Dane was named best and fairest in the 2004 Bathurst mixed indoor cricket competition. With nothing in the game left to achieve, he immediately retired at his peak to a reclusive life ensconced in the velvet of organised contests. Catch the man here: @eld2_0

Todd Payten is on pace to finish among the coaching greats, with the rookie clipboard holder’s short career already producing compounding irritation at the rate of dog years.
All these players complaining about being tired after one round of footy need a healthy dose of perspective.
Despite the mysterious disappearance of Cameron Smith in to full-time media tormenting, there is nothing to indicate Melbourne won’t shock us by doing the same thing they’ve done every year for the last two decades.
Australia faced more questions than answers in the lead-up to the first Test.
The Big Bash League continues to suffer fading interest levels, once again asserting the famous adage that T20 is to blame for everything.
The phenomenal rise of all-rounder Cameron Green is a typical cautionary tale. So let’s all take a calming breath, and offer him the captaincy.
The patient wait continues for a vaccine to counter the most subversive affliction known to mankind, with hopes high we’ll get one for coronavirus too.
New South Wales does not understand Origin again, with their insistent state of confusion returning after grasping the concept for almost seven entire days.
Don’t believe the hype about Queensland’s famed fighting spirit. There’s no mythical power or paranormal energy in the Maroons jersey – they just sometimes try really, really hard.
Wayne Bennett defied bookies odds and exit polling to produce a stunning Origin boilover on Wednesday night, in the process leaving New South Wales with no option but to stall the series with an unnecessary legal challenge or move Jack Wighton to five-eighth.
As we all know, Blues dynasties are historically celebrated with exaggerated claims of Origin’s death and nice lithographs.
A petition calling for a review of unfair media bias may be widened, with new parameters to include ownership laws, integrity and ‘Uppin’ the Riff’.
Something happened to the Roosters in the week leading up to their 60-8 hammering to Souths. It was something that cannot be explained, something beyond the rigorous systematic enterprises of science and Sonny Bill Williams’ rig.
Cameron Smith is the standout player of our generation.
COVID-19 has been kind to some despite all the devastation and cracked palms, with the pandemic delivering booming upturns for online shopping, streaming services, and lovable but perennially disappointing rugby league basket cases.
In a career spanning 17 years, Benji Marshall has produced so many resurrections and reincarnations that some believe he could be his own grandfather.
With the team languishing and an administration at war, perhaps Canterbury’s attempts to reinvigorate their gritty fighting culture may be better applied on-field.
Newcastle is on track for its first finals appearance since 2013, a long-awaited achievement following the Bennett and Brown years that comes approximately 350 years ahead of schedule.
In the 1998 film Out of Sight, Jennifer Lopez is taken hostage in the boot of a car before falling for her sexy captor, a greying criminal mastermind who resembles George Clooney but is probably Cameron Smith.
Thanks for all the feedback, legends! Bloody good for footy to be back. Bring on the unattainable ref standards and bickering
Consumer warning: New Melbourne probably the same as Old Melbourne
It’s well-worn, isn’t it? Should attract an immediate 10% penalty on the cap IMO

Bloody NZ, always one step ahead

Bloody excellent idea Zac, and for this reason, totally inappropriate for rugby league!

Wow Paul, I would love to answer that but regrettably I didn’t graduate from Yale with honours. Something tells me there would be some kinda fringe benefit tariff payable to the IRS or someone more powerful, ie Khoder Nasser

Big D, you raise a fair point. Players are buggers too. Unfortunately they are a necessary evil. We need the herd immunity

G’day Beath, a ripper suggestion mate, and one that has proven quite popular in outer climes. Maybe the double contract is too passé for the industry though; perhaps a triple contract, with the extra to go to Buzz?

Good morning JA, and once again, superb advice. Based on recent developments, I’m not sure who is more reputable betwen an NRL agent and an NRL doctor. Perhaps they would be better served googling

I like how a 4 game series will always deliver a clear winner too
The only way NSW can beat Wayne Bennett is in the Supreme Court
Thanks TLN, an honour to be mentioned alongside such a luminary of dribble

Gould’s comms are sometimes WC

We could do with another 5/8 too

Wow, thank you John. I guess I can only say, I draw great inspiration from evil global leaders
The only way NSW can beat Wayne Bennett is in the Supreme Court
Thanks John. Kicking myself for not consulting your deep legal advice prior. Reckon Todd Woodbridge could’ve been a clincher

Too right Barry, they are majorly suspect! Surely Qld’s points can be challenged under the relevant legislation, ie rule 1.4 subsection 25a of Michigan electoral guidelines

The best I’ve seen, KK. That’s why he deserves this kinda respectful farewell
Cameron Smith has earned right to retire on his terms, provided he retires before the grand final
Paul may combust, I truly believe that

I think this is a great idea Paul. Give him the entire arts budget

Beathy, I like your statue idea. It is a gesture that implies an immediate departure. You don’t play on in front of your copper bust, it’s unedifying. Cameron would know this

Will need to shave down but I’m def keen mate
The Dogs of War mentality wasn’t intended for the board room
Yep BD, spot on mate. It wouldn’t be rugby league or Sydney if it were a harmonious board full of selfless administrators
The Dogs of War mentality wasn’t intended for the board room
Too right again KK. This financial saga could take years to repair, possibly the covid economic crash of rugby league but worse
The Dogs of War mentality wasn’t intended for the board room
Agreed Paul. A few years back, I would’ve frolicked in the streets at their misfortune. But rugby league needs a strong Dogs (mainly for the TV deal)
The Dogs of War mentality wasn’t intended for the board room
Well said, TB. The Dogs, for want of a better term, were always bastards. Still have nightmares in September of stony-faced Folkes hatching plans behind Oakleys. Seems forever ago. What’s Cement up to?

Thanks for the feedback again everyone. Will be keeping an eye on Todd to see if Tim’s prophecies come to light too
