INTERNATIONAL BABY: The NRL has continued to move rugby league games away from the fans with the recent announcement that Game 1 of the 2030 State of Origin will be played in Eastern Europe. This follows the news last week that two games next year will be played in Las Vegas, and Auckland will also host a State of Origin game in 2027. Sources say that Ukraine and Russia are the leading candidates for the match, with the two currently at war as they vigorously compete for hosting rights.
