Manly looked good again last night, but there is a big difference between pre-season games and Premiership rounds. Not getting too excited yet.

'Embarrassing' Roosters display, Hat-trick for Garrick, tough night for Suaalii, Tigers let another star go

Maniac.

FLEM'S VERDICT: Head must come back but Aussies need to change game plan or they’ll get another thrashing

I’m glad you like your Rugby League, Tim, but maybe leave history to the experts.

Why you should cheer for St Helens in the NRL’s Pre-Season Challenge

Clive Palmer, ladies and gentlemen.

Best hooker of NRL era - Smith the king but tough to separate Buderus, Luke, Cook, Farah, Koroisau, Hodgson

Brandon Smith in the top ten? The bloke who had to leave his old club so he could get a full time gig at hooker?

It’s alright, Phil. We’re used to it!

25 in 25: Best centre of NRL era - Inglis, Gasnier, Hodges, Cooper, Manu, Morris, Lyon?

Harper had an absolute blinder for Cronulla last season. What was it, 3 try assists?

Except for those two seasons he played for St Helens before signing with Manly. Not quite ‘straight away.’

Yep, that’s the team the author should have picked.

Best of the rest: The Aussie XI that should have played more Test cricket

I agree, JGK. We just lost two pacemen in the one game to finger injuries. Seems foolhardy not to have a back up spinner- especially for India.

Smokeys, bolters and sure things: Who makes Australia's Ashes squad?

“Cunrrently.”

'Bali, here we come': Warner sets social media abuzz by saying he's jetting off as pressure builds on opener

It turns out that Sehwag was a better batsman than he is a pundit. Who is complaining about Indian pitches?

Cricket News: Cummins hits back at Elgar's pitch ploy, Sehwag slams Aussie hypocrisy, Finch finds form, BBL duo out

For me, it’s not the pitch to blame for a two day test match, it’s most of the batsmen that no longer have the technique or temperament for test cricket.

Talking Points: Greats question spicy pitch after Proteas' latest collapse, Starc joins legends with unplayable 300th wicket

Gee, it really is the off season isn’t it?

NRL should follow NBA’s path in renaming player awards after all-time greats

I’m not one of Warner’s biggest fans, but it’s a bit disappointing to read so many personally disparaging remarks about the bloke.
On the bright side, Travis Head. He used to look fidgety and uncertain at the crease, but has really matured. Looks steady and poised now and the runs are coming freely for him. Great to see the faith the selectors put in him being repaid.

REPORT: Warner stunned, Starc stranded on 299 as South Africa fight back on day one

More of a makeshift 5/8 I reckon. Brilliant centre though.

25 in 25: Best five-eighths of NRL era - Daley, Lockyer, Fittler, Thurston, Benji, Munster, Foran, Keary, Wighton?

Mine too, Tom. In my best Manly team, I’d squeeze Foz and Cliffy into my best 17. Can’t split them. Just sorry we never locked up Foran at Manly for his whole career.

I think rugby would be happy to receive attention over a scandal.

Ensuring your off-season footy code war article offends as many fans as possible

I remember it being Roger Harper bowling to Bevan, and that was one of the best games I’ve seen live – of any format.

Why T20 trumps 50-over cricket

Best article of the year. Thanks Danielle.

What a dive: why this league fan just cannot commit full-time to soccer

Not as good as rugby league, though, don’t you think Rowdy?

Heady days: Openers star as Aussies begin post-Finch era with resounding win over England

I wonder what Rowdy has to say about this given his recent tirades about rugby league. Oh that’s right, AFL can’t play internationals.

We hate you too, Robbo. Sounds like Penrith does now as well.

Polarising Panther: Luai has more than fair share of critics but Samoan star adds colour to often drab league landscape

Vintage Jenny.

Samoa vs Tonga showed what the future of rugby league could be - if the NRL would actually believe in it

Well matth, I’ll have to respectfully disagree. My father was an immigrant, but would only ever have wanted me to rep NSW and Australia, not the country that he left behind to seek a better life. All about personal experience I suppose.
