John Morris was one of those unsung-hero types throughout his NRL career.​
The deputy headmaster at my high school was the disciplinarian. If you mucked up, the ultimate threat was being sent to Brother Anthony’s office.
Vodafone’s ‘Gutsy is calling’ ad campaign descended pretty quickly, didn’t it?
Was anyone remotely surprised by any of the ‘revelations’ that came out in Fox Sports’ interviews with Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft?
Remember when you were at school, how the kids who were good at sport were treated exactly the same as everyone else?
Were I a Melbourne Storm supporter, I’d be fuming at the apparent ‘kid gloves’ approach being taken towards the Cronulla Sharks.
Since arriving in Newcastle at the end of the 2015 season, Nathan Brown has been a master of managing expectations.
Couldn’t you just vomit anytime someone who has ever played cricket tosses up the term ‘the Australian way’?
One of Australian rugby’s greatest servants quietly hung up the boots this week.
If rats desert a sinking ship, I guess the opposite situation would be to see some form of highly noble creature boarding said doomed vessel.
When the Rugby League International Federation awarded Englishman Tommy Makinson the Golden Boot this week, there was plenty of weeping and gnashing of teeth.
If you want evidence of the gulf between working in professional sports and the real world, the drama playing out at Manly would be exhibit A.
Picked up Wayne Bennett didya Souths fans? Um, yeah, good luck with that.
If you didn’t get caught up in the hype of the Australia vs Tonga match, then you need to have your pulse checked. Pretty good chance you’re actually dead.
Despite being over 80 years old, having a global reach and (officially) overseeing an industry worth billions of dollars, the RLIF has something of a start-up feel about it.
One of the best moments to occur in the wake of the NRL grand final was an exchange between an ex-AFL player and a rock star.
It was the best worst game, and the worst best game I’ve ever seen.
No fairytale this year, folks – not even the hope of one.
There was a decent chance of an ancient rugby league record finally falling this year.
The Sharks’ first 40 minutes on Friday night were, frankly, terrifying.
By that logic, Cam Smith and Billy Slater aren’t Melbourne through and through.
Salary cap? C'mon, we all know why we hate today's grand finalists
Thanks for the clicks and comments The Barry.
As I’m sure you’re aware, they’re all Buzz and I care about.
The Bulldogs' short memories – among other things – on show at Mad Monday
“… make the decision to move home after things have run their natural course…”
My ‘hypocrisy’ is kind of the point.
Homesick? Suck it up, be a man, and blame someone else instead
“The NRL has confirmed it is investigating the Cronulla Sharks over alleged illegal payments to players during the 2015 and 2017 seasons.”

Sorry Cronulla, but violating the salary cap in the past isn't just a "historical issue"
Yeah, win the Tour de France seven times.
That’ll get you kicked out of sport for good.
For John Hopoate, a ten-year ban just isn't enough
Right you are Nat, copy has been updated to reflect this.
What the hell do Benny and Baz know that the rest of us don't?
Right you are Jack. The piece has been edited to better reflect the current situation.
I apologise for my shoddy maths (I’m going to blame it on the fact I don’t have all my fingers, which makes it hard for me to count).
Kiss your semis goodbye
Actually, Wales, England and Scotland are all countries. Great Britain is the name of the island they share. Four countries (Eng, Wal, Scot and N Ire) then form the United Kingdom.

Just a short geography lesson. Otherwise, your point regarding Unions stands.
It's time for an international window across all rugby leagues
That’s the one Torchbearer – meant in track and field. Piece has been modified.
37 days to Rio: Betty Cuthbert wins three golds in Melbourne
Right you are – colour my face Maroon, that’s a shocker (which, obviously, I’ve fixed).
State of Origin Game 2: Why NSW will win
Chaves wins the stage and he thanks the OGE team back in the office.
He’s just the classiest bloke.

Champion call Brendon, cheers.
I’ll have to put a tenner on your prediction for tomorrow night too!
Give us a preview – who’s going to win the mountain TT?
Giro d'Italia 2016: Stage 14 live race updates, blog
Fantastic stage. Feel for Atapuma, he was so brave.
But Chaves, what a champion. A big TT tomorrow and… Nah, not going to jinx it!
Giro d'Italia 2016: Stage 14 live race updates, blog
Reckon they’ve got Atapuma. Seconds on the line could be crucial.
Giro d'Italia 2016: Stage 14 live race updates, blog
23 seconds… You’d love to see Atapuma get the win after all his work, but I don’t know if that’s going to be enough.

Little ramp at the end, could be very interesting at the line.

Mate, I’d hug the brakes the whole way down.
Giro d'Italia 2016: Stage 14 live race updates, blog
Can The Shark take 30 seconds on the descent?
Giro d'Italia 2016: Stage 14 live race updates, blog
Atapuma hooned up the final meters to the summit.
Giro d'Italia 2016: Stage 14 live race updates, blog
Stage win for Chaves? Two out of three chances it’ll be a Colombian.
Giro d'Italia 2016: Stage 14 live race updates, blog
‘Sharing’ the leadership.
Yeah, cos that always ends well.

Been there, done it.
The NRL needs a page-one rewrite on player behaviour
