Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters Preview

The Dolphins enter their first preliminary final after a week off, while the Roosters arrive in Brisbane with momentum from a commanding 46-10 win over Cronulla. Sydney led 18-10 at half-time before scoring five tries after the break, with James Tedesco producing 161 run metres and 11 tackle breaks and Mark Nawaqanitawase crossing twice. The Dolphins earned this home final by beating the Warriors 26-16 in the opening week and have won their past 13 night matches. That record, together with the Suncorp Stadium setting and extra recovery, gives the hosts a sound platform. Sydney’s experience and renewed attacking fluency make this dangerous, particularly if its quick shifts test the Dolphins’ edges. However, the Dolphins’ consistency in night football and capacity to control the middle should help them withstand a confident Roosters challenge.

Christian Eriksen has left Wolfsburg by mutual consent, just over three months after collapsing during Denmark’s friendly with Ukraine.

The former Manchester United midfielder’s contract with the German second-tier side had been scheduled to run until June 2027.

Eriksen, 34, had previously suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s opening European Championship group match against Finland in Copenhagen in 2021.

“At the moment, it is important for me to be close to my family in Denmark. I’m pleased that we were able to find a solution together,” Eriksen said.

“My time in Wolfsburg was marked by many highs and lows. I know that the club is now in good hands as it aims to make its way back to the Bundesliga, and I am convinced that a successful future lies ahead.”

Eriksen, who has not played since June, joined Wolfsburg as a free agent a year ago after leaving Manchester United and made 34 appearances for the club.

The 151-cap international has previously played for Ajax, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Brentford.

In a statement, Wolfsburg’s managing director for sport, Dieter Hecking, said: “It was clear that the decision about his future had to be Christian’s.

“We wanted to give him that freedom in this particular situation and have now agreed to his request to terminate the contract.

“Despite his short time here, he has left a lasting impression on his team-mates, our staff and the fans.”

How Kalshi cricket prediction markets work

Kalshi is a prediction markets site that offers Yes/No event contracts with clearly defined rules about how the contract settles. You purchase shares of an outcome at a given price (between $0.01 and $0.99) and if you’re correct, those shares then pay out at $1.00 per share. 

For example, if you thought India was going to win a T20 International against England, you could purchase shares on India to win for $0.51 per share. If you bought 100 shares saying India will win for $0.51, you’ll earn $100 if India does win their match.

The 2026 Akwa Ibom State Sports Festival has officially begun, with Governor Umo Eno calling on athletes from the 31 Local Government Areas to compete fairly and make the most of the opportunity.

Governor Eno, represented by his Deputy, Senator Akon Eyakenyi, declared the second edition of the festival open on Tuesday, September 22, at the Uyo Township Stadium.

The Governor said the festival was important to his administration because of its role in discovering young talents, developing athletes and giving youths the opportunity to compete at a higher level.

He said the success of the first edition had already produced positive results, with several Akwa Ibom athletes going on to win medals at national, African and international competitions.

Among those mentioned were Edidiong Umoafia and Ruth Nyong, who excelled in weightlifting, Enku Ekuta in judo, Jacinta Lawrence in athletics and Samuel Cosmos at the NDDC Games.

Governor Eno also announced plans to revive inter-house sports in schools and colleges across the state.

He said construction work would soon begin fully at the State Sports Academy in Eket, describing the project as a legacy that would help develop athletes discovered through competitions such as the state sports festival.

The Governor also praised Local Government Chairmen and Supervisors of Sports for supporting the festival, particularly during the Unity Torch relay across the 31 LGAs.

He urged all participants to uphold the spirit of unity and sportsmanship throughout the competition.

Earlier, the Commissioner for Sports and Chairman of the Interministerial Organising Committee, Elder Paul Bassey, thanked Governor Eno for his investment in sports development.

He highlighted the creation of a standalone Ministry of Sports, provision of sporting equipment, rewards and allowances for medal-winning athletes, as well as the employment of three outstanding athletes: Edidiong Umoafia, Ruth Nyong and Enku Ekuta.

Bassey expressed confidence that the 2026 festival would help discover more talents and further improve sports in Akwa Ibom State.

The opening ceremony also featured the Oath of Allegiance by athletes and officials, goodwill messages from ALGON and Supervisors of Sports, and a colourful march past by contingents from all 31 Local Government Areas.

The festival will bring together athletes competing across various sporting disciplines as Akwa Ibom continues its search for the next generation of sporting talents.

Casemiro, who left Manchester United in the summer, is in the red with his business venture

Former Manchester United ace Casemiro has suffered a financial blow through his esports enterprise.

