McLaughlin on pole for Phillip Island opener
Scott McLaughlin Scott McLaughlin pipped arch rival Chaz Mostert to break Ford’s stranglehold on Armor All Pole Awards in the 2016 V8 Supercars Championship. Drivers were able to complete two green tyre runs in dry conditions at the Phillip Island circuit as threatening rain failed to materialise during the 15 minute qualifying session. McLaughlin recorded a 1:30.66s best to sit atop the order after the first runs ahead of Mark Winterbottom, Jamie Whincup, Fabian Coulthard and Shane van Gisberg..>> view originalGareth Widdop shines as St George Illawarra Dragons beat Gold Coast Titans

Day of the walking red: redheads stand united in Australia's first ginger pride rally Updated April 16, 2016 17:25:01 From "ranga" and "carrot top" to "ginger ninja" and "Fanta pants", redheads are hoping the inaugural Australian ginger pride rally will help them reclaim the names that have been used to ridicule them.A sea of orange and ginger flowed through the streets of Melbourne, as more than 100 redheads united to make a stand.The event is part of a global movement..>> view originalWhy Bombers are better than we thought

Over the next couple of weeks, I’m planning to outline how each team in the competition is going to ..>> view originalCowboys vs Rabbitohs: A lesson in teamship, consistency and passion
Last night’s match between the Cowboys and the Rabbitohs was always going to be emotional. On the one hand, the Bunnies needed to find a way to put last week’s defeat to the Roosters well and truly behind them. On the other hand, the Cowboys were facing up against the previous premiers for the first time since winning the Grand Final themselves.
