I grew up on rugby league. It flows through my veins. When I was six my mum was my first footy team manager, washing jerseys and cutting up oranges for the little devils wearing red and blue.
The Penrith Panthers seem to churn out player after player, and not just a debutant who’s getting a chance, when they take the field, they really make the type of impact that makes you wonder what the Panthers junior system is doing so well.
International rugby league is a hard sell. The difference in the profile of the game in Australia compared to the United Kingdom, New Zealand and France is like comparing an apple to a watermelon.
Having narrowly failed to topple reigning premiers the Sydney Roosters at home last week, the Canberra Raiders will this Saturday night face one of league’s toughest tasks – the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park in the battle of the competition’s two best defences.
This Sunday, competition heavyweights the Sydney Roosters do battle with the Warriors in a game which will undoubtedly prove crucial at season’s end.
On Saturday night at the Bledisloe, we witnessed an event that is rarer than an aurora at the equator in the NRL: a player being sent off.

In my youth I had several epiphanies that could have made me rich if I had been more of a doer than a thinker back then, so you’ll understand that nowadays I put my random musings to paper.

Every NRL podcast worth its salt at one point receives a listener question along the lines of “which NRL coach wins in a fight…”.
