A vasectomy. Israel Folau’s Instagram feed. Ricky Stuart after a Canberra loss. Adam Sandler’s entire filmography back to back.
The Warriors hype machine was at full noise leading up to Simon Mannering’s 300th match, and rightly so for a player who has given so much to club, country and game.
Finals football is almost upon us, and for many NRL clubs the fairytale is over before it could really begin. But before September kicks in, here are a few things I’d love to see.
Some turn a blind eye, some condemn it; others say it’s the nature of competition. Why can’t Australians stop cheating?
Reports are filtering in of a spectacular crash in Penrose, Auckland, where a huge bandwagon has slammed into the harsh brick wall of reality.
Do you like balls to get plenty of air, or do you prefer them to be held tightly to avoid popping out in heavy contact?
Office tipping rivalry aside, this year’s NRL competition has been fantastic – even more so if you’re a Dragons or Warriors fan, like me. Not so much for the lone Melbourne fan at work, who has gone quiet. Very quiet.
Among the maelstrom of indignation, there’s at least one group of people who must be feeling a quiet debt of gratitude towards the Australian cricketers: The English.
I promised myself I wouldn’t take them back; they’ll only hurt you again.
What is going through David Warner’s head? Not much it seems.
Sporting rivalries are a funny thing. Everyone has that mate or that team they just can’t stand to lose to. At anything. Ever.
There’s something unusual happening in New Zealand cricket: we’re winning.
There were ominous signs. It was steadily raining and we were trudging to the Lions versus Blues match at Eden Park, a stadium often referred to as a concrete jungle.
I tried selling my Warriors jersey on-line, without luck. So I re-listed it with the ‘caution, flammable material’ label on the outside. It sold within minutes.
For a long time Auckland sports teams and residents have received a bad rap among New Zealand’s provinces, particularly those from the South.
Winston Churchill once said: “Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
Match-fixing allegations, salary cap rorts, players carrying pills, players associating with known criminals, coaches angry with the bunker, players angry with the bunker and the bunker, well, they are bunkering down.
Plenty in the northern hemisphere it seems.

Wow – couldn’t hook it. Huge.

I can’t tell if there’s a strong wind in that (indoor) stadium or Farrell’s having a mild stroke while taking the kick.

Don’t you hate it when they do that? But I agree – should be accumulating; will also reduce temptation to infringe.

Great counter ruck under pressure. Huge play. Well done BIL.

Much more wobbly than wonderful. Lets hope they avoid woeful and get wedemption.

Angus Gardner called the Lions that time – have to say I quite like the way he controls his matches.
He seems to have a good feel for the game too.

Always a risky option, regardless of how easy Beauden Barrett makes it look.

Great run from the Po Po – no wonder he had a lie down after carrying that rig down field.

You’ve never asked for permission before.

Not sure if the defender would have reached Naholo; not many do – and stopping him if you do get to him is another story too – as Lawes just discovered. But the possible obstruction didn’t look too flash.
I’m sure there will be plenty said about it.

Jonathan Joseph looks exciting, dancing all over the place.

Absolutely; they had a good chance if he’d not tried to play the man.

A certain irony that the first chance their winger gets to score is because he charged into a ruck and dived over.
