Elite-level fraud that somehow gets paid to (rarely) write about sport. Mainly for @TheRoarSports. Oh, and I seem to support the teams everyone really hates.

Always “fun” revisiting my pre-season predictions. It’s even more fun sneaking myself some extra points. Always mark your own homework, kiddies! The Roar theroar.com.au/2022/10/04/rev…

If you want NBA predictions that will actually happen, this is probably not the piece for you. However, if you want some crazy stuff, then dig right in! The Roar theroar.com.au/2022/10/17/fiv…

Hi Diddly Ho, can someone at The Simpsons let #NedFlanders know about the all new Left-Handed KFC that’s on our app so he can take it straight to the Leftorium... #lefthandedKFC #TheSimpsons

Considering the breaking news that the Bucks just fired Coach Bud, I’m guessing they do view the season as a failure! The Roar theroar.com.au/2023/05/05/sor…

Usually, for the Ashes, I would do a miniseries of podcasts on Beyond The Fence with Ryan O'Connell. We missed the first Test for reasons but we're back tomorrow night to breakdown Lord's, and we're even joined by @stevesmithffx too. Question for the show? Chuck it below. #Ashes

The Ashes has been captivating, and England losing their minds - on several levels, and in many ways - is the main reason for it. Thanks England! The Roar. theroar.com.au/2023/07/06/baz…

Time to say goodbye to Davey Warner. And hello to Cam Green opening. I don’t even think that’s controversial either! The Roar. #ashes theroar.com.au/2023/07/10/eve…

🚨PODCAST ALERT🚨 Myself, Ryan O'Connell and @stevesmithffx are back to break down yet another disappointing Headingley performance, including Mitch Marsh's redemption and poor bowling. Check it out and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. #Ashes open.spotify.com/episode/6zpMuH…

The whinging, the hypocrisy, and the tears this morning are worth a tweet. This is honestly better than winning 5-0. Thank you, England. Never Change. #ashes

On the back of some of the most thrilling weather watching in recent history, I am reconvening with @stevesmithffx and Ryan O'Connell to recap a brilliant 4th #Ashes Test. As usual, if you have a question for the podcast, submit it below. Beyond The Fence

Souths need to adopt footy’s version of ‘Bazball’. They can even call it ‘Bunniezball’. The Roar has the full rational. theroar.com.au/2024/03/28/why…

ESPN letting go of Zach Lowe is the worst decision I can possibly fathom. What in the world are they thinking? He’s the best NBA analyst in the world. And I’m not even sure it’s close. (Having had the pleasure of meeting him, he’s also a lovely guy.) Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Revisiting my preseason NRL predictions, and applying egg to my face, are traditionally the exact same thing. Always a fun story to write, and even worthy of a tweet. Or X. Or whatever you bloody call them now. The Roar. theroar.com.au/2024/10/09/rev…

Well, it’s been awhile. And this thing is called X now? And who the hell is Elon Musk? Anyway, here are my annual NRL predictions for The Roar. theroar.com.au/2025/02/25/fea…

Always fun revisiting my The Roar pre-season NRL predictions. (And Steve Smith said I’d never be back on Twitter, sorry I meant X, ever again!) theroar.com.au/2025/10/08/rev…
