Sandpaper Gate Revisted after 8yrs

Seeing it's the off season, I'd love to know what everyone thinks of what is currently happening in Australian Cricket.Current Aussie captain Pat Cummings spent more than a hour answering questions today about the latest saga. Was Usman right in bringing it up 8yrs later? Or is it in time to sell his book? Did the team know what was going on or did the coach?Why has Warner all of a sudden spoken out? Things are gonna get messy. If not already.Im leaning towards Pat Cummings being the honest one.

Look who's 'back in black'

Eels sign James Schiller

The Parramatta Eels have signed former Canberra Raiders and Newcastle Knights Winger James Schiller to a two-year deal effective immediately until the end of the 2028 season. Schiller has played 33 NRL games, scoring 18 tries across five seasons. Schiller has the ability to play both Centre and Wing, possessing decent speed and high ball ability. Defensively is where he lets himself down.There were rumours he was set to sign with the Wests Tigers, however Schiller is on his way to Western…

Moses’ on field

Interesting 'Bloke in a Bar' podcast with Jordan Samrani talking about Mitch Moses. Samrani discusses Moses' competitiveness, his constant on-field talk and leadership. One quip was that with Moses everything is "like an Origin series", which is an interesting reflection given some on 1EE absurdly doubt whether it's good to have the team captain and chief playmaker be in Origin and Test teams. The very last thing the Eels need is losing contact with cultures of excellence, which Moses obviously…

Finals attendance figures

The NRL must be stocked with the attendance this weekend... 28k on Friday, 26k in Auckland, 17k last night and plenty of empty seats for today's game. And that's despite most of the stadiums holding much larger numbers.With Souths now gone, and Newcastle without a home game, there are no other clubs that will pull big numbers. Imagine a finals series with Parra, Canterbury, St George, Souths, Brisbane, Newcastle, Wests.

Liam Martin and Jacob Preston

On NRL360 last night Braith Anasta stated that Liam Martin had given Penrith until 25 August to start negotiations and sort out his future. It was also stated that Martin is looking at a $1 million paycheck.  Now I doubt Penrith are in a position to offer such cash for Martin with the likes of Yeo and Cleary yet to put pen to paper and the Chiefs and Bears circling being cashed up.  Anasta also said that the Dogs had offered Jacob Preston a 3 year deal worth $1.9 million or as was put $630K a…

Remember Rodney Hogg

Rodney was a late arrival to Test cricket at age 27. Born in Victoria he was overlooked by state selectors and moved to Adelaide to find an earlier path to Shield.He was selected and within a year he was noticed by Alan Davidson who mentioned his name to National Selectors. Just before this Lillee and co had debarked to Packer's World Cricket.So Hoggie was picked to play in the home series against the Poms and then take on the Pakistanis in the summer of 78-79.The games purists were as shocked…
