The Bat signal was sent over Toshiba HQ, Richie looked up and smiled, and surprisingly so did his Toshiba bosses. Good signs? When fish bite at the bait that means the prize is interested in what you have to offer, it’s a matter of time before you start reeling it in right?

Can Patrick Tuipulotu’s men assure the Auckland faithful a second consecutive title is possible when fans descend upon Eden Park on February 15th? How much of a loss are Akira Ioane and Bryce Heem to the team? Should Blues fans be excited about the recruits?

What do the Smurfs, Sonic the Hedgehog, Aladdin’s Genie, the Na’vi from Avatar, Manu Samoa, Super Rugby Blues & NSW Blues have in common? It’s obvious isn't it… they are all the good guys.

Game 3 of the 2024 State of Origin series decider at Suncorp Stadium was one of the meanest games of footy I’d watched in a long time.

Happy New Year readers, let's hope 2024 brings you sporting joy and fulfilment as fans as I present thoughts on how this year will behold for the Blues, Manly SeaEagles, Miami Heat and Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's go!

The 2023 Rugby World Cup will end this weekend with yet another winner coming from the Southern Hemisphere. In its 36-year history, only once have a team from the Northern Hemisphere won the World Cup, the 2003 English team.

"With 3 games left to go in the season and 4 teams still alive, here we are licking our lips with anticipation like an LL Cool J video as we await a sold-out Sun-Cope, for this Saturday nights
Preliminary final between The Wahs and the Broncos."

Malo NRL fans round 21 is upon us and with Origin over, the Telstra Premiership is back on centre
stage. 7 rounds to go and I must admit, the make up of the top 4 is still undecided as teams still have
enough time to bring it home or at the same time ki’o their ofuvae (shit their pants) and come up
short.

When the following semis came, my beloved Blues who I thought, WERE supposed to be there, suppose to have found redemption turned out to be a total embarrassment for myself and my team.

The 2023 State of Origin series winner was decided last night following game 2 at Lang Park with the mighty Queensland Maroons taking a 2 nil lead after giving NSW a comprehensive fasi palasi (hiding/smacking) winning 32 -6.

Can Moses deliver the Blues out of Suncorp, and send the series to a decider? History says no. But in the words of Adesanya, Moses can make this HIStory.

The 2023 Super Rugby Pacific finals series is upon us. We have found our top 4 teams out of 12, after
14 regular season games.

One of the great Wins by Queensland, a lot of shit talking about Billy Slater’s team choices but the
performances of Man of the match Rueben Cotter, The Hammer and Reece Walsh in particular should
put a big aue le pese to those critics.

Origin 2023 is upon us. With game 2 this year being played in the other state, you could say Game 1 is almost a must win for the Blues because we all know the other team grow an extra arm and a ref at home. So, for Freddy and his staff, getting the selections right is crucial.

Talofa lava NRL footy fans. As we are approaching round 11 of the 2023 NRL Premiership and a couple weeks off the halfway point as well as being on the eve of the announcement of the State of Origin teams, I thought it was a good time to give out some report cards for our current top 8 teams and assess how they are travelling.

There are two reasons why I’m a diehard Auckland Rugby fan. The first is I was born and raised in the City of Sails, Auckland is my city, West Auckland is my home, I love this town, and my unwavering support extends to all sports teams who represent this fine city.

Welcome to Upset City, est: 2023, population 56, slogan: “Where the best get dropped.” This is the town where top-tier sports teams get sent for four unpretentious days to reflect, rehabilitate, re-evaluate, and rejuvenate after experiencing shocking losses to the cellar dwellers of their respective competitions.

It's March Madness peeps, not NCAA College Basketball but the sports on SkyTV in Aotearoa version. Here is what I’ll be looking forward to this month.

Thank you for your service, the greatest fans in the NRL salute you. Go forth, and exit the pearly gates of 4 Pines with the honour and privilege of spilling blood, sweat (no bloody tears), and pride (no pun intended) for the maroon and white jersey and the bird of prey logo.

"From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate" Ok, the word hate might be a bit extreme, but this quote by the philosopher Socrates resonates the feelings I had towards his airness Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
