Benji Marshall is keen to get more money from a fake union switch apparently.

Actually agree with this tipping a top four of 1 Sharks 2 Manly 3 Raiders 4 Storm

Canberra are the value bet for mine.

Easily.

Team being tipped to win the wooden spoon being in the top 4.

Good odds there.

Just read that Aaron Gorrell looks likely to miss the entire 2009 season, shattering for us as he was signed to replace Ennis, just dont think PJ Marsh can cut it in the NRL anymore. Andrew McCulloch will have to step up now, he looked a class above in the Toyota cup at times, but his few NRL appearances were disapointing for mine, I hope he can perform.

Cameron Smith re-signs with Melbourne.

Cowboys are good value in my opinion, top 4 material, I wonder if they can get to the Grand Final. Roosters have no depth, hopefully we don't lose too many players during the Origin period, but then really we would have to be playing bad, and our regular star Origin players having a poor season.

Cowboys look good on paper but they still have no hope of even making the finals without Thurston, Bowen and O'Donnell firing.

Maitua will be heading to Souths on a back-ended contract you heard it here first.

Where'll the Bunnies end up?

Check the first page, I've already said this a week ago.

Rugby League Manager

For those that enjoy football manager etc... have only opened it up quickly and had a look, seems pretty difficult but mildly interesting. Will have a more indepth play of it tomorrow I think

 

[luffy]

Looks very good, but is NRL included in it?

 

[chaminda_00]

Not from what I can see. Got bored after five minutes, but that just me.

 

[luffy]

Downloaded it but came up with this warning:

Switching to the Direct3D referance rasterizer, a software device that implements the entire Direct3D feature set, but runs very slowly. Do you want to continue?

Just ignored it, and opened it, and it was very, very slow.

Anyone know how to fix it?

 

[Simon]

check the website, they have ways to correct technical issues.

Fai missing, presumed dead

Not the best start to 2009 for the NRL, sadly.

Very sad for his friends and family.
