League has always, or nearly always, been run in a Micky Mouse way with too much in fighting. I believe Union maybe suffering a little of this at the moment. his years NPC has been great .. just saw the Bucket Heads thrash Harbour and guess what team is likely to go down? Anyway .. go the 3rd favourite Kiwi's, tomorrows game will be tough BUT League is a tough game (too hard for me) but the main thing is the final. And yes, Bluey is doing great things at Leeds good call Grant .. nice to have a positive read.

There were about 100 aspects of the game on every sheet. After the game, the players would have to watch the game and assess themselves on every aspect on the sheet. So they learnt where their skills were lacking, and what they could do to improve their game, and more importantly, were motivated to do that. That is the Kiwi Team won the Tri-Nations, and Stacey Jones called it the best environment he'd been in.
