Millie Boyle from the NRLW + we are sour at Verstappen + Georgie tries to keep pace with Kobi Walker

Georgie bumped into the delightful Kobi Walker while out running, who happens to be a top 4 national runner in cross country and track. She can barely breathe but her stats have never looked so good (we can’t say the same for poor Kobi!). 

There’s a lot of World Cup action to cover: New Zealand beat England to win the Women’s Rugby World Cup, Pakistan lost to England in the Men’s T20 World Cup final, the Jilleroos are through to Women’s Rugby League semis against PNG, the Kangaroos will play Samoa in the Men’s Rugby League final. In sports news not relating to world cups, the Matildas beat Sweden in a women’s soccer match in Melbourne and are almost a bigger brand than the Wallabies. 

Over the last week a number of NRL and NRLW players have started highlighting their concerns around season dates, pay structures and key policies around things like maternity leave. We speak to Newcastle Knights Captain Millie Boyle about what NRLW players are quite reasonably asking for when negotiating with their sports governing body and why it’s so important to talk about this now. 

Max Verstappen is really not a team player but then what should we expect from an F1 driver? 

Libby is deep into a FIFA documentary about corruption in the world game and Georgie loved hearing former Chicago Bulls starting centre Luc Longley in conversation with Leigh Sales and Annabel Crabb on Chats 10 Looks 3.
