CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT Drama surrounding the NRL's new high shot rules continues into Origin, as rugby league traditionalists demand that administrators backpedal on their decision to ban footballers from running as hard as they can into another footballer who is also running as hard as he can, and causing lifelong brain injuries as rotator cuff muscles clash with cheekbones. Players do not...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT Peter V'Landys, the first sports administrator on planet earth to get organised sport back on TV screens during the unprecedented 2020 pandemic, is under increasing scrutiny as journalists and players grow frustrated with his constant tinkering of NRL rules. The main gripe, according to the salivating meathead league reporters Paul Kent and James 'Baldy' Hooper, is that players are...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT While the vultures of rugby league journalism continue to make up bullshit stories about a senior player coup to take down NRL chairman Peter V'Landys, the game's administrators insist that the new high-shot rules will appy to the State Of Origin series as well. There has been a drastic spike in sin-bins for dangerous contact in the fixtures since...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT SORRY BUT THAT'S ALL WE GOT: Townsville will host State of Origin game one on June 9, with the ongoing lockdown in Victoria forcing the game to change venues from the MCG. Initially, the NRL had been looking at another "neutral" venue like Perth, Adelaide or Canberra - after relentless whingeing from the Hillsong Blues. However, that was not to...

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | Contact The Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs and Waratahs of the AFL have today tried a bold new tactic to save their season. Sitting at the bottom of the AFL ladder, the North Melbourne Kangaroos have decided to go for an unmasked walk through the Whittlesea area. In a weird attempt at self-sabotage it's believed the poor old Kangas are trying...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT Sydney Roosters enforcer, Victor 'The Inflictor' Radley has felt the full force of the NRL referees over the weekend, following the crackdown on high shots. Scum Valley's Finest was sin binned twice in the opening 42 minutes of the Rooster's surprising loss to the incumbent wooden spooners at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday night. At the 12 minute mark, Radley was...

Hostilities surrounding the state of Israel Falou are once again in the news, as the most controversial figure in Australia's rugby codes announces plans to invade Queensland rugby league. This has seen a spike in the religious tensions surrounding Israel's beliefs, and the subsequently casual racial vilification of Israel's supporters online. The conservative firebrand is viewed by many in both rugby...

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | Contact The Australian sporting fraternity is in a state of shock this week after allegations have come to light that maybe our fast bowlers may have been aware of 'Sandpaper Gate' before it happened.
