Danny Weidler + Sonny Bill Williams

NRL News reporter Danny Weidler continues to haunt Sonny Bill Williams - with the latest Sonny Bill Williams incident occurring last night.

Sonny Bill Williams caught speeding by NSW Police, allegedly clocked at 60 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. The Police had late last year caught Sonny Bill Williams for DUI - the Bulldogs star registering a alcohol reading over the limit.

As Sonny Bill Williams gets in trouble with the Police again - this time speeding - Danny Weidler broke th story on Channel 9 and it seems the offence really is minor and not too news worth. Most of us are caught speeding at one time or another and SBW is human after all.

Danny Weidler reported earlier this month that Sonny Bill Williams is sick of media attention and may leave the game to escape the spotlight. Understandable - maybe Weidler should not report silly misdemeanors and report real NRL newsworthy articles.

Danny Weidler continues to have access to the Bulldogs and Sonny Bill Williams for interviews - its unclear how long this will continue - as surely Danny Weidlers style is burning both Sonny Bill Williams and the Bulldogs club!

Surely the 2007 NRL season end can't come soon enough for Sonny Bill Williams - however will Danny Weidler follow the Kiwi lad around in the offseason looking for a story or two?

Steve Menzies Manly Sea Eagles Record Breaker

Steve Menzies - the Manly Sea Eagles stalwart has now racked up 316 games for the Sea Eagles - fast closing in on some of Rugby Leagues big names.

The record for the most Rugby League games played is 349 by Terry Lamb. Terry Lamb is followed by Brad Fittler 336 games played, Cliff Lyons 332 games played, Andrew Ettingshausen 328, Geoff Gerard 320, Jason Croker 318.

Steve Menzies sits after Jason Croker and will pass him shortly in NRL season 2007.

Following from Steve Menzies in terms of most rugby league games played -Paul Langmack 315 games, Luke Ricketson 301, Darren Smith 290.

Its an impressive record to have for Steve Menzies. The most rugby league games played houses some of the big, respected names of Rugby League - and as Steve Menzies has signed on to play with Manly Sea Eagles in 2008 as well - he will climb further up the list most certainly.

Well done Steve Menzies - a place with the greats - in the list of the most rugby league games played is a respected one.

Krisnan Inu Parramatta Eels and Kiwi

Krisnan Inu, the boom Parramatta outside back has taken the NRL 2007 season by Storm - the young Kiwi has a tonne of tricks to his game and Krisnan Inu is only 20 years old.

Krisnan Inu was actually born in Samoa - but now considers himself a Kiwi for international duties. A strongly religious man, Krisnan Inu has all the skills an outside back could want.

A solid defender and quick on his feet, Krisnan Inu can score a tonne of tries in attack - yet defend with brutal force more common in forwards.

Krisnan Inu can also kick for goal, a successful kicker - around the 90% mark for 2007.

Expect to see plenty more of this kind in coming years, a candidate for the 2007 rookie of the year - Krisnan Inu will be hoping to make the grand final and go all the way with his Eels team before looking to further his studies as a mormon.

Krisnan Inu - we wish you all the best. NRL News

Cameron Smith Melbourne Storm

Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has now officially handed the Storm captaincy to Cameron Smith alone.

Previously the Melbourne Storm had rotated the captaincy through their ranks, however as the NRL finals approach for 2007 - the Melbourne Storm want to build on their no.1 ranked form during the year and letting Cameron Smith do the job alone is certainly in their best interests.

Coach Craig Bellamy rates Cameron Smith as easily the best Rugby League player in the world and his form has been top notch right through 2007.

After a brilliant Origin series, Cameron Smith was rested briefly by the Melbourne Storm - but now with the NRL finals approaching Cameron Smith will continue to the be the rock of the Storm.

A Queensland junior, Cameron Smith has the chance to become the Australian captain as Danny Buderus and Darren Lockyer retire in the coming years.

Brookvale Oval Manly Home Semi Drama

Manly Sea Eagles supremo Ken Arthurson has weighed into the Brookvale Oval / Warringah Council debate - saying its a greedy grab for cash from the Warringah Council over fees for Brookvale Oval during the home semi period (Top 8 NRL finals)

Brooky is critical to the Eagles getting a first up win in the semi finals, and Brookvale Oval continues to be a fortress for the Manly Sea Eagles in 2007.

Ken Arthurson said people power will prevail in Manly and Brookvale Oval would most certainly be hosting the Manly home final.
