When Kevin Walters took over the coaching job at the Brisbane Broncos he had many critics that didn’t believe he was up to the task. A slow start to the 2021 season saw questions about his coaching ability and the media was relentless when it come to pushing for someone else to take over. Like…

Adam Reynolds has suffered a suspected broken jaw as South Sydney got off their season off to a great start with a dominant win 42-10 over the Sydney Roosters at the football stadium. Played in oppressive heat, the Rabbitohs looked the better team right from kickoff. They dominated possession and field position thanks to mistakes…
When I was in high school I had a friend that supported the South Sydney Rabbitohs. It was something he didn’t mention too much though. This was when George Piggins was running the club and they looked like they did not belong anywhere near the top level of the game. After high school I remember…
Confusion well and truly reigned today across social media after two seemingly identical 40/20 kicks were treated completely differently. Early in the first half of the Roosters win over the Panthers, Jake Friend landed a beautiful 40/20 kick. His team took the quick tap that is now allowed this season, in a play that resulted…
Andrew Proszenko has an interesting article in the Sydney Morning Herald today that suggests that South Sydney may be willing to give halfback Adam Reynolds an early release from his contract after signing QLD Cup player Cody Walker. It would be a huge call on South Sydney’s behalf but it is clear the club is…
Do you know how many times New South Wales have changed their halves combination since Queensland started their record breaking run in the State Of Origin series? Yeah…I don’t care either! I am sick to death of hearing people say that the reason New South Wales loses State Of Origin series comes down to the…
The Manly Sea Eagles have beaten the South Sydney Rabbitohs 14-12 in a scrappy game played in Gosford. Manly, who were plying without Brett and Glenn Stewart, didn’t play all that will in this match. Penalties and dropped ball plagued their 80 minutes with only a few big plays late in the game giving the…
As much as we may choose not to believe it as fans, often the fate of our clubs can boil down to the fortunes of just one man. These people can be superstars or workhorses, forwards or backs – but their fate is linked inextricably to that of their club. So with the 2014 season…

With Queensland leveling up the State Of Origin Series midweek attention turns back to the NRL. Round 16 will kick off tonight when the high flying South Sydney Rabbits host the Canberra Raiders. With the Bunnies’ Origin stars named to return both sides are almost at full strength, the most notable omission of course being…
The New South Wales State of Origin side is set to be named on Sunday night and it seems everybody is talking about who should be selected. Some players are automatic selections (i.e. Gallen, Jennings) whilst other spots are extremely up for grabs (i.e. five-eighth, bench). In something that is sure to spark much feedback…
Wowsers. What a collector’s item of sparkling goal kicking from Luke Walsh last night! The Penrith halfback’s spotless 11 from 11 was a magnificent showcase of accuracy from sideline to sideline, not to mention a perfect accompaniment to the razzle dazzle being served up by the Panthers on the CUA turf against a porous Warriors…
New South Wales, we need a Todd Carney contingency plan. It seems a rambunctious youth of whiskey and lead-footing combined with the rusting capabilities of the Shire’s ocean air is slowly beginning to render his body brittle and unreliable. Right now, our incumbent five-eighth is sidelined with a busted ankle that will keep him out…
Well the first game of the season is now in the books and I think there were a few things we got out of the Rabbitohs 28-10 win over the Roosters. While you tend to find that early season games can be a bit messy, this one wasn’t too bad. I have the South Sydney…
Award in Rugby League rain like confetti these days. You have organisations and magazines handing them out to all and sundry and forming groups of people who vote based on their own agendas or in most cases, ignorance. That is why The King Of Rugby League Awards stands out from the crowd. I am the…
The Canterbury Bulldogs will take on the Melbourne Storm in the 2012 NRL Grand Final after beating the South Sydney Rabbitohs 32-8. The Bulldogs got off to a great start with an early try but from that point on it was all Rabbitohs. The Bulldogs looked right off their game, they dropped a lot of…
No one gives a stuff about teams that lose in the semi finals. They get so close to being in the Grand Final, and yet they are not even a footnote in history when it comes down to it. This week we have four teams all with stories to tell about their journey to get…
The first week of the NRL Finals series kicks off this weekend and it is shaping up as the NRL marketers dream. There are so many big match ups in the first week of the finals and the new finals system should make things easier for fans to follow too. The NRL captains call was…
Over the last few months the South Sydney Rabbitohs have had a good run of form, and it led a lot of their fans to ask me if I rated them as a true Grand Final contender. The whole time I said I wanted to wait and see how they went against one of the…
