NRL 2021

You would have to think Ricky is on the nose with his players. Had an ordinary season - lost the pommie half - & now the hooker to the Tigers. Are his people skills up to scratch ?

This new NRL club in Queensland has its eye on a few Melbourne Storm players , who have come to Melbourne from Queensland. Munster is No 1 target.

If I had to pick one player to be Dolphins main man it would be. Hmm, let me think on it. It wouldn't be Munster. Not Cody Walker - he'll be 33 by the time they start.

All the class players went to one team and there they stayed . Winning the comp was a foregone conclusion . especially with no 6 tackle rule. We knew no better so we worshipped them and only a few relatives supported any other teams.

Laver swam in a much smaller tennis pool than we have now. If Djokovic or Medvedev, for example, were around in Rocket's day they wouldn't play him. Did the Swiss play pro tennis way back when?

Can't compare tennis then and now if even because racquets these days are twice as big as they were and lend themselves to the power game and are far more forgiving off-centre than they were in the day.

Would be interesting too to see some of our little princesses of today playing in the conditions of that grand final of /63 for 20 quid  get a grip some of you , I was only commenting on how much I enjoyed watching the trip down memory lane by some fair dinkum f....King real men , then a couple of negative types came in and tipped a bucket on the whole post  laver was thrown in spontaneously , sorry to hurt your little feelings Tlaz . 

 who cares?

Has the mass exodus ended at Souffs?

Havili will likely offer support to rep lock Cameron Murray as well as star hooker Damien Cook.

Utility Connor Watson and Momorovski are our only purchases so far, both returning so know the system. We need a goal kicker badly.
