The NRL is feisty and ferocious at the best of times with crunching tackles all over the pitch, but that is part and parcel of the game.
Although someone probably ought to have reminded Latrell Mitchell after he lost his cool in South Sydney Rabbitoh’s 28-12 Magic Round victory over the Melbourne Strom last weekend.
Mitchell clashed with Harry Storm when he was rather clumsy trying to take a catch, as he extended his knee into Storm’s back, which seemed to constitute reckless play.
But what followed next was remarkable and somewhat contentious as Mitchell emerged from the tackle by lashing out, striking Storm twice in the head. However, he escaped punishment from the on field match official.
Given the nature of Mitchell’s reaction, it seemed almost mystifying that he wasn’t sin-binned, let alone given a talking to. Oh, and there was no penalty awarded either.
This has led those in the NRL community, most notably journalists, suggesting that Mitchell was given favouritism by the referee, who seemed to be rather lenient with his decision-making.
One reporter, Paul Crawley, went further, and he suggested referees are worried about Mitchell, who seems to be “above the law”.
In a rather telling set of comments, he said: “I reckon it was almost a sin bin. It certainly wasn’t a classic punch but it warranted at the very least a reprimand.
“But to hear match referee Adam Gee say it was play and not penalise Mitchell for his total over-reaction was extraordinary.
“Fans from rival teams have a right to know why it seems Mitchell is above the law. This is where the lack of consistency makes the fans so angry.”
Like with most other sports, NRL matches are always decided on fine margins, especially in the upper reaches of the table when reaching the playoffs or Grand Final is at stake. Although the Rabbitohs benefitted from a refereeing decision, it didn’t impact the result in the context of their match, and they are likely to contend come the end of the season.
The Rabbitohs are the most successful teams in NRL Premiership history, and it is no surprise to see they are getting a lot of backing from plenty of top NRL online betting sites. That includes Unibet, who have priced the Rabbitohs at 7/2 just behind Penrith Panthers at 13/4 to lift the title come the end of the campaign. Unibet will also have a raft of tasty pre-match odds for bettors to tuck into ahead of each game.
While no NRL game is immune to controversy, there will have been a few Storm fans raging. As far as Mitchell is concerned, he will have to tread a line, although referees will need to stand up to him in the future and lay down the law.

In 2016, ELIAS KACAVAS was accepted to the American University as an undergraduate medical student, hoping to one day become an orthopedic surgeon. He had no idea this was the first step to preparing for a career in showbiz.
While making the decision for his future, Elias recounted that his genuine interest and passion was acting; and thus, he confronted his family. “I had a conversation with my dad and said I am a performer. I don’t necessarily have anything to back it up, but I know that I am one,” said Elias.
Dropping out of a college program to pursue a dream, rather, following your God-given instincts is a talent in itself. Of those gritty and down-to-earth actors, Kacavas would do whatever it takes to make his voice heard. For some people, it can be perceived as arrogance, but for others, it’s a sign of harmony. His insatiable desire makes him yearn like a drop of water in Death Valley. We all emerge from adolescence with habits and behaviors that are very much in the realm of sophistication. But this ingenue is not just another manufactured product of the system. He has depth, stature, and character that nobody will ever take away from him.
The type of vulnerability that allows them to come forward without even knowing they’re there… It’s been far too long since Hollywood has witnessed a young tour de force like KACAVAS. In his spirit, he has passion and purpose substantiated by hunger. His performance in Euphoria remains one of the most talked-about episodes in the history of HBO. Let’s be honest. It’s extremely difficult to detach from Zendaya’s innate capacity to push a narrative. She literally breaks the internet with her allure and artistry. However, this time around, Kacavas longs to be greater, embracing a side many shy away from, playing a curious young man’s coming of age story. Finally, a methodical player who devotes himself to work and expresses raw emotion. He delves deeper on a journey to inspire. It’s what many refer to as je ne sais quoi. The connection between his voice and the content is genuine. It produces eloquence.
From Young Cal on Euphoria to Greg on HBO Max’s Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, the 24-year-old actor from Manchester, New Hampshire, craves to immerse himself into dramatis personae. Kacavas, living his dream with the intention, is a forever New York actor.
