Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Brisbane Broncos are injury ravaged and in worlds of pain. They have lost star prop Payne Haas, the best front row forward in the game until at least round 14, by which time it might be too late. Halfback and playmaker Adam Reynolds is out indefinitely after copping a bad head knock, and handily […]
Certain readers of ours have been shouting from the rooftops that this was the Year of the Dogs. The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. They are kidding themselves. It is the Year of the Cowboys. We smashed them tonight. Canterbury are bums. Goodnight Doggies. Your season is over. Go back to school. Oh, you’re already there. We took […]
As we predicted on Monday night, Jarome Luai has signed on to become the foundation captain of the PNG Chiefs. And what a coup for the new franchise he is too. The new team in the rugby league mad nation now has a 4-time premiership winner as its captain in the halves, the all-time greatest […]
Is Jarome Luai waving goodbye Tigers or hello Chiefs? NRL clubs should be afraid, very afraid, if Tigers captain Jarome Luai – who was feted by all of Papua New Guines during he and his family’s whirlwind trip on a private jet to Port Moresby on the weekend, including the Prime Minister who sat beside […]
All week the so-called experts have been carrying on about how superb the Penrith Panthers are, and how it seemed unlikely that any team could possibly beat them this season. Pshaw. That might have been the case in the pre-salary cap days, but it ain’t anymore. The salary cap has put an end to unbeaten […]
So Zac Lomax has signed a Super Rugby contract with the duddest side in the comp the Western Force, who haven’t finished better than 8th in the last 5 seasons. And the clown who took the fake money to join the cornflakes box R360 comp against PVL’s best advice thinks it’s going to give him […]
The Broncos looked flat and disjointed in being thrashed by Penrith and the Titans found that, as industriously as the impressive Hannay has been working behind the scenes, when you rebuild a club from the bottom up it will take time. Months at least, maybe years … Chris Fagan picked up a wooden spoon when […]
All the brainless pundits are telling you that the Brisbane Broncos are cactus because they lost 26-nil to the Panthers on the weekend. Puh-lease. This is a team that got touched up by the Canberra Raiders in round 2 last year too. Who cares? They went on to win the Grand Final didn’t they? The […]
It looks like Payne Haas agrees with PVL about R360 being a competition out of a cornflakes box. Superman don’t eat cornflakes. Haas is staying at home. V’Landys breathes a sigh of relief. https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/payne-haas-tells-nrl-associate-he-plans-to-stay-at-brisbane-broncos-amid-r360-fears/news-story/36c316f2c905e3829267fa3ccd0bed49
Due to an internet banking problem (Maggie had changed the password and I didn’t know what the new one was) I was left sans dough to load up the betting accounts for a crack at the Grand Final yesterday, so figuring that the teams were so evenly matched that the game was too close to […]
