Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Good judges rate the 1985 Hagler v Hearns bout as the second greatest fight in boxing history, behind only the almost supernatural Ali v Frazier III, the Thrilla in Manila, and I agree with them. These two amazing middleweight’s went at each other toe to toe from moment that the bell rang, dazzling us with […]
Maria Folau is a really nice woman who used to coach my daughter’s netball team in Mangere, New Zealand (Maria’s niece played in the team), but I don’t share her beliefs about homosexuality or homosexual. I don’t think anyone’s sexual orientation matters unless they are a paedophile. And I believe that gay people are humans, […]
Everyone has their own opinion on the Manly rainbow jersey. PVL reckons that the Manly 7 have the right to refuse to wear it. I say that is bullshit. This is not about personal choice and respecting difference. It is about 7 bigoted, anti-gay football players refusing to wear the work uniform that they are […]
My heart breaks that seven players from my old club of Manly refuse to wear rainbow jerseys to celebrate inclusivity. This is a difficult conversation we have to have and I am here for it. Allow me to work my way towards conversing with those players. I am trying not to be angry. From my […]
Colin McDowell is a trot man who is a Tiger through and through. Now that he has delivered Benji by first class courier back to Balmain he’s decided to take a new approach to naming his yearlings. Next year’s crop are going to be named after the club greats they say. Sirro, Benny, Gee-Jack, Ellery, […]
It was very nice of all those Blues supporters to take a cruise up to Port Douglas disembark en masse at the markets and infect us all up here, before they turned around and went back to Brisbane to try and win an Origin series by knocking The Munster out. Nice try fellas. All you […]
The turning points in Origin 2 were Val Holmes totally unnecessary illegal block on Daniel Tupou, and Felise Kaufusi’s equally idiotic hold down play just seconds later. Kaufusi went to the bin, and NSW scored off the 2nd tackle in the penalty set. We will hear a lot today about how bad the refereeing was, […]
This is the try that Matt Burton threw to Brian To’o in the dying minutes of the first half, the one that put NSW in front 14-12. First watch the ball coming out of Burton’s hands. Was that backwards? It didn’t look it. Next watch the players feet, and look at the arc as your […]
So the Titans score a lovely 95 metre try and it's taken away because of a knock-on from Cronulla?! Just ridiculous. Can we please reduce the bunker's influence. I think we've all had enough. — Dean Ritchie (@BulldogRitchie) June 18, 2022 Dean ‘Bulldog’ Ritchie has been writing about Rugby League in the mainstream media for […]
