The AFL Lines – Rd 14

Another Grappling Issue for NRL Bosses
Bill Harrigan and Stuart Raper were welcomed in as the joint referees bosses late last year and I must say I was happy to see them appointed.

Both teams have plenty of Origin players backing up with the Broncos likely to play five and the Dragons six, pending fitness tests. Wayne Bennett has remarkably lost 11 of the […]
