SINGAPORE: By 1am on Monday, the Padang's concert stages are dark and the roar of Formula 1 engines has faded. But on the Marina Bay Street Circuit, another race against the clock has just begun.Mr Shiv Raj Panday and his technical crew have exactly four and a half hours to tear down parts of the track and reopen the roads to the public.

The much loved winger has an ‘unbelievable’ Roosters highlights reel but will soon cross codes again for the next rugby union chapter in Japan Mark Nawaqanitawase, the prime producer of NRL highlights, will soon be lost to rugby league at the age of just 26. His performances have been described as “freaky” and “ridiculous”, but he is due to return to rugby union as early as Saturday night, unless the Roosters can overcome Cronulla in their semi-final. To say Nawaqanitawase is much loved at Moore Park undersells the widespread affection for him.
