Brett White from the Canberra Raiders, and his wife Cassie, welcomed their fourth child on January 17, and have named their son Joey Brett. Joey White was born at 4.45 pm, and joins older siblings Georgia, Jake and Colt.

Gerard Beale from the St George Illawarra Dragons, and his fiancee Roimata Ransfield, welcomed their son Nixon six weeks ago. Gerard notes that he is often asked (perhaps teasingly?) whether Nixon’s name has any reference to disgraced former US president Richard “Tricky Dicky” Nixon, but says he and Roimata just chose the name because they liked it. The name Nixon seems set to become another celebrity favourite.
