Casualty ward: Tom Hazelton set to be out for three months, Josh Addo-Carr locked in for another year at the Eels
The Sharks have been dealt a major blow with towering prop forward Tom Hazelton set to be sidelined for the next three months following surgery on his sternoclavicular joint injury that he suffered against Manly earlier this month. Hazelton had surgery on Tuesday following several consultations with shoulder specialists, with the consistent prop suffering the collarbone injury when he landed awkwardly in a tackle back in round 10. The club expects him to be out for up to 12 weeks, although that will be offset by the return of experienced stars like Sione Katoa, Toby Rudolf and Teig Wilton in the coming rounds. Wishing Hazo a quick recovery ðŸ'™ This Sharks Medical Update is brought to you by @pilothealth1 — Cronulla Sharks (@cronullasharks) May 29, 2025 Meanwhile, the Eels have activated their option for Josh Addo-Carr to remain at the club in 2026. The flashy winger joined Parramatta this year after he was let go by the Bulldogs and has scored a team-high seven tries on the left wing despite missing the start of the season through suspension. 'Josh has been a popular addition to our club. From day one, he has embraced the Parramatta community and brought a real spark to our group,' Eels general manager of football Mark O'Neill said. 'The coaching staff have been impressed with his leadership on the field, particularly with our younger players. 'His passion and personality have had a positive effect across the organisation, and we're happy to have him with us for another season.'

Rachael Finch shows off her figure as she rocks skinny jeans while snapping selfies in a salon - after Gen Z declared the denim staple is out of style
Rachael Finch was embracing a sometimes maligned trend on Tuesday. The former Miss Universe runner-up was spotted working her angles in a pair of skin tight skinny jeans during an outing in a salon in Sydney 's Cronulla. She paired the sleek trousers with a black leather belt and tank top in the same dark tone. She completed the look with a pair of stacked white sneakers and opted for a natural makeup look. Rachael could be seen posing up a storm while her phone was attached to a glass door with a suction holder. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Skinny jeans had fallen out of favour in recent years, with Gen Z declaring them uncool and dated. But the tide appears to have changed in 2025, with many young influencers declaring the 2010s staple is back in vogue. It comes after Rachael shared a horrific message she received from an online hater, and hit back at the troll. She posted to Instagram on Monday to read out a brutal email she was sent via her supplement brand Kissed Earth. The message slammed the company for being 'boring' and accused Rachael of giving children Violet, nine, and Dominic, six, a 'life of boredom and misery'. 'Just wanted to know why this brand of product is any different or more effective than the millions that are already on the market,' the message began. 'It's just so boring. The market is well over-saturated, so what is your point of difference? Or is it that it is owned by a runner-up Miss Australia from 16 years ago?' 'Is that how she justifies her excessive price point? Also, what medical doctors were consulted in the development of the powdered oral range?' it continued. The hate message went on to say humans 'have existed and thrived on this planet for millions of years' without the help of 'gut tonics or turmeric enemas'. 'You are just the most boring and angular-faced woman on Australian TV,' they added. The troll then accused Rachael of making 'controversial statements online just to get people thinking' about the mother-of-two and her brand. 'People don't like you because your kids live a life of boredom and misery,' they said, referencing the gruelling exercise regime Rachel and her husband Michael Miziner have for their kids. 'They aren't having fun working out with their bats*** crazy mother on Christmas morning, that's for sure. 'Get a life and stop trying to ride on the tailcoats [sic] of a long forgotten title that, in the modern day, holds virtually no relevance as compared to 20 years ago.' They then said the Miss Universe pageant title Rachael once competed for is now seen as 'irrelevant, chauvinistic and boastful'. The message also took aim at her 2010 stint on Dancing With The Stars, saying the competition show was just 'satire'. 'Don't you get it? We're laughing at you, not for you. All of your accomplishments are decades old now,' they said. Rachael appeared to take the horrific and lengthy message in her stride, saying she 'felt sad' for the troll as they were 'clearly going through a lot of hurt'. 'But overarching this is a perfect example of why we need to teach our kids inner strength and resilience,' she added. Rachael said 'there is nothing more important' than teaching children how to 'believe in themselves' and 'back themselves' in the face of adversity. 'To recognise only their opinion matters and they do not need outside validation to determine who they are,' she said. Rachael finished the video by encouraging her followers to be a strong 'support base' for their children so they can build their confidence.

