Jake Averillo is one to watch and now one of my NRL favourites.

He has now scored 3 doubles v Dragons in his short career.

Size is overrated if you’re first to the breakdown and can pilfer like McReight.

Lest We Forget.

Remembering the elite Australian sportsmen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country

Union has a different skill level. I know a top level league coach who is stunned by the lack of skill in his sport.
You see it when a player other than the regular hooker goes to dummy half and tries to pass. Especially left to right. It’s embarrassing but something league does not put skilling into.
If you are a union skills coach, you can make big impact to a League team.
RTS might have played Union before League but like a lot of the Polynesian boys who dominate when they’re kids, many cannot compete as an adult because they forgot to get skilled up in the basics and so rely on pace and size. Everyone else catches up and goes past them.

League fires back: RTS abandons All Black dream as resurgent Warriors announce star's return to NRL

Just enjoyed the 500m walk from the Paddo Tavern past Suncorp Stadium up Caxton Street to my car after attending a dinner.

So many disappointed Broncos fans. When will the Courier Mail learn to stop going off so early in the season? They only flogged the Tigers last week.

I backed the Raiders! Cannot wait to watch the game.

Souths were so disappointing so I was pleased to see the honest assessment from the coach and captain.

Latrell? Not giving the rabbits value at fullback. I’d put him left centre and buy a decent fullback who is prepared to run the ball back hard. Mitchell is passive for a big guy and he’s got a gut. Cannot believe he’s in shape for NRL.

ANALYSIS: Melbourne never beat themselves and Souths never beat them at all - but where was Latrell for an hour?

That’s funny. Had me until I read the names.

I would have Wilson and McReight in my Wallabies just for their spirit and effort. Work rate is high for both.

Hopefully they can keep fit and working hard!

'Ready to put his hand up': 'Lion' Wilson stars in big Reds win over Force as Tupou-less pack stands up

Oh dear what good can come from a decision to go to a nightclub full of turps? Mitchell needs to grow up and be the man he tells everyone he wants to be. Wighton is just a dumb footballer on repeat. Souths and Canberra now no hope to win in 2023.

'Not a good look for the game': Latrell and Wighton break silence on 'bit of fun that got out of hand'

What a bitter read.

Eddie would be a great Wallabies coach again.

OPINION: The worst decision RA could make for the Wallabies in 2023 would be to hire Eddie Jones as coach

No rugby Union this weekend.

So a sip for every SBW “bro”…

…and a sip for every atmosphere, noise, sound, crowd, throng, support, army or masses reference.

A sip for every Andrew Johns “what a player” reference.

A sip for Phil Gould if he refers to half time speeches (which no longer happen with all the assistants in the room).

A sip for any reference to any previous grand final no matter how remote the context.

A sip for every Dally M reference.

A sip for any negative bunker comments.

A sip for Jonathan Thurston if he strings 2 coherent sentences together.

The grand final drinking game is only way to get through Channel Nine's coverage

I would let Hunt go. He is not worth the $

I can live with Eels winning like they did 40 years ago in 82. I sat in the MA Noble stand in awe of their team.

Like any player, fitness is key.

When fit, the best are at their best. Kobe Bryant worked harder than anyone and therefore it just wasn’t a contest.

56 years of Rabbitohs support tells me that unless the talent is fit, it won’t make history and win 22 next year.

Got to have the desire, the fire, and do more than the opposition. You against you.

Latrell Mitchell – pioneer, entertainer, or just an ordinary fullback?

Poor taste. Classless. Anyone who thinks this is okay needs their head read.

Caitlin Moran shouldn’t be punished for having an opinion but NRL bans Jillaroos star for Queen post

‘Roosters’ footy = grubby tactics

Souths by 20 next week. More skill than the chooks boring grubby roosters footy.

Gold class. Where the crawdads sing.

Must see movie!

Reynolds says Broncos have to use 'sh--ty feeling' as motivation as Melbourne run up 60 to derail finals hopes

Was invited to the game but fortunately forecast it would be a cakewalk for the Storm so went to the movies instead.

My next forecast?

Payne Haas to the Roosters.

Reynolds says Broncos have to use 'sh--ty feeling' as motivation as Melbourne run up 60 to derail finals hopes

But he wasn’t playing fullback

ANALYSIS: Rennie must take leap of faith in Campbell and Beale to solve Wallabies' worrying fullback puzzle

Paul Kent Chief League Writer for NSW…er the Daily Telegraph and cohost of Fox League NRL360. What a judge!

How did he think the Blues were going to win by 20? How? After all these decades?

I cannot wait for the salty excuses. Fittler and A Johns have already started well.
