Looking at the 9s draw, I don't think Fittler and Menzies can play against each other unless it's a Roosters v Sea-Eagles final unfortunately.

Menzies probably can, didn't he just finish up in Superleague last season? The guy is indestructible.

Yeah he only retired last year and he was one of the fittest guys on the team, he was tracking back to prevent break away tries every time I watched them last year. Not so fast anymore so a bit odd for 9s mind.

I plan to make $5000 from rugby league bets in 2014. If anyone is interested, I can post my bets here and we can keep track of how well this doesn't go.

My perspective as a Yank is that, whereas League is Football but with the boring parts removed, Cricket is Baseball without the exciting, fast-paced action for which Baseball is famous.

I'm confused why you didn't say cricket and baseball are both boring as gently caress. Sadly I watch both because alcohol improves everything except being a Bradford Bulls fan or the chances of a Canberra Raiders Next Big Thing staying at the club. E: Jesus gently caress Foran was one of the sleeping pill gamers? ANZAC test this year is going to be even more brutal than usual.

What a superb performance from Saints. Nice to see that in Luke Walsh we've got a competent kicker for the first time since Sean Long left. Warrington were dire though, as bad as we were on the first match against Huddersfield last year.

OK so the Nines are on tomorrow, here are some things about that courtesy of NRL.com: Background The Dick Smith NRL Auckland Nines is a live 31 game two-day rugby league extravaganza: - 16 NRL teams with over 256 players will compete - Star players are contractually guaranteed - Teams will be made up of nine players across four pools of four - AU$2.25 million dollars in prize money - Almost 90,000 fans expected over two days. The tournament is thanks to a partnership between the NRL and New Zealand's Duco Events, Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) and Dick Smith. ATEED are the foundation host city sponsor and will invest $NZ 9 million over five years while Dick Smith is also on board through to 2018. Prize money available is a record New Zealand sport's purse of $AUD 2.25 million. Winning team ($AUD370,000), runner-up ($AUD240,000), semi-finalists ($AUD165,000), quarter-finalists ($AUD130,000) and round robin losers ($AUD110,000). Rule Changes: Introduction of the Bonus Zone a five point try for tries scored in the in-goal area between the goal posts at each end. All tries scored outside the bonus zone will remain four pointers Introduction of 'GoldenTry' - where if teams are drawn at fulltime in extra time the first team to score a try wins with the 'Golden try' Goal-kicks will not feature in the tournament with dropkicks taken in line from where the try was scored worth two points. Penalty dropkicks will be worth two points with a field goal in general play remaining at one point. Scrums will consist of five players from each team and will only be used in the event of a double knock-on or a mutual infringement. In the event of a successful 40/20 kick, play will recommence with a tap re-start to the kicking team 20 metres in from where the ball crossed the touch line. Matches will be re-started by the scoring team through a drop kick off Referees will have the power to send players to the sin-bin for five minutes for foul play.

If your stuck with Telstra for a landline provider, it's quota free.

There's no way Soward is an improvement on anyone. Watching the dragons play hull, has hull's kicker ever kicked a goal before? I do like the video ref now but the ground announcer thing is a bit silly, especially with him being so unsure of himself. It puts me in the mind of a high school swim meet with a gawky teenager trying to announce results over a squeaky megaphone. E: also the ref headset is hilarious looking. The guy looks like he's out of an eighties gym. iajanus fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Feb 14, 2014 |

Luke Walsh had probably his best ever season last year, but it mostly came after Gould had already shitcanned him for this season and signed Soward and Wallace who are both worse at everything.
