I’m writing part of this week’s rankings on a crowded train leaving Optus Stadium after witnessing a great game, so it’s been a good weekend in Western Australia for me.
As soon as Stuart Dew walked through the Gold Coast Suns’ door in October 2017, he started evaluating the football club as a whole.
Reigning State of Origin champs the NSW Blues have locked in the 17 players who will take to the field at Suncorp Stadium on June 5 as the 2019 series gets underway in Game 1.
Upsets. Upsets and injuries. Just when you think you have the NRL all figured out, it turns out you really, really don’t. Here are my talking points from Round 11 of the competition as we all get set for the Origin window.
South Sydney Rabbitohs half and New South Wales Blues origin front-runner Adam Reynolds has been cleared of a leg fracture and is likely to be fit for Game 1 in ten days, in what is finally a stroke of good news for the Blues.

Ferrari dominated in Monaco in 2017 then Red Bull, in the form of Daniel Ricciardo, dominated last year and now Mercedes have dominated the Monaco Grand Prix weekend so far as they have locked out the front row for tomorrow’s main event.

Although it is rumoured that Siem de Jong will not sign an extended deal with Sydney FC, he has most definitely left his mark on the A-League.
The first game of the final four to be previewed is the Dreamtime at the G clash between Richmond and Essendon.
Not sure we would have predicted Ben Long to do this to one of the biggest blokes on the field!
Sometimes as a winger all you have to do is catch the ball and put it over the line, and that’s all Sosaia Feki had to do here.
Dragons hooker Cameron McInnes has scored in acrobatic fashion to get his side back in the lead.
