“Back me or sack me” - Chris Anderson after his Cronulla Sharks lost to the Raiders in 2003. Anderson was sacked shortly after.

Oops I guess

Queensland's loyalty policy is a lie

Definitely need a tournament or championship of some sort. The only Test series Australia cares about is the Ashes, so we really do need a way to keep the less attractive series interesting and relevant.

If day-night Tests fail then long-form cricket is dead

He gets paid part of his contract now that he’s been waived, which is called “guaranteed money”. It’s much less than what the original contract was worth.

Hayne waived: The play that raised alarm bells

The referee said at the time that he stopped the play because Dugan was “out cold”.

Pritchard and Kasiano's foul play could be costly for the Dogs

I follow the Giants too and I’m trying to get into the sport more this year, but because I don’t have NFL gamepass or Foxtel, I’m probably going to end up knowing more about the 49ers.

Channel Seven may struggle to retain fans in Hayne Mania play

I’m a Giants fan, and I’m honestly jealous of Australians who were already Niners supporters before Hayne arrived. I’m almost more inclined to watch every 49ers game than Giants game, now that there’s that close tie between Australia and the NFL.

On and on the Hayne bandwagon goes, where it stops nobody knows

We could have had 11 batsmen at Trent Bridge and we still wouldn’t have made 100 runs in that first innings.

Rookies to swamp Aussie Test side after Clarke retires

I hear people say this all the time. I think we’re at the stage that if it was possible to ‘work out’ Smith, it would have been done by now. He’s been the best batsman in the world for some time now, whether or not it’s officially recognised by the ICC, so you’d have to think every bowling attack in the world has been studying up on how to dismiss him.

Smith steps up to fill Hughes' void

See, I think that is a perfectly valid idea and I’d love to see it come true. The only deterrent is probably the fact that there’s no big screen there, but there’s no doubt the fans couldn’t care less as long as they’re at Belmore.

A Canterbury fan dreaming: Back to Belmore every weekend

I’ve got no doubt that the state sides are far stronger than the Test side. It’s an inconvenient truth, unfortunately.

MASCORD: Origin should transcend the Brisbane-Sydney connection

Woah, why would justice be served if the Bulldogs are at the bottom of the ladder?

Storm, Broncos, Bulldogs and Roosters are this year's NRL top four

Yep there’s no doubt rugby league isn’t the only code to struggle on the Gold Coast. I simply felt that the poor crowd figure for a such a great game was nothing short of a travesty.

Very interesting points you raise there about various NFL franchises interested in returning to LA. Would be great to see what transpires this time.

Does rugby league belong on the Gold Coast?

No idea where this mail has come from, first I’ve heard of it. I cannot imagine Hasler letting Reynolds go, let alone Reynolds wanting to leave the Dogs.

Moses parts the Red V, seals Hodkinson's fate

Totally intentional too.

It feels like 2013 again

Five questions from State of Origin I

Yeah it’s pretty ridiculous how he can be in contention for a Queensland position, and then play for Samoa in the rep weekend.

What the rep weekend told us about State of Origin sides

I wasn’t around to witness the careers of Andrew Johns or Peter Sterling, but why are some saying that Sterling was better? I’ve been led to believe Johns was the cream of the crop.

Is Thurston the greatest ever Australian rugby league halfback?

What is your problem mate? Get off this anti-Dogs agenda of yours for crying out loud.

Struggling to see how you came to that conclusion, but alright.

Give the Bulldogs a break

The difference is it’s actually true in Barba’s case. Looks that way anyway.

Thanks Kevin Sinfield, you will be missed

Hahahaha, thanks NRL.

Give the Bulldogs a break

That is insanity at it’s finest. And wasn’t the last time the Dogs disgraced themselves over 10 years ago?

PRICHARD: NRL must throw the book at the Bulldogs

Unless you live under a rock, you would know the thoughts some people have towards Bulldogs fans. It’s constantly all over social media and is talked about in general in society – where I am at least.

I’ll admit it is a bit of a generalisation, but I’m not claiming that racism is an excuse for the behaviour that occurrred. I’m not excusing it at all.

Give the Bulldogs a break

I thought Morris’ boot missed Luke and it was actually Kasiano that made the contact, hence why he was charged instead.

Five questions from the NRL’s not-so-Good Friday

It’s good to see not everyone is claiming they “fear for their lives” and “refuse to take children” to Bulldogs games.

Give the Bulldogs a break
