Did the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles not read the 2019 script?
Thursday night games are back for the run to the finals, and naturally enough the Brisbane Broncos feature again. In 2018 they played on Thursday eight times, this year it’s seven.
At Monday’s Round 17 weekly review, NRL Head of Elite Football Competitions Graham Annesley tested the winds and launched a kite high into the air.
Teams are starting to fall out of the finals picture as the race for the NRL finals heats up, and Round 18 is promising some more huge matches. This is The Roar’s NRL expert tipping panel for the weekend ahead.
The NRL Round 18 teams are in, with the St George-Illawarra Dragons welcoming back James Graham from long injury layoff ahead of their must-win clash with Penrith.
The send-off finally made its long-awaited reappearance on Sunday night.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would know that Melbourne Storm hooker Cameron Smith played his record-setting 400th NRL game on Saturday night.
There was a time when I was cold on Benji Marshall. I thought he had become a selfish, underperforming, overrated rugby league player.
Rugby league produces some iconic moments that no one will ever forget – from Johnathan Thurston’s premiership-winning field goal in 2015 to Greg Inglis’ final try that ended the Rabbitohs’ 40-year title drought in 2014.
Expansion is every NRL fan’s new favourite topic and everyone has an opinion, from the eternal chants to bring back the Bears to the calls growing louder and louder for a team based in Perth.
On Saturday night the ever-durable Cameron Smith achieved something no-one has ever done before: he ran out onto the field for his 400th first-grade rugby league match.
Many in the NRL community believed this year’s Brisbane Broncos side would be genuine premiership contenders.
Former Penrith Panthers player and Wigan Warriors star, Zak Hardaker, scored a try of the year contender in his side’s 32-10 loss to Super League leaders, St Helens.
Former Sea Eagles coach, Geoff Toovey, is the latest candidate for the Gold Coast Titans’ head coach job. Speaking on Fox Sports’ Controversy Corner, Toovey attempted to remain coy on the matter but his enthusiasm for the job quickly shone through.
‘Fair dinkum, they didn’t turn up!’
NRL Head of Elite Football Competitions Graham Annesley has staunchly defended the performance of the referees and the bunker amid plenty of criticism following Round 17.
Gold Coast Titans chairman Dennis Watt says results were the key part of the decision to part ways with Garth Brennan.
The Canberra Raiders may have picked up a comfortable win over the St George Illawarra Dragons, yet coach Ricky Stuart was left fuming over a controversial decision during the second half.
