the Australian and New Zealand test sides ahead of the ANZAC Test on the Gold Coast on Friday night. The Australian team is slowly moving on from players who either have proven they can not get the job done at this level, or who will simply not…

The Australian Kangaroos have beaten the World Champions New Zealand Kiwi’s 12-8 in torrential rain at Melbourne’s AAMI Park. It was the first game played at AAMI Park, Melbourne’s brand new rectangular pitched stadium, and the rain thrashed down for the full 80 minutes.

Well Australia face the World Champion New Zealand Kiwi’s this Friday night down in Melbourne. It will be the first event held at Melbourne brand new rectangular stadium that will become the home of the Melbourne Storm.

A Tired Fixture That Needs Replaced

League Freak14 years ago11 years ago05 mins

Normally, I find nothing more exciting than a Test match. I grew up in an era of very good Test football where it was a real pinacle of the game. The mid season “ANZAC” Test though, its just not doing it for me any more. We throw two teams together with a five day preperation,…

Test Preview: There Is No Revenge For Losing A World Cup Final

League Freak14 years ago11 years ago07 mins

Australian Test selectors have made few changes to the team beaten in last year World Cup Final. The team that wasn’t good enough will be given a chance to get some sort of false redemption against the World Champion New Zealand Rugby League team in Friday night in Sydney. New Zealand have made a few…

Australia Dominate New Zealand In A Very Special Occasion

Australia has beaten New Zealand 28-12 at the Sydney Cricket Ground in a good, entertaining match. Australia looked like they were going to run away with the game after scoring 22 points in the first 22 minutes, but a turn of possession saw the scoring halted as the Kiwi’s floated in and out of the…

Gutless Kiwi’s Want End To ANZAC Test Matches Because They Cant Compete

League Freak16 years ago11 years ago07 mins

In an ironic move by the New Zealand Rugby League considering the name of the Test is the ANZAC Test, the NZRL has said that the 2008 game will be their last mid season test against Australia because they are unable to compete with the World Champions in the fixture. Despite the fact the game draws big…

Australia’s 30-6 win in Brisbane may not have been the best Test match in recent years, but both sides will have taken a lot out of the match. For Australia, Karmichael Hunt and Brent Tate showed that selectors did well to show them loyalty but other players failed to step up to the next level….
