At the halfway point of the 2020 NRL season, I discussed who the most valuable player was for each club. My argument was that without this player on the field, the club would not be able to win the premiership. So with nearly every club announcing their player of the year recipients, let’s compare my […]
The Newcastle Knights entered the top tier in 1988 and have had 320 players run out in first grade.
Last weekend’s Super League grand final had one of the most dramatic, climactic finishes to a season in living memory.
The NRL draw for the 2021 season has been released, with a return to mid-year State of Origin and six games played in regional NSW headlining the announcement.
It’s tough to see the team you support lose. It’s even tougher when the loss comes at the hands of your arch rivals.
New South Wales does not understand Origin again, with their insistent state of confusion returning after grasping the concept for almost seven entire days.
And so, just like that, Queensland are the Origin champions. They have done what only a month ago was thought of as unthinkable, getting the better of New South Wales with a dominant display in Game 3 at Suncorp Stadium. Here are my talking points.
Written off by just about everyone before the series started, the Queensland Maroons sealed a memorable Origin victory by winning Game 3 20-14 in Brisbane.
A series that was meant to be a sure thing has ended in bitter disappointment for the NSW Blues, their 20-14 loss in Game 3 handing the Origin shield back to Queensland for the first time since 2017.

This is the tenth article in the series that looks at some of the forgotten players from your favourite club.
They were given next to no chance of winning a game this series, but somehow, Queensland have once again earned bragging rights in the traditional interstate showdown.
With Origin over and the players freed from bubble life, you may be forgiven for thinking the sport was done for the year.
We asked Roar rugby league expert Tim Gore to sit down with us and answer a few questions about State of Origin.
It’s official. Paul Gallen and Mark Hunt will officially fight each other on December 16 as part of the Tim Tszyu-Bowyn Morgan fight night at Bankwest Stadium.
Scott Bailey from AAP just made a name for himself.
After blocking a conversion Sacramento State made big yards using rugby-style passes against University of Northern Colorado.
Laurie Daley was always destined for great things and the Riverina was lucky to witness his skill in the 80s.
Cronulla Sharks prop Andrew Fifita was quick to post this to his instagram page and why not! He’s now called on actual kickers to try and match him with the hashtag #DeadBallLineChallenge.
In the 26th minute of an August 2009 match between the Manly Sea Eagles and Cronulla Sharks, NRL referee Phil Haines faced a testing situation. Manly player Chris Bailey lay prone on the ground after being struck in the head by Cronulla’s Luke Douglas.
