Meninga, Chicka and Lazarus were also excellent.

Nine also shouldn’t have agreed to a contract that allows Foxtel to simulcast all games. That was dumb. Or alternately, they could stop delivering a commentary team and view of the game that is stuck in the last millennium... The commentary in the previous millennium was streets ahead of the **** b...

Channel Ten would only pick up the NRL if it was on sale at the $2 shop.

If Nine can’t see the value in their rugby league contract, that’s their fault not the NRL’s.

Nine also shouldn’t have agreed to a contract that allows Foxtel to simulcast all games. That was dumb.

Nine should have also sought the ability to FTA broadcast some Saturday games on delay.

Cant believe people were really pissed off by this. We would lose our wins over the titans and warriors. We would get to play them again. If it split into conferences we would be in a much easier pool. The only annoying thing out of it is that the roosters would lose two losses. But lets face it, t...

I raised a finger for John Hopoate as an all time Manly winger.

So NRL says they can reverse correctly awarded points for the season so far, but They can’t reverse a wrong decision to rescind a six again call in a grand final. This really is an ineptly run sport. A great game ruined by mediocre management. This decision is the exact opposite of what V’landys sa...

For decades in the NRL teams have played some teams once and some teams twice.

If this proposal to ignore the first two rounds of 2020 is implemented, it places question marks over every premiership in the NRL era.

Surprised there’s no mention of Luke Page. It's not the most overrated team of all time Sent from my ELE-L29 using Tapatalk I like TW’s idea of a most overrated team. My two cents. Luke Page Prop and captain, Roger Kenworthy and Royston Lightning on the wings. Overrated should be guys who were some...

Could not disagree more with the Thurling nominations Him at his peak would not be in our top 30 right now. Agree. Thurling Just Ran holes outside Campo in form. Even I would have been able to do that. Mind you I would have dropped the ball when putting it down for the try. I Actually did this in m...

Charlie Saab might be driving the defence back in 1989, but I predict SAAB won’t be driving anyone in the next Millenia.

Blokes a dud, hopefully won’t see any game time. We’re in trouble if he’s on.

BJ

Definite recent bias in this analysis.

The most informed and balanced analysis has always given it to 1989.

BJ

Pretty good attempt.

I’d go Mark McLinden for Sam Williams, Jay Hoffman for Havili and maybe Terry Fahey for Hoppe.

BJ

I’m amazed at just how hopeless a number of player managers are. They really are just Contract negotiators not people actually engaged with managing their client. If I was a player I’d shovel money into rentable property investments, superannuation and anything that will help them earn money post f...

Curtis Scott practising catch and release. Ironic moment of the week.

BJ

They are proving to be an even better Raiders sponsor than Mcfaddyens. Well done Huawei.

BJ

Agree. The NRL commission hasn’t been worse than the previous structure, but they are only about 20% better at 300% more expensive.

They certainly haven’t lived up to your expectations from the start. Time for a shake up.

BJ

Yep Seffiert82 I’m with you. I also wrote about my concern for players moving from a regulated approach to the Virus to a non regulated.

BJ

I was thinking a 25% pay cut for NRL Executive salaries wasn’t enough. But then I thought that this is currently the time period when they will really earn their pay dealing with the fallout. So I’m OK with the NRL response. Something I rarely say.

Mitchell is fat and overrated. Cook saying he may walk away from the game - hope he does !

Some of the fox sports guests would have contracts with the network. Ennis etc. fox sports, if they survive, might do well out of all this. Both codes will be accepting lower broadcasting contracts ( I imagine with the mess the NRL is in they will be taking whatever they can get) Problem is that pl...

BJ

Why would the players trust Clint Newton to do their negotiations with the NRL?

The guy negotiated a break up with Jennifer Hawkins, he has disastrous historical form.

BJ

And my dealings with them have shown a complete disconnect with the rugby league world outside their own bubble.

The NRL bubble is more real than the Canberra bubble.

BJ

As for loved players, I think Chicka and Mal will be high on my list.

Of the not mentioned. Noa Nandruku and Terry Fahey will always remain fond memories as players who could do amazing single handed plays out of nothing.

BJ

Whilst there is no sports to keep us interested and commentators employed I have enjoyed this guys great work and short clips.
