Eddie Jones (left) and Rugby Australia's insistence on attacking NRL players has taken a 'debacle' because they aren't 'looking after their own', according to a respected manager. A number of players in the 15-man game are'sick of seeing' NRL players targeted to change codes,' according to David Rawlings, whose management company looks after union players like Tom Wright and Jack Maddocks. When Jones was announced as the new Wallabies coach in January, he made it no secret that he would be targeting NRL players who had been playing union as juniors, such as Roosters superstar Joseph Sua'ali'i (inset) and Rabbitohs captain Cameron Murray.

All the Changes the "Daisy Jones & The Six" TV Show Has Made to the Book So Far

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 4, 2023
Book adaptations have spawned some of the most popular movies and television shows of all time, and Amazon Prime Video's latest series "Daisy Jones & The Six" is expected to be the next one. The show is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's hit book, which follows the titular rock band, which is fictional but is inspired by some of music's most popular groups. On March 3rd, the first three episodes were announced on YouTube, and readers would no doubt be surprised by how much the show has evolved from the book that inspired it. Following Billy Dunne's meteoric rise and fall (Sam Claflin), Daisy Jones (Riley Keough), Camila Dunne (Camila Marone), Graham Dunne (Camila Marone), Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse), and company, the main story is also intact. However, there are some major differences in how they get to the top, how things fell apart, and where they land. "If the book is my child, the version is my grandchild," Reid said on Instagram before the premiere. Of course, the layout is the most significant change the show makes from the book. The book is based on a fake oral history, and every individual has different interpretations of the events. The show features clips from a "Behind the Music"-style documentary, but it is mainly told through the events of the 1970s.
