The Tigers spoke to the AFL about Nankervis' 'harsh' treatment; Satan's star returns; Beveridge didn't bite Jones

“The fact is Toby gives free-kicks and sometimes opponents don’t,” Hardwick told reporters on Wednesday. “The same thing happens from time to time. “We saw players walking across the line every time during the round and there were 50 of them playing, and Toby was pinged for three of them. “We spoke to the refereeing department about that, and hopefully, we got a better result this week. “In the end, they— [the AFL] accept mistakes made, as we do as coaches too. Load “Toby was penalized for a report and a drawn 50 yards penalty … you know, he was treated harshly.” Nankervis faces a major battle against rising Fremantle force Sean Darcy at Marvel Stadium on Friday night in a contest that will help shape both sides’ final prospects. Richmond have lost three of their last four games, with poor goal kicks costing them over the last two weeks in defeats to the Gold Coast and North Melbourne by a combined margin of just six points. “We’re always in a fight,” said Hardwick. “We are not going

A Set small text size A Set default text size A Set large text size The Queensland Reds’ second-line stake has been restored with key acquisition of Luke Jones’s Tes until 2025. The 31-year-old, who played the last of his six Tests in 2019, will return to Australian rugby from a second stint in France to effectively replace England-bound Lukhan Salakaia-Loto. Jones played 89 Super Rugby matches between 2010-20 for the Western Force and Melbourne Rebels and has just started a stint with Kurtley Beale at Racing 92 in the French Top 14. Offering experience playing against current Reds coach and former All Blacks key Brad Thorn, Jones’ pedigree is welcome given the defeats of Salakaia-Loto and prostitute Alex Mafi (Melbourne Rebels) in the off-season. “It’s great to bring home another Wallaby at the Reds,” said Reds football boss Sam Cordingley of the Sydney product. “Luke is a great addition to our squad. He is a very experienced key with a high work rate, the

Ranking all 17 teams based on how much they need Liam Jones in 2023

A ready-made key defender who was at the peak of his strength prior to choosing not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, the market for Liam Jones at the end of the season may be bigger than you’d expect. Jones was coming off a career-best season with Carlton when he decided to retire, rather than receive vaccinations. Now, with the mandate relaxed, Jones will be allowed into the AFL team in 2023 and there is no shortage of need for his services. We’ve gone through all 17 teams (without Carlton, who has ruled out getting the 31-year-old back) and ranked them based on how much they would benefit from adding Jones for 2023. The question that remains is whether the Blues deserve some sort of compensation, given the unique circumstances. From 17 (least) to 1 (most), here are our rankings: 17. West Coast The Eagles have Tom Barrass in his prime, they have veteran key defenders in Jeremy McGovern, and some younger options in Harry Edwards and Rhett Bazzo. Given where they are and the composit

Two and a Half Men star Angus T. Jones was spotted out for dinner in Los Angeles last week in his first public appearance in nearly a year. The former child star, now 28, was caught on camera treating his sister Otto to a barbecue dinner last Thursday in the San Gabriel Valley, LA. Jones, best known for playing adorable little Jake Harper on the hit CBS sitcom, was almost unrecognizable in his gray beanie, glasses, and long bushy beard, which has grown significantly since he was last seen in public in August 2021.

'Rugby is out of control,' says Jones, as England regain control of Wallabi in Brisbane

England coach Eddie Jones said rugby’s use of red and yellow cards was “out of control” and the referee would be the most important player when the top teams meet at next year’s World Cup. Key points: Eddie Jones and Dave Rennie were both displeased with the rules mandating a yellow card for an accidental knock-on while trying to intercept Jones says Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell combination is “well developed” Rennie says the Wallabies’ depth will be tested, especially in the locks, as the injury list increases Speaking after his England side recorded a 25-17 win over the Wallabies at Lang Park on Saturday, Jones criticized the number of cards issued in the game, including for deliberate and controversial knock-ons. “I think the game has gotten out of hand,” he said. “We saw in the New Zealand-Ireland Test, at one stage the commentators couldn’t count how many players were on the pitch. Serious. They have three backs that pack scrum. “We’ve been full-fledged hogs, where everything i
