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

Queensland once laid genuine claims to being the new home of rugby league, with years of domination almost stealing the game away from its spiritual home – inside Rupert Murdoch’s wallet.
Despite a month of spluttering form, John Morris has retained faith in Shaun Johnson in the hope of boosting the prize recruit’s confidence and cost-to-benefit ratio.
Such is the furore engulfing the once-indomitable Brisbane Broncos, former greats are being slave-driven to deliver a rate of Courier Mail rent-a-blasts not seen since Petero Civoniceva was replaced with Joel Clinton.
An illuminating round of international rugby league awaits us thanks solely to NRL Clubland, which again charitably yielded to its contractual obligations by allowing the global scene to have a place in the game.
Mitchell Pearce has emerged as a legitimate saviour for Brad Fittler, with Perth’s must-win Origin tailor-made for the Knight’s extensive experience as a big game patsy.
The Blues must let me unlock the power of their brains by training the subconscious and releasing their minds, thus rendering them truly mindless.
Saturday’s frustrating defeat to the struggling Cowboys has re-estabilised the Raiders’ premiership campaign, with the side back on course to approach September needing results to go their way.
Barring a successful petition for a remake that digitally removes the mugs, the rest of Penrith’s season is guaranteed to suck so badly it will indelibly taint the club in popular culture for eternity.
The ICC Cricket World Cup: a tournament synonymous with breathtaking displays of skill, determination and most notably, inexplicable miscalculations akin to Schapelle Corby picking up a boogie board bag.
Melbourne Storm’s predicted fade-out is now eight years overdue, raising obvious questions as to whether the club is the climate change of rugby league.
Phil Gould’s strategy to remedy the Panthers has been unique, with his five-year plan now in to its eighth year of hiring as many personal enemies as possible.
The NRL’s meek canvassing of relocation is now a yearly pastime for the game, much like the latest Bears bid, Titans overhaul or unpaid TPA.
Kalyn Ponga is set to eclipse his debut season, with the young Knight to single-handedly deliver Newcastle premierships and air-conditioned classrooms by year’s end.
The Storm have always exhibited remorse when it comes to their eye-watering cap rorts of 2010. In fact, they routinely mention it every year at their anniversary celebrations for the ’07 and ’09 titles.
We must be realistic about expectations for the Ashes and World Cup following Australia’s stunning resurgence in India. That’s why I’m listing our chances for the double at $1.01.
This NRL summer has strengthened the game’s role as a vessel for scandal. But now with the season proper on our doorstep, the competition can finally return to its primary purpose; a vessel for scandal and Origin selection.
Should Australia abandon the Dukes ball experiment for something more appropriate, like training our batsmen to hit a beach ball in a stocking?
Australia and India will reconvene for the first of five critical ODI matches this Saturday, bringing to an end their interminable separation, which now stands at just over a month.
A new breed of statistics providers have illuminated modern cricket, expanding minds like LSD and shattering norms like an arm bent past the 15 degrees.
Are you celebrating the end of Australia’s gravely uninspiring home summer?
Is there a reggies for executives?

KK, only you could script an enlightening observation about league using references to Mavis Bramston and ice cream

Papi, I need to know these bewdies BEFORE I go to print!

Thanks BennO! Yeah the father-son thing is about three years past its shelf life, but the parent-teacher angle got the better of me. And Souths-Logan? That’s premium content baby!

Sure did, Mungbean! Thanks for the pickup mate, sending myself to reggies as we speak

He can be blamed for anything provided it fits under the salary cap
Pearce provides Fittler with much-needed experience, much-needed scapegoat
kk, poetic and profound as usual. Agree on Jimmy, and am already planning a dinner party just so I can casually use ‘Novocastrian Turton Road putsch’
Pearce provides Fittler with much-needed experience, much-needed scapegoat
That’s the rational view, BA. But this state ain’t rational
Pearce provides Fittler with much-needed experience, much-needed scapegoat
It was a desolate time, Soapit. We needed Greg Bird at 5/8th, for heavens sake
Pearce provides Fittler with much-needed experience, much-needed scapegoat
True Harvey. Hard to believe on these numbers that Pearce is 300% better than Cliffy
Pearce provides Fittler with much-needed experience, much-needed scapegoat
Thanks DP and Paul. And definitely agree. Pearce can be blamed at any time, including prior to selection, or even birth

I absolutely love this, Paul, and have now cancelled my afternoon to deeply cogitate the matter
Relocation now a fruitless annual debate alongside mooted Bears comebacks and Titans rebrands
This new mega-footprint would also allow the NRL to shift Newcastle, probably to PNG

Now we’re getting somewhere!

I like all of this, Robert, except moving the Chooks to Adelaide. I’ve heard the city’s soy goat’s milk honey frappe is sub-par

Meet you there with the cherry-picker and the long lens, Baz

KK, I have bookmarked cargo cult programming, and thrown my hands aloft in ‘amen’ style in endorsement of your final line
Relocation now a fruitless annual debate alongside mooted Bears comebacks and Titans rebrands
Indeed, Max. I too like my relocations cold and spreadsheet-based

Good morning KK and top of the season to you. Once again, you speak sense. Leave the man at fullback, and get him to Easts. We need another utility and preferably an Aries
Kalyn Ponga's 2019 set to exceed exaltations
Cheers matth. Sean Rudder was always wonderful at carrying a team, seems he’s done it again here
Kalyn Ponga's 2019 set to exceed exaltations
Cheers Griggso. Season 2030 is not looking good. Scurvy could be the new ACL
Round 1 is here, now we can finally talk about the football
I was already fired up for the footy, but hearing Big Daddy talk religion has surged me to new levels

I swear I’m immune, Shane. Tom Cruise told me so
