AJ watches far too much sport. When he's not watching it, he's reading about it. When he's not reading about it, he's writing about it and when he's not writing about it, he's talking about it on the podcast ‘A Sporting Discussion’. Rugby league has AJ's heart, but he loves to give space to the sports that the mainstream forgets - he’ll never rest until Australian baseball gets the coverage it deserves! He’s always game for a debate in the comments section or on twitter @AJMithen - but you’d best come prepared!

Nature abhors a vacuum and the 2020 COVID-19 sporting hiatus has seen column space filled with some most ‘interesting’ suggestions for codes across the globe.
I’ve been drafting this column in one way or another for a few months now, but the events of the last 24 hours have helped to crystallise things.
The spread of the COVID-19 virus is a declared pandemic, having massive worldwide impacts that go well past sport. It’s a virus that doesn’t care about borders, sports or balance sheets.
It’s game week! Thank God. These last five sporting months have dragged like you wouldn’t believe.
Welcome to the meaty centre of The Roar Experts’ NRL top 50 for 2020.
If you owned a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week rugby league television channel, what would you do with it?
Finally we have some real football. None of it counts towards the end result of the 2020 NRL season, but it was a welcome relief after a putrid summer of cricket to watch some decent 80-minute games.
Rugby league is back! I don’t know about you, but I quite enjoyed casting aside the negativity and noise about the Perth nines tournament and taking in two days of good clean rugby league fun.
I watched the Canberra versus Canterbury 1994 NSWRL grand final on a grainy old 13-inch television at my grandma’s holiday house in Barwon Heads, on Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula.
Whatever happens today, we’re going to see something we haven’t seen since the early 1990s.
Friday is a historic footy evening in our nation’s capital. It’s the biggest game of rugby league ever played in town, the most meaningful fixture at GIO Stadium.
Another weekend of finals football, another weekend of broadcasters whinging about refereeing.
South Sydney and Canberra head into the qualifying finals rank underdogs against the Roosters and Melbourne respectively.
South Sydney can secure a top-four spot with a win over the second placed Roosters in the last Thursday night game for season 2019.
We’ve had more kite-flying this week about the relocation or removal of Sydney clubs and the expansion of the NRL at the behest of Channel Nine.
The penultimate round of the NRL regular season kicks off with a Bulldog fairytale still burning bright.
Round 23 NRL gets underway with an intriguing Thursday night match up between old rivals Parramatta and Canterbury.
A few things have blown up this week in the wake of Tevita Pangai Junior’s five-match suspension which all but ended his season.
Manly have a chance to move into the top four and make 2019 exceedingly difficult for the Wests Tigers when they meet at Brookvale on Thursday night.
The genius of Freddie to play the 2020 Dally M Medallist out of position and to leave the most electrifying, game breaking player in rugby league out of the series altogether was duly rewarded…
State of Origin 3 player ratings: NSW Blues
Short inside ball to a galloping prop on an angle is my heaven, Nat
The Roar’s State of Origin expert tips and predictions: NSW Blues vs Queensland Maroons, Game 2, 2020
Plenty of good young fellas in the bank for the Raiders, but some big calls need making on some established names… But all that’s for after Grand final week!
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Grand final
Don’t worry, Origin is just around the corner
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Grand final
I just want to say thanks to everyone in ‘The Crowd’ for the fun this season. It’s been a hell of a thing but the good natured banter and knowledgeable chat each week has been a good time.
Also – thanks to Pryde for copping my tips at least 8 hours after deadline each week…
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Grand final
Like most Ricky Stuart haters I expect you made sure not to see all of his presser last week. And was Panthers Chairman Dave O’Neil being verballed when he said this?
“It’s disappointing from our club that Nathan, in the busiest week of his career, had to travel from Penrith to Artarmon and sit there at the Dally M knowing that he’s not going to win it.”
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Grand final
And thank you too KK. This season has been a lot of fun, even if most folks didn’t realise I tipped the Raiders to score 56 point every week!

this is an odd comment for a storm v panthers grand final article

I’m surprised only one of us took the Pennies to be honest!
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Grand final
You’re not far off Craig – after this week you can guarantee that only one of Cameron Smith or Nathan Cleary will win the CCM – no one else.
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Grand final
The Raiders are 3-1 in the last 4 games v Melbourne, and should have beaten them twice in 2020 if not for a sensational Papenhuysen try. Canberra is the last team Melbourne want to face!
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Semi-finals
For the record everyone – yes, we’re tipping the finals series but we all know it’s the regular season that is the glory. And in rugby league glory is taken, not given – so I’m laying out a tipping spread that will deliver at least a 3-point turnaround to run down you lot in ‘The Crowd’ and take my second Roar Experts Tips and Predictions title in three years.
If Mary catches me, so be it – she has been a picture of consistency for the last six weeks and it will be well earned. But it ain’t happening 😛
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Round 20
I have the full support of the board 🙂
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Round 20
Barring miracles it seems that’s the case KK. At least the deciding tips were close games that could have gone either way right to the death! Apart from that one where Manly got flogged. Stupid Manly.
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Round 19
KK If I’m not back on top this Sunday night it’ll be next Sunday night. I cannot be stopped as much as the NRL wants it to happen!
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Round 18
Don’t worry about me KK, after this week I will be claiming my rightful place!
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Round 17
I should never have doubted Wayne. None of us should have.
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Round 16
I love these. It’s what the Roar is all about!!
The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Round 16
Should have tipped them then you coward!
