Community generosity shines for Jords' Big Freeze
Shirvo takes the icy plunge at Big Freeze 11 Community generosity outshone even the return of dual Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe in Claremont on Saturday as nearly $100,000 was raised for motor neurone disease during Jordan's DIY Big Freeze. Sporting legends united ahead of the Tigers' WAFL clash with Peel Thunder, braving torrential downpours before hitting the ice water to support local father Jordan Early. Mr Early was diagnosed with MND just five months ago, but the disease has already stolen his strength and part of his speech. 'I got weaker, I started to struggle with my speech, not as bad as it is now, but those were the first signs,' he said. Olympian Jayde Taylor goes down the slide.

The 42-year-old is a father to three young children, alongside partner Jo Moullin, including one who attends school alongside AFLW legend and current West Coast women's coach Daisy Pearce's twins.

'Sebby, their eldest son, goes to school with my twins, and it's an amazing community. To see Jo and Jords with everything they're going through with their three kids is pretty eye-opening, and I want to do everything I can to support them,' Pearce said ahead of the event.

'To see their generosity and their spirit to give what they can and to inspire people to do what they can to ensure future families don't go through what they are is so humbling.'

The 33-year-old wasn't fussed with the thick mud and rain, standing head and shoulders above the competition, collecting 28 disposals, six tackles and five clearances in a little more than a half of footy.

Naden fined as Tigers learn fate over khawd gesture
The NRL has issued Brent Naden with a breach notice over his social-media post taunting Canterbury, but opted against fining Wests Tigers players for their on-field khawd. Three days after the Tigers' emotion-fuelled win over the Bulldogs, the NRL issued a trio of players a formal warning on Wednesday morning. But the league opted against sanctioning the group, with confusion still reigning over the true meaning of the gesture made at Bulldogs supporters on Sunday. The khawd is known as an equivalent to 'flipping the bird' in the Arabic community, with Naden and brothers Samuela and Latu Fainu among the players involved. Debate raged since Monday over the offensiveness of the gesture, with NRL CEO Andrew Abdo admitting on Tuesday he also had to 'learn up' on the matter. 'The NRL has today issued Wests Tigers with a formal warning that relates to the on-field conduct of three Players on 3 August 2025, during round 22,' the NRL said in a statement. 'The NRL acknowledges that these actions caused, or had the potential to cause, offence to members of the NRL community.' Naden, though, is facing a fine from the NRL over a social media video that went viral on Sunday night. The former Canterbury centre appeared to film himself making the gesture and yelling 'f***ing Dogs' to the camera. 'The notice alleges that Naden's conduct following the Wests Tigers match on 3 August 2025 contravened the NRL Code of Conduct,' the NRL said. 'The player will have five days to respond to the breach notice.' The NRL's current policy means sanctions are not announced when a breach notice is handed down, but Naden is expected to face a fine over the incident. Matt Lodge copped a $5000 sanction for sticking up his middle finger at the crowd in the final round of 2021, while playing for the Warriors.
