Five and a Kick: Ricky's Raiders keep rolling as bumbling Tigers re-enter wooden spoon race with fifth straight loss

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

Canberra continued their march towards a minor premiership nobody saw coming while Wests Tigers could be heading for a trophy of the unwanted kind. The Raiders were too clinical in all facets of play against a haphazard opponent to hold on for a 16-12 win after the Tigers had acres of field position for almost the entire the second half.
NRL News: The challenge now facing Dearden after stellar Origin display, Bears boost coaching ranks

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

Billy Slater has declared it’s Tom Dearden’s time to own Queensland’s No.7 jersey, after the new Maroons’ halfback vindicated the call to move on from Daly Cherry-Evans. Slater’s selection bombshell to axe Cherry-Evans from the Maroons’ side after the 18-6 game-one loss at Suncorp Stadium was always going to be one the coach was judged on.
Daley declares he won’t make team changes for series decider but he needs to get smart with tactics

NSW coach Laurie Daley wants to stick with the players who failed to clinch the series in Perth when the Origin shield goes on the line in Sydney next month. Daley defiantly claimed that he was confident at half-time of Wednesday night’s Origin II loss at Optus Stadium even though his team was down by 20 at the time.
Dearden dazzles, Cleary fizzles as Maroons hold off late Blues comeback to breathe life into Origin series

Tom Dearden answered the call as Billy Slater’s bold decision to sack his skipper mid-series yielded immediate results with Queensland conquering NSW 26-24 at Perth’s Optus Stadium. The series is well and truly alive heading into the decider at Accor Stadium on July 9 with Dearden starring in Daly Cherry-Evans’ old No.7 jersey and new skipper Cameron Munster leading from the front with his best Origin display in years.
Maroons need to forget about spirit and start playing smart to bring down Blues juggernaut

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

For all the talk over many, many years, the famous Queensland Maroons spirit is something of a mirage. That’s not to say it doesn’t exist, but it’s all-conquering power is talked up when the Maroons win in State of Origin, when in actual fact, they have often overcome the odds by being smarter and more pragmatic than NSW.

Test Mortem: Aussies pay price for selectors’ lack of foresight, Proteas reinvigorate red-ball future and WTC final fixture tweak needed

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

You reap what you sow and Australia paid the price in the World Test Championship final for a lack of vision over the past couple of years. The top order has been their Achilles heel going back to the prolonged David Warner farewell tour and the ongoing reluctance to properly address the issue came back to bite them on Test cricket’s most important stage.
Five and a Kick: Haumole’s season could be over as injury adds insult to Manly’s woeful loss to Titans

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

Haumole Olakau’atu’s season could be over and so could Manly’s hopes of making a run at the title after a lacklustre 28-8 loss to the Titans on Friday night. Olakau’atu dislocated his shoulder as he tried to score a try which was later denied for a fumble – a sequence of play which summed up the Sea Eagles’ night at Cbus Super Stadium. Last-placed Gold Coast notched just their fourth win of the year while the Sea Eagles could finish as low as 12th after suffering their eighth loss from 14 starts.
Five and a Kick: Sharks hang on by the skin of their gummy teeth to edge out Dragons but no one should be impressed

Rarely has a comeback victory from 12 points down been less convincing. Cronulla stormed back from an 18-6 deficit to swamp St George Illawarra at Shark Park on Thursday night. But if they think this 30-18 result gets them back on track for a premiership tilt they’re kidding themselves.
Now or never situation looms for Sharks as ‘nearly’ team’s premiership hopes start to sink

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

The shark alarm is ringing at Cronulla with the danger on the horizon that they look like being one of those teams that was very good for a few years, but not quite good enough to go all the way. This season, and perhaps next year, represent the Sharks’ best chances of adding a second premiership to the club’s dusty trophy cabinet. The nucleus of this team is in the prime of their career and that doesn’t last forever.
