Nathan Brown's rant after his side's loss to Wigan on Sunday is not the first time the man has last the plot in front of the media.
In his post-match comments at Edinburgh, the Huddersfield coach said: "The officials can do better and protect the small players. I'll quite clearly instruct my players if the officials are going to allow people to hit our key players late and in the head, you do it back."
For the former St George Illawarra boss, it is not the first time he has instructed his players to take the law into their own hands. In 2008 he was so appalled by the tackling techniques of Melbourne in a game at Olympic Park, that he then instructed his players to respond with violence, and called on every other NRL club to turn their games against Melbourne into a bloodbath because that was the only way to beat them.
To me, and with the historical evidence at hand, this is a case of the toys being thrown out of the pram. Huddersfield played very well on Sunday, and it was only a lapse in concentration for ten minutes that really cost them the game.
Brown's criticism of the match officials could see him fined by the RFL like Justin Morgan was earlier in the year.

Melbourne Storm - the immediet impact.
What a turn around for Melbourne Storm.
I don't think too many people expected a crowd of over 23,000 at the club's first home game since the scandal broke in the Australian media. On the day, many people threw down their memorabilia outside the club's HQ with emotions of anger, denial and depression.
Many expected this to be the end of rugby league in Victoria and Melbourne. It appears the exact opposite has happened, confirming that rugby league has a permanent home in AFL territory. Memberships for the club have surged at 100 per day since the news broke, with many of those who requested to cancel their membership having sent withdrawal emails asking to continue their membership.
This is fantastic news for the club and rugby league in general. Granted the club will not play for any points throughout the rest of the season (which is only fair as they are still over the cap) it seems the fans still want a rugby league club in Melbourne.
Overall its fantastic news for the short term future of Melbourne Storm. I'm fully hopeful the club can come away from the scandal better for it. The fans have shown their full support already knowing full well any future success from 2011 onwards will have been hard earned and honest.

The biggest news since Super League ruined the sport.
Wow!
Just, wow!
Rugby League really did produce one of those 'where were you when' moments. I remember where I was on April 22, when I found out Melbourne Storm had broken the salary cap and had been stripped of both NRL Premierships and Minor Premierships since 2006. I was being my typical student self. having just woke up, I switched on my laptop, accessed the News Now website and thought I had woken up on April 1.
I don't think there has been a punishment like it, and highly doubt there ever will be another like it. This was truly a once in a lifetime moment for rugby league fans in both Australia and across the world. On top of the stripped titles, the club will pay back $1.1million of prize money to be distributed between the 15 remaining clubs, and be fined $500,000.
To summarise, under the leadership of then chief executive Brian Waldron, Melbourne Storm operated their salary cap with two sets of books. One to show the cap invigilators, the other to show the real accounts for the club's finances. Once Waldron jumped ship to the new rugby union franchise in Melbourne, the new owners responsible for the running of the club blew the whistle and came clean. From what information was released, the club have over spent on the salary cap for the past five seasons, including a $400,000 breach in 2009, and a projected $700,000 breach for this season.
By all accounts it was a clever system, designed so that there was no possible way the NRL could discover it by themselves. It is also believed to the the brainchild of Waldron, and that none of the players in the past five years knew anything about it.
So where do we begin to dissect the news here?
Lets start with the punishment. Was it justified? Yes, it was. Is it fair on the players and fans? No, not at all.
The reason its justified is that as a club they cheated. Not everyone in the club was aware of the wrong doings, but the senior figures did, and as a result the club has been punished. However, it is deeply unfair on the players, who are only going to take whatever lucrative deal was offered to them individually. As a team and a group of mates, you do not talk about what each player is earning. Deep down you may know you aren't earning as much as the guy next to you, but it is never talked about. You get on with the job of succeeding on the field and playing well.
As for the fans, well they have been cheated. They have been royally screwed over by the club many of them have supported since 1998. The small consolation is, and this goes for the players too, David Gallop can never take away those feeling of joy that were being expressed on September 30, 2007 and on October 4, 2009. Whilst in hindsight those memories may now be tarnished, the thoughts back to that day will still live in the memories of players and fans alike.

