'I just can't wait': Fifita clone Haas ready to make his own destiny

NSW team manager Peter Parr hasn’t missed a single Cowboys game since starting with North Queensland way back in 2002. That was until Sunday anyway. The Cowboys general manager of football has held various roles with the club over almost two decades and has attended every match they’ve played in that time. But having been added to Brad Fitler’s support staff last year, Parr has had the incredible run broken in 2019. He was at NSW training at Sydney Olympic Park on Sunday afternoon. The session wrapped up just 30 minutes before the Cowboys played the Titans on the Gold Coast.


Jack’s got teammate’s back


NSW utility Jack Wighton made a lightning trip back to Canberra to catch up with family as the Blues broke camp over the weekend – and he was happy to go into bat for clubmate Hudson Young on his return. While oblivious to the footage of Young’s tussle with Bulldogs forward Aiden Tolman, Wighton was more than happy to stick up for the young forward’s character. Young faces a seven-game ban if he fights an alleged eye gouge charge at the judiciary and loses. He can take five games with an early plea. “He’s a great kid,” Wighton said. “He plays tough and he plays fair. He rips in, the young fella. I haven’t seen the footage but I can say he’s a great kid.”


Coming down hard on head knocks


Given the spotlight has firmly been on concussion this week, Six Again has learned of an interesting development in the NRL’s no-nonsense approach to head knocks. It’s understood one NRL club copped a massive five-figure fine its their handling of an incident during a game earlier this season. Fortunately for the club involved, the fine was suspended pending any further breaches. The NRL’s policy is, if warranted, to take action against clubs behind closed doors for flouting concussion protocols after originally issuing breach notices to the Titans, Dragons and Knights worth $350,000 amid a wave of publicity at the start of the 2017 season. Roosters half Luke Keary was ruled out of Blues contention after a heavy concussion last week and Tyson Frizell has very much been on restricted duties during camp this week. The series opener at Suncorp Stadium is the first time the NRL will use the external brain bunker to monitor head knocks.
