The Sea Eagles and Broncos will clash in the second game of Magic Round weekend on Friday night with both sides looking to rebound after losses in Round 9. Manly’s loss to the Titans was a disappointing one given they were at fortress Brookvale and it won’t get any easier with their next trip north classed as a home game when they host the ladder leaders. The Broncos were comprehensively beaten by South Sydney with their second half efforts exposed in the past fortnight in a concern for Kevin Walters. Traditionally these two sides pile on the points against each…

Fullback Morea Morea, centres Benji Kot and Rodrick Tai and wingers Brandon…
Max and Mat Feagai haven’t shared an edge since their 2019 SG Ball premiership and four years later the twin brothers are set to stand side-by-side on the Dragons’ left side. Replacing regular centre Zac Lomax at No.4 for Sunday’s Magic Round clash is a huge task for Dragons junior Max but the 22-year-old will be in familiar territory when his brother Mat lines up right alongside him. Having been linked with the club since they were 13-years-old, Sunday’s Magic Round clash will mark a special occasion for the Feagai family as the two utility backs not only take the…

Despite the SP PNG Hunters claiming their first home win and second win of the season in Round 7 of the QRL Hostplus Cup after downing the Mackay Cutters 14-10, they are learning from their mistakes and vow to make improvements, especially their kicking game and preparations leading up to their matches.

The often maligned halfback produced two 40:20 kicks that led to tries, ran the ball 10 times for 69 metres and finished with a try assist and six line breaks as the Tigers claimed the Royce Simmons Cup in…
