Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Mat Rogers equalled a club record for Cronulla with a hat-trick of tries and seven goals in the Australian side's 30-10 victory at Bradford Bulls last night.

Bradford, who have now lost all three home games, struck first when hooker James Lowes put Paul Loughlin over for a third-minute try.

But without the inspiration of injured skipper Robbie Paul, they lacked the creativity to break down a smart Cronulla defence until the last minute when Sonny Nickle forced his way over after the Sharks had been reduced to 12 men following the sin-binning of forward Nick Graham for dissent.
