Photo: Panthers Media LAST Friday night we witnessed one of the most spine-tingling moments our great game has ever delivered. South Sydney’s modest flyer Alex Johnstone broke a 53-year record to produce a double, and in turn break Ken Irvine’s long standing most tries scored record of 212. That record has stood since 1973, the […]

AROUND mid December I got a call from a bloke named Ryan Alexander from Premium Sports Events in Melbourne. Ryan was calling to see if I’d like to replace Darryl Brohman as ‘tour host’ for 90 people for the NRL in Las Vegas.  Darryl had recently been diagnosed with cancer and had to obviously pull […]

NEXT Monday I make the trek (for the very first time) to Las Vegas for the opening round of the NRL. Yes I know, everyone I tell says the same thing to me, “I can’t believe you’ve never been to Vegas!” then straight after, “oh you’ll love it! It’s the best place on earth.” I […]

LAST Saturday, close to 300 people walked around Jamison Park for 20 km (9 and a half laps) to raise awareness and funds for the Heart Foundation in our inaugural “Walk for Tobes” charity walk.  My great mate Toby Hughes passed away last July from a sudden heart attack at 50 years of age, leaving […]

It feels like yesterday the Panthers, Sharks, Raiders, and Warriors opened the season with a bang in Las Vegas.  Now some eight months later, the international fixtures that have kept us entertained for the […]

Photo: Australian Kangaroos THE NRL season may have concluded almost a month ago, but the avalanche of rugby league continues with the latest international contests certainly prolonging a long off-season.  While the Aussie Kangaroos are off doing their thing in England against an underwhelming English team, the test matches back here have been emotional and […]

ALL good things must come to an end! This feels a tad surreal, writing my Grand Final column and not speaking of the mighty mountain men, the Penrith Panthers!  We as fans have had a blessed run, and I suppose must now come to terms with the fact that for the first time since 2020 […]
