I'll review this and my first thought is that the references really need some sorting with lots of bare refs, missing access dates and error messages. These will need to be sorted in order for it to be promoted.:

Remove the space between the full stop and the ref in the opening - Done Anderch (talk) 01:28, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Premiership should be capitalized at every mention - Done Anderch (talk) 01:28, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Brisbane Broncos should be lined at first mention - Done Anderch (talk) 01:28, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The first sentence of the 2000s section should be reworded - Done Anderch (talk) 03:10, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Try to avoid sandwiching text between images - OK but I'm not sure what you mean Anderch (talk) 03:10, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Newcastle should be linked at first mention (as with all other clubs) - Done Anderch (talk) 03:15, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What is "Country Origin"? - Done Link Fixed up Anderch (talk) 03:15, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
the "In 2007" paragraph needs to be reworded as it appears very WP:NPOV - Done reworded Anderch (talk) 06:57, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

St George Illawarra should only be linked first - Done Anderch (talk) 06:57, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Check the previous GA reviews - I did check but the Article has changed quite considerably since these were done so I am trying to draw a line in the sand and get a totally fresh review done. Anderch (talk) 07:04, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The refs are the main issues that needs to be cleaned up. Once these have been fixed, I'll take another look. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 14:32, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have applied all suggestions above to get article to Good Article status. Anderch (talk) 07:04, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, however the references are still a mess. They need to be formatted correctly with a retrieval date and titles corrected. Ref 8 has an error with the template for example. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:21, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok no problem.......I will look into the refs over the next few days... Cheers! Anderch (talk) 11:10, 28 April 2013 (UTC) Update . All references have now been checked and links all confirmed. Over the coming days I will fix up the formatting. 03:36, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have now reformatted all the incorrectly formatted refs so now they are more uniform. All refs are verified and links work. Please advise if there is anything else. Anderch (talk) 04:04, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have indeed. I am promoting it as a GA. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 05:34, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