Manly put Melbourne to the sword - and stab them repeatedly .
The centenary domestic season came to an end on Sunday as Manly thrashed Melbourne 40-0 to become premiers for the first time since 1996. Brent Kite received the Clive Churchill medal after a domineering performance that saw Melbourne being pegged back time and time again. In my opinion, hat-trick hero Micheal Robertson should have collected it for himself. How often do you score a hat trick on Grand Final night? But there is no point in lingering over it, especially as any of the Manly seventeen could have easily done the same.
Although the scoreline didn't really reflect the story of the game, Manly were without a doubt the better side. At half time, the scoreline of 8-0 in Manly's favour and richly deserved. They battled on as a team and produced a well worked try that sent in Robertson for his first of the game. But as Phil Gould said on the Channel Nine telecast, the intensity in that first forty was little short of Origin standard. And it was brutal, but fair.
Specail mention is Irael Folou who was the Storm's only player who stood out. He was able to burst past Steve Matai twice in the game which Melbourne, on any other day, would have capitalised and scored. Not on Sunday. Not when Manly were as good as they were.
Matt Orford was worthy of a test jersey. As was Brett Stewart, David Williams, Glenn Stewart and Matt Ballin.
I feel for the person or people who will have to hand either Billy Slater or Brett Stewart that number one shirt. I believe it should go to Stewart, although thats not to say Slater didn't try. Slater himself had a pretty consistent game, but Stewart really did step up a gear. Twice he threw obscure passes that went straight to hand to give Robertson his first from between the legs of stewart, and a back-door pass to send Williams in with roughly ten minutes remaining.
So another season over for the NRL. And as ever, it hasn't lacked drama, works of genius and a little bit of magic.

NRL Grand Final.
There is more at stake than just a trophy for Billy Slater of Melbourne and Brett Stewart of Manly. Both players have been instrumental in getting their sides to the Grand Final on Sunday and now one must be ranked higher than the other with the best performer getting to wear that Australian jersey in Sydney on 26th October against New Zealand.
Quite often, selectors have chosen the more experienced player at international level, often believing that if they've done it once before then they can do it again. But in this case both players have been inseparable in terms of playing ability. Both can score tries, both can save tries and both have stood out time and time again.
However, the grand final does not rely on one man to win it for a club. It takes seventeen players each pulling their weight. Many seem to be in form at the moment with Matt Orford running the show. The Dally M winner hasn't let anything get in his way all year and is so influential to the Manly side. On top of that, Steve Menzies will say goodbye to the NRL after this game and will join Bradford for 2009. Hes a player who is as experienced as he is quality. Beating the club record, contraversially, for Manly most number of tries scored in a career last season, he will also hold the joint record for the number of apperances at first grade if he walks out onto the pitch on Sunday.
It will be a match that will be brutal, emotional and will provide plenty of drama. And will also give Manly another taste of success after twelve years waiting.

