We lost one of our greatest supporters and oldest friends when Mickey B passed away last night. Our condolences to Vicki and their boys, and to all those tough young men who shed a tear for Mickey at the wake last night. The one held in the boxing ring that went on until 6 this morning! We think the funeral will be Wednesday. Details to come.

TONGA, the team of the Rugby League World Cup 2017. Maybe, the ref cost them the semi-final last night, but Tonga would have lost the quarter-final last week if the ref got things right all the time. Tip: Never leave it up to the ref to decide the result of the game. Catch the ball. Make your tackles.
