OPINION: New Zealand Rugby have asked for and earned the nation’s trust in their attempts to date to find a long-term solution to fix what is a universally agreed broken financial model. That trust is built on the organisation’s track record of strong financial management, the undeniable success of New Zealand’s various national teams, and the unquestionable desire of everyone […]

Leeds coach Richard Agar praised his players’ desire after they completed the double over Wakefield with a 15-13 golden point victory.

Luke Brooks was outstanding for the Wests Tigers – and coach Michael Maguire hopes those critics who love beating up on the halfback take note. The Tigers sprung the first Magic Round upset with a 36-18 win over Newcastle, and the little No.7 had a try, set up two others and ran for nearly 170 metres. Adam Doueihi celebrates one […]

Hell hath no fury like a battling Collingwood. That is Dane Rampe’s perspective, at least, as the Sydney Swans begin a five-week block that could set up their season, starting with Saturday’s showdown at the SCG.
