Ben Brick-Outhouse powers over anf the kick makes it a 2-point game.

Have the Storm piddled on Brisbane's chips just as they did to the Warriors?

And they've blown another!

Do you really think that would stop the complaints?

No, Dupree gets a 1 match ban.

Was he chasing deer in Richmond Park?

Over the last week: The Phantom Empire (1987) B-movie royalty criminally under-utilised in a bore-fest. Apart from Jeffrey Combs, nobody's really trying, on or off camera. The Invisible Maniac (1990) Demented scientist kills off disrespectful teens, but only the girls get killed in the shower. Future Fear (1997) Post-apocalyptic action guff with a weird 'Alice in Wonderland' subtext. The Boy and the Heron (2023) Hayao Miyazaki's swansong? Maybe. Bloody peculiar but amazing. Cade: The Tortured Crossing (2023) Neil Breen's latest suggests he's beginning to go down the Tommy Wiseau route. Very disappointing. Galaxina (1980) Dull, , self-satisfied, unfunny and far too long for the content. Embryo (1976) Weird medical horror with Rock Hudson and knock-off Bond Girl Barbara Carrera. Eyes of the Serpent (1994) A Nineties attempt to make an Eighties sword'n'sorcery flick, with a bit of Deathstalker 2/3 irreverence thrown in. A bit rubbish, but another step near the end of my long trek through Conansploitation movies.

Thank you for your contribution, Mr Hartley.

As young as he is, he'll be a senior player to many of that Wests squad, but he'll be exposed too, without the Panthers stars and team system around him. It could go either way; either it'll make him a leader and knock some of the snide nonsense out of his game, or he'll get frustrated and make a prat of himself.

You what the what now?

Posted on the morning of April the 1st? Hmm...

Bula was one of Wests' few bright spots last season. His full surname is Bula-Okesene - I wonder if he's related to Hitro?

Tim Tszyu lost on points to Sebastian Fundora in the WBO super welterweight title match that Fox has been publicising for weeks during NRL coverage. Fellow Aussies Liam Wilson and Michael Zerafa also lost their world titles over the weekend.

Turning that corner has taken a long time, but they seem to be playing with a lot more self-belief this season.

There have been plenty of players of North African (mostly Algerian) descent in French Rugby League who were Muslims. There have not been as many as there could have been at English clubs.

...and c for club.

SL+ played a bit of the We are York documentary series during HT.

It was the kind of thing you might expect from a hot-headed youngster, overexcited on his debut. Hansen knows better.

Harrison Hansen red-carded! York need to take advantage with nearly an hour to go.

Watching York v Toulouse on SL+ and that Toulouse strip looks really smart. The visitors are currently 0:8 up, but its's early days.
