On Saturday Mullen will run out with the Sunshine Coast Falcons for his first game in four years with the utility eager to prove himself. Obviously excited coming to the team and training and playing here and getting back the football skills, Mullen said. Sunshine Coast Falcons prepare for their first trial this year against the Ipswich Jets. Four years I ve waited so looking to rip in. Mullen has relished the pre-season with the Bokarina outfit. Game fitness is a different kettle of fish you can train as much as you want out here and do all the weights and that sort of stuff, game fitness is different, he said.
Jim Callinan to replace Frank Barrett on Triple M Newcastle
He will be replaced by current Fox Sports News and Sky News presenter, Jim Callinan.
Alongside existing commentators Michael ‘Hages’ Hagan and Marc ‘MG’ Glanville, Callinan will call every Newcastle Knights match throughout the NRL season from Thursday, March 11.
Triple M said Callinan’s experience in live television, plus his extensive list of sporting contacts throughout the Hunter and Newcastle regions will make him the perfect addition to the program.
SCA Newcastle content director, Jase Allen, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Jim to the Call Team alongside Hages and MG. Having an expert panel of Novocastrians who can deliver an informative and entertaining call, will continue to make it the number one destination for local rugby league in 2021.
In great news for Titans fans, young forwards David Fifita and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui have taken out the top two spots in voting for the best player under 21 in the NRL.
