  • 9. White_Pointer - Monday, April 18, 2005 - 3:04:15 PM
    This better be a HUGE improvement over the POS the original game was. Uggh, with all the bugs and gameplay issues how the hell did that thing ever get through QA? Note to Sidhe...don't release another pile of crap please...give the great game of Rugby League the video game it deserves.

    it sounds good the state of origin during the season should be good but i think if you win the grand final the players should do a lap of honour that would be cool whats crackin jhonny

  • 14. [j0hn] - Saturday, May 28, 2005 - 4:54:48 PM
    this game sounds really good
    i hope hey include special skills like sonny bill williams will be his shoulder charge tackle, benji marshall side step and matt utai trademark slamming the ball when scoring a try . . . that would make the game heaps better :)

  • 23. matt utai no.1 supporter - Thursday, June 23, 2005 - 7:45:24 PM
    i think the halves should be at 1st reciever and 2nd reciever like in real life instead of standing on the wing! and u should be able 2 get a kick away without everytime with ease and u should be able 2 challenge 4 the high ball and leap instead of just standing on the ground waiting 4 the ball 2 come down and no more high tackles and spear tackles every set of 6 and the wingers should stay on da wing centres stay in position ext and halves should actually GET THE BALL the graphics should IMPROVE
  • 24. guy - Wednesday, June 29, 2005 - 7:10:49 PM
    there should b sprint tests
  • 25. matt sing - Friday, July 01, 2005 - 5:43:23 PM

  • 33. lil jon - Tuesday, July 26, 2005 - 7:25:32 PM
    i agree lil jon whos me i hav ritten like 20 thingos i aint just writ da lil jon 1s
  • 34. otto - Sunday, July 31, 2005 - 2:51:19 PM
    I think it would be better if players could makes mistakes, like taking an air swing at the ball when they are going for a kick and they should be able to bat the ball out of players hands when they dive for the line, well at least try to. And also, it would be better if they had a better way of sprinting, my x button is getting worn out.
  • 35. lil jon - Saturday, August 13, 2005 - 5:21:13 PM
    use r2 as the sprint button it works well especially how it enables x the main button to be special
  • 36. Nat kicks everybidy this is lil jon s friend - Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 4:02:45 PM

  • 37. the plAYA - Friday, August 19, 2005 - 8:26:19 PM

  • 38. jimmy - Wednesday, August 24, 2005 - 6:17:37 PM
    this game sounds like its going to be a big hit. Fully sick mate. Does anyone know when the video trailer is coming out?
  • 39. West tigers rule and go benji marshall - Wednesday, August 24, 2005 - 6:58:45 PM
    benji marshall should be able to have full stepping and then he can kick all the other crap teams butts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!go scott prince
  • 40. gggggggg g unit...........is gay - Wednesday, August 24, 2005 - 7:01:34 PM
    go scott price and brett hodgson and benji marshall they should be the australian team and those 3 would win the world series
  • 41. lil jon - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - 9:27:03 PM
    u all no karmichael hunt has a better step benji marshall is very much overated scott prince makes him look better than he is he is like a winger not a play maker he is very quick and great feet the thing with his step is yhat it is quick were hunts is a longer process marshall simply has not a lot of movement before yhe step but he gets a lot of actual movement from a step this is what beats defenders a quik step and great acceleration before the defender reacts hes gone hunts step is more a very rare occassion which is why marshall is wrapped more we se it more but that step on ben hornby from last year WOW !!!!! everyone said that hunt also beats more players with it were marshall half the time he steps right in to em

    Why don't they include the fashion contest i done with the other pretty boys. And don't make the tackles so hard because i like my body just the way it is. Oh and one more thing - in the game, can you not make my nose the actual size (it will take up the whole screen). Ok good-bye boys.
