I love Locky, but seriously, there's no point listening to a word he says when it comes to the Broncos. He's just a sycophant.

I'm liking the new process for the video referee. I like that the referee has to make a decision, and the video referee has to have enough evidence to overrule it, or the original decision stands.

This is huge news at the moment. Year long investigation by Federal Government linking professional athletes and coaches across AFL, NRL and other sports with criminal organisations and identities. Frightening stuff...

Not sure it's been mentioned, but Telstra yesterday agreed to terms with the NRL to remain naming and online broadcast holder. The terms are: • Exclusive broadcast rights of all NRL matches for mobile and tablet devices*, • Naming rights to the Premiership and Sunday Football, • Operation...

OK, let's put our mouths where our mouths are...(Well who's going to put money there?) Here's how I think the finals series will pan out: Week 1: Manly def Bulldogs Storm def Souths Cowboys def Broncos (Broncos eliminated) Raiders def Sharks (Sharks eliminated) Week 2: Bulldogs def...

That's not what players think. Origin is so overhyped it has a huge mental impact as well as physical. I'd definitely trade the last 6 origin wins for 1 broncos premiership

Gonna be some interesting stuff in this book. http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/petero-civoniceva-reveals-rift-between-himself-broncos-ceo-bruno-cullen-and-former-coach-wayne-bennett/story-e6frep5x-1226458044645 That passage above makes my blood boil! It's one thing to decide that...

I always lean towards the negative, not because I don't like the team but because I try not to get my hopes up. But looking at it realistically, I think I have a reason to be negative about our premiership prospects at this point. Let's look at our season. The only games we've won against...

Second season syndrome. Discuss.

yes but ultimately he's an 80 minute first grade half playing 40 minutes off the bench at hooker. He's not making the most of what he's got at the Broncos.

England had a scrappy win over France as a warm up. Jack Reed scored a brilliant try though. Highlights here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SDLsCv3-aw For a guy that's too slow to be a first grade centre, he showed plenty of toe ;-)

4 Broncos in the squad: Darren Lockyer, Jharal Yow Yeh, Sam Thaiday and Corey Parker to make his debut. Josh McGuire and Ben Hannant weren't selected. Justin Hodges withdrew due to his hamstring/back complaint. Cherry Evans selected as backup to Thurston along with Cronk. Squad: Darren...

LOL! J/k, no such thing.

Gus had an interesting column about alternative finals system: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/conference-system-would-reinvigorate-finals-series-20110910-1k30g.html Effectively though, this would mean (assuming 16 teams) 10 out of 16 teams make the finals. We already have...

We've had more golden point games this year than I can remember in a long time, and Peter Sterling makes an interesting observation: The top 8 would be decided with the only doubt the positions of the Warriors, Tigers, Dragons and Cowboys based on this week's round. The Titans would have...

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/tackleshy-walker-turns-on-storms-wrestling-tactics-20110820-1j3l4.html Totally correct. But the Storm also didn't need to cheat the salary cap to win games. But they did that too. The Storm is a club that has no respect or love for the game...

There's an interesting stat since the NRL returned to 8 team finals in 1999 that on average 3 of the 8 finalists fail to back up the following season. However, since 2007, it's been 4+ teams have been different each season. It's an interesting stat. Is it the salary cap at work (probably)...
