Titans crash Farah's homecoming with convincing win over Tigers


READ MORE

Gold Coast Titans have spoiled Robbie Farah’s homecoming – and all but ended Wests Tigers’ hopes of reaching the NRL semi-finals – on a deflating afternoon for Ivan Cleary’s men at a sold-out Leichhardt Oval.


There was great anticipation in Sydney’s inner west about the return of premiership winner Farah after two years away from the joint venture, as well as the club debut of fullback Moses Mbye.

A crowd of 16,984 turned up on a glorious Sunday afternoon to mark the occasion but they left disappointed, many filing out well before full-time, as a mistake-prone Tigers produced an underwhelming performance.


The 18-point defeat, a fourth in a row, leaves them six points out of top eight with nine rounds remaining.


If that predicament was not troubling enough for their finals aspirations, there was concern over relative newcomer Josh Reynolds, who played out the game but appeared to be favouring a shoulder.

One Nation's Malcolm Roberts wants migration rate more than halved

READ MORE Australia’s yearly intake of skilled migrants and their families should be radically cut to just 70,000, according to One Nation’s top Senate candidate in Queensland. The current cap has been set at 190,000 since 2011, but the actual intake fell to its lowest level in a decade under the Coalition government  during the past financial year, with just 163,000 permanent arrivals. Mr Roberts will lead the One Nation ticket in the Senate in the party’s traditional stronghold state of Queensland at the next federal election, which is due to take place by May. He was ejected from parliament earlier in the year when the High Court found he held a dual citizenship, in breach of Section 44 of the Constitution. Party leader Pauline Hanson has a six-year term and her seat will not be in contested. One Nation is known for its anti-immigration policies, but will need to compete with rivals like Katter’s Australia Party, whose members have called for a public vote on a potential return to

Dwayne Leverock : Famous for his one-handed catch at the 2003 World Cup, the 130kg Bermudian would surely make just as big a splash on the rugby field.

Banned Bancroft's journey of self-discovery

Image
READ MORE © Getty Images Spanish lessons, yoga and a host of community work have all been part of the path taken by Cameron Bancroft since the Newlands ball-tampering scandal. The Australia batsman has been looking to seek the sort of perspective and self-knowledge that will prevent him from following the kind of instructions issued to him by David Warner in the Cape Town dressing room. Bancroft spoke in Perth on Saturday ahead of his return to cricket via Twenty20 and 50-over appearances in the Northern Territory, where he will also endeavour to work closely in developing local talent. It’s the next step on the path away from Newlands as Bancroft serves a nine-month ban from the game imposed by Cricket Australia under its code of conduct. Perspective on life was greatly needed as Bancroft, Warner and the former captain Steven Smith pondered what evolved in South Africa, and Bancroft said he had spent plenty of time devoting himself broadening his own knowledge and also to the servi
