What’s the price of a premiership? For the Newcastle Knights, it’s the value of Trent Robinson’s signature.
Sweep up that smashed coffee mug from the kitchen floor. Apologise to your mum for destroying her fine china. Find a way to say sorry to your dad for butchering his flower garden out the back. Wade Graham is the best edge forward of all time – and there’s literally nothing you can do about […]
If you listen to Phil Gould, Latrell Mitchell is as good as done when it comes to State of Origin in 2019.
State of Origin is all about balance. Balance in your game plan, balance in your combinations and balance on the bench.
While the grand opening of this year’s State of Origin bonanza is still a few months off, for the incumbent NSW halves, it should feel a million years away.
Last year, the annual City versus Country bonanza finally had its life support turned off. For many rugby league traditionalists, it was a side time. For others, it was years overdue.
More often than not, trying to be all things to all people results in being nothing to no one. Talk of the highly anticipated Australia vs Tonga clash being played in New York is therefore concerning.
As we head towards one of the most eagerly anticipated State of Origin series’ in recent memory (OK, I guess we say that every year), let’s whet the appetite and have a look at the depth chart of each State.
Manly has always been the club to hate. Today, that rings true more than ever.
In late May last year, a thunderous volcano by the name of Andrew Fifita strolled into Brisbane and erupted in the middle of Suncorp Stadium.
Ahh Queensland. The Gods of Origin. The undisputed kings of loyalty and success. The masters of passion and pride.
Trent Barrett, take a bow. This is on you.
Rightly or wrongly, Matt Lodge the person has become the most controversial figure in rugby league. In fact, it’s difficult to remember an individual creating more of a storm before a ball was even kicked in an NRL season.
Sometimes it’s best to approach life with a willful ignorance.
Right now, Manly are a club in crisis. Apparently.
Right now, rugby league is in a place it has never been before. Indeed, the 2017 Rugby League World Cup has sent the game into uncharted waters.
Somewhere between a rock, a hard place and a line of razor wire sits a rugby league halfback with a cloud above his head.
As they say in all the great coming of age tales; sometimes life ain’t fair. When an international rugby league tournament is thrown into the mix though, life stops making sense all together.
Depending on who you ask, Jurgen Klopp is either a bona fide revolutionary or a flawed genius.
Great read.
Before they go looking to expand across the world, I’d like to see British Rugby League get it’s own back yard in order first.
As it stands, every super league team is situated in the North of England. Why not really have a lash at London and other parts of the UK before dabbling in places like Ontario and Perth?
I’d love to see the game marketed and grown in Ireland. Might be a pipe dream, but judging on the nations love for rugby union and their performanfe in last years RL World Cup, its more realistic than New York..
Is British rugby league preparing for a revolution?
Sims is injured, Scott is suspended. Point taken on Su’a and Lowe however. Missed the mark there!
Depth perception: who would win a 'State of Origin A'?
