    ‘Maybe they’re protesting’: Bizarre NRL kick-off trial sparks debate as ‘flaw’ already found

    The NRL’s experimental kick-off rule has already sparked plenty of debate after being tested for the first time in the clash between the Broncos and Melbourne Storm.

    Under the proposed change, the team conceding a try would get the choice of whether to receive the kick-off or kick it themselves.

    As Luke Keary pointed out, there aren’t many situations where a team would actually choose to kick-off.

    Freddy casts doubt on Storm, Broncos promise ahead of rule trial

    League legend Brad Fittler has cast doubt on Melbourne and Brisbane’s claims that the captain, and not coach, will decide whether to kick off or receive as the NRL trials a rule change on Thursday night.

    The Storm and Broncos will be guinea pigs as the league trials a new rule which allows the team that concedes a try to decide whether they kick off, or receive the kick-off.

    The captain of the conceding team will have to inform the referee of their decision and both Melbourne and Brisbane plan to leave it in their hands, and not be influenced by the coaching staff.

    Cody Walker’s son signs long Rabbitohs deal

    Cody Walker's son, Kian, has signed a long-term deal with the South Sydney Rabbitohs to play Harold Matthews for the foundation club.

    Despite his old-man not having a contract beyond this year, CODE Sports is revealing Kian has signed a multi-year deal to continue his trajectory into an NRL star after impressing in the lower grades.

    It is understood the young Indigenous star will compete for the Matts' fullback jersey for Souths, while joining John Morris' son, Cruz, in the lineup.

    Cody's future at South Sydney remains uncertain, with the 36-year-old still unsigned for 2027.

    Teammates Jack Wighton and Campbell Graham were full of praise for Walker's skill, leadership and ability and called for his extension to see him go round one more year.

    Josh McGuire: Former NRL star to face trial on child assault charges

    McGuire, who is on bail, is charged with choking, suffocation or strangulation against a child as well as common assault against a child on November 21 at a Brisbane residence.

    Magistrate Belinda Merrin said the charges alleged an “extremely serious assault” that left marks on the child.

    Crown prosecutor Mitchell Whelan submitted 13 witness statements and called one witness.

    Former Queensland State of Origin player Joshua McGuire has been committed to stand trial accused of seriously assaulting a child.

    He was charged in December last year with one count each of common assault and strangulation.

    Mr McGuire, who is on bail, applied to have some of his conditions varied but the judge rejected part of this application.

    Josh McGuire, NRL star, to stand trial on ‘extremely serious’ child choking allegations

    A former NRL star accused of strangling and assaulting a child has been committed to stand trial, with a magistrate describing the allegations as “extremely serious”.

    Joshua McGuire, a former Queensland Maroons star who has played for several Queensland and NSW rugby league clubs, was charged in December over the alleged strangulation of a five-year-old.

    Supporters packed a Brisbane courtroom on Thursday, with McGuire staring straight ahead for most of the committal hearing.

    The mother of the child, a witness to the alleged incident late last year, told the court that after it happened, she saw the child upset.

    McGuire’s barrister Kim Bryson cross-examined the woman, asking about conversations she had had with people close to her after the alleged assault. She said she could not recall.

    Reynolds dodges farewell question amid mystery Broncos absence

    Adam Reynolds has offered a bizarre response to questions over whether he will be afforded a farewell game in the NRL before retiring.

    The veteran Broncos halfback will hang up his boots at season’s end, but may have already played his last game.

    Reynolds was knocked out against the Knights in round 22 and missed the weekend’s loss to the Dolphins, but was able to return for this week’s game against the Warriors.

    But his name was absent when Michael Maguire released his team sheet on Tuesday.

    Brisbane are still hoping captain Adam Reynolds can have a Suncorp Stadium farewell after scans revealed he suffered a grade-one calf injury at training on Wednesday.

    The 36-year-old halfback is looking at missing one to three weeks, but the Broncos are hoping he will recover in time for the round 26 home clash against Melbourne in a fortnight. 

    Reynolds had previously injured his left calf, but on this occasion he sustained what the club said was a soleus strain on his right calf after stretching out on Wednesday.

    NRL’s top referee surfaces trackside despite $400k gambling controversy

    The NRL’s top referee Ashley Klein has continued to officiate the code’s biggest games, despite having had a gambling problem that has cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    But now it would seem that not even the backlash to revelations of Klein’s $400,000 gambling losses has been enough to keep him away from the track.

    On Saturday, Klein went along to Royal Randwick Racecourse for what the Australian Turf Club branded “Missile Stakes Day”, the first day on the NSW racing calendar. Klein was accompanied trackside by his partner, Elly Howse, CBD hears, but was not seen placing any bets.

    Why Ricky Stuart had every right to publicly blast Corey Horsburgh

    Ricky Stuart was well within his rights to give Corey Horsburgh both barrels at Sunday’s press conference.

