LOVE IS LOVE: Toby Rudolf on an NRL Pride Round and his sexuality
‘I’ve kissed gay men … I’m not a one-stop shop.’
If we all had Toby’s outlook on love and sexuality, the world would be a beautiful place❤️🌈🦈
Few
@SSFCRABBITOHS
fans booing Adam Reynolds while waiting to kick conversion.
‘I thought they loved me,’ he quipped to ref Grant Atkins, who responded: ‘They definitely don’t love me.’
Little master thoroughly enjoying himself tonight👑👑👑
Lost wallet at beach in Adelaide, then guy hits me up on Insta and says he found it. What a legend. Was riding along esplanade and fell over when couldn’t unclip pedal. Refused to take $$$ or beer. Only wanted me to cheer

HAPPY COWS: Had a beer at Cowboys Leagues Club last night and every single
@nthqldcowboys
player and coach were in public area mingling with families and fans. Nobody was being a pest. Pretty cool to see …
RIP GREENY: Some people have broken down on phone speaking about Paul Green today. Even sadder knowing he was so young and a family man
Johnathan Thurston shattered. Flew down for Penrith game, but Nine have put him on first flight back to Townsville😢
Just spoke with Adrian Lam. He cried when Lachie told him he would debut for his beloved
@sydneyroosters
. He even had to stop our chat several times to compose himself. What a great family moment and story ...
BREAKING: Zane Musgrove has knocked back serious, serious dough from rivals, including
@NRL_Dragons
, to re-commit to
@WestsTigers
for THREE years. Has mongrel Madge loves ...
NICE TOUCH:
@sydneyroosters
. have made sure all members of 2002 GF squad are represented tomorrow, including the late Chad Robinson whose sister Monique will be at SCG. Chad was 18th man🐓🐓🐓
Told Latrell Mitchell addressed up to 200 kids involved with Souths Cares via Zoom today.
Theme was ‘resilience’.
Was booked in to talk weeks ago. And he did not disappoint
MORE CARRIGAN: Pat Carrigan initially reluctant to use actual swear words. Says the ‘C word’ and ‘F word’. Nick Ghabar then says: ‘It’s OK to say the full word — nobody will be offended’. Patty boy off and running now
BREAKING: NRL and refs boss ‘extremely unhappy about a number of decisions’ out of last night’s
@sydneyroosters
game. Those in bunker already punted from tonight’s action ...
GOOSEBUMPS:
@SSFCRABBITOHS
just played audio of the late John Sattler singing team song on big screen inside stadium after full-time. Fantastic scenes. Could have heard pin drop🐇🐇
If I didn’t have to cover this game off TV for work, I’d turn it off and go and get drunk by myself in the garage. I might still.
@WestsTigers
are soooo bad
Nearly everyone who watched the first
@WestsTigers
doco only had two questions for me today ...
Why does Justin Pascoe dress like he’s in his twenties?
And is Justin Pascoe’s hair real?
BA OUTLOOK:
@TheParraEels
coach told his agent Chris Orr: ‘Had you told me I’d coach 264 games for Parramatta, reach a grand final, and watch my son debut, then get sacked, I’d do it all again – I’d sign up for it all again tomorrow’
Bought coffee in Concord. Only had card. Cafe cash only. They insisted I take coffee for free. Then dude offered to buy it for me. Only on
@WestsTigers
turf ...
Rough night for
@WestsTigers
continuing after full-time. Now lost all lighting in sheds. Listening to Warriors sing team song next door in darkness ...
BAD CALL: Murray Taulagi was a shoulder charge on Josh Feledy* every day of week. Instead of penalty and
@WestsTigers
going on attack, 20-16 becomes 32-16 (and counting)🤦♂️🐅
INDESCRIBABLE: Young ball girl embraced by
@SSFCRABBITOHS
star Latrell Mitchell after sideline conversion opens up on abuse directed at her and ‘Uncle Trell’. Bloody ordinary🤦♂️🐇
CLEARY OFF:
@TheParraEels
absolutely gave it to Nathan Cleary when sent off. Ugly tackle. He knew it.
