After this weekend, each team will be halfway through their home-and-away campaign. Early on in my mathematical studies I learned that nine does not go into six. Yet that remains the situation with a couple of weeks of A-League play remaining. With one final chance to push for Origin selection, desperation will be the order of the day for many players and their teams as the NRL season hits the halfway point. Here is The Roar s NRL expert tipping panel for Round 12. It hasn t been a happy start for Australian teams in the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman competition but as the saying goes you re only as good as your last week. Confirmed reports that Network Ten and its streaming service Paramount+ have snapped up A-League broadcast rights is good news for a competition that can finally move forward with some confidence. How do you respond to a challenge? Do you embrace it, accept your shortcomings without flinching and look for improvements? Or do you shrink back into the corner of the room, and resolve to play with your own ball in your own space? There is plenty of ineptness around the league this year, but we can t write about St Kilda s lack of heart every week. The Canberra Raiders have agreed to release George Williams from his contract immediately on compassionate grounds. The NRL Round 12 teams have been revealed, with the Canberra Raiders getting a huge boost as they aim to resurrect their season. The AFL acted expeditiously against Gold Coast Suns utility Nick Holman for his chase down tackle from behind on Geelong’s Mitch Duncan as he was running down the wing attempting to send the ball long into the Cats’ forward line. After another disappointing weekend for Australian rugby, we need your questions for this week s edition of Coach s Corner. Adam O Brien ruffled some feathers in his post-game press conference following his side s loss to the North Queensland Cowboys last Thursday. I apologise for the late article, but as promised, week in, week out, you will be hearing from me this season about the not-so-mighty Pies. When you ask about the best teams in France, the majority of people will say Paris St Germain, followed by Marseille, Lyon and Monaco – but now we have another team to add to the list: Lille. With the State of Origin series coming up and the teams being named next week, I have decided to come up with my Origin side for the NSW Blues. I could argue that during the course of the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC), the weather outdid England, Australia’s abandoned tour of South Africa obstructed their path to the final, the points system was flawed, NZ are yet to prove their mettle away from home, or that India prepared poor wickets against England. It took less than a minute for a lot of drama in the second NBA playoff game between the LA Lakers and Pheonix Suns. Anthony Davis was fouled when he took a shot but at the same time he kicked Jae Crowder in the groin. Egan Bernal extended his race lead, but the spectators took their enthusiasm to a new and alarming level. The Souths five-eighth says it is going to take players time to adapt to the new high-tackle rules. The Roosters forward was banned for five weeks and will miss the first two State of Origin matches. NSW City fullback Cassey Tohi-Hiku somehow stopped NSW Country s Charlize Lloyd-Phillips who looked certain to score in the 8-all draw in the play-off for third. In the 26th minute of an August 2009 match between the Manly Sea Eagles and Cronulla Sharks, NRL referee Phil Haines faced a testing situation. Manly player Chris Bailey lay prone on the ground after being struck in the head by Cronulla’s Luke Douglas.
