Sad to hear.
Always enjoyed his segments on cricket and rugby before Controversy corner. Wonderful memories. Enjoyed his articles here as well.
God bless you David and your family.

RIP, David Lord: Australian sports journalism icon was 'always thoughtful and thought-provoking'

This is the first time I’ve heard of a wife accusing her husband of r.ape while they were married.

Marital r.ape has been established as crime since 1990’s in most countries, so it is a very, very recent.

Why?

Can someone please confirm if ‘raping your wife’ is a chargeable offence? I thought this was not considered a crime?

Great read.

There are only two ways rugby can go from here - and there's no middle ground between physicality and safety

That is a very unedifying image.

No matter how often I see one, I still have no idea what the heck a hip hop tackle is.

Have many teams beaten them in the last 5 years?

Annesley admits Roosters were robbed as obstruction rules come under blowtorch despite Panthers' statement win

Penrith were the better team last night. Can’t blame one incident. Good teams overcome these. No excuses.

'Best place for me': Wallaby-in-waiting Jorgensen commits to Aussie rugby in boost ahead of Lions series

Just watching his Joeys highlights reel, Jorgo seems more of a playmaker FB ala Willie le Roux-sters rather than a running FB. Potential 5/8?

'Best place for me': Wallaby-in-waiting Jorgensen commits to Aussie rugby in boost ahead of Lions series

I very much doubt Easts offered Jorgo Jnr 900k per season. We only offered Latrell 850k a few years ago when he was a double premiership winner, Origin and Kangaroo star. Mind you, Manu and Suaallii are off to rugby, JWH will retire and Crichton and Tupou’s future are not finalised yet. So we might have some money in the kit.

For decades, every NRL player is somehow linked to The Roosters and we are used as a bargaining chip. It seems RU players are getting in on the act now. Don’t fall for whatever you read in the press.

Great article Beathy.
I love Latrell but geez he can be narcissistic.

Latrell's not walking the walk after talking the talk: Souths should be worried after star goes missing against Roosters

Teddy – you never knock a champ. What’s that saying about ‘class and form’?

Demetriou has 'no doubt' he can turn around Souths after disaster derby sees Latrell binned in Roosters riot

40/20 meat pies,
Easts recruitment has been very good in the NRL era. Leniu and Young have been very good signings. If we get past the controversy, Leniu’s game against Brisbane was very strong and he added a lot of starch to our forwards.

That was a very good crowd. Many Kiwis (mainly RU fans) keep telling us that RL only has a foothold in the back suburbs of South Auckland, but crowds over the last couple of years dispels that myth. There’s been massive crowds all over NZ even for trial games.

Pilferer,

Out of interest, which would make for a better local derby against the Auckland Warriors – a neighbouring suburb/province/city or a team from South Island?

In Oz, the most closest suburb/province/city next to you is the one that you hate the most. You’d probably guessed that by now.

Christchurch almighty: New South Island NRL bid unveils logo, colours, mascot to be ready for 2026 ... and rival Crusaders

I’ve always thought NZ2 would be the next best option, ahead of Perth.
Perth can come in with Adelaide to make it 20.
PNG – another 10-15 years away imo.

You’ve stopped watching League and instead now write on every League article there is, especially when it’s about international League or expansion.

Birdy,

The return of the Amco Cup can have the reggie and U21 players for the NRL teams (+ maybe 3 only first graders) put on their display and push for FG representation. It can give country teams, NZ teams, Perth teams and Adelaide teams to show their stuff. As well as the old QRL teams to reappear.

Also we can see our beloved long lost teams like Newtown and Drummoyne. And it will let us (dare I say it) BRING BACK THE BEARS!

I would give a triple thumbs up for your post.
