Tips for the 2014 season

Find out just how wide of the mark The Thinker actually was in seasons past.

State of Origin - Game Two

We're back...and I'm going against the grain.

Round fourteen selections

Just the five games this round as the eastern states shore up armaments on the border in preparation for Origin War II.

Round thirteen selections

It's hump round in the NRL as we approach the mid-point of the 2014 season, and with one win separating second and tenth the premiership is as open as ever.

Round twelve selections

Hold your fire tipsters. Now, more than ever, you should keep your eye on the casualty ward before you leap to conclusions about the matches this weekend.

State of Origin - Game One

It's one of the truly great sporting rivalries on the planet - and its game number 100. To think most thought it wouldn't catch on.

Round eleven selections

Origin season is the great leveller. It's that magical time of year when the also-rans get a chance to compete with teams that are depleted by representative honours. So magical in fact, that even Canberra coach Ricky Stuart can pull a trick.

Round ten selections

Our Treasurer has made it clear we all have to contribute and do some heavy lifting for the sake of the nation. With that message ringing in my ears I promise you all that I will reduce my ramblings this round by at least 10 percent.

Round nine selections

With less rugby league last weekend it was great to see two of Australia's wealthiest and brightest laying into each other on the footpath. After years of rule changes and disciplinary action, we've finally taken the violence off the football field and put it back on the streets where it belongs.

The ANZAC Test Match

Tipsters get a chance to catch their breath while the best players in the NRL lace on the boots for a weekend of rep footy.

Round eight selections

Easily my favourite (regular) round of the year. Three ANZAC Day games, four day games and players within spitting distance of Origin selection start putting their hands up. Yay! Yay for football!
