South Sydney are the finals danger nobody wants to face

I reckon September has found its most dangerous gatecrasher. South Sydney have momentum, experience and Wayne Bennett; everyone else has a problem.

Canterbury blew up their identity & now the confusion is everywhere

I can accept a bold coaching appointment, but I cannot accept a football team wilfully forgetting what made it successful. Canterbury deserve every hard question coming their way.

Jai Arrow’s 100th game shows rugby league at its absolute best

Cronulla are sleepwalking towards a September ambush

I’m not burying Cronulla, but September has no patience for a side waiting to rediscover itself. The top eight is settled; the Sharks’ identity crisis is not.