Focusing on Australia.
When I set this blog up, I intended it to cover all aspects of Rugby League. That includes foreign domestic competitions whenever any news should wind its way into my ears. But so far I have been increasingly taking any news from foreign competitions with a pinch of salt before turning the page in the League Express and start worrying about other things. This is especially true in the case of the NRL this year. So as Setanta Sports finally decide to show three regular season games for the first time this year in the build up to State of Origin II, I think its time I did a brief round up of how things are looking down under, starting with State of Origin II.
So it seems the Queensland selectors took my first piece of advice, drop Karmichael Hunt. Hunt has been selected to come off the bench for the maroons, probably to replace Billy Slater who somehow manages to keep the full back jersey. Steve Price meanwhile, is in for Carl Webb and a shuffle in the three-quarters means Darius Boyd is replacing Justin Hodges. But the big news is Darren Lockyer will play at five-eighth, however there is currently doubt over the fitness of Johnathan Thurston. Scott Prince has been drafted in as, what Mal Meninga calls “a safety net”.
South of the border, New South Wales were no doubt gutted to hear Jarryd Hayne will miss the second match and probably the series. Hayne received a three-match ban on Wednesday, which means he will have no chance of proving himself for selection in the lead up to the final match. Melbourne winger Steve Turner has been brought in to replace the Parramatta three-quarter. However the good news neutralises the bad, as Mark Gasnier was cleared to play centre for the blues after a hamstring scare. In the forwards, Craig Fitzgibbon starts at prop while Steve Simpson and Kurt Gidley will be benchwarmers for the second match. But after all of that I cannot see a blues victory, as the combination of Lockyer and Thurston will split the blues defence like an office paper shredder.
On the field, Sydney Roosters have had an impressive season after missing out on the play offs for the past two seasons. Brad Fittler showed last year his capabilities to be a coach guiding the Sydney side to a rather improved run of form compared to Chris Anderson’s. He has carried this on and managed to guide them to third place after seven games. Melbourne and Manly continue to dominate the head of the league ladder as well, just as they did last year but with more competition. Gold Coast have been the surprise form team this year in only their second season. Just missing out of the play offs in 2007, at one stage of the season they were leading the pack until a badly timed loss to Cronulla dropped them into joint second. Cronulla themselves were another side going strong in the early rounds of the competition, but never improved on early success slipping down a little before catching up with four other sides on sixteen points. Before the season started North Queensland were my tip for Grand Final glory. This seems to have been a mis-judgement as they are second to bottom above South Sydney, who are once again facing the wooden spoon after reaching the play offs last year for the first time since 1989.

Off-field its not good news for the Sydney clubs. NSW government has imposed new taxes, which are starting to cripple the leagues club’s income. Added to the factor of other laws such as a smoking ban and other similarities that are affecting British pubs in this country. League clubs are such a major source of income for Sydney based clubs due to the high amount of competition for supporters, as there are many different teams and sports going on in Sydney. Apart from the nine NRL clubs, there is the AFL’s Sydney Swans, Super 14’s New South Wales Waratahs, Sydney FC participating in the A-League and the New South Wales Blues in cricket. Although the last two are played in the Australian summer, it is still a burden on spectator’s pockets. So what do the Aussies do? Relocate a few Sydney sides? No. Do you not remember the ambitious idea Super League had in 1997? The three expansion clubs didn’t go down too well in Perth, Adelaide and Auckland. Melbourne came after the Super League War and, with league official’s brain in gear after successful attendances in State of Origin matches played at the MCG. But apart from stints eleven years ago, the ARL hasn’t really tried to expand the sport further apart than the eastern states. If the NRL were to relocate, the ARL has to start playing State of Origin matches in Perth, Adelaide and Darwin first, before setting up a club to locate there on a regular basis. But this is a complex idea for the stability of NRL clubs, whoever and wherever they may be. Not necessarily a solution.

