The 29-year-old announced the news on Thursday night, securing a three year deal to return to the Warriors Rugby League team after this year’s Super Rugby season with the Blues reports Tagata Pasifika.

“Out of respect for the Blues, my team-mates, coaches and of course the fans, I’m not going into too much detail about my next move,” he says.

When men can't have children, they suffer in silence

Last month it was revealed sperm concentrations in Western men have declined by more than 50 per cent over the past 40 years — with diet and environmental influences possibly to blame.

Births to older moms rise as teen birth rate drops

The one thing missing: a baby.

Stacie Krajchir-Tom spent her 20s learning the ropes as a television producer and her 30s building her powerhouse career. By the time she reached her 40s, she was ready to start a family.

A history of Mother's Day: From campaigns for peace to cards, flowers and family reunions

Mother's Day has long been a part of the Australian calendar, but where did the idea to dedicate the second Sunday in May to honouring motherhood come from?

The modern Australian celebration of Mother's Day actually grew out of calls for peace and anti-war campaigns following the American Civil War (1861-65).

What's at stake for older dads?

Despite growing awareness of in-vitro fertilization and aging mothers -- such as Janet Jackson, who gave birth last month at 50 -- some of the science and social impacts of aging fathers are less clear. But that isn't deterring hopeful dads from growing their families.

Parents urged to pay attention to ‘your children’

It has been observed that Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in children is released in a manner directly proportional to the amount of caring attention the child receives.

If you’ve said she/he just wants attention, that statement is correct, because a child just wants attention and she/he legitimately needs it, as stated by Raising Small Souls.

But in this day and age, parents’ attention is diverted away from the children, set off by many things in their lives.

Parents miss out on what counts as important in the lives of the children.