The newly appointed PLL’s cast member was tapped to become a part of the iconic franchise, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3. On the cusp of its September release, Elias was beguiled. Mostly due to its filming in Greece; he was rooted in Greek heritage. He used the occasion to hone his native language.
All in all, it’s refreshing to be in communication with someone who has taken the road less traveled without reservation.
Listen to Young Dylan’s 360 MAG Podcast with VaughnHERE.
Rapper/actor Dylan Gilmer has taken the entertainment industry by storm. Known by his stage name of “Young Dylan,” at the mere age of thirteen years old he has accomplished triumphs that resembles that of long-term professionals in the business. 360 sat down to chat with Dylan about his rapping and acting career, and what exactly we can expect to see from him in the future.
Young Dylan was first noticed at six-years-old when a video of his rapping skills went viral. Soon after, he was brought to ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ at age seven to showcase his rapping talent on a widespread scale. At such a young age, Young Dylan captivated his audience and drew them in with his charming rap talent while performing DJ Khaled’s “For Free.”
His later amassed fame came from his performances on Season 14 of ‘America’s Got Talent.’ At only ten years old, Young Dylan rapped advanced tracks from popular rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar that allowed him to display his impeccable musical rhythm and flow. Since he gained widespread critical acclaim, Young Dylan has made several appearances back where he got his early beginning into the industry on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show.’
He attributes his rapping skills back to cherished moments with his father growing up. “Ever since I was a baby, he’d be playing music in the car… I have great memorization, I remembered the beats, the lyrics, just like I do with my lines.”
Young Dylan’s apparent natural confidence in performing is one of his most recognizable and admirable traits. When asked about how he transforms himself to become Young Dylan on stage, he attributes everything to energy.
Dylan gets his pre- nerve jitters out by stepping on stage confidently and giving each performance his all. Once the curtains open and he starts performing, “Voila! The butterflies are gone, my heart is pumping, a good pumping, I’m getting the crowd lit, everything like that!” He explains the energy that the crowd gives him is his fuel for his vibe while taking the stage.
Continuing his career with such early success, Dylan has only continued to blossom into a well-versed working young professional. Popularly starring on ‘Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan’ on Nickelodeon as Young Dylan, the show follows the story of the Young Dylan character’s hip-hop career and personal life.
Immersed in the Nickelodeon world, Young Dylan also co-hosts Nickelodeon’s ‘NFL Slimetime’ with Nate Burleson. Young Dylan spoke about how much he’s learned from Nate while working together on the project and how it’s been “great working with him, on set and off of set.”
Young Dylan launched his career into new heights after landing his co-host spot on ‘The Kids Tonight Show,’ which just so happens to be executively produced by the host of the original tonight show, Jimmy Fallon. Dylan recalls the leadup to this experience and how he landed such a stellar roll. “It was my last day of school, I was laying on my floor just watching TikTok’s, stuff like that, and my father calls me out of nowhere and says, ‘You need to get on the Zoom! I forgot all about it, you need to get on the Zoom!’”
On this Zoom call, Young Dylan got to chat with his future kid co-stars and the rest of the team with the show. The producers absolutely fell in love with the relatability and transparency that allows viewers to connect with Dylan. “I felt like I was supposed to be on that show,” Young Dylan says about ‘The Kid Tonight Show,’ and we couldn’t agree more.
Dylan made sure to mention how all the kids working on the project possess innovative qualities that contribute to the success of the show. “I think we all bring something different to the show, and that’s what I really like about them, and that’s what I really liked about the show.” Working alongside his co-hosts Mykal-Michelle Harris, Olivia Perez and Recker Eans, Young Dylan raved about the chemistry that they all had working together. Stepping into some big shoes to fill from the acclaimed Jimmy Fallon, Young Dylan and his co-hosts are swiftly keeping up with the kid-friendly spin off just fine.
Originally from Annapolis, Maryland, he still resides in the city with big dreams to move to a major city in the new few years. “I travel a lot to Atlanta, New York, Cali. So, I’m hoping to move to one of those states by 15.”
