    I took my camera to the Australia vs. Cook Islands rugby league international to capture the game-day experience!

From the pre-game atmosphere to settling in at the stadium to footage from the game itself, here is my take on a big day of international rugby league. 

It's all about experiencing the game, soaking up the atmosphere and bringing you along for the ride.

    If Sam Walker leaves the Sydney Roosters, where does he go next? 

North Queensland Cowboys? Perth Bears? Could PNG make a play? 

Plenty of possibilities remain, as Walker's future is still a major talking point. 

Where do YOU think he will end up?

    Where Could Sam Walker End Up? 👀
    The Sydney Roosters have withdrawn their contract offer to Sam Walker, throwing doubt on the star halfback's future. 

In this video, I look at what happened, which clubs he could end up at, and whether I agree with the club's decision. 

With Walker contracted through until the end of 2027, what happens next could have major implications for the Roosters and the NRL. 

What do you think? Have the Roosters made the right call, or should they leave the door open for Walker to stay?

    Sam Walker and the Roosters: What The Hell Happened?
    It's NRL Grand Final day, so naturally I'm wearing a 2007 Sydney Roosters jersey..... in a medium. 

In this video, I share a few thoughts on the game and why this particular jersey is making an appearance. 🐔 🏉 

As a Roosters fan, there was only one acceptable short for Grand Final Day. 

Who do you have winning the Grand Final?

    Why I'm wearing a 2007 Sydney Roosters jersey
    NSW completed a historic Women’s Origin clean sweep👏 , but questions are being asked about the scheduling of the series before the NRLW season.

Should Women’s Origin be played during the NRLW season instead?

    Phil Gould completely shut down on the Kalyn Ponga question after Origin 👀 

Was Gus right not to answer the question? Or is something else up?

    Why Phil Gould refused to answer this question
    NSW escaped with the win in Origin 1, but there are still some major concerns. Ethan Strange and and Casey McClean impressed, while handling errors nearly cost the Blues.
