This means so much to Newcastle: Knights fans explain 25 years of frustration

This means so much to Newcastle: Knights fans explain 25 years of frustration

The Knights are going to a Grand Final for the first time in a quarter of a century, and it's enough to make a grown man cry.

I’m still nor sure who will beat them, but I know they can be beaten… #nrl #panthers espn.com.au/nrl/story/_/id/4…
Premiership race not over as Panthers stagger

Premiership race not over as Panthers stagger

Clouds of doubt have moved in to darken the seemingly inevitable Panthers march to another premiership.

And they mock the Rugby League World Cup because only a couple of countries ever win it.

England, France, Spain and Argentina - anyone else get the feeling the whole World Cup so far could have been an email? #worldcup

Brisbane decider should be Daley's last

Brisbane decider should be Daley's last

Laurie Daley; tremendous bloke, legend of our great game, has been given two shots at coaching the Blues. A loss in Brisbane will be his last.

I think dropping Ethan Strange for Mitch Moses could prove to be a costly Blues mistake. #stateoforigin espn.com.au/nrl/story/_/id/4…

State of Origin II preview: Nawaqanitawase to start for Blues

To Melbourne we go for State of Origin II, which will be played on the hallowed turf of the MCG in front of a massive crowd, with the Blues one win away from regaining the coveted shield.

The final word on the Ponga send-off. #stateoforigin espn.com.au/nrl/story/_/id/4…
There was no Origin injustice, Ponga's send-off was thoroughly deserved

There was no Origin injustice, Ponga's send-off was thoroughly deserved

State of Origin I was ruined by Kalyn Ponga's send-off; there is very little doubt it allowed the Blues the chance of a victory that they had not earned up until that point. But Ponga is the only one...

The night I turned the footy off after five minutes

The night I turned the footy off after five minutes

Saturday night I parked myself in front of the television in my lounge room for what was sure to be a cracking game of rugby league, five minutes later I was out of there.

Great to expand our NRL slate at @ESPNAusNZ this year, with @IsaacIssaRL joining @DArthur_ESPN @TheMattBungard on the team. Seeing more debate about the state of the game than ever, so we got the guys' takes. A Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z perspective. espn.com.au/nrl/story/_/id/4…

V'Landys, expansion, rule changes: Is the NRL heading in the right direction?

With the NRL charging ever onwards, we pause to ponder; where does the game we all love currently stand?

Spoiler: it’s not Lachie Galvin… espn.com.au/nrl/story/_/id/4…
The real reason the Bulldogs look like crashing out of the finals; it's not Lachie Galvin

The real reason the Bulldogs look like crashing out of the finals; it's not Lachie Galvin

With the Bulldogs facing a straight-sets elimination when they tackle the formidable Panthers on Sunday afternoon, the question being asked is; where did it all go wrong?

Why should a star NRL player care about your tribalism? #nrl #tigers #galvin espn.com.au/nrl/story/_/id/4…
Galvin dumps Tigers: Justifiable self-interest or selfish greed?

Galvin dumps Tigers: Justifiable self-interest or selfish greed?

With Lachlan Galvin deciding to leave Wests Tigers at the end of next season, we look at why such a decision is so painful to fans.

Have Newcastle made a mistake gambling their future on Dylan Brown? #knights #nrlknightsdolphins espn.com.au/nrl/story/_/id/4…
Knights gamble on future; but don't blame Brown

Knights gamble on future; but don't blame Brown

Will Dylan Brown prove himself worthy of the biggest contract in NRL history or will he turn out to be a financial anchor hindering the Knights' chances of building a more complete and competitive...

If this is the future of Australian cricket, we might consider locking all our current ICC trophies away, because we’re unlikely to win any of them again. #SriLanka #odi #Australia

Ch7’s Mel suggesting that Bumrah is the greatest bowler to ever tour Australia is ridiculous. I can name a handful Windies, at least two Pakistanis, one Kiwi, some Proteas and even a Pom or two better than him. Aus batting is at an all time low. #INDvsAUS

Some of them have been naughty, some have been nice, but every NRL team has sent Santa a letter asking for something special this Christmas.

Back in the ‘80s when I studied the rule book to obtain a rugby league referees ticket the try scoring rule said: “a try is scored when the ball OR THE ARM CARRYING THE BALL is grounded..” Why and when was that rule changed? #NRLGF
