    I’m no stranger to Tiger bashing but this notion that the Tigers players have been disgraceful is off the mark. As an Arab myself, I found it hilarious. Most Dogs fans would see the funny side of it, even if they are shitty.

    Canberra wanted a Sunday final in week one to avoid a six day turnaround and the NRL rightfully obliged. The challenge now after that absolute epic of a game is that they’ll now have a six day turnaround into a do-or-die game against Cronulla after nearly 95 minutes of footy.

    UPDATE Andrew Fifita is in ICU and has been placed in an induced coma. He is stable. Hopefully time to rest will reduce the severe swelling to allow him to breathe properly. Surgery expected to follow. Thoughts with Andrew and his family.🙏 smh.com.au/sport/nrl/top-…

    Credit to Jarome Luai. Fronted up and answered questions in the tunnel after a disappointing night, losing the game and his Origin jumper. Acknowledged his form isn’t up to the level he expects of himself and vowed to improve.

    So sad to hear the passing of Payne Haas’ brother, Chace. Spent the day with Chace and his family in Queensland before Payne’s Origin debut last year producing this story for @NRLcom. Never met anyone so proud of his little brother. Thoughts with the Haas family 🙏
    SPECIAL FEATURE: THE PAYNE HAAS STORY The unbreakable bond with his brother. His battles with alcohol and drugs and how the pressure of being the next big thing almost ruined him. "I’d sit in that chair for the rest of my life to see him walk" 🎥+📰 nrl.com/news/2019/06/0…
