I agree … the quarter final game between the Kiwis and the Kangaroos at the World Cup should have been the Grand Final after the organisers and paid media wrote the Kiwis off! The Kangaroos were lucky to win … what a game!
Kiwis squad: Johnson, Hughes and Manu hold the key as New Zealand look to exploit Warriors fever
I play rugby league and both of my sons play … needless to say we have some skin in the game … not a single person in our cohort of hundreds of die-hard NRL fans and stakeholders watches or supports NRLW but we love the netball!
Women's Origin needs long-term vision around timing on calendar, three-game series - and a CBA deal would be nice
I work in the racing industry and can assure you Thoroughbreds are equally as sensitive to pain as humans but unlike humans’ racehorses are required to perform under duress because they have no choice … nailing aluminium plates into fragile hoof tissue and placing instruments of torture in a horse’s delicate mouth are significantly more painful than whipping
The problem I have with the whip is the perception by the general public that it is unnecessary and cruel … if we are to survive, we need to be mindful of how we are perceived by our stakeholders and more importantly, the next generation of race-goers, influencers and policy makers
'Unnecessary, unjustifiable, unreasonable': Racing's whip rule makes no sense at all
With due respect, no one watches the women’s franchise …

LGQTB would NEVER be forced to wear a jersey celebrating Christian or Muslim pride. So why are Christians forced to wear an LGQTB jersey celebrating gay pride? We identify as not interested …
Why NRL should NOT have a Pride Round until it means more than a chance to sell rainbow merchandise
BLM is a Marxist-inspired organisation committed to fomenting civil unrest and cultural enmity as evidenced by the looting and gratuitous violence in Minneapolis where whites and blacks were targeted and murdered. If you believe BLM is an authentic movement devoted to racial harmony and justice you also believe the Warriors are capable of wining the Premiership and David Rennie will lead the Wallabies to World Cup victory …
Folau courts more controversy
Wouldn’t have made a difference to the final score anyway. Fox et al were simply outclassed on the day. Too focussed on politicising instead of winning …
Did the Indigenous All Stars deserve a penalty try for this take-down of the Fox?
Sorry to disappoint but Israel Folau scored in the first five minutes of his debut and was instrumental in the Dragon’s win against Castleford. Coach Steve Mcnamara summed it up: “You only see the headline, you don’t know the person. Once you understand him more you realise it’s not a life sentence what he did.” It’s time to forgive and forget …
Roosters should derail plans to face Folau
More hypocrisy, fake outrage and virtue-signalling from a code and club that condones gratuitous violence, drugs and salary cap breaches. In the words of legendary All Black captain, Richie McCaw: ” Get over it and move on … ”
Rival club has the perfect response to Israel Folau signing with Super League side
None of my gay friends are offended by Israel’s comments. So why are you? 😂
Nine talking points from Wallabies vs All Blacks
The difference between the Wallabies and the Silver Ferns is the netballers rallied around Maria Folau, resulting in a historic World Cup victory. Please explain how expressing your personal views on your personal social media platform is treating his team mates with disdain? No-one forced his team mates to view his personal views
Nine talking points from Wallabies vs All Blacks
I vowed I’d never watch another Wallabies game after the way Folau was treated by members of the national squad, including the captain and only watched to glory in the humiliating defeat. In NZ, we never underestimate the Aussies, whether it’s ruby league, netball, cricket, yachting or until recently, rugby. Well done for a superlative performance against a side that looked fatigued, deflated and overwhelmed. Australia played with the heart and passion we normally expect from the world’s most consistent team. You deserve the accolades. Kia kaha!
Nine talking points from Wallabies vs All Blacks
Gillian Triggs, former President of the Australian Human Rights Commission and Dean of the Sydney Law School knows a thing or two about jurisprudence, and she is of the opinion Folau was unfairly dismissed. Love or hate him, the outcome will affect players across all sporting codes, many of whom share his personal views
Brumbies win the best medicine to counter Folau Fatigue
Not according to my tribe ( Ngati Porou ) or any of the tribes of my Fijian, Nuiean, Tongan, Samoan or Cook Island whanau!
Tupou on Folau: No thanks for the stereotype
Token virtue-signalling lapdogs. We were on the verge of purchasing a Land Rover to tow our horse float but opted for a Lexus instead because we don’t need Land Rover, Asics or Qantas telling us how to think or vote
Australia decides: Who would vote for Izzy?
Firstly, Perenara isn’t a Pacific Islander. He’s Maori and I’m not sure if he’s even Christian. Secondly, no-one is forcing LGQTBIXYZ, virtue-signallers or cultural arsonists to read his personal memes on his personal Instagram or Twitter profiles so why the fake outrage? Many Australian Christians share Folau’s views; as do many Australian Muslims
Tupou on Folau: No thanks for the stereotype
We never saw th ebest of Winx because she never raced Werther, the only horse Hugh Bowman surmised was capable of beating her. And he should know; he rode them both! Best racehorse in Australia without a doubt. Best racehorse in the world? I guess we’ll never know …
We never saw the best of Winx
Finally a leader who is courageous enough to stand up for his personal convictions in the face of overwhelming persecution and vilification by the bullies and bigots at Rugby Australia and Qantas!
Israel Folau saga erupts again as Taniela Tupou weighs in
You’ve both missed the point! Christians do not base their beliefs on proof or faith but deeply meaningful and personal experiences that transcend scientific explanation. Respect …
Israel, please shut up about God – oh, and happy Easter!
Spare a thought for racing industry employees who work 7 days a week starting at 4am including public holidays. Have we become so secular and carnal that nothing is sacrosanct anymore?
Time to bring in Good Friday racing, plus five Saturday tips
Rugby Australia and Qantas can start by embracing authentic diversity. If Folau was Muslim the expression of his personal beliefs would have been upheld as evidence of the rich tapestry of multiculturalism
Can rugby really embrace diversity?
This isn’t leadership. This is capitulation to corporate pressure from Alan Joyce who expresses his personal views in the public domain with impunity. The ARU and Qantas demand inclusion and tolerance unless you’re Christian!
By sacking Israel Folau, Rugby Australia showed what true leadership looks like
Unfortunately, 1600m is now considered a staying race in Australia … I’ve completely lost interest in the Spring Carnival as the result of total dominance by European horses and billionaire aristocrat dynasties … even the NZ breeding industry has a proclivity for breeding sprinter-milers now as opposed to Colonial stayers … the end of a halcyonic era
