Queensland captain Daly Cherry-Evans has backed his team’s rejigged spine to get the job done as the Maroons aim to claim their first clean sweep since 2010. Harry Grant – who has started at hooker previously once before in Game One, 2021 – is set to start for Wednesday night’s match, with Ben Hunt coming off the bench, while AJ Brimson comes in at fullback for the suspended Reece Walsh. Cherry-Evans said the plan behind starting Grant to start was a look to the future to give him more experience. “We know how crafty he is,” Cherry-Evans said of Grant.…

A penalty goal in golden point to Jamayne Isaako has helped the Dolphins secure their eighth win of the season following a 23-21 victory over the Titans at Cbus Super Stadium on Sunday. Titans forward Erin Clark was ruled offside in attempting to charge down Isaako’s field goal attempt in the 85th minute with referee Grant Atkins not hesitating to give the Dolphins a penalty from in front of the posts to break the deadlock. It was somewhat of an anti-climactic finish to the match after both sides couldn’t be separated for 80 minutes after field goals to Isaako and…
Mid-week signing Toby Sexton made an instant impact for his new club on Saturday night, helping the Bulldogs survive a late scare from the Rabbitohs to record a 36-32 win. After joining from the Titans on Tuesday, Sexton sparked a Bulldogs attack which in the 16 games prior had averaged just 15.8 points scored per game, making two line breaks and running for 123 metres, in addition to saving a likely try with a desperate kick retrieval in the final minute. Perhaps more importantly though, his presence and direct style of play appeared to free up star half Matt Burton,…
“In this day and age, family planning is the way forward to control many health and socio-economic issues.” That’s from the Gordons Clinic Family Planning Nursing Officer Sister (Sr) Edna Ratu. She said, “It’s good for couples to plan their pregnancies because in today’s time, couples who tend to have a lot of children are not as financially secured as planned pregnancies spaced two or more year’s apart result in healthier babies and fewer medical problems for the woman.” “Unlike other family planning methods, the family planning injection known as Depo Provera is commonly taken at the Gordons Clinic.” Sr…
NSW players have been urged to approach Origin III like a grand final as they set out to spoil Queensland’s celebrations when they receive the Shield at Wednesday night’s post-match presentation. The Blues may have lost the series, but coach Brad Fittler insists his players will not lack for motivation to stop a 3-0 clean-sweep by the Maroons as they still have the honour of representing NSW before their home fans at Accor Stadium. “Not everyone gets to do that,” Fittler said. “I think we are up to 310 players in the history of State of Origin, so we’re talking…

Jacob Alick is set to make his debut as Titan #186 in this Sunday’s history-making clash against the Dolphins at Cbus Super Stadium. In the Gold Coast’s first-ever home contest against the NRL’s newest franchise, the Papua New Guinea International has been named on the bench – one of four changes made by interim coach Jim Lenihan to replace the Maroons quartet who are on Origin duty this weekend.
