English league and union should merger so we have a bigger talent pool.

So you don't like to be entertained.

Each to their own

Of course I like to be entertained. And was tonight by the Eels, who were excellent in dismantling Manly. Doesn't alter the fact that the Souths game was dull, dull, dull.

Yeh it was a boring 5 drive and kick affair for the most part. Neither souths or Broncos have much creativity. Parra have sandow and manly have DCE/Foran and it certainly made a difference in the way the game was played. Melbourne set the trend for structured safety first and had great trophy success with it. Souths have followed their lead.

One NRL team that will not likely bore, but more likely dazzle this year is Sydney Roosters. With Mitchell Pearce in career best attacking form, and Michael Jennings and Blake Ferguson in the centres, plus Roger Tuivasa-Scheck at full back, it is likely to be razzle dazzle from the Bondi boys. Another exciting club is NZ Warriors with Shaun Johnson taking the lead. The only SL team capable of entertaining like those two clubs is the Todd Carney + Scott Dureau led Catalans Dragons.

Just cracked a tinnie to watch them v Cowboys. Should be the game of the round.
