'Unprofessional, awkward, childish': Joey tossing toys out of cot tarnishes Origin decider that had it all
Great to see Joey hurting.
'Unprofessional, awkward, childish': Joey tossing toys out of cot tarnishes Origin decider that had it all
“It has always been my dream to play for the Knights” – Kaylan Ponga. Well now that dream has been fulfilled he might also dream of playing under Wayne Bennett in a new NRL franchise named the Dolphins.
Surely the player can develop further as a person having many dreams to achieve. Maybe he might also dream of winning a premiership and right now the Dolphins have as much chance as the Knights.
So Ponga will join Milford at the Dolphins.

Two from two. Good start to the 2022 season. Cowboys next week which is a winnable contest and Warriors in round 4, again a match they can win. They could be 4/4 and that will give them a lot of confidence as they build combinations and experience as well as a winning culture. Go Bronco. Special mention – Corey Oats, 100 first grade tries.
'We're a different team this year': Broncos show true grit to battle past Bulldogs in grinding win
Outstanding player and a true gentleman. Last year he was injured and struggled to play himself into for but with a full offseason under his belt he is ready to rumble. Fearless in attack and defence with a great turn of pace, a swerve, massive fend and bone rattling defence. If the Cows loose him, they will struggle to contain him when they meet.
Taumalolo ignores 'outside noise' to lead Cowboys to big win over Raiders, but result marred by Mitch Dunn ACL
That’s harsh. Could be the best playmaker in the competition this year. I would not let him walk. He is a real talent and at 27 he still has plenty to offer. If he did sign elsewhere he would be someday playing against the storm and I would back him to take the lollies.

The Broncos are in the best shape they have been in the last three years. They have a decent mix of experience in the forwards and the backs and plenty of talented youth. The club is stable and has extended Walters contract. The front office has seen great change and has top class professionals in charge.
The team looks fit and well bonded. Early days yet but I am encouraged by what I see.
Broncos and the eight: Why my thinking is shifting
Walker hit Turpin after he recovered a dropped ball. Turpin was on the ground. Turpin was angry and was immediately replaced.

Despite the tipsters all favouring the Bunnies, the Broncos fought to the end. The team looked fit and dedicated in defence. They blew a few tries but for a first hit out it was gutsy. Add Reynolds and Hetherington and the Dogs might have a tough game in round 2. Mention for Corey Oats – 99 first grade tries.

Let’s see what. South Sydney can do with him. Jason D has been understudy to Mr Bennett.

Hi Andrew. I still feel positive about the Broncos future. Do you have any new reflections. Like I said. Two key signings could put the team in finals contention. Well Reynolds and Capewell could be a positive influence.

The Broncos' road to redemption starts this weekend
Did someone forget Adam Reynolds is the marquee signing for 2022. Gamble has enough skills and determination to give the 5/8 role a go. With a full preseason he will be much improved.

Both calls were correct. Yes marginal but correct. The same rules apply to everyone.
