Alex McKinnon has put aside any personal grievances he once had with Cameron Smith to laud the Melbourne legend as the greatest player rugby league has ever seen. Smith announced his retirement last week, ending months of speculation about his future since the Storm beat Penrith in last year’s grand final. And while many have praised the 37-year-old as the […]

The Penrith Panthers have kicked off the season with a 24-0 belting of the North Queensland Cowboys.

By the time a breathless Parramatta side limped into the dressing room at Suncorp Stadium after their comeback win over the Broncos, coach Brad Arthur was already reminding them of their next assignment. The 24-16 win by the Eels didn’t look particularly flattering on Friday night and there wasn’t much gloss left on Saturday. Arthur praised their character to come […]

Joey Leilua has already proven Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire wrong, now he wants to do the same to Ricky Stuart in his first game in Canberra since leaving the club in 2019.

Australian rugby is in a tough spot but we didn’t know it was so bad the lights would go out mid-game … literally. The Melbourne Rebels’ 10-7 win over the Western Force on Friday night in Perth descended into a farce when play was stopped in the 74th minute because some of the lights stopped working at HBF Park. Kayo […]

There aren’t many one-club players in the modern game – and Tommy Makinson and Adam Milner have epitomised everything good about St Helens and Castleford during their careers. Both have their testimonial matches this weekend and deserve to be well supported for their efforts over the last decade. I first came across Tommy properly during the 2018 test series with […]

The Brisbane Broncos have had yet another second half fade out in a 24-16 loss to Parramatta but this time, it wasn’t through lack of effort. After a season where the Broncos were accused of a lack of effort as the club finished with its first wooden spoon, signs were looking like it was a very different Broncos as they […]
