Thanks for this article Ryan. Some of us have been chirping away at that parasite and his muckraking colleagues for years. Welcome to the party.
2018: The year rugby league turned on Buzz Rothfield
Good article, well written, on point and very hard to argue with.
My Broncos are no chance for the 2018 NRL premiership
Agree Brett although I think Brisbane (my team) will be sore about losing to Hobart at home and will play harder for revenge.
ps not to be a pedant but there are a couple of glaring editing mistakes in the article.
BBL07: Five teams left genuinely pushing for the semis, but not for long
Not living in Victoria it’s hard to imagine a world where the AFL is “a community leader, influencer and opinion shaper on a number of social issues, including multiculturalism, indigenous rights, violence, gender equality, same-sex marriage, workplace diversity and women’s rights.”
The AFL's 900 million shades of hypocrisy
Such a predictable comp. When will the tanking start and who will win?
The AFL finalists are already decided
That was interesting in that it was close and both teams seemed to run out of petrol at the same time. The Sharks had their chances to win this but the Tigers were good enough to hold on for the win.
My man of the match is Luke Brooks.
Thanks for reading