At the forefront of Young Dylan’s mission is giving back to the community. “I just want to be there for my community, and I always want to have Annapolis, Maryland in my heart… most people don’t know what Annapolis is… I want to be the person to make Annapolis well-known, and I feel like I can do that.”
Amidst the ongoing duration of the pandemic, Young Dylan has been able to appreciate the blessings that he has received regarding the advancement of his career. While going through quarantine, he recalls how he had the time to analyze how strained he was, and how he got through this with help from his support system.
“Quarantine, for me, taught me a lot of things. I was really stressed out at one point balancing school, acting, rapping; all of that. You know, you just have to have a great support system.”
Young Dylan credits his success and motivation to the help he receives from his strong support system. He explains how without having the support of the people around him, he wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what he has thus far. He encourages fans that are going through tough times to find those people around them that they feel comfortable to talk to and can confide in.
In terms of giving back, Young Dylan has never been shied to fighting for causes that he believes in. Throughout the duration of the pandemic and the first quarantine, Young Dylan made it one of his priorities to help out where he could.
“During quarantine I was giving food to hospitals, people that were still working during the pandemic.” Having found joy in helping those who needed it most during the pandemic, giving back is now at the heart of Young Dylan’s mission.
We can expect a lot more to come from Young Dylan in the next few years. Aside from recently landing a spot as a host on ‘The Kids Tonight Show,’ Young Dylan has recently signed with Puma and is planning to release his very own mixtape this summer.
His partnership with Puma has allowed him to grow and see new sides to business endeavors he hasn’t witnessed thus far. Concerning the excitement around his new deal with Puma, Young Dylan raved, “I was like, ‘WOW, I’m getting a deal with Puma? PUMA?’”
In regards to his highly anticipated mixtape, Young Dylan told 360 that it would consist of eight clean tracks that kids will be able to admire. He aims to make kid-friendly hip-hop/rap inspired pieces that are still as hype and innovative as modern-day explicit pieces we see from older rap stars.
“We can bring clean music but also be as lit as the other songs that have cursing, but just clean!” Young Dylan has been working on this project for quite some time and has made sure that each track is perfected to his standards. “You can definitely see we put a lot of work in on this mixtape that is coming out this summer. It’s gonna be lit!”
As such a prominent child star, Young Dylan has some advice to give to younger children, or anyone that has a dream to have a career just like him: “never give up, if you have a dream, chase it man, don’t let anyone stop you.”
Young Dylan preaches to maintain a humble mindset, and never get too cocky with yourself. He encourages us all to “always be yourself, always be dripped out, and when you step in a room, shine your light.”
This or That with Young Dylan
Football or basketball…basketball, because of the rich cultural influence and abundance of fans that the game has over football.
Hamburgers or hotdogs… hamburgers.
Pizza or hot wings… hot wings, they’re one of Young Dylan’s top ten favorite foods!
Rapping or singing… rapping, Young Dylan indulges in rapping more than singing.
Television or film… television.
Scripted or improv pieces… scripted pieces allow Young Dylan to pick up scripts quicker and add his personal flare to them.
Now visible state-to-state are the unseen writers’ of TV and Film on strike. Big businesses somehow forgot the importance of respect, safety, fair wages, and health insurance. The Writers Guild of America union is steadily trying to negotiate a reasonable contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The writers are in unison, delivering a strong message, as streaming companies are flowing in like the Dakota River. This new world of television and film is still at a stand still. Writers of all backgrounds are coming together to fight another day, as they chant in droves. “You can’t spell TV without writers.”

