Latrell cops lengthy ban for high elbow hit on Johnson as Souths coach laments 'stupid' acts
100%. Latrell is like a high maintenance girlfriend: she can be really great but she is exhausting and needs a lot of reassurance. South’s should start think about seeing other people

Sounds very cosmic. Are they into cricket?
Team of the Month: an April-born World Cricket XI
Hi Rowdy
I need your help. I’ve gone down the Mark Waugh rabbit hole and now I’m triggered. Any advice you can give to a shallow fan with first world problems?
Team of the Month: an April-born World Cricket XI
You know I love this. I’ll be reading over it again and again today.
But I’ve gone down rabbit holes by trying to find an April born state team to smack the Minnow English in a tour match. So far I’ve
got MacLeay and Massie. Sometimes, I just suck at life.

Why aren’t you main eventing at Wrestlemania again?
'It's definitely not my call': Lyon roars his disapproval over CA cutting county stint short
Thanks Bernie. It was a surprisingly good performance and Coggers kicking game made a huge difference.
I hope all the Roosters top 30 are stood down with HIA next week. We need to look after player welfare and deport Dom Young

AD, this is some fine work.
Who wins the April born Ashes series? Surely you must pick a pommy XI with Harmi taking the new ball and Monty and Tuffers at 1st and 2nd slip

Mike, a correction.
Zac Lomax is the winger of attention, not the centre of attention. Which led to this whole release thing.
Dead set it behoves me that Zac Lomax is going. It’s the first time I can remember he’s a genuine origin contender, so be packs up his spade and leaves the sandpit? Get back in your sand, Zac man.

Good ol Smog Gobblers.
Nothing is more appropriate or suitable than the Wests Maggots.
Getting value for money from stars is the biggest competitive advantage in the NRL - and the flip side can be devastating
Buzz? Yes
Knights already at sixes and sevens again: What exactly was the rush to re-sign O’Brien long term?
The Gorillas smashed the Pumpkin Pickers and the Butcher Boys let me tell you!

Take Kayln out of the Knights, and it’s a pretty sad state of affairs.
Even with Kayln it’s not exactly a great state of affairs.
I think someone needs to ask Buzz Rothfield on 360 for his thoughts. Buzz will know what to do

The canary in the coalmine.
That’s a gem. I hadn’t heard it in years and today I’ve read it and heard it on two podcasts.
Let’s hope we hear it plenty more
'Will that change in the NRL? It probably will': Why Walsh is the canary in the coalmine for concussion
Awww Bernie you say the sweetest things to a guy who isn’t your fiance. And all the best for you and your bride later this year.
Now fair notice to you: I have a LOT of questions after the first 100 pages. A lot (which, relatively, is as much or as many as Brian hates the Romans). But I’ll reserve my queries for after said reading and you have postponed said honeymoon to explain some of the graphs, stats and stuff.
Australia's batters only scored three tons last summer: Why it is time to move past the obsession of the 'big score'
Dolphins and Anthony Milford is the forgotten cap anchor.
The knights spine has scoliosis with Brailey over the past two years and now with the Hastings/Cogger/Gamble Menage a Trois.
The Cows let Luciano go and they still have more backrowers than I have back hair.
Managing the salary cap is like doing a jigsaw puzzle using only play doh.

Bernie, I’m 30 pages in and….there’s a lot of decimals and stats. Like a LOT. And there’s even coloured pie charts.
These are not conditions Choppy traditionally does well in. So it’s going to be a tough few sessions in the face of so much data. I need to keep the head down, play each graph on its merit and keep the pages turning. It’ll be much easier in the middle by days 3 and 4. I hope.
