Today is the Super Bowl of American motorsports, in a sense, discounting the Indianapolis 500, as the Daytona 500 will be contested today in Florida. It is NASCAR’s biggest race of the season, despite being the inaugural event of the season. It is the race that defines NSCAR drivers in…Read More

Cronulla Sharks Captain Paul Gallen has publicly declared that he would prefer to see Jayden Brailey get the nod to be Cronulla’s number nine in the first round of the 2017 NRL Telstra Premiership. Brailey filled the role in the World Cup Challenge and is of the proper mind-set to…Read More
