Set of six: Johnson on right wing

Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson occupies the right edge on attack, which is apparently out near where his political loyalties lie. When asked who he will be voting for in next month's election, the 23-year-old laughed and replied: "I didn't even know that it was compulsory [to enrol] to vote so that's how informed I am on it. I don't know, John Key seems to be doing an all-right job so hopefully he can stay on." After giving the issue deeper thought, the big-money star asked: "Which one [candidate] is saying he'll adjust the tax rates? I'll go with him."

Mogg the would-be polygamist

Adam Mogg showed a quick wit in response to a reporter jokingly mistaking him for Shaun Johnson. The Warriors assistant coach chuckled and hit back with: "I wish I looked like him. How good would that be? I'd have six wives."

40/20 rule revamp

Last night's match between Canterbury and Wests Tigers was played under the revised 40/20 restart rule, following last week's debacle in the Eels' loss to the Bulldogs. The NRL yesterday rushed through the new clarification that allows teams to continue using the tap kick but only after the referee has blown his whistle. The change lets referees allow defending teams reasonable time to get into position before signalling a restart of play. Go back to giving them scrums, I say.

Molan quits radio show

Footy Show co-host Erin Molan has quit her weekly sports chat segment on Aussie radio station Kiis FM after being hit with inappropriate and sexist questions. Earlier this month, Molan was subjected to questions live on air about how many sportsmen she has had sex with and whether she has had a boob job, while controversial host Kyle Sandilands said her siblings were "probably all coke-heads". Molan, rightly unimpressed, made it clear she would not be returning to the show.

Hunt weighs up offers

The Gold Coast Titans have reportedly involved the NRL in talks with New Zealand-born former Broncos and Queensland star Karmichael Hunt's management about a possible return to the 13-man code. The Titans are hoping for some salary cap concessions to help them better an offer from Super Rugby's Queensland Reds, with both clubs looking to wrestle Hunt away from his five-year stint with AFL's Gold Coast Suns.

Soward's nice touch

Footage of young Panthers fan Connor Garland riding a rollercoaster of emotions from the hill during Penrith's upset defeat to Cronulla in round 20 gained a lot of attention on social media. The poor kid was almost tearing his hair out and was filmed punching the ground in disgust as the Sharks stole a two-point victory. Panthers five-eighth Jamie Soward was moved by Connor's passion and surprised him with a signed boot after the team's one-point win over the Cowboys on Monday night.
