More than a few New South Walers want to know why Greg Inglis, born in Blues territory, chose to play for the Maroons, where he has run roughshod over NSW defences. That has been the case for over 10 years, more so for the Maroons’ dominance in the State of Origin series that has seem…

Nick Kyrgios grabs all the headlines, but an Aussie player his senior by just a couple of years is also falling on some hard times. That player is Bernard Tomic, who is having a bad season, if you will pardon the understatement. He crashed out in the first round of the U.S. Open at FlushingMeadow,…

In some quarters, it would not be unreasonable to assume that the Melbourne Storm would like to commemorate their 20th season of play in the NRL with a premiership.

Not content with the head of Neil Henry on a silver platter in his rec room, Jarryd Hayne engaged in an attack on Henry that could be viewed as nothing other than stunning. Hayne says that Henry was leading stories to the media rather than dealing with Hayne mano a mano. The bitter public feud…

Picture yourself motoring down the Kings Highway between Canberra and Batemans’ Bay; minding your own business and the speed limit, when suddenly, one of your tyres simply disintegrates. Now, imagine that happening when you are traveling at top speed, alongside competitors doing everything in their power to pass you or prevent you from passing them,…
