Salvo Montalbano Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Bitter bitter seething Northerns everywhere as Toronto Wolfpack win the Championship Grand Final 24-6 against Featherstone and will play in Super League next seasonI think most of the seethe has been about Brian Noble's unhelpful comments about "small Northern villages" and how Super League should be about London, Barcelona, Paris etc (of course 2 of those cities have had Super League clubs and while the Broncos/Harlequins RL did well in spells, PSG was a bit of a disaster). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTS98 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 NRL 2020 started tonight. Bit of a whimper, to be honest. Eels gubbed the Bulldogs in a pretty tepid affair. Two shite teams. Anybody else watch the NRL. Fitba is shite anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 NRL is decent, good quality rugby league and the players are all raging madmen who love the 'grog' Toronto Wolfpack beat Hudderfield in the Challenge Cup last night, still winless in Super League though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanton Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Pleased to see the NRL back , really enjoy listening to matches on 2GB radio on a Saturday and Sunday morning, the commentary style is certainly a bit different to what we get up here . It's a bit struggle at times to find time to watch that and the super rugby matches and Pro 14 as well but I see the that the Pro1 4 has been suspended , and I guess NRl and rather super rugby might follow suit .Pundits tipping the Roosters to win back to back titles and I'd say they'll be the team to beat again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I think Canberra are possibly in the best shape of anyone this year. They were robbed in the Grand Final last year and unlike Melbourne and the Roosters their squad has got better not worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Cowboys christen their new stadium tonight with a Queensland derby against the Broncos. Could be a cracker. Raiders 12-0 up against the Titans with about 10 minutes of the first half left. Should be an easy victory. These games might be the last for a while as the NRL are going to reassess things tomorrow morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I think a big reason in trying to get the NRL played is if they don't bring the money in the league is fucked. The Nine Network want out of their side of the TV contract and according to this weren’t going to pay a quarterly payment due this month. Imagine Foxtel will also delay payments.https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2020-channel-9-wants-contract-with-rugby-league-torn-up/news-story/1a4a22e101204a84606fec03c4cf8597 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanton Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 NRL boss Peter V'Landys was interviewed on 2GB radio's continuous shorw team show saying they'd like to have the league up and running by June/ July , one thought is that all teams could be isolated in one single location 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
