This is your weekly dose of NRL truth-telling, as tipster and rugby league raconteur Nick Tedeschi tears through the good, the bad and the indefensible, with absolutely no regard for bruised egos. The Madness of Laurie Daley It is quite incredible that in a race for the worst NSW coaches in a field that includes Brad Fittler, Laurie Daley is the runaway winner for the most inept. In his first five series he at least had the restraint – or more accurately a different rort – with Bob Fulton advising. Now the NSW coach has free rein and that has…

2026 State Of Origin Game II | Preview & Tips

• Nick Tedeschi
Match Preview New South Wales jumped to a 1-0 series lead in the most extraordinary of circumstances, needing some fortuitous luck and a questionable decision to send Kalyn Ponga off to claw back a 20-0 deficit to win in the final minute with a miraculous James Tedesco catch. The Blues left with the win but the Maroons were the better team and left with both the moral victory and the cover. It is quite extraordinary that the Blues again go in favoured given the disparity in coaching ability that was there for all to see as New South Wales started…

There are just five games on the schedule in Round 15 with all of the Origin stars absent from action but we still have some fascinating games including two Top 8 matchups that will have a major bearing on September. South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Brisbane Broncos 9:50pm Thursday | Accor Stadium, Sydney Under 50.5 ($1.90) The best total of Round 15 is unquestionably the under in the opening clash between Souths and Brisbane. Both teams are missing key attacking weapons with Latrell Mitchell still sidelined for Souths while Reece Walsh leads a long list of outs for Brisbane. These teams…

The Mid-Season Report Card We have reached the halfway point of the season so it is time for a mid-season report card. Brisbane Broncos (D-)Record: 5-8 (12th) Assessment: Brisbane’s title defence has been utterly horrific, hampered at first by injuries but now just defined by mediocrity. Reece Walsh is playing with fear and not a lot of respect for his teammates. Ezra Mam has been going so bad…

Being Kissed On The Andrew Hick Should Not Blind The World To Laurie Daley’s Ineptitude and the Blues Failures For 60 Minutes New South Wales lead the State of Origin series 1-0 and are now heavily favoured to claim the 2026 series but the result should not cover up the reality: Until Queensland were reduced to 12 men, they led 20-6 and were cruising to a win in…
