I’m often asked what my father (John Lang) is doing in retirement.
This video sums him up..courtesy of mum.
He lives for his grandchildren..from school & sport pick up to repairing bike tyre punctures...AND...tackling technique practice in his canal..at nearly 70.

Seriously...the minority are refusing the vaccination because they do not like being told what to do.
The students are running the class & the NRL are tip toeing around them.
Replace anti-vaxxers with those who appreciate the privilege of being an NRL player.

Sea Eagles star Dylan Walker is the latest to publicly challenge the government in the flu shot debate. Walker defended players' right to choose whether or not they vaccinate, as politicians put more pressure on the NRL to stand players down.

I’m a Gold Coast Titans season ticket holder…but playing Cyndi Lauper’s “girls just want to have fun” every week when the opposition team scores yet another try is indicative of the club’s attitude and why they are where they are..

Chases down a runaway Rod Wishart, which allows Matt Sing to make the tackle.

There is no doubt the Roosters are an incredible organisation…and Brandon Smith a good person.
But, the fact that Brandon has articulated his thoughts in this manner given the support he’s received from his own club recently is what I deem to be “mind-blowing”.

At the halfway point of the season, Reece Walsh has sustained two head injuries. Both from foul play.
