Tane grew up in South Auckland watching the Warriors lose in every conceivable way and moved to Sydney chasing rugby league journalism in his early twenties. Eight seasons covering NRL for outlets across Australia and New Zealand, including three years embedded with a top-eight club's media team. He treats completion rate and ruck speed as the only stats that matter and writes accordingly. A weekend without rugby league is a weekend wasted. Particular interest in the under-rated Pacific edges and middle-third grunt that decides 80% of NRL games.
