Mo NAS turned out to be a big factor. Melbourne essentually down a middle rotation with a Vaalepu getting just 10 minutes. Very hard to combat that Penrith rotation in that context #NRLGrandFinal

No matter who you support, a clear try denied in a close grand final is just a disaster for the game. Hard to imagine how it happens #NRLGrandFinal

It should be an incredible nigh at the #Paris2024 pool. Kaylee McKeown is trying to become the first Australian in Olympic history to win four individual gold medals. And Cam McEvoy will be one of the great stories if he gets up in the 50m freestyle #AllezAus

Kyle Chalmers is a wonder. Wins his semifinal with a powerhouse late surge in 47.58 to make his third Olympic final. What a sprint freestyler he is and there's more to come in the final #Paris2024 #AllezAus

Being in the building to watch Leon Marchand win gold at his home Games was one of the most extraordinary moments in sport I've been lucky enough to witness. I doubt an Olympic pool has roared like that since Sydney #Paris2024

An incredible venue here at La Defense Arena. Brisbane has to go BIG for the swimming venue. Full stands here for the heat session, brilliant atmosphere #Paris2024

Swimming about to start at #Paris2024. An incredible meet ahead and three genuine gold medal chances on day one for Australia. Looking forward to bringing it all to life for the @AUSOlympicTeam

Immediately thinking that the final leg of the Brisbane 2032 torch relay should simply be members of the 1994 State of Origin team passing it to each other, in the correct order, culminating in Mark Coyne lighting the flame. It is eloquent, beautiful and profound #Paris2024

Well worth playing catch up on 9Now. Brilliant access to take fans where they’ve never been - a must for sports that at times struggles for mainstream coverage. Tears, vomits and great stories - the Rowsellas have it all. Well done @phillutton78, Sarah Cook & all involved. 💚💛

About to fly to Paris to cover swimming for the @AUSOlympicTeam, so the old account might shake off a bit of rust over the next few weeks. If you don't like tweets about AUSSIES RAINING GOLD, look away now #AllezAus #Paris2024

The first image of Brisbane’s planned Olympic stadium – the smallest since Amsterdam 1928 – can now be revealed. The photocopied image of the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre, obtained by the Brisbane Times through the Right to Information Act, shows a single permanent

Qld will get plenty of good middles back if some familiar faces are fit next year but the glaring issues is the edges. The NSW pair were electric all series... Capewell isn't the answer, Nanai undewhelming, apparently Fifita isn't up to scratch... who else is there? #origin

There will be generational change for Qld. Absolutely spot on to stick with DCE, Hunt, go back to the well with Gagai. But Maroons HQ should be thinking now about what 2025 looks like... some excellent options ready and waiting #Origin

I hope Slater is smart enough to reflect on some curious selections throughout the series and certainly tonight. You can go on forever about the Qld spirit but the Maroons couldn't score a try. In a decider. At home. That's a very rough stat #origin
