    NRL Finals 2011

    I couldn't find an NRL 2011 thread so made this: Ok I know a lot of the guys on here hate League (Mungoball) but I love it and will try to watch as much of the finals series as I can. Here's my run down of the finals series. I didn't talk about the forwards much because all they do is crash it...

    Height and Weight Exaggerations in Rugby

    Rugby Kits and Style

    Having recently read an article about how AFL players are the scruffiest sportsmen on the planet and how Chris Latham was somewhat lambasted earlier in his career for his socks down approach, I have decided to write this article. I was wondering whilst in your playing days how you wore your...

    Oh Sheet

    Richie McCaw is looking to stay in NZ after the world cup and not head north to Europe. The attraction of a end-of-career payday in France or England has become a trend for All Blacks, Springboks and Wallabies and the rumour mill is already clogged with stories of big names on the move after...

    15 Man Rugby

    The Aussie schoolboys website 15 man rugby has finally closed down, which is a great shame because the guy who owned it went to nearly every queensland GPS game and the national schoolboy champs. He was also an avid follower of the national schoolboy team. I would like to get in contact with...

    The Holy Grail

    After much deliberation and many videos I have found evidence that Adam Ashley-Cooper can indeed pass, even though it was a pop i think it still counts. 0:27 seconds AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) passes to Peter Hynes for his first pass of 2009. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=greenandgoldrugby#p/u/92/tjLP4zFTXyE...

    JOC (James O'Connor)

    I was just looking back at some photos from 2006 and 2007 of Nudgee rugby. JOC (James O'Connor) is currently listed as 84 kgs on the WA site and i was wondering if anyone knew roughly what weight he was in his last year at nudgee before he joined WF. From the pictures he looks pretty lightweight so i would...
