State of Origin star Angus Crichton's investment home sold for $3.135m
Only two weeks after the Sydney Roosters star walked down the aisle with Chloe Esegbona at the glamorous Krinklewood Estate, Angus Crichton has sold his Rose Bay semi for $635,000 over expectations.
Under the hammer at Cooley Auctions, the three-bedroom house on Onslow St achieved $3.135m despite a pre-auction goal of $2.5m through listing agent Alex Lyons of Raine & Horne Double Bay.

'We just had a lot of competition on it. Interest rates got cut on the day and we can see now that sentiment has really been improving in the market,' Mr Lyons said.
'I've done over $100 million worth of sales just this past week.'
The NRL and State of Origin champion decided to list the property prior to tying the knot with plans of upsizing the family home.
It's been a period of celebrations of late, on and off the field, with Crichton named yet again to don the blue jersey for the famous clash of the states.

According to title records, Crichton bought the 308sq m property at 73 Onslow St for $2.18m in 2018, and has most recently been collecting $1,650 per week in rent.

Australian heavyweight boxer Justis Huni has suffered the first loss of his professional career, getting knocked out when he was on track for victory on Sunday morning. Fighting Fabio Wardley in Ipswich in the UK, Huni was in control of the fight and ahead on the scorecards — on track for a 12th career win. But as the intensity lifted in the 10th round of the 12-round bout, Wardley landed a monster punch on Huni, sending the Australian falling backwards and down onto the canvas. It was a perfectly timed right hand that caught Huni flush on the chin. 'That is unbelievable,' the commentator exclaimed. 'Fabio Wardley, losing virtually every single round — oh my word.' Watch the Justis Huni KO in the video above The punch seriously hurt Huni and the referee stopped the fight after a somewhat brisk eight-count as Huni slowly got to his feet. Main Event commentator Ben Damon said on X: 'Heartbreak for Huni! Australia's Justis Huni was in complete control against Fabio Wardley when this happened.' OMG!!!!!! WARDLEY ERASES HUNI WITH ONE MASSIVE RIGHT HAND IN THE 10TH ROUND AND IT IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #boxing #WardleyHuni — Dan Rafael (@DanRafael1) June 7, 2025 The knockout blow secured the interim WBA heavyweight belt for Wardley and took the Brit's record to 19-0-1. But it was a heartbreaking loss for Huni, who now has a 12-1 record and will need to bounce back to keep his dream alive of being one the best heavyweight fighters in the world. Rubbing salt into the wound, Huni was ahead 89-82 89-82 88-83 on the judges' scorecards at the time of the stoppage. 'That's my curse,' Huni said after the loss.

He never gave up and he got the win. He deserved it.' 'Justis Huni's a great operator,' Wardley said. 'I should've performed better in some of those rounds. Sometimes that's the way it goes. We pulled one out of the bag. 'He's a great boxer. Great skills and he showed me everything he has tonight. He pulled out all sorts of tricks. I didn't expect to bank rounds like that with Justis.'

NRL SuperCoach live scores and analysis: Raiders vs Rabbitohs, Wests Tigers vs Panthers
Wests Tigers co-captain Api Koroisau says the club's new era can finally restart with young gun Latu Fainu ready to take his place in the side. Fainu's selection on the Tigers' bench for Sunday's game against Penrith comes as former teenage prodigy Lachlan Galvin will make his club debut for Canterbury. The 20-year-old will start off the bench with Heath Mason starting in the No.6. However, there is no doubting what the long-term plans are at five-eighth. 'Latu is the future at this club,' Koroisau said. 'He's still very young. He's definitely got to get some minutes in his legs as well. It's a really good thing to have.' While Fainu will be slowly brought back, Mason gets his second crack at the scrumbase alongside four-time premiership winner Jarome Luai. Mason impressed in last week's loss to North Queensland, ensuring coach Benji Marshall is loaded with some depth in the position. Koroisau conceded he was relieved to put the Galvin saga behind them. 'We have Heath Mason there at six and Latu coming back as well,'' he said. 'It's all about who we want to have with the personnel we have. 'Heath played so well so we can guarantee he's going to be there and he can always fill in as well. The best thing is, it's behind us now. 'We can focus on who we want to be, especially the guys that are in there now. 'It's a good problem for Benji.' Koroisau is dealing with his own positional battles as reserve hooker Tallyn Da Silva is set to test the market at the end of the year. While Koroisau is looking to re-sign, he sympathised with the rising hooker. 'I'd love to keep him here,'' he said. 'He's a great kid and I think he's a great player. 'You definitely want to play NRL and want to play more minutes. You can completely understand his point of view. It's just a hard place to be. 'From me to him, as long as you think you're doing the right thing for yourself and family and you're looking after you, that's the most important thing.' Despite drawing interest from other clubs, Koroisau has his sights firmly set on re-signing with the Tigers not only to end his playing career but for life after it. The 32-year-old, who is close with Marshall, has expressed interest in hanging around after playing to assist with the rebuild of the club. 'I'd love to finish my time at the Tigers and stay here for the rest of my career, that's the dream,' Koroisau said. 'It keeps me around the game especially for life after footy. 'It's always so up in the air and you don't really know what to do. I'd love to stay in the same environment. 'I love rugby league and I love the boys that I have created connections with so I would love to do that.''

Ange Postecoglou praised by Spurs captain Son Heung-min following sacking
Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min has penned an emotional tribute to Ange Postecoglou following the Australian's sacking as the club's manager. Spurs axed Postecoglou on Saturday morning AEST, just over two weeks after he guided his side to a 1-0 win against Manchester United in the Europa League final. The win in Bilbao last month ended a 17-year trophy drought for Spurs. The Australian was "relieved of his duties", with Spurs citing the club's poor results in the Premier League as the key reason behind the decision. They finished 17th out of 20 teams. Writing on Instagram, Son said Postecoglou deserved to be remembered as a Spurs great. "You've [Postecoglou] changed the trajectory of this club," Son wrote. "You believed in yourself, and us, since day one and never wavered for a second. Even when others did. "You knew what we were capable of all along. You did it your way. And your way brought this club the best night it's had in decades. We will have those memories for life. "You trusted me with the captaincy. One of the highest honours of my career. It's been an incredible privilege to learn from your leadership up close, I am a better player and a better person because of you. "Ange Postecoglou, you are a Tottenham Hotspur legend forever. Thank you, mate." England international James Maddison also praised Postecoglou for the contribution he made to Spurs. Maddison thanked the former Socceroos head coach for helping shape his career. "Your unwavering self-belief and strong mindset is infectious and a massive reason in why you were the man to end this club's 17-year drought for a trophy," Maddison wrote on Instagram. "A family man with great morals and I have honestly learnt so much from you. More than you will probably ever know. All the very best." In its statement announcing Postecoglou's departure, Spurs said the club could not base the "decision on emotions aligned" to the Europa League triumph. "It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond," the statement read. "This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. "We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision." Spurs said a decision on who would replace Postecoglou as manager would be "announced in due course".
