St Helens have defeated Hull FC 28-16 in the 2008 Challenge Cup Final. If you went to cook two minute noodles as the game kicked off, the microwave bell had yet to sound and Paul Sculthorpe went from the field injured. Going into this game Sculthorpe amazingly wrote in his newspaper colum that HE has…
Greg Bird is alleged to have smashed his girlfriend in the face with a glass, fracturing her eye socket and leading to an eye injury that could see he lose sight in her eye. After allegedly doing this to his girlfriend, he then started to cover his arse, calling a mate and asking him to…
Well the Queensland conspiracy theorists are out in force once again, and this time they are targeting one of their own. With three of the strongest clubs in the game and three straight Origin series under their belts, its getting hard these days for the old Queensland brigade to suggest that those rotten NSW people…
Let me tell you something from your Glorious King Of All That Is Good. People that make huge boasts and then don’t back it up, they have a small penis. Ohh….. Anyway, news that Huddersfield was going to make “The biggest announcement in the modern day history of the club” was met with rolled eyes…
The best club side I have ever seen was the 1994 Canberra Raiders. These days, I’m wondering if the Melbourne Storm has over taken them. I love watching the Storm. There is something about a team that isn’t just the best football side, but who also have command of the mental side of the game….
It was a must win game for both teams in Canberra today. As I wrote ion my NRL Tips on the Sports Freak website, I felt as though one of either Canberra or Penrith would make the finals, but I didn’t think both of them would. Canberra has been in great form the last few…
You know I think Matthew Elliott is a double agent. There can be no other reason for a coach to be so active in destroyed success. After being a disaster in the UK and almost running the now successful Raiders out of the competition, Matthew Elliott has turned his attention to runining the Penrith Panthers….
I’ve tried to avoid talking too much about Sonny Bill Williams because seriously, he is a stupid kid thats been easily led by users. There have been some interesting things I do want to mention though. Despite having a court order stopping him from playing Rugby Union, Dollar Bill Willaims has actually played his first game,…
I thought that after his disastrous stint with the South Sydney Rabbitoh’s we had seen the last of serial gas bagger Shaun McRae. After making a career for himself in the UK ruining clubs, he came over to Australia where his constant hot air and bullshit just didn’t cut it. He eventually learned to shut…
Rugby League just keep turning out star players and one to look out for is the West Tigers Daine Laurie. At 6ft 6in and 112kgs, Laurie is right up there with the most physically imposing players in the game. He is just what the West Tigers pack needed, he adds a whole lot of size,…
The Melbourne Storm beat the Manly Sea Eagles at Brookvale Oval last night but Manly can take heart. If it wasn’t for the terrible, shambolic play of their halfback, Matt Orford, Manly would have won the game. Orford started his game off with a forward pass that dribbled across the ground just a couple of…
The Canberra Raiders have sacked Todd Carney for being a serial dickhead and the NRL has said he will not be able to play for any other NRL team until the 2010 season. Thank god, its about bloody time! It seems as though the game has been on a bit of a cleansing recently, getting…
As if there wasn’t enough drama involving the Canterbury Bulldogs at the moment, the clubs CEO has suggested the club may look at relocating to Gosford. The reasons being put forward are the crowded Sydney market, poor crowds and problems the club is having attracting sponsors. There is no doubt at all that in Sydney,…
Everyone has been hopping on the Manly Sea Eagles bandwagon over the last couple of months, but you won’t find me on there! The thought among experts is that Manly have not just improved on their 2007 form, but they have even improved over the course of this season and their standing at the top…
Penrith is in a strange position when it comes to the battle of the Sydney clubs. They have the biggest and best junior Rugby League setup of any Rugby League team in the world. Its an embarrasment of riches and the production line of talent in the area between Blacktown and Penrith is good enough…
Australia has named a preliminary 46 man World Cup squad and its interesting to see some of the names in the list. For the most part the side consists of proven performers at representative level with one or two players thrown in to cover for any injuries that may occur between now and the start…
Well the World Cup Countdown has begun and if you are following some of the squad selections at the moment you will find that some players are being named in more than one squad. Because this kind of muddies the waters, the RLIF (See ARL via an fancy letterhead) decided to clear things up. The…
