Canterbury looked far better than a bottom-of-the-ladder NRL side as they thrashed an apathetic St George Illawarra 28-6 at Stadium Australia. The Bulldogs rallied for just their second win of the season by exposing St George Illawarras severe defensive lapses as reports emerged the Dragons star five-eighth Corey Norman is not wanted beyond this season. The 30-year-old is off-contract at the end of the year and has been told by the club he wont be re-signed, joining Matt Dufty on a list of play...

Rising playmaker Jake Averillo produced the best game of his young NRL career to help end Canterburys five-match losing streak with a 28-6 upset win over St George Illawarra at Stadium Australia on Monday.

The interest from media has been as strong as the interest from rival cl...

Eels captain Clint Gutherson impressed on the Telstra Tracker leaderboard.

The first of the major bye rounds came and went with half the competition plus Origin players unavailable, with plenty of the remaining Fantasy guns also posting underwhelming scores.
