a good result IMO would be a loss of less than 20
Good point.
I think Geoff Toovey is probably the only exception.

The best thing Geoff Toovey ever did was headbutt Adam MacDougall's boot studs in the 1997 Grand Final.

great news. there seems to be genuine commitment to developing the game internationally. with richard lewis overseeing most of the northern hemisphere developements (not forgettign of course kevin rudd of the RLEF) the world cup and other tournaments show grow. the european nations tournaments has huge potential, especially with wales now having a super league team and france poised to make decent strides.
in earlier articles the RLIF singled out france as a sleeping giant and south asrica as a country with huge potential. obviously some countries are more advanced and funds shouldnt be distributed evenly IMO

Might do it as well. It will be 4 years since I left then
Do you think you will make the trip to Port Morseby for the Pacific Nations cup?
The winner plays in the 4N in 2010.

PNG won't happen because the timing isn't good for me. I wouldn't mind going one day. A mate of mine was there for two years working for DFAT and loved it.
When do you return to Oz bazza? Are you working for Skolars atm?

Leave here at the end of August and get back in December.
Haven't done anything with Skolars this year - too many other things to do unfortunately.

Better than that squad, NZ is playing Tonga in Rotorua before they fly over to the UK. Good news for the NZ public.
