he greatest coach of the NRL modern era is stepping down. Ivan Cleary has announced he will leave the Penrith Panthers at the end of the 2027 season — closing the chapter on one of the most dominant coaching dynasties the game has ever seen. With 18 months left and a stack of key players off contract, what comes next for Penrith? In the AFL, Michael Voss has resigned as Carlton coach after eight straight defeats to start 2026 — the Blues now searching for their sixth coach in under 14 years. LeBron James could have played his final NBA game, Manchester City are through to the FA Cup Final thanks to a Mary Fowler stunner, and Paralympic gold medallist Alexa Leary has been heartbreakingly ruled out of the Commonwealth Games through a reclassification beyond her control. This weekend Daniel previews the NRLW State of Origin decider, the Swans vs Collingwood Friday night blockbuster, a record-breaking moment for Romelda Aiken-George in Super Netball and Max Verstappen taking on the Nürburgring 24 Hour — not in F1, but in his own racing team.Follow The Sports Playbook on Instagram and TikTok, and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

What a weekend in sport. Cricket Australia has tabled a $4 million per year offer to Pat Cummins in a bid to keep their Test captain away from franchise cricket — and it's not the only big money move on the table. In the AFL, Fremantle produced one of the comebacks of the season, overturning a 19-point deficit in the final quarter to win their 8th straight. In Super Netball, Paige Hadley returned to the court just 10 weeks post-partum — fittingly the day before Mother's Day — to inspire the NSW Swifts to their best win of the season. The Melbourne Vixens remain undefeated after nine rounds, Scott Pendlebury equalled an all-time AFL record, and James Tedesco is making Laurie Daley's Origin selection headache even harder.

And in a significant moment for the game, the AFL has fined Carlton $75,000 over the Elijah Holland situation — and is now pushing for mandatory full-time psychologists at every club.This weekend Daniel previews the AFL Top 3 clash between Fremantle and Hawthorn, a crucial NRL matchup between Manly and the Broncos, Super Netball's Friday night blockbuster, and the Grace Nweke vs Courtney Bruce battle that could decide the Swifts' finals hopes.
