League and the NRL

well NSW's winning try showed why your focus should be on the bloke with the ball rather than on the bloke who might get the ball

Curious that so many Manly stars apparently want out...

Bennett back to brissie. Will be interesting to see what impact he has second time around.

Good win for Melbourne...though it was only against Cronulla

What a top opening 55 mins or so by Souths. Demolished Manly during this time.

and so the GF is South Sydney vs Canterbury-Bankstown...hope the bunnies win

Congrats to the Bunnies

big blow for Parra and the NRL with Jarryd Hayne quitting to try his luck with gridiron. Personally cant understand why you would want to go from a game which is non stop action for 80 mins, a game where you are always involved, to play a game where a lot of the time you are relegated to the role of a spectator...anyway, good luck to him.

ben really impressed by Samoa in the 4 nations...very unimpressed by the kangaroos up to this point

Brissie v Souths looks like a good start to the season...

St George Illawarra beat Warrington 18-12 in the opening match of the World Club Series.

Just one more sleep until a new season kicks off. I reckon that Easts..oops, i mean Sydney...will provide the biggest challenge to Souths. Canterbury and the warriors should also be strong whilst Penrith should start to reap the benefit of having to have blooded so many youngsters last season.

I'm tipping Cronulla and Brisbane to be the big improvers.

Impressive start to the season for Souths

The banana benders are up and running. In brisvegas its like Bennett never left whilst NQ are looking solid and the GC are still very much a chance of finals.

The bunnies have been a bit up and down in their title defence whilst for Manly its been a season to forget thus far.

Yet another disappointing season for Parra looms...

Really sad news with the death of 25 yr old father of two James Ackerman. James was killed as the result of a fierce collision in a league game over the weekend.
