Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s hard saying this a dyed in the wool Queenslander, but I don’t think the Maroons can win the opener in the State of Origin tonight. Poor selections, the Blue dominant record at Accor Stadium, and the form of some of our leading players are the big problem. Leaving Reece Walsh out is madness. Reece […]
Racing NSW CEO Peter V’Landys has announced that he will take 4 months long service leave from the role to allow him to concentrate all of his efforts on running the NRL after the departure of footy CEO Anthony Abdo. V’Landys deputy Graeme Hinton will act in the CEO role during his absence. PVL is […]
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 […]
