Here's one for you Cokey and no peeking at Wiki who was the first British group to have a no1 in America.

Ha ha, reffy beat me to it - Telstar by the tornados Dec 1962. However, David Rose & his orchestra hit the top with The Stripper in July 1962.

The 1st british solo artist to it the top in America was Mr. Acker Bilk with Stranger on the Shore in May 1962.

The nrl uaed to have a "song for the season"..... Tina turners simply the best was one i recall.
Given the ability of the sl chairmen to secure no major deals or imcome after breaking away from the rfl, maybe they should use a catchy nimber to market the current season.
The Dead Kennedy's "Too drunk to F%/7" would be a cracking song for this years opening credits to the SL show

1. Super League sides play the damn ball. Am sick of SL and its ridiculous lack of the PTB. Makes the game look a joke.

2. NZ Warriors actually have a good season

3. Toronto make the playoffs

Another thing would be the TV coverage.

Can we get some new graphics from Sky. They have used those robot men for years now and its time for something new.

Also please no more referees in the commentary box!!!

Get rid of Pinky and Perky. No idea what those two earn but whatever it is it's too much.

Stuart Cummings has left SKY. Thank God.

Unfortunately we still have Terry O'Connor, Barrie McDermott, Phil Clarke, Bill Arthur and Ben Proe.
