We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

DCE in a Roosters jersey kind of freaked me out www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Robert Toia will break a record that's stood since the first ever Origin game and become the least-experienced starting player in State of Origin history on Wednesday night. Absolutely wild. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Tim Smith still holds the NRL’s season try assist record, but his story is much bigger than one great season. Loved writing this. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Stand aside, here come the mighty Bears www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Proud to announce the return of a special Magic Round offer - if you buy me a beer, we’ll have a yarn about the 90s/00s NRL player of your choice. Put a Fourex in my hand and you’ll get a Bill Peden conversation, that’s the Nick Campton guarantee

Lachlan Galvin's chances of playing five-eighth for City Origin this season have taken a hit in the last 24 hours

Wrote about the Wahs. With only 30 NRL games under his belt Luke Metcalf's got a big Warriors halfback legacy to live up to, but his confidence and willingness to aim high is really striking. Been quite impressed. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Thought Saturday was proof some of Gutherson's best qualities are already showing at Saints. He's not the sort that needs extra motivation, but the game against Parra will be a big one www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Only thing that shocked me more than Tom Jenkins playing fullback last week was how well he did. Penrith's had a lot of unlikely success stories since their run started, given Jenkins started the pre-season with a Ron Massey Cup side he might be the best www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

DCE leaving still feels a bit surreal - if he does end up going, 2026 will be the first time in almost 40 years that Manly start a season without someone on the roster who's won a premiership with the club www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

George Foreman was one of those dudes who was always so sharp even as he got older I thought he’d live forever. Another link to a great era of boxing gone.

Shout out to the many times I told people in the greater Canberra area that Corey Horsburgh was my cousin, those pissed up lies have made the Raiders strong, never turn your back on family

Tom Starling is the fuckin truth

Shout out to the Warrington fan I met in Vegas who was so drunk he couldn’t tell me his name but managed to tell me that Matty Nicholson “didn’t mind putting it up ‘em” he was so right

If your girlfriend doesn’t tell you off for cheering too loud and scaring people off their dinner at the pub you just aren’t going hard enough

Jamie Humphreys is like when Ken self-actualises at the end of Barbie. He is more than Ken-enough.

Big fan of Dylan Brown as a player. Paying him the richest deal in NRL history to do something he has never really done (which doubles as the hardest thing to do in the whole sport) is the biggest swing imaginable. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Big season coming in more ways than one for Ryan Papenhuyzen but I think he's up to it, he's my pick for the Dally M www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Vegas verdict - if you can get over here when your team is playing you should 100% do it, a legit once in a lifetime experience. Would also recommend your team do ins when they come here, that’s very important.

Just fist bumped Clinton Schifcofske and he said “see ya at the grand final brother” perhaps the best interaction of my entire life

The word on the streets of Las Vegas is those plucky lads from Canberra are gonna win the comp and the live ladder agrees

Two sports in a day, call me Deion Sanders

Don’t love LA but Lakers games are always incredible

Telling anyone in San Antonio who will listen that it’s always National Margarita Day in my heart

No more footy, now I just follow the rodeo
