Re: Who is the Raiders' MVP?

I would say Tongue. Yeah Campo is a big playmaker and everything, but they proved last year when he was out for Origin that we could still win without him. Herb and Macca were great that day. Tongue on the other hand lifts the team. Everyone wants to play well when he's there. You can see in the gam...

A statement from Constable McIntyre has been found confirming Ned Kelly's version of Lonigan's murder.

It was signed by McIntyre and Superintendant S...

He notified the police of his intention to Surrender. From memory they locked up his mother as a way of luring him out, so he was going to give himself up to let her go. The police took stretchers and body bags with them on their way to catch Ned.
