CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT As the NRL tightens up through the final round of the season before the Mad Mondays don't begin, rugby league analysts and commentators are throwing around more wisdom than you'd hear along the plank of timber that separates the clubhouse from the stadium seating at a suburban oval. While Bryan Fletcher and Nathan Hindmarsh get to work breaking down...

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | CONTACT In commemoration of one of the most memorable moments in Australian history, cult hero Eric The Eel has been named in the Parramatta Eels team of the century. Eric Moussambani was given the honour during a special virtual ceremony earlier today, nearly 20 years after he took to the pool in the Sydney Olympics. The fan favourite who is...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT The Sydney Rooster's late inclusion to the 2020 squad is still yet to reach his 2004, or even 2012, potential when it comes to inflicting the most physical pain legally allowed on a rugby league field. Sonny Bill Williams impressed in his brief appearances for the boys from Bondi over the last two matches, namely in the 42-12 victory...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT The NSW Police have today announced changes to their engagement with the rugby league community, after NRL Curtis Scott was cleared of all wrongdoing with the emergence of shocking police bodycam footage of his brutal arrest. The 22-year-old was arrested on Australia Day when police found him lying unconscious in Centennial Park, where he had pulled up to take...

BEAU RIVERS | Local News | Contact The NRL judiciary has tonight handed down an entirely fair and reasonable decision, suspending the entire Cronulla-Sutherland outfit for this weekend's game against the Warriors.  The decision comes after the club embarrassed itself last week against a similarly positioned Knights team in the race for the finals. Even as they were destroyed on the scoreboard, the Sharks did...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT A local pub patron has today been sent to the bar by his mates for an HIA, after talking a concerning amount of shit. Usually reserved for rugby league knock-outs and the occasional high-impact header in soccer, an HIA stands for 'Head Injury Assesment' and is treated extremely seriously in contact sports. However, in recent year, it has since...

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | CONTACT The tennis fraternity is today unanimously piling on Novak Djokovic, after the background of the US Open Line judge he hit was revealed. While the majority of people who follow the sport were of the opinion that his behaviour was unacceptable and he should have known better, some had been holding off - pushing the line that it...

LOUIS BOURKE | Culture | CONTACT Local Jobkeeper recipient Olivia Siska (32) has put herself behind the 8 ball from the get-go this week with an ill-planned Monday morning sleep in. Due to the economic impact of COVID-19 and recession the coalition government swears would never have happened otherwise, Siska was stood down from her work duties but has continued to receive a wage due...

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | CONTACT The already weird US Open* got even weirder this morning, after Novak Djokovic took responsibility for his actions, or tried to look as if he was at the very least. The number one seed and odds on favourite to win the tournament did so after hitting an official in the throat with a tennis ball a few hours...

LOUIS BURKE | Culture | CONTACT With only three rounds of regular season footy remaining, couch commentators are coming out with the most cutting hot takes that they read while on the dunny.  One such clairvoyant is West Tigers supporter Rodney Tumble (46) who has foreseen that Minor Premiership shoe-ins the Penrith Panthers will choke during finals footy. “All this winning has gone to their head,”...
