Any one here play at a high level?

Hey guys, Im doing an assignment for uni right now / writing an article for the citizen (uni-run news website). I'm pretty keen to talk to someone who has played footy at a high(ish) level to get a few thoughts on the upcoming NRL rookie show. Is there someone I can PM just to ask a few questions? c...

Hey guys... Hate to break it to you but press conferences in any walk of life, be it politics, sports, business aren't about the questions. Interviews are different.

Re: State of Origin may be sold separately in new broadcast

Fox wouldn't be allowed to get exclusive rights to it and even if they could itd be the beginning of the end for Origin.

Re: Ricky Stuart says NRL salary cap isn't working

Speaking of AFL, draft systems are a sure fire winner. Let's take the Melbourne Demons as an example.

Re: An idea for game days

We really should have a big look at what Port are doing in the AFL. They have just gotten their stadium in the city and both them and the Crows are reaping the in benefits. A tradition like this (and YNWA for the Liverpudlians) is a great way to get the crowed going before kick off.
