    2025 R7 Sat - Warriors 20-18* Brisbane @ Go Media

    Walters and Willison starting for the Broncos. It'll be interesting to see if that improves their opening stanza. The Broncos have struggled in the early exchanges and have lost every feeling out process. It seems like Madge is going all out, but if the Broncos fail to gain an early lead it...

    2025 R7 Fri - Dolphins 42-22 Melbourne @ Suncorp

    At 16-2, it seemed like Melbourne were going to roll their way to another victory. All it took was one loose pass from Papenhuyzen to ruin their momentum and the Dolphins made them pay. The Storm's middle third was surprisingly brittle in defence and the halves had a field day. It seemed like...

    2025 R1 Thu - Sydney 14-50 Brisbane @ Allianz

    If there was one position Madge could tinker with, it was hooker. Due to some really poor roster management, the Broncos ended up with five dummy halves so it was the one spot they could afford to pick on form. Paix was highly rated in the juniors but has never been able to take his opportunity...

    2025 R1 Fri - South Sydney 16-14 Dolphins @ CommBank

    It's tough on the Dolphins, but if they go onto win, they should get more value out of it. It's one thing to play an injury-ravaged South Sydney team at home, it's another to do it on the road while your loved ones are dealing with a natural disaster. The worst thing they can do is lose and...

    2025 R1 Thu - Sydney 14-50 Brisbane @ Allianz

    I expect the Broncos to keep it tight. They'll rely heavily on Haas, Carrigan, Hetherington and Willison to drive it up middle and target the Roosters edges later in the sets. I expect it to be fairly aimless and unless they can jag an early try I can't see them scoring any points until 20 or so...

    Do you boo?

    Well it's difficult to gauge an accurate penalty when there is so much conjecture and misinformation. It's important to actually understand what crime has been committed here.

    Do you boo?

    I'm not excusing Ezra because ultimately he was selfish, reckless and considerably lucky. However, he plead guilty to driving without a license and for driving with a drug present in his system - which is different to driving under the influence of drugs. He was never charged with any drunk...

    2025 NRL Pre-Season Challenge - Week 1

    Isn't he recovering from off-season shoulder surgery? How's he tracking? I picture Ivan will be patient with him and will ease him into the role.

    2025 NRL Pre-Season Challenge - Week 1

    I wonder if Laurie will throw his hat into the ring for the vacant #6? Both Cole and Schneider struggled to assert themselves, while Laurie's running game would compliment Cleary's style of play. It was a rough audition for Cole and Schneider, Penrith had a mountain of possession and they...

    2025 Mal Meninga Cup

    Burleigh Bears 28 (Antonio Verhoeven 2, Tavake Tau'a'alo, Marley McLaren, Kaea Cribb tries; Hayden Watson 3/4, Marley McLaren 1/1 goals) def Ipswich Jets 12 (Henry Kallquist, Marlon Frost tries; Nathan Fraser 2/2 goals) Strong performance by Antonio 'Nio' Verhoeven on debut. Two tries and he...

    Since the beginning. What were your impressions on the show, mate? Did you have any favourite wrestlers?

    WWE On Netflix

    I never got around to watching RAW. However I don't think that show was a representation of what they're doing moving forward, it was just a show for their fanbase to entice them to make the switch.

    WWE On Netflix

    There was plenty of wrestling on SmackDown this week, so much so, it dragged the show down. The issue with long TV matches is that half the action is lost within the ad-breaks so it just seems like they're filling time instead of maximising it to get themselves over. A good TV match should be...