Footy bad boy Todd Carney's MAFS star wife reveals the shocking reason she wasn't turned off by his infamous act in a public toilet
Todd Carney's wife Susie Pearl says she wasn't shocked or repulsed when she found out her future husband was the man behind one of rugby league's most infamous photos. The 'bubbler' image, which showed Carney appearing to urinate into his own mouth in a Cronulla nightclub toilet, ended his NRL career in 2014. For many, it became a symbol of a wasted talent and a career derailed by alcohol. But for Pearl, it was just 'something dumb' she'd seen before. 'The only thing I knew (about Todd) was my partner's brother at the time had also done the bubbler,' she said. 'And I knew it was the same thing as the guy from football. Then when I realised who Todd was, it was the only two things I linked together. 'Well, I liked him instantly so no, it was not a turn-off. Who doesn't do that crap?' Carney's NRL career began in 2004 with the Canberra Raiders. But off-field issues, including a police chase in 2007, saw him sacked in 2008. The Sydney Roosters gave him another chance in 2010, where he won the Dally M Medal. Despite that high, Carney was again sacked in 2011 due to alcohol breaches. He later joined Cronulla and was again on the rise until the bubbler incident ended his career for good. Carney admitted he still feels shame about the photo, which went viral within hours. In his 2019 autobiography Hard Truth, he wrote, 'It was a stupid party trick, very tasteless and inappropriate.' He said the fallout hurt his family deeply, especially calling his mum and sisters to explain before it became national news. 'I was ashamed and embarrassed for myself, my family, the club and the game,' he wrote. Susie said the couple have had a rocky relationship but found strength in Carney's honesty. 'We haven't had a smooth go at all. His alcoholism ultimately led to us separating for a year,' she said. Susie said she never judged Carney for the bubbler and said it was just a stupid act, like we are all capable of 'Todd ended up taking himself to rehab, and if it wasn't for him admitting himself, we wouldn't be here today.' Carney now lives a quieter life on the Gold Coast. He works as a concreter and owns several properties and a tattoo parlour in Bali. He has maintained friendships with former teammates like Braith Anasta and Paul Gallen. 'Yes, I hurt fans, organisations and the businesses I was playing for, but the person I hurt most was myself,' he said. He still suffers anxiety in public toilets, fearing people will mock him. 'Every time I go to a public toilet, I find myself anxious that blokes will see me in there and take the mickey out of me,' Carney said. 'It made me who I am now,' he previously said. 'I've got a tattoo that says: 'Everything happens for a reason'. I believe it does.' Pearl, who rose to fame on Married At First Sight, believes many people don't see the real Todd. 'Todd, really in my opinion, is someone who is quite introverted,' she said. 'He is very well spoken and holds himself so well, especially in a professional situation. 'But the second he has to perform socially, he's obviously had his trouble with alcoholism and can be uneasy and introverted.' Their bond is stronger now, she says, because she sees what others don't. 'I'm lucky because I get to see all the sides of him, and I believe he's the best human in the world.'

Coates floats high above To'o in Maroons aerial threat
Leaping winger Xavier Coates has a 12 centimetre height advantage over opposite number Brian To'o which Queensland hopes will translate to a 12-point gain in the State of Origin season opener. Right winger Coates (194cm), a former high jump champion at school, has been hailed by Maroons and Melbourne teammate Harry Grant as an "aerial threat" of the highest order ahead of Wednesday night's Suncorp Stadium clash. Grant has also played down any concerns about his Storm coach Craig Bellamy working with NSW as an advisor to coach Laurie Daley. With tough as teak left winger To'o (182cm) not a renowned leaper, the scope is there for Queensland to send plenty of bombs in his direction. Noted Maroons bomb disposal expert Jeremiah Nanai is also set to line up in the second-row on the right edge to add to the advantage. Coates, 24, plays left wing for the Storm but is no stranger to playing on the other side of the field. "Xavier has a real aerial threat. A lot of people don't know he started on the right side of the field as a player and he changed to the left side of the field at Melbourne," Grant said. "He had to change his whole dynamic of competing and contesting kicks and learning how to jump off the opposite foot. "He is a real athlete in that sense. He knows his strengths and he just works on it extremely hard. He has done that for a number of years now so he has that in his back pocket. We look forward to seeing Xavier compete on those kicks." The Maroons put up plenty of bombs in the direction of Coates and Nanai in an opposed session against Sunshine Coast Falcons on Sunday. Grant acknowledged peppering To'o would be an option. "It could be a strength," he said. "There's plenty of players in their team that have got threats we have to shut down and we have guys in our team that we need to bring out. "(Bombing To'o) is definitely one part of it but you only get certain opportunities to do that in a game and we have to earn those opportunities through the style of footy we want to play." Bellamy, who coached the Blues to three consecutive series losses from 2008-2010 is back plotting the demise of Storm quartet Grant, Coates, Cameron Munster, Trent Loiero and the rest of the Maroons squad. "I haven't had any contact with Craig," Grant said. "I probably haven't thought about it too much. If I worry about what he is doing or what he is saying it will take too much attention away from my game and my team and the game on Wednesday night. I just need to worry about preparing well and performing well." Grant said he was fully fit after missing a month with a hamstring injury. "I got back for the Cronulla game (in round 11) and I am really confident in how I pulled up from that game," he said. " I went through a fair bit a few years ago with a hamstring injury and I have really learnt from that. "That was through the Origin period, so I definitely learnt from that. Maybe in 2021 I was surfing too much. I have focused on my body and made sure I'm alright for Wednesday night."
