🗣 The family of Penrith player Jaeman Salmon have called on the NRL to "take action" against Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.
Stuart is being investigated by the NRL and faces potential legal action for labelling Salmon a "weak gutted dog person" following Saturday's game at GIO Stadium.

🏉 The participation of Quade Cooper in the Wallabies Rugby World Cup campaign in France next year is under serious threat after the veteran was handed a ‘devastating’ injury prognosis.

🐴 The weather will dictate whether talented filly Queen Of The Ball kicks off her spring campaign in Sydney or Melbourne as trainer Michael Freedman searches for a dry track.
While Freedman is keen to aim her at the Princess Series races, starting with the Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) at Randwick in two weeks, she will also be entered for the Group 3 Quezette Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield next Saturday and possibly The Rosebud (1100m) at Rosehill.
"We are going to have our cards dealt to us a little bit by what track surfaces we get over the next month or two and we may have to look at Melbourne for her," Freedman said.
