They spent 25 years in a British jail. Found guilty of possession of an offensive accent. |

disappointing to see melboune for the 2nd year running leave all the top names at home. would it have hurt to send one of the stars to auckland??
the bulldogs treated it like dirt, des hasler never even showed up. i wouldn't mind seeing the NRL ask which teams would rather now take part and replace them with super league sides.

the "gloss" seems to have vanished somewhat, but the winners do pick up a decent cheque.......I suspect if it lasts 3 more years It'll end up on the Gold coast during school holidays... |

To be frank. The clubs don't fancy it much and see it as an inconvenience. They are told how many top players to play etc etc.
It's amazing how in the last two years players have been "injured" before the tournament and can't play. Nudge nudge wink wink.

If you get chance to watch the ladies test matches at the nines don't miss it. Highlight of the weekend. Its a great concept and nines is the perfect balance of attack and defence. Nines could be the format to take RL global, if we had leadership with any sort of vision.

| JB down under, it is a great concept taken from Unions rugby 7s. How ironic that you of all people should be praising Union  |

Really? I seem to remember Leeds and, I think, Wigan hosting 7s tournaments in the mid 70s. Didn't enjoy them much. They probably date from much earlier than that as that's only the time when I started watching the game.

Rugby 7s has been played since 1883 at Melrose RFC and has been going ever since.

Didn't watch it ............... I find 9's very dull, and would be interested to know why those who watched it, found it entertaining ........... for me, there's no defence; no big hits; and too much space for attackers, which makes it too easy to score; it just appears to be an endless stream of unopposed running, passing and try scoring.
