TALE OF THE TAPE

Fan Forum • Each week we’ll be asking our fans for their thoughts on some of the game’s big questions. This week: do you think the captain’s challenge worked?

Moving forward • With two hungry young packs that have plenty to prove to themselves and each other, the Broncos and Rabbitohs are ready to continue hostilities this weekend.

Juggling act • The world is at a crossroads draped with uncertainty, but – at least for now – rugby league will soldier on. Here’s everything you need to know about how COVID-19 is affecting the game, and how you can still get your sporting fix this weekend.

No regrets • Jesse Ramien is happy to be back in the Shire with hopes of making a big impact.

Going for gold • The recent past has given Titans fans little reason to cheer, but a new coach and a positive attitude have created plenty of optimism for 2020 on the Gold Coast.

Willing & able • After going strong for a decade, the physical disability rugby league has its sights set on bigger and better things in the next 10 years.

False starts for fantasy favourites • Some Fantasy guns and possible cash cow failed to fire, but thankfully the best captaincy options delivered with aplomb.
