Matt Burton has revealed how playing centre for Penrith this year can turn him into an even more dangerous playmaker going forward.

Penrith are resigned to losing rising star Brent Naden as the latest Panther targeted for Trent Barretts Belmore rebuild. NRL.com understands a two-year deal for Naden to link once more with Barrett at Canterbury is close to being signed off, though neither the Panthers or Bulldogs have made any official comment on the 25-year-olds future. Naden has fallen down the back-line pecking order at Penrith but remained a retention target as the Bulldogs and Wests Tigers both pursued him this season. S...

Thursday 29 April, GIO Stadium, 7:50pm Raiders: Come into the game off a five-day turnaround after a loss to Cowboys on Saturday night. Joseph Tapine and Isosia Soliola are both options to come back into 17 after both were dropped last week. Jarrod Crokers position in the team could come into question with his form down but he also appeared to re-injure the shoulder he had off season surgery on and could be in some doubt. Bailey Simonsson should return from concussion on the right wing which co...

NRL head of football Graham Annesley has issued a message to the entire audience - from players, coaches, fans and the media - to reset their opinions around head and neck contact in the game.  Annesley spoke at his weekly media briefing for more than an hour on Monday afternoon, defending the latest criticism around the NRLs judiciary system and delivering figures that indicate charges and suspensions for head/neck contact were on the rise. A further four players were charged by the match rev...

Theres nothing like a win to revitalise a football side and the Knights will be drawing from that well a lot this week as they prepare for a showdown with the unbeaten Panthers. As long as Kalyn Pongas stomach feels better the Knights have an excellent chance to rattle the Panthers cage. Ponga - despite a gastro illness - ran for 172 metres, scored two tries, set up two other tries, made two line breaks and eight tackle busts in last weeks win over Cronulla. Imagine what he can do fully fit. Wh...

This weeks big questions Tom Turbo seems like a bargain at $500k. Swap Latrell for him now hes out for 4 weeks? From Jarrod John Harry Yep, it looks a good move. Tom Trbojevic clearly has a horror injury record but that discounted price and his ability to produce quality scores like he did on the weekend was the reason he was one of the most-owned players in Fantasy during the pre-season. Even if Turbo cant quite match the very top WFBs in terms of scoring he can go close to earning $150k in pr...

Dylan Edwards (hand) and Api Koroisau (wrist) will return against the Knights but the pair wont be risked if they arent ready. Edwards slotting in at fullback would solve a headache for Cleary, who could then move Stephen Crichton back to the centres to replace Paul Momirovski after he was suspended by the judiciary on Tuesday night. Titans winger Phil Sami (concussion) has been named on an extended bench to face the Rabbitohs and is a chance of playing. Former Storm star Will Chambers has...

FShareTTweetQSMSWWhatsAppBEmailGJTumblrLLinkedIn4 hours ago The 23-year-old failed in his bid to have a grade-two dangerous contact charge downgraded, and will now be sidelined for the next month. Mitchells absence is a huge loss for Souths, who will play both Canberra and Melbourne in his absence, while it also puts an end to his chances of winning the Dally M award and hurts his hopes of a return to the NSW side for State of Origin. Latrell in hot water for high shot "If Latrell Mitchell dese...

FShareTTweetQSMSWWhatsAppBEmailGJTumblrLLinkedIn3 hours ago Rugby league great Phil Gould says its time to "blow up" the NRLs judiciary system following a round that saw a number of stars hit with lengthy suspensions. Mitchell couldve accepted an early guilty plea of three weeks, but opted to challenge his grade-two dangerous contact charge, in which he received a lengthier ban for coming out unsuccessful. Speaking on the suspension handed down to the Rabbitohs star, Gould said the entire incid...
