Had NSW not kicked it out in goal in the set preceding Thurston's (spectacular) drop goal, I reckon they could've pinched it. Cracking match.

SOO took a few years to catch on even in NSW and QLD but they stuck with it and its become a huge event.'"
it started off with crowds of 25k+...it has grown over the years and is seen as a must watch TV event on a Wednesday night.......on Free to Air TV.
England v Exiles or English Origin needs to be on the BBC/ITV and needs to be shown in a stadium that is packed....so start in Leigh...sell tickets for a fiver, give the rights to FTA and let it build slowly......within 10 years, it will have attracted more interest, tickets will become harder to get and you can look at selling the TV rights at a premium...
Currently it's of little interest to RL fans, let alone anyone else...... |

Plenty of "afters" in the tackle...more and more of it creeping into the NRL. It's only a matter of time until someone gets badly hurt.
IMHO, The NRL has become more about the contact and less about the Skill......it's easy to throw a dummy or a step when the idiot facing you is trying to hurt you rather than stop you. |

You're not allowed to say that, we all know the NRL is the best thing since sliced bread!

It's rugby league, brutal as hell from minute one. Superleague has nothing on it.

How did 2 refs, 2 TJ and a VR miss the punch that was thrown by Tait into the face of the tackled player on the ground? Then give the penalty to the retaliating player.
Everything is about the head. Elbows in the face on the ground, getting up of the player by pressing the head into the ground...... rubbish
The game won’t grow when it’s promoted and poorly managed like that was. Great it’s tough but cheaply tough.

Alan Tait playing origin now?? Gallen threw the first punch at the ptb if you watch it, Tate hit Greg Bird in one of the 4 separate tussles! Its origin always a bit of niggle as Gallen said in first match origin has different rules!! 3 sell out crowds 60,000+, 80,000+ and 50,000+ not doing too bad!!! Oh and Tate has been charged! |

Charged? Surely it's not an offence  to hit Greg Bird? |