Rolls-Royce unveils Ghost ‘Champagne Rose’ – a pure expression of individuality finished in a single Bespoke colorway
Champagne Rose Signature Bespoke hue developed specially and reserved exclusively for the client
A one-off commission conceived as the ultimate personal statement to celebrate the client’s artistic success
Design inspired by client’s digital persona – @ChampagneRose
Bespoke interpretation of a rose motif on the waterfall and rose-inspired embroidery on the picnic tables
Bespoke ‘Champagne Rose’ Starlight Headliner took more than 60 hours to create
Commission presented to the client at a private Miami event
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars reveals Ghost ‘Champagne Rose,’ a magnificent Bespoke commission highlighting Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective’s mastery of color. Commissioned by the self-made musician from South Florida, this Bespoke creation takes its name and inspiration from the client’s digital persona, @ChampagneRose. The client challenged the Bespoke Collective to capture her personality with a Bespoke signature color, reserved exclusively for her use.
The journey began with the client spending four days viewing, inspecting, and driving the entire Rolls‑Royce model family to select the one that would best suit her eclectic lifestyle. She chose Ghost as a motor car she could both enjoy driving herself and being chauffeured in, offering a pure canvas for celebration of her success.
Executed on nearly every surface of this unique commission, the ‘Champagne Rose’ Bespoke color presented the team with an opportunity to accentuate Ghost’s pure, minimalist design. The ‘Champagne Rose’ exterior with a Crystal finish produces an elegant, shimmering effect, highlighted with a single hand-painted coachline featuring a ‘Champagne Rose’ inscription. Matching wheel centers and single pinstripes complete the exterior finish.
A LABOR OF LOVE
The monochromatic interior continues to immerse the passengers in a daring splash of color, with the ‘Champagne Rose’ leather trim providing a contrast to the Piano Black veneers, black piping, and the interlinked RR monogram on the headrests. Specialists from the Interior Trim Centre at Goodwood spent six months developing a Bespoke ‘Champagne Rose’ leather hue to perfectly match the exterior. Rigorous sun-simulation testing will ensure the color remains consistent over time in the Florida climate. The interior palette is completed with lambswool carpets, also in ‘Champagne Rose.’
Creating a single-tone colorway at the level of perfection expected from the Bespoke Collective is a highly complex undertaking. Because materials absorb and reflect light in their own way, the human eye will perceive slight variations if the same color is applied to different surfaces. To ensure the consistency of the color experience within the car, the Bespoke Collective, therefore, had to develop numerous formulations of the ‘Champagne Rose’ hue, each subtly adjusted
ROSE MOTIF
To celebrate the personality of the client, the rear seat waterfall is adorned with a delicate rose motif. To ensure the design was exactly in accordance with the client’s wishes, the Interior Surface Centre experts spent several days experimenting with prototypes. The final design is created by combining multiple coats of paint and lacquer in a process that took over 14 hours to complete. The rose motif continues in the embroidery on the back of the picnic tables, each created with 5,500 individual stitches and representing over 30 hours of collective work.
The rose motif also appears on the Bespoke Starlight Headliner. Created by particular positioning of 482 from the 1,132 fiber-optic ‘stars’, this beautiful expression of the client’s persona took over 60 hours to design. Unique Bespoke backlit treadplates in the Champagne Rose color complete this exceptional commission.
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
Launched in the fall of 2020, Ghost provides Rolls-Royce patrons around the world with the ultimate blank canvas for expression of their individuality through Bespoke personalization. Its infinite potential is as boundless as an owner’s limitless imagination and, over past years, Rolls-Royce has encapsulated clients’ visions in the most extraordinary Ghost commissions, representing the full bandwidth of Bespoke craftsmanship. Clients’ imaginations and the unparalleled skills of the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective continue to push boundaries of creativity for Ghost.
To test Bremont’s manufactured movement series, the ENG300, the luxury British watchmaker, created a concept test instrument to put it through the most extreme testing environment, equaling that of fighter ejection seat technology. Enlisting the support of renowned British aviation company Martin-Baker it would have to be designed, developed, and built to endure anything a pilot might and more. The test instrument that was developed captured the imagination of both Bremont and Martin-Baker who have subsequently decided to launch it in its own right, and so was born the Limited-Edition MB Viper, a lightweight model crafted from titanium and anodized aluminum.
