Lately I have been watching more and more of the English league - well worth a watch for the ex players and the speed of the game. Glenn has really been hitting his straps lately...see below http://www.foxsports.com.au/video/league/super-league/all-aussie-catalans-try!525899
Brett S would be a real hit over there and the slower pace ( most games) could extend his footy life. Hate to see him go but would be nice to see him have one final stint with his brother.
People didn't like it. But Toovs made the tuff calls when they needed to be made. I wasn't happy with the Brent Kite call. Toovs proves me wrong. The former coach. What a legend.!
Classic Gift. Drifts across field throws a dummy on the inside then puts a cut out on someone's chest. What a player was for us.
We miss Gifty's distribution skills and guile. He and his brother lit up our club for a decade. We were truly blessed.
Playing in the ESL must be like a walk in the park after the intensity of the NRL. No wonder those players with genuine football ability continue to shine once the physicality is dialled down a notch or two.
crowd numbers are low but not that desperate that we need to pay hundreds of thousands to have someone sit in the stands most games
it would be interesting if Nein put an ESL match on Gem @ 4pm Sundays, to see which one would rate higher. Some of those Sunday TV games are so contrived and Ho hum. OK, the local match would get more ratings, at first. - BUT not by that much.
Further to this, what would the ratings be on the northern beaches for Catalans matches if that club do the right thing and secure contracts with Brett, Killer, Skivvy, and praps big Willy as well as Gifty for next year ? Cmon Catalan s'il vous plait
