Sport and big business are not identical, but the sooner clubs understand that the NRL is a multi-million dollar industry and they need to run their businesses accordingly, the better our sport will be.
Tonight the Australian Women’s cricket team re-commence their fight to retain the Ashes when the first (and only) Test begins in Taunton.
On Sunday, Garth Brennan was sacked as Gold Coast coach after the Titans’ insipid 24-2 loss to Penrith on Friday.
The Australian Women’s Cricket team have now taken a 4-0 lead in the Ashes with a comprehensive four-wicket win over England in the second ODI, following their two-wicket win in the first ODI on Tuesday.
What on earth does a rugby league player need to do these days to get sent off?
The Australian women’s cricket team have touched down in the United Kingdom ahead of their 2019 Ashes defence, which begins on 2 July.
New South Wales may have won State of Origin Game 2 by a whopping 38 points to 6, but leading into Game 3 coach Brad Fittler cannot afford to rest on his laurels.
On Friday night, the New South Wales Blues beat the Queensland Maroons 14-4 in the second ever women’s State of Origin clash in front of 10,515 people at North Sydney Oval.
With the Matildas’ 4-1 win over Jamaica in their final group game at the FIFA Women’s World Cup earlier this week, the team has progressed to the next stage of the tournament and will now compete in the knock-out phase.
Was Brad Fittler watching the same State of Origin Game 1 that I was?
The New South Wales Blues may have gone into State of Origin Game 1 as favourites, but when the siren went, the scoreline was 18-14 in favour of the Queensland Maroons.
As a Sydney-sider who loves sport, I’m someone who has many favourite sporting teams across a variety of codes. When you ask me who I support, you’ll often get quite a long answer and any possible combination of the Parramatta Eels, GWS Giants, Giants Netball, Sydney Thunder and also the Sydney Blue Sox.
We’re now just two sleeps away from Game One of the 2019 State of Origin series.
When you experience something good, your natural reaction to that experience is to want more of it.
Last night the New South Wales Blues announced their squad for Game 1 of the 2019 State of Origin series.
With fewer than 30 days to go until the 2019 women’s State of Origin at North Sydney Oval, this week the NRL took the opportunity to launch the game.
The 2019 Parramatta Eels are not the Melbourne Storm. They are not the Sydney Roosters and they are not the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past month, most of you will be well aware that a federal election is happening tomorrow.
Hmmm good question – I was at North Sydney Oval for the last Test match, was that one shown on TV? I seem to remember some uproar that people weren’t able to watch the Ellyse Perry double hundred.

Larry my point about Keebra Park is that there is a school on the Gold Coast with plenty of rugby league talent. Why do the Titans keep moving away from their home base and recruiting Sydney players on big money who do nothing? It’s like Parramatta recruiting their players from Brisbane – it doesn’t make sense?
Brennan had to go, but the Titans' problems run deeper than the coach
Appreciate you reading the article!

Dogs Boddy – it’s funny, someone made this very suggestion to me on the weekend.

Superspud good comment re Hayne. Whilst that was a bit of a disaster, at least during that period Jarryd gave them some sense of identity?

Good point nrlfan. Glad this period has given you something to cheer about!
State of Origin fatigue has officially set in
Mushi, as someone who writes a bit of freelance, usually the direction at this time of the year is to focus on Origin. So it’s often a decision being made at an editorial level rather than individuals wanting to write endless Origin contents for months.
State of Origin fatigue has officially set in
Really good point, Ollie – thanks for mentioning Manly. They have really surprised me this year and I’ve been really impressed as to how Des Hasler has been able to get the most out of his players. Where do you think they’ll finish?

Thanks for continuing to click on my articles. You’re a legend!
What do you need to do to get sent off?
And we all know how much Phil Gould likes to zero in on something he doesn’t like and spend the next 15 minutes talking about it. 😀
What do you need to do to get sent off?
Matth, good point re Alyssa and her wicket keeping duties. I hadn’t considered that.
The Aussie women have had some practice matches over in the UK and in their most recent one-day game against the England Academy, it was Ellyse Villani who opened the batting with Alyssa.
So who knows what’s going to happen.
Who will open for the Aussie women in the Ashes?
Tom G, were you there on Friday night?
There is no way that North Sydney Oval’s capacity is 20,000 and if that is the capacity there were more than 10,500 people there. The ground was full. Another 2-3000 people would have made it uncomfortable.
The women’s toilets queues were at least 15 minutes long at half time – so long in fact that some people went to the pub outside the ground to go. Food ran out by half time. If the women’s game continues to grow at this rate then I genuinely don’t see how the fixture can continue to be played at NSO, especially given that it will next be played in NSW in 2021 when the fixture will have grown even more.
Has women's State of Origin outgrown North Sydney Oval?
Ash Barty is incredible – why don’t you write something for the home page?
Nice work Freddy, now bring on Game 3
Care to elaborate?
Hey Freddy, NSW only lost Game 1 by four points. Wholesale team changes weren't needed
Can confirm, I am and always will be a Parramatta fan.

Well said!

I don’t understand this praising a halfback for defence. Sure it’s a nice to have… but that’s not the role I need my halfback to play.
JT wasn’t the best defender – did anyone give a toss?

But the thing about it is, even Trent Robinson can’t get the best out of him. The Latrell Mitchell we saw last week is the Latrell we see every week.

The men’s State of Origin and the Grand Final are close to sell outs. This means that upwards of 70,000 people attend.
The women’s game is not in the same space yet. It was attended by 7,500 people. Why on earth would you play a game in front of 10,000 people at ANZ with a rubbish atmosphere, when you can play it at North Sydney and have it buzzing?
Re NRLW, all games were live streamed on NRL.com.
The 11 debutants set to light up State of Origin
TAZZ, I’m a massive fan of women’s sport and if you haven’t been able to see the coverage on women’s rugby league you haven’t been looking at NRL.com closely enough or following the various social media that spends countless hours talking about the developments in the women’s game.
Additionally, North Sydney Oval is a perfect venue for this game. Did you attend last year? The atmosphere was magic. ANZ Stadium is a terrible place to watch footy… I would be interested in your justification for suggesting the game be played there.

I cannot believe Pearce’s name is still in the mix.
Pearce is a very good club halfback, why can’t we leave it at that?

Could you have Finucane start and RCG off the bench?

MF, what are your thoughts on AFLW expansion? Do you think it happened too quickly?
Sustainable growth key to success of the women's game
Peter, I hope your daughter enjoys this game. How special for your whole family!
