Herbie Farnworth blow rocks fans as fresh details come to light ahead of Ashes
English and Dolphins fans were left rocked on Friday night when star centre Herbie Farnworth went down clutching at his hamstring against the Warriors, but coach Kristian Woolf claimed he may be back before the end of the season. Farnworth has arguably been the best centre in the competition across the last two years and has been a huge part of the Dolphins success in 2025. Farnworth was also eyeing the Ashes series at the end of the year where he was looking to inspire his English side at home against the Kangaroos. Although that is all in doubt right now after going down clutching at his hamstring in the Dolphins' thrilling 20-18 win over the Warriors in New Zealand. Farnworth had already opened the scoring against the Warriors and had burst through for his second linebreak of the night in the first 20 minutes when he collapsed without any contact. And it immediately had fans concerned. 'This is potentially devastating for not just this game but the Dolphins' season. He's gone. The old sniper got him in fresh air. He ran past Healey like he wasn't there and there was only Tuaupiki to beat. It was two on one," Fox Sports commentator Warren Smith said. 'He was in about fourth gear and looked towards the fullback and then boom, it just goes as quickly as that.' Although Woolf has moved to offer some good news with initial reports suggesting Farnworth is looking at four to six weeks on the sidelines. The centre has scans booked back in Brisbane. "To lose Herbie early like we that's a big hit for us. To win the way we did, just that second-half, I thought were were brave," Woolf said. "It's obviously a bad it is we don't quite no yet. I would have thought at least four or six weeks." And 'NRL Physio' Brien Seeney also suggested it isn't as bad as it may have appeared, but Farnworth could be facing anywhere between four to eight weeks on the sideline. While the latter would mean he wouldn't return unless the Dolphins made a late finals push, he could be back before the end of the regular season. Although English fans were left concerned having watched arguably their biggest attacking weapon go down months out from the historic Ashes series against Australia. Farnworth was a guaranteed selection having torn Samoa apart in last year's two-match series. But there main attacking weapon should be lining up at Wembley in the first Ashes tour in 22 years. This is worrying - hoping this isn't as serious as it looks and Herbie Farnworth is fit and firing for the Ashes 🙏 — The Tryline 🏉 (@TrylineUK) August 1, 2025 Farnworth might be a doubt for The Ashes now mate — DeanC_2024 (@DeanC_2024) August 1, 2025 He's obviously the other centre. It will be him and Farnworth if he's not injured too badly. But if he is, then there's no one really to replace him. — Old Man Winter (@OldManWinter999) August 1, 2025 RELATED: Fans fume over Reece Walsh act as Wayne Bennett rocked over 18th man drama Wayne Bennett and Rabbitohs set for fresh NRL blow as player seeks exit Warriors coach stoic after thrilling defeat Jamayne Isaako scored in the final minute of the contest to give the Dolphins a much needed win to move into the top eight. Although the Warriors, who are also dealing with a brutal injury toll, now see their position in the top four under threat. The Broncos moved to 28 points after thrashing the Rabbitohs and the Panthers play the Titans on Saturday with the opportunity to move one point behind the Warriors. The Panthers are on a roll with a fully-fit side, while the Warriors were missing a host of stars such as James Fisher-Harris and Wayde Egan. And while Warriors coach Andrew Webster may have felt deflated after the thrilling defeat, he wasn't going to dwell on the loss. "There's so many good signs but it's hard to take obviously because it's such a dramatic finish," he said. "No-one is going to lie, you get your hopes up ... and then it gets taken away from you and that's hard, but we've got to move on."

Ex-NBA star's wife bitten by shark in Puerto Rico
The pregnant wife of former NBA star Danilo Gallinari revealed on Friday that she had been attacked by a shark in Puerto Rico. Eleonora Boi posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her tongue sticking out on her Instagram page with an explanation of the terrifying event. She's expecting her third child with the former New York Knicks forward. She described it as the "worst day of my life." "I never thought I could get attacked by a shark and I was near the shore and on a super crowded beach. Thankfully me and my baby are fine," she wrote, according to a translation. "I was rushed to the rescue and the surgery to fix my poor bruised leg went well. Now I just have to recover from the great scare. . . ." She joked that the shark would be hearing from her lawyer and thanked her husband for his "courage" during the situation. She reportedly suffered a wound on her thigh. Department of Natural and Environmental Resources biologist Nilda Jiménez told El Nuevo Dia that officials were investigating the type of shark that bit Boi. "Based on the photographs provided to us, we believe the characteristics of the bite could be consistent with those of a shark," Nilda told the outlet, via E! News. "But to validate this, a series of analyses would be necessary. For this purpose, medical personnel were asked for samples, which, if available, would be analyzed promptly." Gallinari didn't address the incident. The Italy native played in the NBA from 2008 to 2024 with eight different teams over his career. He averaged 14.9 points and 4.7 rebounds in 777 career games.

Are the Boston Celtics trying to get out of the repeater tax this offseason?
Are the Boston Celtics trying to get out of the repeater tax this offseason? The Celtics have made some major moves to get under the second apron by trading away Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, letting Luke Kornet and (presumably) Al Horford walk in free agency, and cutting JD Davison. Replacing them with lower-cost players like Anfernee Simons, Georges Niang, Luka Garza, Josh Minott, Hugo Gonzalez, Amari Williams, and Max Shulga doesn't suggest that trying to build a roster designed to win in the short-term future. Add to that the rumors that hint Boston still wants to trade away Simons and Niang, and one might come to the conclusion the Celtics are trying to get under the repeater tax after clearing the second apron. The hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with the "Third Apron" host and cap expert Yossi Gozlan to try to break down what the benefits would be of such a path, how feasible it might be, as well as whether they think the Celtics' front office can pull off such a scenario -- and what it would mean for Boston's contention arc.
