I like the Rabbitohs, Spurs (NBA), Swimming/Olympics and other such things. Former sports writer now telling stories in a different way.

Heartbreaking. I first met Nath when we were pouring beers at the Covent Garden Walkabout in the early 2000s and our paths crossed many times across swimming and Olympic sport. Everyone loved him, gone far too soon. RIP mate.

Just when they thought it was safe to go back in the water...

Over the moon to be heading to my fifth Olympics, this time with the AUS Olympic Team crew. I'll be back on the tools on pool deck to do my best to tell the stories of this extraordinary crop of athletes.

It's not especially useful when Latrell Mitchell continually gets referenced as a 'superstar fullback'. I would have at least nine others in front of him around the NRL. Souths need cold, sober performance analysis. Mitchell should hardly be unmovable

Real 'definition of insanity' areas for Souths, turning up with the same players and same plans week after week and expecting different results. Some leadership needed to shake off this mad 'she'll be right' mentality. It ain't right

Real bad luck for Tszyu. Feel like the doctor could have stopped that early given there was no way to stop the heavy bleeding. Very courageous but also super disciplined from Fundora, fought very well. Tszyu won't lose any US fans after that bloodbath though

When he says 'mega stadium', he really just means a 'normal' stadium like every other major capital, which then take events, and sport, and tourism dollars. And other premiers get to do those daggy jokes about their state being better. 'The Olympic City', gets the dregs.

The Broncos 1994 Heritage Jersey and QE2 both make a comeback on the same day. Can't be a coincidence. Both awful designs. Can investigate pls Pete Badel.

Absolutely Q. I am convinced people are desperate for leadership and vision around these Games. They all had it when they flag-waved and back-slapped when the bid was won... it's gone up in smoke.

For a sports and Olympics nerd, the idea that a city-shaping stadium at Vic Park will be scrapped in favour of putting a bit of lipstick on QSAC and upgrading a stadium that doesn't upgrading is a real downer. Guys, really

I'm not surprised Souths have been poor. They were awful in the second half of 2023 and little has changed. A halfback that can't create, a fullback who is a centre, severe lack of speed, age at 9 and 6, no dynamic ball runners. Cam Murray a freak, deserves more

Imagine our Indigenous sisters and brothers asking for something as simple as a representative group to speak to policy makers and the majority of the nation says ‘no’. What a pack of miserable bastards we are.

A hearty welcome to Broncos fans to the 'We Lost to Penrith in a Grand Final Club'. Meetings (counselling sessions) every second Thursday at 4pm GrandFinal

Leaning to Brisbane today. In form, dynamic, have middles that can (in theory) at least get parity. But should be a superb contest