FYI: A grade-two dangerous throw is a two-match ban; a grade-three throw is FOUR matches🐾🐾😬😬
NO TRADE:
@WestsTigers
chief told me
@storm
asked one last time today about getting Daine Laurie AND Adam Doueihi for final six weeks of season
‘Both boys too important to this club,’ JP said🐅🐅
SACKED:
@WestsTigers
‘part ways’ with Madge. Sad. Shame. They’re not improving. Players needed rev-up, discipline, and coach known for that. Few then have a sook Madge too hard, so club (eventually) show him door. Go figure🤷♂️🤷♂️🐅🐅
Huge roar in
@PenrithPanthers
sheds when Ivan Cleary declared after game his deputy Cameron Ciraldo was staying put. No move to acronulla. Then Ciro drained a schooner ...
ICYMI: Stumped about Isaiah Papali’i’s plans for 2023?
Ummm, this quote from yesterday was pretty obvious: ‘They [
@WestsTigers
] signed on Benji, Robbie and Tim, I’m sure they understand what’s best for [the club], and I look forward to working with them.’🤷♂️🤷♂️🐅🐅
NRL pulling out all stops trying to convince
@NZWarriors
to stay put so comp can go ahead. Should offer to fly families over and put them up for a month or so. Not worst idea ...
Embarrassing Adam Elliott video is even news. Clickbait. Five years ago. Hope it doesn’t ruin his mood. Spoke at start of week and he was so pumped to see partner and son for first time in six weeks ...
The more I think about it, the more I think
@WestsTigers
should make play for Tariq Sims
Give him two years. Plays tough, natural leader, good family man. Just the kind of bloke Madge would love🐅🐅
Some gold from
@NRL_Dragons
face James Graham after his 400th: "I was a bit nervous last night, I was struggling to get to sleep, so I read Jeremy Latimore's retirement post and I was out like a light. Thank you for that, Jeremy.’’
FRED FRESH: Non-drinker Brad Fittler drove one of the team buses back to airport. Too many sore heads. Once beer ran out, few
@NSWBlues
got stuck into KAVA
HAPPY HUNTING: Here’s an idea. Why don’t
@brisbanebroncos
cut Payne Haas loose and use cash to lure Ben Hunt home to play along side Adam Reynolds. Reckon it could work …
HAPPY JACKSON: All Jackson Hastings needed was a bit of love. And the right environment. And he’s now found that at
@NRLKnights
Can only imagine
@WestsTigers
would be further up ladder had Jacko stayed
Talk about an extraordinary amount of time and effort making this NRL off-season deal happen for
@WestsTigers
. Look forward to eventually seeing this bloke🐯🇵🇬
PLANE DOWN: Remember $50k
@PenrithPanthers
spent on private charter to get players home straight after
@nthqldcowboys
game?
Well, s—tty weather meant they couldn’t take off and had to spend night in Townsville🐾😂🛩
NO ROOOGBY: Matt Burton has NO interest in rugby switch. Told me ‘there’s been nothing there, it’s all talk’.
Also said Cameron Ciraldo decision would NOT impact on his own next move. Get impression he’s happy at
@NRL_Bulldogs
BROOKS INCIDENT: NRL just confirmed
@WestsTigers
should have received penalty for Luke Brooks being shoved in back when Jamal Fogarty scored second try🐅🐅
ORDINARY: Awful stuff if it turns out so-called fan was ejected for racially abusing Latrell Mitchell. Nobody does more to inspire Indigenous kids. Conducted post-match interviews then on condition nobody asked about THAT incident
Adam Doueihi’s popularity has surged since the
@WestsTigers
doco.
He loves the club and now spoken about his hopes to one day captain the joint
Would be nice if it was tomorrow night with James Tamou OUT
CLEARY CORRECTION: This would be Nathan Cleary’s SECOND offence. Dangerous contact on Billy Walters earlier this year.
Therefore, (assuming) charged with a grade-two dangerous throw, that’s a three-match ban; a grade-three throw is FIVE matches🐾🐾
KING BENJI: Watching
@WestsTigers
train. Benji steering opposition side around, while chewing gum. Amazing how good he is at 38. Sad reality is he’d still be club’s best halves option🐅🐅
At
@SSFCRABBITOHS
training and today noticed Braidon Burns given huge round of applause. Bloke had a shocking run with injuries. Trained with main side at left centre. No idea if he plays Thursday ...
If Ronaldo Mulitalo is ineligible, it’s an embarrassment for
@QLDmaroons
AND the NRL. How can a multi-million dollar sport not know or enforce their own rules. Plus, as a Blues fan, I would have preferred Mulitalo over Xavier Coates on a wing