    Forget the nonsense about the Canberra coach “gaslighting” his forward – who had been sin-binned for striking Dane Gagai in the closing stages of Canberra’s 30-24 loss to Newcastle, which ended their slim finals hopes – as claimed by Corey Parker on SEN radio. Forget the rubbish about how Stuart should have kept his thoughts to himself, or that any reprimand should have taken place behind closed doors.

    For what it’s worth, Stuart did blast Horsburgh in the sheds straight after full-time. Horsburgh did not appreciate it, and hit back.

    NRL clubs split on playing Alameddine brothers over gang war concerns

    The Bulldogs allow one of their development players to continue his football dream despite his brother being benched by the Parramatta Eels over concerns about gangland violence.

    Zain Alameddine ran out this weekend for the Bulldogs just days after reports his brother, Mohamed, had been sidelined by the Eels over safety concerns.

    It comes after an assassination plot targeting a relative at a suburban rugby league game earlier this year was foiled. 

    Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs is allowing a promising young player in its ranks to continue playing despite his brother being benched over concerns for his safety due to familial links to Sydney's Alameddine crime family.

    Bulldogs, Eels take contrasting stance amid gangland safety concerns

    The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and Parramatta Eels have taken differing approaches after safety concerns arose involving players with family connections to people publicly linked to an alleged gangland conflict in Sydney.

    While the Eels have stood down NSW Cup winger Mohamed Alameddine indefinitely due to safety concerns, his brother Zain Alameddine was able to take the field for the Bulldogs' Ron Massey Cup side this weekend.

    Neither Mohamed nor Zain Alameddine is accused of any wrongdoing, and there are no allegations linking either of them to organised crime.

    Late last month, it was revealed that Mohamed Alameddine was stood down due to safety concerns relating to members of his extended family. Police have alleged members of the Alameddine organised crime network have been involved in a conflict with the rival 'Coconut Cartel' since the beginning of the year.

    Broncos v Knights: Mariner's new role; Ponga back on deck

    The Broncos are desperate to keep their slim top-eight hopes alive when they host a Knights side reeling from a pair of devastating injuries. 

    After falling to North Queensland last Saturday, Brisbane likely need to win their last six matches to sneak into the eight and keep their premiership defence alive. 

    The Broncos certainly have the talent to pull up such a streak, with Reece Walsh, Ezra Mam and Payne Haas among the most impactful attacking players in the game. 

    Saturday's showdown at Suncorp Stadium provides a chance to secure two crucial competition points against a Newcastle team desperate to emerge from a challenge period.

    Red V reality check as Titans rain on Gutherson’s 250th parade

    It was the Spoonbowl that really wasn’t. And despite finally locking in a long-term coach with a batch of promising local juniors to build around, the Dragons have copped the reality check they didn’t really need.

    The Gold Coast’s 38-18 win on Sunday afternoon all but confirms the inevitable. St George Illawarra are eight points adrift of the 16th-placed Wests Tigers with seven games left in their season. Space will have to be made in the trophy cabinet for the first wooden spoon in the joint-venture’s history.

    The Titans entered the match sitting second last on the NRL ladder. However, with both teams showing better form than typical cellar dwellers – and the visitors well clear of the bottom – this contest never truly felt like a Spoonbowl.

    NRL 2026: Benji Marshall has total control at the Tigers. The club thinks that needs to change

    Benji Marshall’s contract gives him more power than almost any other coach in the NRL, but that is about to be challenged as the Wests Tigers realise he can no longer be surrounded by “yes men” after a tumultuous week for the club that could result in the loss of another quality half.

    Regular halfback Adam Doueihi stood up to Marshall on Thursday, calling him out on issues at the club and standing down from Saturday’s clash against the Raiders after Marshall had moved him to lock – a stance for which Doueihi was called selfish in the meeting.

    ‘Doesn’t want to be the fall guy’: Twist in ugly Doueihi saga

    Adam Doueihi’s decision to make himself unavailable for Raiders clash on Saturday night has nothing to do with being moved out of the halves, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

    Doueihi on Thursday withdrew from the clash, reportedly following a blow up with coach Benji Marshall and the decision to move him to starting lock, allowing Javon Andrews to debut at No.7.

    But on Saturday morning, the Herald reported that was not the case.

    Doueihi first heard of the plan on Monday – before his judiciary appearance to fight a one-game ban – but was unable to get confirmation from Marshall until Thursday.

    It’s a great night for Daniel Tupou, who celebrates his 300th game in style now with a trademark try, jumping to bring down a pinpoint Hugo Savala bomb and score in the corner. That’s been his bread and butter for a decade at the Roosters, and he has a chance for a hat-trick now.

    The Roosters battled to break through some excellent Parramatta defence in the first half but they’re running away with the game now.
