Tonight it seems like the entire NRL world has forgotten about Robbie Farah and is now talking about Paul Gallen. If you haven’t read the story I encourage you to go elsewhere because I’m not interested in sharing it. And here’s why. For every story about a player behaving in a poor way, there are […]

Last week I wrote a story about how proud I was of Jarryd Hayne following his pre-season hit out for the San Francisco 49’ers against the Houston Texans (you can read that story here). Can you imagine how I am feeling today after his second game which was yesterday? Excited is an understatement and I […]

On Thursday night I was on cloud 9. I was privileged enough to be at an event where the special guests were none other than Dave Smith (CEO of the NRL), Suzanne Young (COO of the NRL), Raelene Castle (CEO of the Canterbury Bulldogs) and Marina Go (Chairperson of the board of the Wests Tigers). […]

As I watched my then 4 year old son run towards the tackle bag I felt a surge of pride, even as he stopped short […]

Sometimes here at Ladies who League, I make a mistake. I’m only human and am as guilty as the next person at passing judgement and then holding a grudge. Player behaviour is something which I am extremely passionate about. It disappoints me that the actions of a small minority often tarnish the sport that I […]

The phrase ‘darkest day in Australian sport’ is one which is used more often than it should be. In the past it has been used in relation to allegations that Australia’s top sporting codes were rife with increasing use of performance enhancing drugs.
