So you want to find the biggest win in a Rugby League World Club Challenge match? Well, you’ve come to the right place! On June 22nd in 1997 the Brisbane Broncos defeated the Halifax Blue Sox 76-0 at Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre in Brisbane in front of 11,358 spectators. Wendell Sailor and Darren Smith…
Over the last few weeks I’ve been shocked by the way some Brisbane Broncos supporters and sections of the Brisbane media have talked about the days when players all wanted to play for the Brisbane Broncos. You would think that the Broncos were the team everyone had to play for. That players were climbing over…
In 1999 Rugby League in Australia wasn’t in a very good position. It was still recovering from the Super League War, it was cutting back on spending, it was looking to kick teams out of the competition…basically it was in damage control. At the same time Rugby Union in Australia was starting to come to…
He was a great Rugby League player, one of the best in the world. He was offered an impossible amount of money to switch to AFL. Now, after just 13 games, Israel Folau has walked into the Australian Rugby Union test team, his form making it impossible for the ARU to offer his position to…
Last year the AFL made a decision that to them, Israel Folau was worth $1.5 million dollars a year. This made him the richest player in AFL history, and he had never played the game, at any level. Not even as a kid. This week, Kyle Eastmond has made the decision to take a big…

There is one thing though that I’m sure he would change if he got the chance. Newcastle Knights, Hunter Mariners, Melbourne…
There is a bit happening ins Super League right now, some things are interesting while others are just batshit crazy! I’m always interesting in hearing, not so much the news about who won and lost, but the news that effects the competition itself. We’ve had a fair bit of that lately! After a tough year…
I’m sure that for the first week of meeting Wendel Sailor, he is a nice enough bloke. Friendly, a decent enough player, he can get you coke at the drop of a hat, hey, its better than being a team mate of Julian O’Neill. However after that first week the attention seeking must get very…
There is a bidding war right now going on for the services of St George/Illawarra prop Juston Poore with a few clubs throwing around ridiculous amounts of money for his services. The best part is that Poore is rumored to be leaning towards taking a massive offer from the Sharks, who have no money, but…
Well as we all know Mark Gasnier is probably going to opt out of his long term contract with the St George/Illawarra Tampons and take up a huge contract to play Rugby Union in France. Gasnier’s high paying, long term contract with St George/Illawarra basically allows him to come off contract every single season and negotiate with…
