Big boost from Brisbane City Council on Origin eve
BRISBANE City Council has thrown its weight behind Queensland’s burgeoning Latin American community, committing as Silver Sponsor to Saturday’s GYG Latino Origin rugby league event at West End.

Pick on this: From bullied to beaming
“I’VE never really been diagnosed with anything. I’m just a shy person…and sensitive too” If you’ve never heard a rugby league player utter those words, that’s because you haven’t met Eugene Araya. The unmistakeable Chilean forward lays bare his heart like few others in the 13-man sport. And he’s sure to do the same as...
No love lost in passionate exchange before Latin American Rugby League Championship
One was a member of the security detail for Manny Pacquiao. The other is a Brazilian jiu jitsu instructor with links to the Brown Berets. And between them these former teammates have lit the fuse for the first Latin American Rugby League Championship, starting a war of words where no love has been lost. If...
“Nothing prepares you for that”: Brazilian Rugby League coach’s tragedy
PERSONAL tragedy in the off-season has further forged Brazilian Rugby League World Cup coach Matt Gardner’s ties with the South American nation.

Brazilian hooker Rodrigo Rezende both a barrister and barrista
Barrister, barrista, hooker. Rodrigo Rezende is all these things. One of the more interesting stories to come from Saturday’s rugby league international between Brasil and Peru in western Sydney is that of Brazilian dummy-half Rezende. A solicitor specialising in industrial law in his homeland, the 28-year-old is making coffees and cooking take-away chickens to earn...
The passions driving enigmatic Chile Rugby League skipper
Chile has named a 183cm, 120kg, fair-skinned, heavily-tattooed walking enigma to captain its history-making rugby league team in the upcoming Americas Cup. Indeed, nothing is how it first seems with Nicholas Doberer. To look at Doberer, you wouldn’t guess he is a goal-kicker, a playmaker, speaks Spanish and is a devoted family man. The 28-year-old...
