Five and a Kick: Jeers turn to cheers as Knights rise from the dead to stun Sea Eagles with colossal comeback

2 days ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

Booed off at half-time, Newcastle rose from the dead to register one of the most remarkable wins in club history over Manly on Thursday night at McDonald Jones Stadium. Frustrated Knights fans booed their team off at half-time after conceding 16 unanswered points in another uninspiring performance from a club famous for its work ethic.
Vautin’s Origin miracle still as unbelievable now as it was 30 years ago when his 'Neville Nobodies' did the impossible

2 days ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

Thirty years on from Paul Vautin leading Queensland to arguably the greatest rugby league upset in history, it is still incomprehensible how they managed to pull off their famous State of Origin series whitewash. Billy Slater’s current squad could do with whatever magic Fatty stumbled upon from the ether to conjure up a 3-0 victory over a significantly stronger NSW line-up.
Buck stops with the coach: Seibold disaster deja vu for Broncos with Maguire hire blowing up in their faces

4 days ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

Twelve games into Michael Maguire’s much-hyped mission to turn the NRL’s biggest club around, the Broncos may just have another Anthony Seibold situation on their hands. Maguire’s first season at the helm in Brisbane is in danger of sinking without a trace after they have lost six of their past seven matches. His 5-7 record is the same as Seibold’s debut year in 2019 when they stammered, stuttered and spluttered their way to finishing eighth.
NRL News: The costly problem Marky Mark needs to eradicate, Panthers bullish about rising from last to finals

5 days ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

Trent Robinson is happy to wear the bruises of Mark Nawaqanitawase’s topsy turvy rugby league initiation as he backed the former Wallabies winger to become a “dominant player” in the NRL. In his first full season in the 13-man game, Nawaqanitawase has shown all the highlight reel attacking brilliance which has led to speculation Rugby Australia will attempt to lure the 24-year-old back ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
NRL Power Rankings: Round 13 - Title race wide open with lingering doubts over all serious contenders

6 days ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

Even though there is a clear top four in the NRL, it is in fact a wide open competition, much more so than the past four or five years when the Storm and Panthers dominated. Melbourne are again legit title contenders, even though the Bulldogs and Warriors are above them on the ladder and the Raiders have a better record even though Melbourne are technically ahead of them due to the two byes they’ve already pocketed.
Five and a Kick: Dearden and DCE duke it out for Maroons spot, Nanai gets feather touch for crusher, Des fumes over no-try

6 days ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

1464 Reads Tom Dearden delivered a five-star display which could be enough to get him the Queensland No.7 jersey but it was just enough to get the Cowboys home against Wests Tigers on Saturday night. Dearden scored a try and was in everything as North Queensland nearly blew a 32-6 lead as they repelled a late four-try blitz by the Tigers to hang on 32-38.
'Jumbled up': Storm still yet to hit top gear but rise into second spot by toppling Titans

1 week ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

It’s a testament to the high expectations of Melbourne that they are running second with easily the best for and against record in the NRL and they still haven’t hit their straps. Star fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen admitted as much on Saturday after they motored to a 28-16 triumph over the Gold Coast at Cbus Super Stadium. “We’ve got a few gears and it’s trying to identify which one we want to be associated with,” he told Fox League.
Five and a Kick: Tongan tornado tears through Newcastle as rookie Dragon behemoth runs amok

1 week ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

Forget about how to train a Dragon, how do you tame one the size of Loko Pasifiki Tonga? The 20-year-old behemoth was too much for Newcastle to handle at Kogarah on Friday night with the rookie prop announcing himself in destructive style on the NRL stage in the 20-6 triumph. Tonga scored a try and proved near on impossible for the Knights to get to ground on occasions as their season sank further into the abyss.
Let's go crazy: Slater needs to roll the dice on high-risk, high-reward selections to bring down Blues juggernaut

1 week ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

In the words of that distinguished philosopher of the 1990s named Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel, the Queenslanders are never going to survive unless they get a little bit crazy. Maroons coach Billy Slater will more than likely rehash the old line about Queensland spirit and their famous pick and stick mantra following their 18-6 defeat to NSW in the State of Origin series opener. But blind loyalty would be a major mistake.
Daley delight for new halves duo as methodical bluesprint brings success in Origin return

1 week ago | theroar.com.au | Paul Suttor

There was nothing complicated about Laurie Daley as a player, he was all talent and natural instinct. It can be hard for all-time greats to translate that success into the coaching arena because what came naturally to them is not always the case with the players they are trying to teach.
