What a legend. And I'm talking about the cameraman, of course. He still got the shot perfectly in frame!

Latrell Mitchell cops massive new blow at hands of South Sydney teammate
Latrell Mitchell has an almighty fight on his hands to reclaim the fullback jersey for South Sydney, after a staggering performance from Jye Gray on Saturday night. Gray was best on-field as the Rabbitohs beat the Eels 20-16, taking them out of wooden spoon calculations. Gray had 27 runs for a whopping 221 metres, making six tackle-breaks, a line-break and a try assist. But it was his work on the defensive side of the ball that was most noteworthy. The Rabbitohs posted footage on Sunday of Gray's incredible field coverage on three-consecutive plays to deny Parramatta a try. Early in the second half, the diminutive fullback cut down the speedy Isaiah Iongi with a try-saving tackle when his opposite number looked destined to score. But not content with the brilliant tackle, Gray then raced across field and held Dylan Walker up close to the line on the very next play. Mitchell Moses then put in a grubber from 5m out on the next play, and once again it was Gray who was there to clean it up. "He is everywhere. I can't believe it," Steve Roach said in commentary for Fox League. "There must be two of him out there." But Gray wasn't finished. With two minutes remaining and the Eels trying to score the match-winning try, Iongi once again burst through the line and looked certain to score. But once again it was Gray who was there to cut him down with a stunning legs tackle, with the help of Tallis Duncan. View this post on Instagram A post shared by South Sydney Rabbitohs (@ssfcrabbitohs) Latrell Mitchell could be forced to switch permanently NRL fans were in awe of Gray's performance, with many saying it shows he should be the Rabbitohs' permanent fullback. Wayne Bennett usually prefers Mitchell in the No.1 jersey, but Gray was received plenty of playing time in 2025 due to injuries for Latrell. Mitchell made his return from a quad injury in the centres last week, before a pinched nerve in his back ruled him out of the Eels game. Bennett will be hard-pressed taking the fullback role off Gray even when Mitchell is back to full fitness. RELATED: Family first as Cameron Smith makes major career decision Brutal call made on Cherry-Evans before 350th game in NRL Leading commentator Andrew Voss wrote on social media on Sunday: "Not expecting Jye Gray to receive one of the existing awards at the Dally M's this year, but can we come up with one? Wouldn't be too many more admired players for 100% effort in the NRL." Voss pointed out that Gray will be a prime target for the new Perth Bears side once they enter the competition in 2027. If the Rabbitohs want to hold onto him, they might need to ask Mitchell to make a permanent switch to centre - where he's shined for NSW and Australia. Tellingly, a poll of over 50,000 Yahoo readers show the overwhelming majority believe Mitchell should be playing centre for Souths. The Rabbitohs have now won six out of 13 games this year when Gray starts at fullback, compared to two out of seven with Mitchell in the No.1 jumper. 'I just think Jye Gray, in that particular side, is the energiser bunny. I think he is a first-grader and his only position is fullback," Voss said on SEN radio. Social media is awash with calls from Rabbitohs fans for Mitchell to be shifted to centre permanently. Fans were blown away by Gray's display on Saturday night, and many believe Bennett has to keep him at fullback long-term. Jye just continues to amaze week in week out. Two of the best try saving tackles to finish the game a few nights ago. — oneonethreeinvesting (@113investing) August 17, 2025 I said at the start of the season Jye Gray Fullback. Latrell centre. — yoelmonaro (@yoelmonaro) August 16, 2025 South's fans, Latrell needs to find another position. Jye Gray is your fullback. Outstanding game from him tonight! — Duane Dowell (@DuaneDowell) August 16, 2025 You cannot move Jye Gray from fullback. Such an energiser bunny, and the threat Latrell can create at left centre is too good to refuse #NRLSouthsEels — Jay Keegan (@JayMK1994) August 16, 2025 Man jye gray is good. To think there was a time he was dropped so they could play Latrell there. — Emily (@Emilyrenee_13) August 16, 2025

'Skibidi' and 'tradwife': social media words added to Cambridge dictionary
Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu", and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher said Monday. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the plant. aks/jxb

Spider Gel Is The Coolest Nail Art Trend
We're always here for a product that makes creating cool nail art insanely easy. Because really, who wants to devote more than 30 minutes to their at-home manicure — or spend hours in a salon waiting for their artist to finish dotting on every last detail with a brush? So, when we found out about " spider gel," an innovative nail art formula sweeping Instagram (that requires almost no tools), we were immediately intrigued. "It gives you the straightest lines you've seen in your life," New York City-based nail artist Julie Kandalec says. "It looks like a really thick gel, and then when you put a little toothpick or something in it, you can draw out a string of the stuff, and drape the gel on the nail." A few strands later and your fingertips are transformed into works of modern art. At a time when nail art is typically about shimmer and bling, Kandalec loves this because it offers an alternative to the sparkly stuff. "This gives the option of a cleaner, more linear look," she says. But she does have one warning: This gel is best used on top of a gel manicure. "I feel like it won't last as long on top of just polish," Kandalec says. "Because you really should use a gel topcoat over it." Available in shades of black, red, gold, silver and more (for $7.95 a pop), consider spider gel the ultimate upgrade to your gel mani. Check out our favourite takes on the trend, and all the ways artists are using it.