Many happy returns to Australian Rugby League.
The best domestic competition in world Rugby League kicked off last week when South Sydney faced rival team Sydney Roosters. It was no coincidence that two of the Australian founder clubs (Roosters then being Eastern Suburbs) were to begin the centenary season down under. It was all smiles and jubilations as the two teams got stuck into each other like flour and butter. However, the injury to Craig Wing saw fans up in arms about the legality of tackling from behind. Wing was left with a dislocated shoulder after Riley Brown’s shoulder charge knocked it out of its socket. Now while this caused a stir, I stood back and looked at the tackle on a well known video sharing website. Having seen the footage that was broadcast on Channel Nine, the two Roosters’ players are about to complete the tackle when Brown hits Wing. Wing is crouched down attempting to get down and play the ball, but the only parts of his body touching the grass are his feet, added to the fact he is still moving trying to get to the ground. Therefore Brown’s tackle is legal, even if it is completely unnecessary.
The reason the NRL is the best in the world is due to brilliantly executed tries and humungous tackles. There is no finer example of huge hits than Josh Perry’s tackle on Ben Ross in the Manly V Cronulla match at Brookvale Oval. The tackle knocked Ross out cold and the Cronulla player missed the rest of the game with the possibility of missing at least one more. Perry however, did not come out of the tackle lightly. As Perry attempted to tackle Ross, both players clashed heads which is actually why Ross was knocked out. Perry came out of it with a nasty cut above his eye that was running with blood. In that match, Manly lost despite taking the lead. There was no real reason for them to lose it except Cronulla wanted to take the two points back to their beach. They basically played the better rugby after Ben Ross was taken from the field.
It was business as usual at Suncorp Stadium. Not for Brisbane, but for Penrith. They took the wooden spoon last year and look favourites to take it again after their abysmal performance against Wayne Bennett’s side, where Cory Parker broke the club record for the most number of goals scored in a single match. The second rower scored ten from ten beating Darren Lockyer’s and other former players’ record of nine from nine. Petero Civoniceva played against his old club for his new club and was the only Penrith player who had a half decent game.
Billy Slater’s hat-trick within twenty five minutes formed the foundations of a Melbourne win in their first home game since their Grand Final victory against Manly back in October. Played at the Telstra Dome in front of just over twenty thousand (making the overall attendance for an opening NRL round another record) who saw New Zealand Warriors fight until the death. The score line may actually look flattering to the New Zealand side, who had Steve price ruled out for eight weeks, as they struggled to compete with last year’s Premiers. Controversy was avoided just before the second half kicked off as Melbourne failed to return onto the pitch when the Warriors did, making the away side wait for the restart. New Zealand eventually made Melbourne wait for the kick off as they retreated to the sideline for a drink just as the home team walked out of the tunnel. The delay meant there was a half time period of just over eighteen minutes.
As it is Easter this week, Setanta Sports have delivered us English fans of the game a treat. There will be a double header on Saturday 22nd March with Penrith taking on Canberra at 06:30 GMT, and Newcastle hosting Manly straight after until 10:30. As for the Sunday game, well no one seems to know. Setanta say they are showing Canberra V St George Illawarra (tough week for Canberra) while another site says SKY NZ will show New Zealand V Parramatta at a completely different KO time. Seeing as only one of those fixtures is right, I’d put my money on it being NZ V Eels. 02:45 GMT start, KO fifteen minutes later. But don’t hold me on that.

Super League's second round build up.
St Helens V Warrington
Undoubtably the tie of the round. While Saints may have lost last week I doubt they will take this game as lightly and I predict a solid comfortable win for them. This is coming from a Warrington fan who witnessed a half decent performance last week against a wounded Hull team. However I don't think we will have the performance within ourselves to pull it off. If Warrington are going to win tonight it will be because Saints are going to have a slow start to the season.
Wakefield V Leeds
Wakefield's shock win last week could extend into a second if (and I cannot stress this point enough) Leeds are starting to put one eye firmly on their World Club Challenge match against Melbourne. They proved last week that they are focused on their Super League games but it is human instict to focus on bigger things. With the match only two weeks away, could the players be worried about injury or suspention?
Wigan V Castleford
Wigan will win unless Castleford can improve on their error filled performance last week. While they may have been given the shakes by Quins, Wigan showed in the scoreline they can urn it on when needed. Cas will struggle tonight because Wigan have too much to prove to their home fans.
Bradford V Huddersfield
Speaking of having something to prove to their fan base, Bradford should expect a hostile reception when they walk out tomorrow. Their loss to Wakefield was without a doubt a disappointment but they should re-group and perform their magic. Huddersfield will push them though and possibly expect a tight finish.
Catalan V Hull KR
I'm going for a Catalan win. Firstly because its in France and secondly because Hull KR will not repeat the show they put on to host Saints. In fact, if I'm honest I should be tiping a Hull KR win because that display was superb and Catalan were poor against Cas. But then again Hull KR only just fought off a Saints comeback. I will go Catalan to win, but only because of home advantage and their record at home last season.
Hull FC V Harlequins
With Gareth Carvell another player seeing Dr Fish at the Royal Squid Hospital of Kingston upon Hull, his side are dropping worse than fish is Shrek's bathtub. However the return of Gareth Raynor is a plus for Peter Sharp who should be feeling the pressure from the inpatient board of directors who fail to understand that you cannot possibly win in Super League with so many injured bodies in the ranks. I expect Sharp to go because of this in less than five weeks time.
