The return of Latrell Mitchell may have sparked South Sydney s 60-22 NRL win over New Zealand Warriors but rival coach Nathan Brown warned it may have also provided inspiration for his livewire fullback Reece Walsh.
NSW X-factor Mitchell picked up where he left off from his impressive State of Origin campaign to comfortably outpoint opposite number Walsh in the Rabbitohs 11-try romp at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Saturday.
Back from a post-Origin break, Mitchell dominated to finish with one try and a try assist along with two line breaks and six tackle busts while running 194m in a display that ex-Queensland half Cooper Cronk described on Fox League as men playing against boys .
“I only met him for the first time at a luncheon last month when I was over in Sydney. But you only have to see what he’s done in the game to know he’s the right person for the job. “As I said right from the beginning, the biggest thing that needs to happen at the Bulldogs is getting stability around the board, and he’s a man with the influence to help get that done.”
Jason O Brien/Photosport Canterbury CEO Aaron Warburton told the
Herald on Monday he was keen for Hansen to extend his tenure at the club beyond October when his contract expires, and how “we can all benefit as an organisation from having him around as much as possible”.
Women’s legend predicts Roosters to defeat Broncos for first NRLW title Written by Tony Salerno on 18 July 2021
Women’s rugby league legend Tarsha Gale believes this is the year the Brisbane Broncos will be knocked off their NRLW perch.
The Broncos have won the first three NRLW premierships and lost only one game since the competition’s inception.
Gale believes the Sydney Roosters signing Jess Sergis will be the key to the Bondi club toppling Brisbane in the expanded competition.
“I think the Roosters will knock off the Broncos and Jess Sergis will have a lot to do with that decision,” Gale said.
Who else is playing for the team? Who is the coach? Where are you training?
Fortunately, when Parramatta made an approach to Kiwi Ferns international Nita Maynard to join their inaugural team, they had the right answers. One of the main reasons I am going to Parramatta is because a lot of my friends are playing there, Maynard said. I’ve played alongside Simaima Taufa for a couple of years now and my best friend Botille Vette-Welsh is also playing for Parramatta. The Eels have also signed a really strong pack with the likes of Kennedy Cherrington and Filomena Hanisi and as a dummy-half, you always want to play behind a good pack.
