What about signing some overseas talent, ala Michael Lawrence of the Huddersfield Giants, young and a big strong runner. Also, Jonathan Lomax from St Helens, he is only 23 years old, but leading around one the best teams in the League. Yes, Super League is not the same standard, but, to be...
I guess what really upsets me as a supporter is that we are never listened to. Most clubs have a membership meeting where the members get to contribute to the running the club. I understand Griffin has many more years of experience than I in player development and he has many scouts, but...
I think the dead ball rule works in many sports already that attract more people to the stadiums than ours (e.g. AFL, NFL, NBA). So, yes the advertising may come into the equation, but I think that will generate more income for the TV/Radio/Internet, which, in turn means more money for the NRL...
The change I would like to see made is when the ball is dead (over a knock on or the ball being kicked out, etc.) the clock should stop, I hate seeing a game (e.g. Bulldogs vs Storm) being finished whilst the ball is still dead. Stop the clock and we get to see some more nail-biters, which is...
The tackle begins when the player is on the ground or called held. Count 3 seconds - not like a kid playing hide and seek, but 3 full seconds - and the players would all be off, the worst thing to see is some fullback rolling all over a player for longer than an ankle tackle deserves just so his...
The ruck speed is where the NRL needs to focus on, it was mentioned earlier about the Super League, they have a great ruck speed and tries are more from general play than kicks. I think what should happen is as soon as the player with the ball hits the ground (this means as soon as the knees or...
I agree, I think Sammy was out of line when he name and shamed Dodds, I thought Dodds played well, far above his average, and always running hard at the Roosters. I think Dodds is a very under-rated player. If Sammy was going to name anyone for the loss it should have Hook, that attack plan was...
Let's be honest here, ever since Cyril Connell has passed on the Broncos recruiting is far below par. How is it we miss out on Cherry-Evans (although I actually don't like him as a person) and Barba, who is recruiting for us?! Still can't understand why we can't get players back to God's country...
