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


READ MORE

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.

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. Jofra Archer runs in to bowl  Get...

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...

Drones to become the new naval mine hunters under Morrison pledge

Image
READ MORE Advanced navies worldwide are increasingly turning to drones to do mine hunting and clearing work at sea. Marcus Hellyer, a former Defence Department official and now a senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said that using autonomous and unmanned sea vehicles allowed the crewed ship to stay at the edge of a minefield, keeping naval personnel safer. The Morrison government has promised if re-elected to fast-track the building of two new mine hunting naval ships. Credit: Nine Newspapers “Common sense has prevailed,” he said of the decision. “Rather than keeping going down the path where you have old technology being extended at great cost, this will introduce new technology more quickly and that’s a good thing. “The current path does keep the human at the centre of the minefield, but the new approach lets them stay outside the minefield and let autonomous vehicles go in and do the dangerous work.” Article source: https:/...
