The Broncos are rugby league’s richest rabble, so who is to blame?

I’ve seen clubs lose games, dressing rooms and their nerve. Brisbane have managed the lot while pretending everything is under control.

When does it stop? What next for the Broncos after the Adam Reynolds’ circus?

I’ve defended Michael Maguire because winners deserve credit in the bank, but Brisbane’s treatment of Adam Reynolds was indefensible. One simple selection decision has exposed every crack at Red Hill.

The NRL built the Chiefs as a tax-free super-team, now it must own the fall-out

I’ve seen expansion teams handed a leg-up. This is different: the NRL is building the Papua New Guinea Chiefs an express lane through the salary cap.

Great clubs know what works. The rest keep tearing down the walls

I’ve watched rugby league and the media make the same stupid mistake for years: they find something that works, grow bored with it, then start swinging the wrecking ball.

Penrith have found their steel while Brisbane have lost their nerve

I’ve seen enough to make the call: Penrith are properly back, while Brisbane are trapped in a mess of their own making. One club still knows exactly what it is; the other keeps ordering reviews to avoid looking in the mirror.

The Warriors can win it all — and Webster has earned the keys

I’ve seen enough to declare the Warriors genuine premiership material, while Queensland’s coaching search has only one sensible answer. Wayne Bennett should take the Maroons back, because some jobs demand presence more than PowerPoint.

The Roosters have found their premiership defence — and Penrith should be worried

I’ve seen enough: the Roosters are no longer building quietly in the background. Their defence has arrived, their halves have settled and the premiership race has changed shape.

The Roosters’ Sam Walker standoff is a premiership gamble they don’t need

I’ve seen contract sagas become contagious before, and the Roosters are flirting with one at precisely the wrong time. The premiership race has arrived early; nobody needs lawyers and managers supplying the head noise.

How Darryl Brohman beat cancer twice & kept rugby league smiling

I’ve always believed laughter tells you plenty about a man, but the way Darryl Brohman has faced cancer tells you even more. Beneath the gags is a grateful, decent soul who knows exactly how lucky he has been.

How the NRL encouraged momentum, up-turned the ladder & buried defence

I’ve got rule exhaustion. The NRL keeps manufacturing fixes for problems it created, while the game’s natural contest gets buried under points.
