Go play AFL Israel!

Israel Folau is reportedly on the verge of an NRL comeback

Standard meaningless statement probably written by his manager based on the commonly used proforma off the internet. Doesn’t say sorry and then demands privacy.

Mitchell Pearce's emotional resignation from Knights captaincy

Graham: One tough player, but will he remember it?

On another note, didn’t the field goal bounce over, in which case would it have been a point?

James Graham gets his storybook ending as St Helens claims the Super League title

Best to test it on SBW and his manager first. If it cures them it will cure everyone.

Rugby league desperate for vaccine against player agents

8.15 AEDT
The first ad during the game will be shown at 8.20 AEDT

Origin 1 kick-off bingo: What time will State of Origin Game 1, 2020 actually start?

This year has seen a lot of the commentary done remotely. I’m OK with that but it meant that there was a lot of Blocker on Fox games.

Who are we hiring - and firing - for the best rugby league TV coverage possible?

Too right Barry. I dread the GF and S of O with its rubbish 9 commentary and ads during play. Time for Ray Warren to retire and a broom put through the rest of them.

"I'm always honest", says Phil Gould who reckons his NRL grand final call wasn't biased

Should be a great game.

Hope the ref doesn’t fall for the acting of the storm players with feigned injuries, three times last week they tried, unsuccessfully, to get hip drop and crusher penalties. Always in their half and late in the tackle count.

My 2020 NRL grand final preview

I miss the super slo-mo replays of spectacular tries on my super big HD TV. With this new system we get one replay from one angle and it is up to the director to use the best replay which they often miss. Cutting out the bunker makes the game less of a TV viewer experience.
Also I’m fatigued with all the old players harping on about bringing fatigue ‘back’ into the game and therefore pushing for less stoppage time, as if its a holiday out there. Todays players are much bigger and fitter now than they were back then, so the game is different, I’d say it is better, so give them a rest occasionally as the bunker reviews tries. The “set restart” is doing the job on fatigue leave the bunker out of it.

NRL mull bunker changes for 2021

Cry me a river, it is not child slavery, its a game, you pick the teams you like and the teams you dislike simple as that.

NRL rule tweaks here to stay as Broncos pick up deserved spoon

Broncos being the wooden spooners is a great thing. No club has deserved it more nor fallen so far. Bring on a second team in brisbane and the broncos may not have that sense of entitlement, nor may they have all those third party agreements we don’t know about (wink wink). This year I don’t blame the coach/s but rather the TV schedulers for upsetting the broncos and expecting them to play at times other than friday night. Also the broncos suffered from the change of rules for alfie, he was no longer able to be out there coaching all the time, the broncos didn’t know what to do! Forget covid 2020 will be remembered with joy as the year the Broncos got the wooden spoon.

NRL rule tweaks here to stay as Broncos pick up deserved spoon

Today is a great day.
Perhaps what let the Broncos down was not playing every friday night, or all those third party agreements in a one team city, or an over inflated sense of entitlement, or the lack of Alfie on the field all the time coaching them. But I am happy.

Brisbane Broncos get the wooden spoon

Ref trusted part of his team who had eyes on it, he was let down. Touchy should not do another game this season.

Farcical scenes as refs opt not to check clear non-try with the bunker

Money can not buy this sort of media attention. Oh wait yes it can!

Roosters welcome Sonny Bill spotlight

Most of channel Nines decisions probably come out of Melbourne.

Nine lose simulcast rights for SBW return

Good try but if it was this easy we would all be rich! I look forward to your article in 5 weeks time. And don’t forget SBW!! (just joking, he will have no effect at all).

What to look for at the business end of the NRL season

Anyone seen the Morris brothers lately. Mega-milkers. And they are not alone!

Milking claims come from losers: Eels

Unbelievable how the right/conservatives/red necks are all too ready to be apologists for racists, but can never actually apologize themselves.

Naden calls out alleged racism

They are not fans they are nobs.

Group of idiots ejected for allegedly racially abusing Brent Naden

Left out:
Count money.
Phone manager.

SBW: "I was thinking of retirement before Roosters' call"

Can the media not report on SBW?
Can SBW fade into irrelevance as quickly as he changes teams or codes!
Can SBW’s manager retire now having made a killing?

Can SBW still be at his best despite his age?

Arrogant and entitled. Should have been fined.

Wayne Bennett confused by COVID rules after dining in Sydney

It’s becoming soccer. There were at least three other instances when bronco players tried to fake a head shot.

Braith Anasta's not-so-subtle dig at Darius Boyd after copping soft high shot

Damo: Sorry to break it to you but not everyone is a fan of SBW. It’s not personal against SBW but the article (and many more to come) is about him! I’ve never been a fan of cross-code money chasing (sorry “personal/athletic challenges/goals”) mercenaries.

Come on home, Sonny

SBW and his manager will get the media to play clubs against each other to maximize their dollars at the expense of a player or players lower on the ladder who may just be starting out on their dream of playing in the NRL. I’ll rather have the loyal players playing in the NRL and being rewarded than the mercenaries who jump from code to code and club to club cosy with their posse of yes boys sponging off their wealth.

Come on home, Sonny
