  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 503
  It was briefly talked about as being a one-off game in this year’s Four Nations, but for 2010, we need the Ashes back so Australia and England can meet more than just once and also to guarantee good matches on Australian turf.

• Queensland State of Origin kicking riches

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 503
  I thought I’d pose a question to roar readers I have been pondering for a while: Why is Jonathan Thurston taking conversion attempts from the right sideline? The thought fist came to me while watching recent State of Origin series and was brought back to mind with the recent four nations tournament. With the ...

  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 503
  The date November 9th was a pivotal day in the life of the fledgling Greater Western Sydney AFL team for two important reasons. The first of course was the appointment of legendary coach Kevin Sheedy as the team’s inaugural coach. The second, while less obvious may be even more critical. It was the AFL unveiling ...

• Who will replace Darryn Lockyer?

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 503
  There is no logical answer as to who will replace Darryn Lockyer, but certainly both Queensland and Australia will be weakened, not just on field, but with the leadership that the great man brings to his team off the field. Darren Lockyer (born 24 March 1977 in Brisbane) is the current captain of the Australian ...

• Dragons achilles heel is long white socks

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 503
  Opposition supporters say they’re chokers. Wayne Bennett said they were unlucky. But I know the real reason St George-Illawarra failed to win the premiership: LONG WHITE SOCKS. Wearing long white socks has never done anyone any good. They were for scrawny men in safari suits and five year old boys forced to go to ...

  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 503
  The NRL says it’s willing to take a pay hit on its new television rights agreement if it means they can have a fixed calendar of matches.

  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 503
  All the talk lately about a new CEO and captain at Manly makes me wonder about the future of the club. As a Manly local – but not a fan – the names being bandied about are disturbing. For the club CEO position, the favourite is 61 year old former coach, Graham Lowe. Now, Lowey might have had limited success ...

• Why do we need two rugby teams in Melbourne?

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 503
  This was reportedly the response when some Melburnians were asked how they felt when their city was awarded the latest Super rugby franchise. Not a great shock, it must be said. The majority of “sports-lovers” in Melbourne can’t tell a scrum from a tackle. It’s only mildly surprising that they don’t stand ...

• A joke of Gold, Sliver and Bronze proportions

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 503
  The Crawford Review on our Olympic campaign is an absolute insult to our nation. For starters, the credibility of the panel went missing in its appointment. Not one person on the panel was from the Olympic fraternity. There were three AFL people and an NRL board member. The closest Olympic member of the panel was ...
