With an easing of COVID restrictions this year, Queensland rugby league fans will once again have the chance to watch Queensland’s premier rugby league competition, the Intrust Super Cup. Here’s why you should go along to a game this season.
In the aftermath of Australia’s embarrassing fourth-innings performance at the SCG, many have looked for a scapegoat to blame.
In Part 1 of this series I examined the search for Australia’s next great true all-rounder.
Cameron Green’s emergence on the national stage has left many Australian cricket fans very excited about the future and what he can achieve as a pace-bowling batsman.
The Burleigh Bears and the Wynnum Manly Seagulls will do battle for Queensland rugby league’s biggest prize. Join The Roar for live coverage from 3:15pm (AEST).
The Sydney Swans aim to avenge last year’s shock defeat, as the take on a struggling Gold Coast Suns outfit at the SCG. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 4:35pm (AEST).
A strong Samoa side look to end a three-year winless run against Papua New Guinea in an intriguing clash at Leichardt Oval. Join The Roar for live coverage of the event from 7:55pm AEST.
Match result: A remarkable innings of 76 not out from English opener Joe Denly has seen the Sydney Sixers comfortably chase down the Adelaide Strikers at Adelaide Oval.
It’s been six months since that infamous day in Cape Town – a day on which one of Australia’s own, Cameron Bancroft, was caught live on television in a blatant act of cricketing skulduggery.
Following remarkable upset wins in north Queensland last week, both the Easts Tigers and the Ipswich Jets will be glad to return to Brisbane as they fight for a spot in next week’s preliminary final. Join The Roar for live coverage from 1pm (AEST)
After three weeks of racing, the Tour de France has finally made it to Paris, where the victors will be crowned. As the race heads to its conclusion at the iconic Champs-Elysees, join The Roar for live coverage of Stage 21 from 11:30pm (AEST) onwards.
So, after 18 stages and almost 3000km of racing, today is the last chance for the climbers to make their mark. As the Tour de France bids a final, dramatic farewell to the Pyrenees, join The Roar for live coverage of Stage 19 from 9pm (AEST) onwards.
The Tour de France says goodbye to Brittany with a stage that sees the first summit finish of this year’s race. As the favourites get their first chance to make their mark, join The Roar for live coverage of Stage 6 from 10pm (AEST).
Stage 4 of the 2018 Tour de France sees the race wind its way north into Brittany and barring accidents or weather, it should be one for the sprinters. Join The Roar for live coverage from 9:30pm (AEST).
I do not! As corrected below, Stimson is currently contracted with Bulldogs

In other big news, former New Zealand fullback Kevin Locke has just signed for the Magpies!
Bretherton and the team behind the scenes at Davies must have good connections.

Thanks my fact-checking came from the 2017 Grand Final team, and their Wikipedia articles, which may not have been updated recently.
Will be careful next time!

Good fact checking Dogs of War, my error!
Purely from memory, Stimson played in the famous 2017 Grand Final against the PNG Hunters, so probably had that in the back of my mind.

Good pickup Rob! The Hunters will be sacrificing a lot for our entertainment this season here in Queensland.

Based on past form, I doubt it, but we can always dream!
They had the courage to drop Starc for Siddle in the Ashes, which gives us some hope…
Sorry Mitch, it’s Neser’s time to shine
Neser at No.7 is an interesting one I have heard.
He probably couldn’t do worse than Wade or Head atm.

Hi Scott,
I hope the concept of this article was entirely original, and not in any way taken from an article about Neser that I submitted last night. 😊
Love your work,
Max 🏏
Mitchell Starc should be dropped for Brisbane
Why do you think this is?

If this article had included spin-bowling allrounders, these guys would have made the cut:
Michael Bevan
Michael Clarke
Simon Katich
Andrew Symonds

Hi Elvis,
As mentioned in the fine-print, this article series concerns only pace-bowling all-rounders

Really regret publishing this during the Boxing Day Test. 😢
No engagement!

Speaking of the next Keith Miller, Cameron Green just got out for 45 today.
How do we rate him so far, Roarers?

Hi Roseville,
Moody is a good pickup. No much chop with the ball in Test cricket (why he didn’t make the cut for this article) 🏏
Decent opening bat for a while though, and probably unlucky to be dropped after that 1992 Sri Lanka series.

Hi Paul,
Great pickup! Walters was one of those guys that was never considered an “allrounder” per se, but can’t argue with those figures.
Over 100 wickets at first class level for NSW shows he was no statistical fluke either.

Spinning allrounders aren’t included in this article, but if they were:
Richie Benaud
Tom Veivers
Bob Simpson

Yes, my grandfather (now 94) used to say that Archer was one of his favourite cricketers for Queensland in that era.

Hi Sports Lover,
Stay tuned for Part 2!

Starc is definitely the best current contender for the Johnson-type role down the order.
Doesn’t quite have the technique of some of his fellow tailenders (Cummins and Harris come to mind), but can go big if it’s his day. 🏏

Hi Barry,
Gilmour was certainly portly, but not as much as former Australian captain and all-rounder Wawrick “The Big Ship” Armstrong, who weighed a whopping 133kg!

Hi Roseville,
Definitely aware of Archer as a Queenslander.
Unfortunately, his career fell completely within the same time span as Miller’s, so missed out on selection on that basis. 🏏

Very sad! Yet another reason why Queensland is the superior sporting state. 😛
