🗞 The Six Million Dollar Man

G'day sports fans,

🧢 Wow, congrats to the four people, out of hundreds that voted, who picked the Blues and Eels ($6.30) double in the poll on Wednesday. Keep an eye out for an email regarding the Dabble Hats. 🧢

Classic quote: “You tell them you’re Tiger Woods,” - On a night a 20yr old Woods asks Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter how to approach girls.

🏉 Hours after reports surfaced stating he had signed a fresh contract with Parramatta worth upwards of $1.2 million five year deal, the marquee man delivered.

The Eels bagged their first win of the season — and have sweet revenge — over arch rivals, Penrith in a thrilling 17-16 golden point victory.

A two-point field goal from Nathan Cleary on the full-time siren sent the game into golden point, but it was ultimately his opposition No.7, Mitchell Moses that got the last laugh with a golden point field goal after 81 minutes of thrilling rugby league.

🇦🇺 An inspired Carlton dug deep and found a way to close out a thriller, holding off a fast-finishing Geelong and a stunning Jeremy Cameron masterclass to remain undefeated in 2023.

Questions have surfaced over the form of new Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield after another subpar performance as the reigning premiers suffered a second straight loss.

After being overrun by Collingwood in round one, Geelong spent most of round two trailing a hungry Carlton side who eventually ran out 13.12. (90) to 12.10. (82) winners at the MCG despite a nervy finish.

🏉 Jordie Barrett's training ground appearance in Storm purple, rather than Hurricanes yellow this week, naturally set tongues wagging.

Barrett is signed with the Hurricanes and NZ Rugby until the end of 2025 but has made no secret about his enthusiasm for other sports, including league and Aussie rules. He would be a weapon in the NRL.

🇦🇺 Recently-retired Lion Mitch Robinson has admitted to there being "a bit of bad blood" between Brisbane and Melbourne as the two heavyweights prepare to lock horns this weekend.

"They've always had that kind of — not smugness or anything like that — but you can just tell they think they're better than us”.

🏏 WA's pace attack ripped through Victoria's top and middle order as opener Ashley Chandrasinghe batted 266 balls for an unbeaten 46 to see the visitors to stumps on day one of the Sheffield Shield final.

Match report: Victoria are 194 for 8.

🏉 Rugby Australia are pursuing Joseph Suaalii with a multimillion-dollar deal that could see him follow in the footsteps of Israel Folau and Sonny Bill Williams.

The Roosters teenager earlier this month triggered his player option to remain at the Tricolours in 2024, but the exit door remains wide open at the end of next season.

Signing with RA from the end of 2024 would allow Suaalii enough time to join a Super Rugby club and prepare for the Wallabies’ series against the British and Irish Lions in mid-2025.

🇦🇺 Richmond v Crows - Each of Richmond's last 13 away matches have gone OVER the total match points line.

🇦🇺 Swans v Hawthorn - Tom Papley has kicked 2+ goals in each of Sydney's last six matches at the SCG.

🏉 Rabbitohs v Manly - Latrell Mitchell has scored at least one try in three of his last four appearances against Manly.

 🏉 Cowboys v Titans - Heilum Luki has scored a try in each of North Queensland's last two matches against Gold Coast.

👊🏻 UFC Main Event - Manel Kape has won each of his last three UFC fights.
