About Jamie Pandaram
Jamie Pandaram is the newest addition to the Herald's league team. First plying his trade at community newspapers, he learned of the passion fans have for the game from grassroots level all the way to the NRL. Pandaram has won an Australian Suburban Newspaper Association award for his league coverage. "In my five years covering league, I have found that the best stories come from players who receive little to no publicity. They are out there, sitting on a ripping tale, just waiting to be asked." This season, as well as chasing the superstars and big issues, Pandaram will be shining a light on some of the small fish in the NRL pond.
