Crikey’s NRL Hot Form Chart
Representative football begins which means the first of seven abbreviated rounds in 2009’s NRL calendar. And how a number of key players pull up following Friday night’s test will be critical to their clubs’ chances.
The biggest ask probably lies with Johnathan Thurston and North Queensland. Backing up 24 hours after an [...]

There is one thing certain about tonight’s Manly v Storm clash: it may be the grand final re-match, but it sure won’t be the grand final preview. Manly can’t win without Brett Stewart but for Melbourne personnel seems irrelevant — the Storm can’t win no matter who’s playing. Safest to go [...]

It’s been a week of farewells in the lead-up to round four of the NRL season: Todd Carney farewelled his dignity (apparently he had some left); Newcastle is farewelling Newcastle; Max Delmege is farewelling Manly; and Manly is farewelling its premiership defence.

A bit wobbly. That’s how last year’s grand finalists, Manly and the Storm, are looking just at the moment. The Sea Eagles — who, like Lear, are more sinned against than sinning — at least have a home game against the struggling Penrith to right the ship. Melbourne has no such [...]
