A cherished chapter of my life is over and a new one begins. Thank you @SMHsport for this gift of a career. Thank you @smh reader. Though we never met, I wrote for you. It was a privilege.

Premier @AnnastaciaMP has cancelled her long-awaited appearance @ the #QMC scheduled for November 21. However, as one door closes, another one opens. Opposition Leader @DavidCrisafulli MP will be stepping in to fill the void left by the withdrawal. More details coming 07.11.23.
Hearing a story like this was always the best, most treasured part of the job.
It’s also the other side of Roy Kent’s Trent Crimm scene in Ted Lasso, which was just as real
Thanks Mrs Donaldson 🫶🏻
Go the Wallabies 👊🏻
Had a crack at understanding Eddie’s thinking about the Wallabies squad.

Crazy, courageous or just essential change: Deciphering the shock World Cup squad of Eddie Jones https://t.co/N6FtB9Qcr9
Congrats to all those named in @wallabies#RWC2023 squad. Especially big Willy Skelton as skipper!
Spare a thought for those that missed out - it’s never a nice phone call to receive one I received twice! There will be better days ahead and new opportunities will come!
Congratulations to Will Skelton; the first Auckland-born, French-based, former Wentworthville Magpies league junior, non lineout-jumping lock to captain the Wallabies at a World Cup
Breaking: Further to the news from @iainpayten of Michael Hooper being left out of Eddie Jones' Wallabies World Cup squad...
Gun No.13 Len Ikitau has missed out. Injured shoulder vs Pumas and Wallabies hoped he'd be right for 1st match of RWC
Big shock

EVENT CANCELLED – @QldMediaClub has cancelled this upcoming event. Given the issues that have now arisen between Mr Sofronoff and the ACT Chief Minister and Attorney General, Mr Sofronoff considers that it is not possible to participate in the proposed event.
If you are playing at home, Matildas last night outrated:
Every NRL Grand Final and every Origin since 2016
The 2022, 2019, 2018, 2017 AFL Grand FInal (but not 2021, 2020)
Wallabies have confirmed Len Ikitau has a fractured scapula. Recovery time of 6-8 weeks.
Australia's first RWC game is 9 September v Georgia and Aus v Fiji is September 17.
Ikitau so important to Wallabies you'd imagine he'll still be in the squad.
What’s left after the disappointment dissipates:
- There is a spark there that might combust when support and breakdown sharpen up
- They keep fighting
- Filthy captain.. I’m here for candour
- The sight of an Angus Bell carry
- Nawaqanitawase
Pumas 34 Wallabies 31.
Australia is no chance at the World Cup playing like this. Getting beaten physically, discipline atrocious, poor decision making at key moments, and vulnerable defence. Eddie’s going to need a whole box of replacement headphones
