Writing man for @ABCsport. The Harry "Jersey" Flegg of Aurora Ball. Camden's own. Co-host of @Boomrookies. Don’t believe the hype. Views are my own. Play well.

There was nothing we could do about it. Babu Frik was a made man, and Grogu wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it. It was among the Mandalorians. It was real greaseball shit. They even shot Grogu in the face so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral.

Remember when the main criticisms of Holden Cup were the wild scorelines and poor defence?

This NRL is now on track to have more high-scoring shootouts and one-sided floggings than the last year of under-20s in 2017.

City Origin selectors are watching Alex Twal very closely ahead of next month's clash with their arch rivals, Country.

Love what Twal's become. Never too late to change.

Just making it back to the NRL was a fair effort from Herbert and so far he’s ended up having the game of his life. Love it.

First footy yarn of the year - after three years out of footy, Pat Herbert's gone from an excavator to an NRL pre-season. Hope he makes it, love a comeback https://t.co/auABuFk6Qt

Marge, just about everything is a sin. You ever sat down and read this thing? Technically, we're not allowed to go to the bathroom.

12 set restarts awarded by Klein in the 1st half - a new record. A penalty/set restart awarded every 10.4 play the balls

Previous high was 11 in Round 2 2026 & Round 6 2020

Allegedly some rugby league was played as well but am waiting for independent verification

[Nick Campton @campo37]

Wrote about set restarts - nobody knows why we got them and danged if we know how to use them.

[Nick Campton @campo37]

If you're interested in more stuff on how set restarts are breaking the game I'd encourage anyone to check out @LeagueEyeTest's excellent and extensive work on it

[The Rugby League Eye Test @LeagueEyeTest]

That's a penalty or set restart awarded every 9.9 play the balls. Not even two full sets without one.

Who asked for this?

[The Rugby League Eye Test @LeagueEyeTest]

Round 2 was the first time there have been more set restarts awarded than penalties outside of *that* 2021 season. By just how many may astound you.

Plus expected point charts for every game

Got a yarn coming on Alex Johnston a bit later and dug this up - his first try on the left wing. There would be 163 more to come on that side of the field alone.

Went back to an old gimmick - here’s some (kind of) random footy facts to kick off the season https://t.co/PqC4gjVmlY
