Of all the people I talk to about Rugby League through my web site, forums, Twitter and just general people I know and meet, not a single one of them views the RL Worlds Golden Boot award as anything other than a joke and a complete farce. From the mythical list of “International Journalists”, none…
The Warriors can never just settle, they always have to have something going on. We won’t go over history because we’d be here for years, so lets just look at 2009. The team is set. They had an amazing run in the 2008 finals, they got within one game of the NRL Grand Final, many…
He had walked out on, and quit on more club and national sides then I even care to imagine, and all along the way it was self interest and ego that guided his decisions. So it is stunning to read the news that Stacey Jones has AGAIN decided to un-retire and sign a one year…
He has been one of the games elite players for over ten years. He is universally respected and one of the gentlemen of the game. He is a premiership winner, he has captained Canberra and the New Zealand Warriors and been an inspirational leader at both clubs. He in one of only 6 players in…

After decades of being on the wrong end of beatings at International level, the British game has taken a stand and…
With so many Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands players in Super League you have to wonder what would happen if the RFL managed to make a real decision in regards to the number of Imports in Super League and force many of these players to head back home. There is no doubt that there are a…
Despite Trent Barrett being send to the sin bin twice, Australia looked pretty comfortable in their win over Great Britain. There was a lot of pressure on them heading into this game but as we have seen in the past, Australia just eats it up. I think the Australian side has played better and better…
Ive had alot to say this week about Stacey Jones as news emeraged he had quit on the Warriors completely and will head to France to play. Im not surprised, I suggested this move was on the cards about a year ago. What Im am surprised about is the attitude of NZ fans who keep…
