Cody Ramsey’s mum, who got almost as much screen time as the St George Illawarra flyer during his NRL debut, can take plenty of credit for what transpired last weekend | proshenks
"I was working eight-hour days, but getting home at 8.30pm and waking up at 4.30am," Ramsey said. "I was pretty rattled four days a week. I don't think I could have done the train-and-trial contract for another year."It took its toll on me mentally and physically. Lucky enough I did get the shot, but it was hard. I'd packed my bags a lot of times to leave."
Which is why Stojanov became so emotional watching on at WIN Stadium when Ramsey scored two tries on debut last weekend against Canberra. Footage of Stojanov cheering on her boy, coupled with the half-time interview she granted Fox Sports, has received about as much airtime as Ramsey's highlights.Ramsey scored two tries against the Raiders and would have earned a hat-trick had Zac Lomax not been offside in the lead-up to a potential third.
Already Ramsey has earned a cult following. The Gymea Gorillas junior was the leading try-scorer in the NRL Nines, but a shoulder injury that required almost five months of rehab delayed his debut. He has been dubbed Bjorn because of his resemblance to tennis legend Bjorn Borg, although teammates have their own monikers for Ramsey: Ben Hunt calls him Praying Mantis, while Korbin Sims prefers Octopus.

Alignment of ‘fractured’ National Cabinet will buckle with hard decisions: Rex Patrick | Sky News AustraliaNational Cabinet has become “fractured” and its long-term prospects look like a “failure” according to Independent Senator Rex Patrick who says Australia is seeing an end of “alignment” across the federation.\n\n“We have a National Cabinet now that is quite fractured, it’s nothing like it was at the peak of COVID, we’re returning to federalism,” he told Sky News.\n\n“We’re seeing the prime minister have a go at Labor premiers, we’re seeing Labor premiers now pushing back on the prime minister.\n\n“I think we can successfully call the National Cabinet a failure in terms of a long-term prospect.”\n\nMr Patrick said National Cabinet worked well in the height of the pandemic but tough decisions on issues like cracking open borders and the cost of returning Australians home are on its doorstep.\n\n“Now all the hard decisions come, and we will not see alignment across the federation,” he said.\n\n“What’s happening today in relation to bringing people back to Australia we are seeing resistance, the states saying you’ve got to contribute.\n\n“We’re seeing the federal government saying no, we’re going to have a whole range of issues where we’re trying to deal with huge deficit, and there will be lots and lots of fighting from here on in.\n\n“It’s not going to look like a National Cabinet for very much longer.”
