Should be illegal to win an ODI by 107 runs after being 7-76. Hell of an innings from Beth Mooney. #CWC25

Big week for the NRL. Beats out the AFL in grand final ratings, and now the Steeden has replaced the Sherrin as the ball of choice in the Australian cricket team.

Hardly first athletes/artists to do it without being fined, I’m sure. Plenty of times it’s overlooked with discretion. Kevin Proctor was sacked for vaping in same sheds a few years ago. But that was at halftime of a Titans game. And he had phone when shouldn’t have

Bit of talk about Broncos and their cigars today, with Accor Stadium a no-smoking venue. Checked in with Venues NSW, no fines incoming for Broncos. More details of Broncos party and how Michael Maguire celebrated. With @GLR_Clarke on AAP

Michael Magiure sat in a corner for much of Brisbane's premiership celebrations, taking in the enormity of perhaps his greatest coaching feat..

Jarryd Hayne, Ben Barba and Jason Taumalolo all marched into grand finals as the most dangerous players in the NRL. And all were shut down by Melbourne. Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith explain how Storm will do job on Reece Walsh tonight. On AAP #NRL

Reece Walsh looms as the most dangerous man in the NRL grand final, but Ben Barba and Jarryd Hayne are proof Melbourne love to shut down stars on the big stage

I’d list this in the “less than ideal” category
Track failure between Lidcombe and Olympic Park. Guard just announced it could take a few hours to fix. You can’t make this up.

Incredible that Blayke Brailey has been Sharks player of the year twice for past two seasons, had easily best year of his career in 2025 but isn’t named Cronulla’s player of the year. AFB a mighty good signing mind you.

Cue the calls for a week between prelim final and grand final. Since the 11-day stand down we haven’t had a player miss a GF through concussion. Such a shame for Scott Sorensen. Going to be a big storyline if Penrith win today.

Incredible. A wonderful, wonderful advertisement for why the panicked Hail Mary kick after the siren is never the right play. Keep passing and then pass some more. Always half a chance a gap opens up when the defence scrambles.
Wide to Wright 🫣 One of the greatest tries you'll ever witness in #SuperLeague Play-Off history 😳 Take a bow, @Saints1890 👏
