    Ben Flower got a 13-game ban for the hit on Lance Hohaia which will rule him out of two preseason trials,the world club challenge,and ten super league games. He will not be able to play until April next year. He pleaded guilty to a grade F violent and aggressive punching charge. It is the longest suspension charge ever handed down by the RFL. The previous record was held by former Wigan hooker Terry Newton who was suspended for seven matches in 2005.

    How serious is Parramatta about chasing Falou? And what chance would they have with the rugby world cup coming up? I have also heard Foran is looking for a new club,just not sure where. He would be a good player for any club.

    From what i have seen and read England is going to have a very good side this year for the four nations. The NRL based English players have all had strong seasons. Widdop and Graham had very good seasons. But i don't think Samoa are going to be easy beats as some have predicted. New Zealand are always a mixed bag and i always find it hard to understand the up and down performances they have,but as always i want them to win.

    Will Inglis Be The Next To Leave The NRL?

    No guarantees have been given by Greg Inglis but Kangaroos captain Cameron Smith is convinced the South Sydney superstar will end his career in the NRL. Inglis is expected to be the next poster boy targeted by rival sports after Jarryd Hayne's sensational decision to try his hand at NFL. It emerged Inglis was offered $2 million a year by the French Rugby Union earlier this season but knocked it back because he wanted to focus on premiership with the Rabbitohs. Now that he has helped to break South Sydney's 43-year title drought and seen Hayne make a bold call,there are fears Inglis might become the latest big name player to abandon the NRL. It would be a devasting blow for a code also reeling from the defection of Sonny Bill Williams and Sam Burgess to rugby. And Inglis would not have eased any nerves at NRL headquarters when he spoke of his future as the Kangaroos assembled yesterday at their Four Nations training camp in Brisbane. "My future is in rugby league for now but doors are always there to be opened to see what is on the other side," he said. "I put everything on hold to concentrate on the ultimate goal of winning a premiership with the bunnies. Now i will keep my options open." However,Inglis-who has two years left on his South Sydney deal-vowed not to break his NRL contract to pursue other sports. He said if lured away from league,it would be for the challenge not the money.

    I would hate to see him leave,but 2 million a season would be very hard to turn down.

    And the scabby Broncos got off scot free as usual. Should be renamed the Teflon Team, nothing ever sticks to them.

    As an aside, does anyone know the true story of how the Broncos took over the Wests Juniors and Old Boys Club? The club offered the hand of friendship to the then new Broncos to use their facilities when the Broncos had none. Founding members mortgaged their houses to start that club. After the Broncos took over life members were told they had to join the Broncos Leagues Club. Some very bitter Wests supporters came out of that.

    A bit of a political stunt as well.....

    The TAFE attendance has also been falling dramatically in recent years.

    The four Nations will be a good contest, England with the Burgess Bros. & Graham, plus some handy players, Kiwis with the usual tough & skilful mob, Australia with a new group of talented young players. Looking forward to it, Bob [ Did any one watch the Junior Kangaroos V the junior Kiwis on the weekend? what a game. I thought the Kangaroos were a bit disrespectful to the Haka, but it was great theatre]

    G'day Bob, I think both sides got a little bit carried away during the Haka, I think when the Aussies stand firm together it shows the Kiwi's that its game on. It looks like a few of the Samoan boys had a big night in the Valley. Looks like a 'incident' with police and will face court. Samoan players were fighting with another group of men and police were called in,but the players refused to co-operate with them. Cowboys center Tautau Moga was arrested and it is said Reni Maitua was involved, Samoa coach Matt Parish had no idea about it on the way to training. The police and the NRL are investigating the matter.
