anyone know if NRL is available to watch at the moment on internet?

Half time Bulldogs v Eagles (Setanta), Bulldogs running away with it.

Intersting to see how much the ruck has been cleaned up in the NRL this season. Add that to SL slowing the ruck down a little, both comps look to be very similiar in their interpretation of the laws - could make for more competative internationals in the long run.

Do you think NRL penalise the grapple tackle more? kimmorley looks good, wheres Orford?

Definately. Like I said earlier, when it comes to controlling the ruck area it would appear that the NRL and SL have tried to meet somewhere in the middle.

With the introduction of the 2 ref system in Aus, It looks like it has speeded the game up a tad. Which the NRL needed.

Jamal Idris is a specimen.

Big fooker isn't he !

grapple is being outlawed