Over the past two financial years, Casemiro’s company has racked up nearly £1million in deficits. According to the latest financial statements, the Brazilian midfielder’s video game organisation, Casemiro Sports Brasil SLU, closed the 2025 financial year with a loss of €202,374 (£173,903).

This shortfall follows a heavy deficit of €842,900 (£724,317) recorded in 2024, bringing the venture’s total combined losses over the last two financial periods to roughly €1.05m (£902,280).

The financial slump comes despite the organisation, known commercially as Case Esports, scaling back its Spanish footprint. The business ceased its operational activity in Spain in 2024 to pivot its core focus toward the Brazilian market.

As a direct result of winding down its Spanish branch, Case Esports recorded zero core operational revenue in 2025, down from €90,345 (£77,634) generated the previous year.

The company did, however, book €52,800 (£45,371) under “other operating income” – more than triple the figure from 2024 – though the annual accounts provided no further details regarding the source of this revenue stream.

Expenditures for the outfit remained high relative to income, driven largely by ongoing staffing obligations. Personnel costs for 2025 stood at €187,517 (£161,136) to maintain a team of two employees still retained by the company in Spain.

While this represents a significant reduction from the €460,172 (£395,432) spent on staff in 2024, it continues to drag on the company’s bottom line. Conversely, the “other operating expenses” line item saw a sharp decrease, dropping from €413,223 (£355,088) to €10,656 (£9,157).

The latest accounts highlight a challenging trajectory for the venture since its inception. Casemiro established the company in 2020 with the initial ambition of breaking even within a year. However, the business ended its operational run in Spain with cumulative losses of more than €7m (£6m), which have had to be continually covered through financial contributions from its members.

On the balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, total assets for Casemiro Sports Brasil SLU stood at €1.5m (£1.29m), a 3.5 per cent increase year-on-year. This included tangible fixed assets of roughly €750,000 (£645,000) and trade receivables of €475,831 (£408,888).

Total equity was reported at €121,540 (£104,441), comprising registered capital of €3,000 (£2,578) accumulated prior-year losses of €6.75m (£5.80m), and capital contributions from shareholders exceeding €7m (£6m). Current liabilities remained high at just under €1.4m (£1.2m), with short-term debts exceeding €1.5m (£1.29m) and trade payables accounting for €164,664 (£141,498).

Despite his business’ financial trouble, the losses are unlikely to cause Casemiro too many sleepless nights given the fortune he has amassed during his playing career. The midfielder was reportedly earning around £350,000 a week during his time at United, meaning the latest £174,000 annual loss represents roughly half of a single week’s wages.

Casemiro spent four seasons at Old Trafford. He joined from Real Madrid in 2022 and went on to make 160 appearances for the club, scoring 26 goals. He left at the end of the 2025/26 campaign following the expiration of his contract and subsequently joined Inter Miami.

Despite the fact his playing career appears far from over, the Brazilian continues to manage his portfolio outside of football. In addition to his esports team, the 34-year-old acquired a stake in Spanish club Marbella FC in June 2024, joining the Andalusian side as a shareholder.

The New York Giants‘ fears have been realized. Quarterback Jaxson Dart is expected to undergo knee surgery that will end his 2026 season, according to NFL Network. The report adds that Dart’s ACL is intact, but ESPN also reported that the second-year signal-caller suffered damage to his MCL, PCL, and meniscus. The meniscus is reported to be the main issue. 

Dart suffered the injury on the first drive of the night in New York’s Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. The former first-round pick was hit by multiple defenders while in the air, and his knee bent awkwardly. Initially, it was thought Dart’s injury was not as severe, with reports suggesting he sprained his MCL. 

Upon further review of the injury, however, it was worse than initially diagnosed.

Starting 12 games as a rookie after being the No. 25 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Dart entered this season as the full-time starter, and New York was eyed as a potential breakout team with John Harbaugh as head coach. The club furthered that offseason hype when it defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the season opener. In that game, Dart completed 79.3% of his passes for 230 yards and three passing touchdowns. Now, the 2026 season is viewed through a much different lens. 

With him on the shelf, the Giants will likely turn to Jameis Winston as their starter going forward. While coming in under duress on Monday night against the Rams, Winston completed 11-of-27 passes for 111 yards and an interception. 

That sharpens the stark contrast in what the play under center has looked like for New York over the last two seasons, with and without Dart. 

Over the next month-plus, the Giants will host the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, and then the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4 before heading to Washington to face the Commanders (who lost their starter in Jayden Daniels) in Week 5. They’ll return to MetLife Stadium for a Week 6 matchup against the Saints, then travel to Houston to face the Texans in Week 6 before their Week 7 bye.