Pushing boundaries to understand the true performance potential of Bremont’s ENG300 movement, the ultimate challenge had to involve putting it through the rigorous schedule of environment testing conditions. that Martin-Baker deploys across its suite of fighter ejection seats. This included Live Ejection Testing, Zoom Temperature Climb Testing, Extreme Temperature Endurance, High Altitude Testing and Salt Fog Testing. To this end, Bremont initially developed a functional and minimal casing housing a shock isolating mount that could be fixed to the cockpit ‘dashboard’ of a Martin-Baker live ejection ‘simulator’. The test instrument was then developed further with the addition of forged carbon fiber lugs so that it could be affixed to an ejection manikin. Most importantly, the movement, protected by Bremont’s patented Anti-Shock movement mount, passed with flying colors and maintained impeccable time.
Developing the concept model into a limited edition piece is an exciting proposition that will undoubtedly appeal to collector’s interested in something unique with real testing credibility behind it. The MB Viper is notably the first model in Bremont’s iconic Martin-Baker range to house an ENG300 movement which is visible through its flat exhibition case back. The 43.5mm matte DLC Grade 5 titanium case employs a protective carbon coating and features an anodized 6082 aluminum case middle. Limited to only 300 pieces, the MB Viper not only showcases a different design direction for Bremont but is a true embodiment and representation of what the brand has achieved in its design, engineering, and manufacture.
The self-winding ENG352 caliber boasts a 65-hour power reserve with silicon escape wheel, free sprung hairspring with inertia weight timed balance and KIF shock protection. The movement features rhodium plated bridges with a gold-plated automatic bridge and is encased by Bremont’s trusted rubberized Anti- Shock mount that was developed back in 2009 when the brand first started working with Martin-Baker.
The vibrant orange anodized aluminum case middle is secured with 4 corner Torx® screws and encircles the highly legible white dial with a seconds track. Hours are marked on the dial ring with green emission Super-LumiNova® along with the tips of the chevron-decorated hands whose pattern nods to the signature ejection pull handles seen on fighter ejection seats. This particular feature was actually inspired by some of the very early unreleased MB prototype designs and unlike all other MB models, the MB Viper features a different seconds hand, mimicking that which was used on the test instrument. The tactile matte black lugs, which taper towards the screw down crown, have pockets machined into the rear of them to further reduce weight. Completing the look, the MB Viper comes with two canvas straps, one orange and one black.
Bremont Co-Founder Nick English comments: “When Martin-Baker first approached us in Bremont’s very early days, it wasn’t a branding exercise, it was with a vision of creating the definitive aviation watch. The testing that they could offer was something previously untried or tested in this industry, it was entirely unparalleled. It’s truly remarkable what these mechanical timepieces can actually withstand. For me it really is the ultimate pilot’s watch and it’s exciting to still be testing the boundaries of the possible with such an innovative and technically excellent British business at the center of aeronautical and military engineering.
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created together, and interestingly, much of the Bremont MB Viper testing was carried out in conjunction with the Martin-Baker Mk18 seat in the Korean KFX Fighter ejection test program. The Mk18 seat can also be found in other fighter aircraft like the F-16 ‘Viper’. This new limited edition is pioneering for Bremont with its use of the ENG352 movement, and it’s a timepiece we are incredibly proud of. It really is tested beyond endurance.”
Dating back to 2009, Bremont’s partnership with Martin-Baker truly gave birth to a new generation of pilot’s watch, the Bremont MB. The MB Collection remains to this day the only mechanical timepieces to have undergone and withstood the rigors of live ejection seat launches. Martin-Baker, the British aviation company responsible for supplying over 70% of the western world’s Air Forces with fighter ejection seat technology, is at the very pinnacle of British engineering and innovation; the now iconic Bremont MB range has redefined the aviation watch world. Never has a mechanical watch gone through such extensive testing.
Andrew Martin, Business Development Director and grandson of Sir James Martin, Co-Founder of Martin-Baker, comments: “This is a relationship which has continued to flourish for more than 15 years. It’s a relationship built on a shared passion for engineering excellence and British innovation. I simply cannot think of another timepiece that has been subjected to this such a draconian testing schedule and pass with flying colors. It is truly exciting what can now be achieved in this country in horology. We all have a lot to be proud of.”
