The Grapple

The Lions are roaring… and Owen Farrell is never boring

4 tours of duty.. and the Wallabies are in the crosshairs

The decider countdown is on.. Who's gonna be happy..

In Origin 2 the Blues were crappy.. Will they handle the comeback of big Papi.

In an age of constant media scrutiny and attention this week our heroes delve into the real reason why Super Gaffa  Billy Slater did an Uncle Wayne and recalled an Origin stalwart to bolster the stocks for game 3. Is it disloyalty?  Have they departed from the "pick and stick" culture that no one from north of tweed has ever expressed publicly? Or have they just picked a bloke in form in a position that is lacking? The truth is out there and our very own Mulder and Scully get to the bottom of it. 

We exclusively reveal that prior to his Origin selection Gem Shibasaki was in fact only on a train and trial deal at Red Hill. His selection now giving Dave Donaghy and the Broncos accountants hives with no doubt a hefty rep footy bonus coming his way.

And on the world stage we reveal that nepotistic Flanno is vindicated by another coach biasly picking his son. British and Irish Lions coach, League Legend Any Farrell has sent an SOS to his son Owen to join the tour down under. Owen is England's highest ever point scorer, former  Captain and this is his fourth Lions tour.  This kind of equal alignment with the Dragons situation allows Flanno to flip us all teh bird right?......right????

Dear God if life gives you those kinds of Lemons you just gotta Grapple......
