Re: NRL may scrap National Youth Competition

It is an easy fix. You get the NRL funding theU16 and U18 and U20 Rep competitions. They are based on state and area, maybe even schools. Not the clubs. Play for a few weeks then players go back to their local comps. Funding also gets granted to increase development officers, coach training and othe...

Re: Who to drop?

To many changes to really consider whether they'll be effective. The usual suspects letting us down, with a few overrated players that hold us back with a lack of impact still being touted as first grade standard. Round 3 and there is already so much wrong with this team. Unfortuntely with injuries ...

There is a big chance by half way through the year we could be sitting pretty in the top 4, look at parra last year, with a roster that really wasn't anything special they were in the top 4 for chunks of the season. Anything is possible. I rate our current roster better than the eels roster in 2014...
