Sporting polygamist who supports two rugby league teams, the Bulldogs and the Storm. (The 2012 grand final was a nightmare.) Also a QPR tragic and a firm believer that Ian Chappell\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s mid-70s Aussie cricket team can never be topped.

Perhaps office and corporate jobs would benefit from wrestling. It would make for a break in the routine and sitting at the desk for too long.

Topine vs Bulldogs an important case for NRL and players - wrestling punishment shouldn't be tolerated in a 'workplace'

Hook must go.

Storm slaughter second-rate Souths as 'a myriad of errors' hammer the final nail into Demetriou's coaching coffin

Sorry but if you’re coming off a bad loss last week, then lose at home to a team with an 0-6 record, then you’re gone. Poor effort.

Des breaks his duck after epic final stand sees Titans pull off Anzac boilover to stun Warriors in Auckland

If it’s true the Bulldogs player is suing for $4 million, then that’s worth about 20 seasons of the wage he was probably on. Sounds like a good business decision.

NRL News: Warriors sign rookie Jett, Topine sues Dogs for $4m over 'psychiatric injury' from wrestling punishment

Tedesco has been a great player but he’s way past his best. It’s well past time to give the spot to either Dylan Edwards,Tommy Turbo, or Ryan Papenhuyzen.

Blues Origin predicted team: Maguire set to overhaul squad in search of winning combination

Fans of these one-man-teams are probably getting a bit sick of their season being over when that man goes down through injury. Maybe Ponga should sign for 300K for his next Newcastle deal, so the club can spend some of its salary cap on whatever back up fullback they can line up to replace him!

NRL Round 8 Team Lists Late Mail: Injury causes Dragons reshuffle, Cleary back, Broncos' mixed news, Eels blood new half

Robbo isn’t happy he’s losing Suaalii and Manu, that’s Teddy’s heading for pasture, Leniu and Young are suspended, and the spine is struggling… but that’s no excuse to take it out on the refs!

NRL Round 7 Talking Points: With big wins come big losses, and which coach is the game’s biggest sook?

Dolphins, Dragons for the finals? The Bulldogs will take eighth spot.

NRL Power Rankings: Round 7 - Dolphins, Dragons finals bound? Knights a non-event, Parra on the precipice

$750 fine – gosh that will really hurt a guy earning a million a year.

I don’t see a Souths-Parra grand final this year.

'We gave up': Under pressure Arthur rages at 'part-time footy team' Parra as undermanned Dolphins run riot

Never mind Roosters, you’re still ahead of the Storm on points for-and-against: 31 instead of 20. On for-and-against, the Storm is only running 8th.

'Both were really clear': Roosters in a rage over ref's contentious calls as Storm win on the back of two dubious tries

I thought Lindsay Collins’ hair did play at the ball.

Robbo is on another planet!

'Both were really clear': Roosters in a rage over ref's contentious calls as Storm win on the back of two dubious tries

That’s the sort of honesty the Roosters need.

'Both were really clear': Roosters in a rage over ref's contentious calls as Storm win on the back of two dubious tries

For Robbo’s next trick, I want to see him complain about how St George gets to play their ‘home game’ next week against the Roosters at Alliance, then come back in round 18 to the same venue for their away game 😂

'Both were really clear': Roosters in a rage over ref's contentious calls as Storm win on the back of two dubious tries

Robbo’s turning into Ricky Stuart with all the ref-whining. Now let me guess – did Robbo blow up about Tedesco not getting sent to the sin bin for the trip on Paps? I’ll have to check the press conference…

If Lomax identifies as a centre, who are we to call him a winger?

Next one – Nathan Cleary to super league 😱

Maybe they can pick up a bargain buy centre / fullback from Souths.

Joey Manu leaves a huge hole in the Roosters backline - and it comes at the worst possible time for Trent Robinson

I hope Blake Ferguson can give Joey a few tips on how to thrive in Japan.

CONFIRMED: NRL superstar joins ex-All Blacks coaching greats in Japan - could he do an SBW?

We should just do this post game conferences with AI now. Using an automatic set of stock answers.

Give coaches a choice: NRL post-match press conferences are mandatory, but only to say what the bosses want you to say

Dogs should be at least two places higher.

NRL Power Rankings: Round 6 - Dragons, Raiders prove doubters wrong, Souths players still putting in for Demetriou

I looked up the NRL website for the ‘Moral Victory’ points table, but couldn’t find it. Does anyone know where it is?

Bulldogs grab moral victory, but Melbourne take the two points as Storm overcome Foxx hat trick in comeback win

“Hutcho’s days are numbered surely. His defence and his effort plays are top shelf, but he’s so slow of thought and mind.”

Reminded me of an old Warren Ryan quote about late 70s five eighth Gary Hughes. ‘The fastest player in Sydney, between the ears.’ Slow runner, fast thinker. The opposite of Hutcho.

Bulldogs grab moral victory, but Melbourne take the two points as Storm overcome Foxx hat trick in comeback win

This seems harsh. He’s just about been man of the match in their two wins this year.

Don't believe the hype: Why did Bulldogs fork out big bucks for the most overrated player in the NRL?
