'Dirty rotten Queenslanders' have got this nailed

May 27, 2024 | wwos.nine.com.au | Mark Levy

I'm dusting off the NSW Blues pom poms because the State of Origin series is just around the corner and your resident cheerleader is back, albeit without the tight leotard because those at the NSWRL couldn't find one big enough to fit me. Apologies to those who might be reading this while eating their breakfast. Dare I say it, the Blues coach Michael Maguire has picked a Queensland-like team of players on form and it's a squad that'll fight fire with fire on June 5 at Accor Stadium in Sydney.
Andrew Johns, Brad Fittler and Nine experts pick their winners

May 22, 2024 | wwos.nine.com.au | Ben Glover

Manly have beaten the Storm the last two times they've visited 4Pines Park and Brad Fittler has pointed to an even more unlikely statistic as his reason for backing the Sea Eagles to spring an upset on Friday night. Fittler did some digging on Melbourne's record at Brookvale Oval and it is one of the few places where Craig Bellamy hasn't got on top of the head-to-head.
Andrew Johns, Brad Fittler and Nine experts pick their winners

Andrew Johns predicted that "upwards of 60 or 70 points" could be scored in the Broncos' Magic Round clash with Manly, although those kinds of numbers may be out of reach after news that Reece Walsh will miss the game with a knee injury. The Broncos' injury crisis worsened on Thursday, claiming arguably the biggest box office attraction in the game one day out from Friday's marquee fixture.

Brad Fittler has picked the absence of workhorse Manly hooker Lachlan Croker and impact forward Nathan Brown to tip Thursday night's round 10 opener against the Sea Eagles, as they visit the Dolphins on a road trip that is becoming a huge challenge in 2024. Wayne Bennett's team is in the top four and flying, defying the expectations of most experts who expected them to still be a season or two from contending for finals positions.
Premiership rings in AFL and AFLW for flag-winning seasons, rings for coaches and staff, entire playing list recognised

May 7, 2024 | wwos.nine.com.au | Tom Morris

The AFL is considering proposals to introduce premiership rings for every footballer who plays a senior men's or women's game in a flag-winning season. And reigning premiers Collingwood are lobbying to be the first club presented with the ritzy piece of silverware from the league, worth more than $50,000 per item.
David Klemmer abuse at Kasey Badger in Wests Tigers v Canterbury Bulldogs, Mark Levy opinion

May 6, 2024 | wwos.nine.com.au | Mark Levy

I've seen and heard some disgraceful attacks on the NRL referees in my 17 years covering the game, but the pile on directed at Kasey Badger on Saturday afternoon was reprehensible. It started with the shocking behaviour and lack of respect shown by the players on the field and continued with the keyboard cowards on social media. I was embarrassed to be a rugby league fan over the weekend knowing there are so-called supporters who think vile and abusive comments are acceptable.

Immortal Andrew Johns has underlined the slipping premiership credentials of the Sydney Roosters after tipping them to get a smack when they visit Brisbane on Friday. Johns was bullish about the Roosters' prospects before the season started, predicting that they'd be one of the NRL's serious contenders and a lock for the top four.
AFL news 2024: List calls Richmond Tigers face after 2024 season to avoid slide into no man's land

Apr 30, 2024 | wwos.nine.com.au | Tom Morris

Richmond is bracing for an off-season trade and free agency period of considerable activity. If the Tigers get it right, they can buck a trend Hawthorn is still confronting following its dynasty. Richmond has won just one game in 2024 and already used 36 players, which equals the club's total number across the entire 2023 home and away season.
NRL news 2024 | Cronulla Sharks player Braydon Trindall drink driving offence, integrity unit probe and penalty | Mark Levy column

Apr 29, 2024 | wwos.nine.com.au | Mark Levy

The NRL is weighing up a suitable punishment to be imposed on Cronulla playmaker Braydon Trindall, but it's impossible to find a penalty that's consistent with some of the previous off-field indiscretions committed by players in the game. There is talk of a four or five week suspension which most would agree is fair, however when you compare that to the eight week ban imposed earlier this year on Spencer Leniu - who directed a racial slur at Ezra Mam - it raises the question; what's worse?
Carlton Blues executives travel to Ireland, attempt to recruit talent for academy

Apr 18, 2024 | wwos.nine.com.au | Tom Morris

Carlton is launching an unprecedented raid on Irish talent in a bid to get a jump on rival AFL clubs. 9News can reveal the club's boss Nick Austin, national recruiting manager Mick Agresta, plus footy director and Blues great Greg Williams will land in Dublin late on Thursday night. The trio will soon be joined by AFLW footy boss Ash Naulty and base themselves in Dublin, driving as north as Northern Ireland and as south as Kerry to scour Ireland for the best athletes the country has to offer.
