Shaun Johnson, the Dally M and manifesting our dreams

The Fair Dinkum Department ·

2023/07/17

Shaun Johnson won the Golden Boot in 2014 and has always been one of the most entertaining NRL players to watch - but has he ever been so close to the Dally M medal? We've run the numbers and, if this was still a betting market, SJ would be a very good option.

The Ben Hunt saga is both real and ridiculous

The Fair Dinkum Department ·

2023/06/26

Ben Hunt is the Dragons' best player but wants out - preferably back to Queensland and maybe even the Brisbane Broncos. Should the NRL investigate if this is cheating - or is that utter madness?

The Fair Dinkum Department ·

2023/06/13

It's been another underwhelming start to the season for Cronulla against top 8 opposition. For a side with so many offensive weapons and a defensively heralded coach, the end result shouldn't look so clunky.

Origin outrage special: NSW should panic - but how much?

This week on the Fair Dinkum Department:SHOULD THE BLUES MAKE MASS CHANGES FOR GAME 2? SHOULD BRAD FITTLER BE SACKED? IS JAMES TEDESCO’S NSW SPOT IN DANGER? DOES THE NRL NEED TO CHANGE ORIGIN PERIOD? IS SHANE FLANAGAN THE MAN FOR THE DRAGONS?

2023/05/29

Rugby league outrage: there’s plenty of it. We’re going to decide if it’s real or ridiculous. Fire up over these questions: IS DAMIEN COOK’S REP CAREER OVER? DOES NATHAN CLEARY “NEED” TO WIN THIS ORIGIN SERIES? ARE THE KNIGHTS IN A MARKET FOR A NO.6? IS JARROD CROKER DECISION DISRESPECTFUL? SHOULD THE NRL STOP TAKING GAMES TO NEW ZEALAND?

Origin special: Are the Blues doomed?

The Fair Dinkum Department ·

2023/05/22

There's a distinct lack of hype in New South Wales after Brad Fittler's squad announcement. Are the Blues doomed - or is the concern just a little bit ridiculous?

Everyone wants a piece of Magic Round - but Brisbane won't be giving up the NRL festival without a fight. Does rugby league's big weekend work outside of Queensland, though?

The Dragons can’t quit on 2023

The Fair Dinkum Department ·

2023/05/01

Would giving up on season 2023 and planning for next year achieve anything for the Dragons? Likely not. Josh Schuster is an undeniable talent but seemingly has the dedication of any mortal 21-year-old. The Broncos are pretenders! No, wait: they're top of the table. Why is everyone so outraged?

2023/04/24

Should Jack Wighton be loyal to the Raiders - does he owe them anything? If he goes to the Rabbitohs, who leaves Redfern to make way? We've got NRL hot takes by the bagful.

2023/03/27

Is the NRL in crisis? Joseph Suaalli is heading to rugby for a reported $1.6 million a year. He might play in a World Cup but, after his Roosters deal run out, he won't play a rainy Thursday night at Campbelltown Stadium. Who wins? Is everyone stomping their feet over nothing? Haven't we been here before? This is the Fair Dinkum Department.

2023/03/20

Is it outrage or just consistent concern? Either way, the NRL coverage this week will be chockers with Luke Brooks projections. Plus, it's not too soon to talk Origin, we were wrong about the Warriors (this week) and Matto returns.

The Fair Dinkum Department ·

2023/03/13

Ponga has another concussion and rugby league can't lose him. A footy fan is a racist - even if delivered in bite-size packaging. Everybody loves Jackson Hastings. Teddy or Suaalii? Are any of these NRL stories?

Round 1 was a barnstormer in terms of on-field ply but, as is our way, media reports swayed from the real to the ridiculous. TALKING POINTS HIA dramas Dolphins become everyone's 2nd favourite team Wade Graham suspension Who ordered the Dally M revamp?
