1. Some tight games in the NRL. The errors from Canberra at the end were appalling. Matt Orford is possibly the worst buy of the year so far. His error rate is staggering. Worst kicking game in the NRL. Sharks back to their usual soft tricks. Panthers better but still losing. Roosters finally click. Tigers in trouble with injuries. Manly not good on Friday nights and Souths look semi good but are still not fit enough to win the thing.
2. Luke Burt. Great kick on the siren. Beats Brett Kenny's record which is hard to fathom based on his ability in comparison. Kenny had a few other blokes who also scored points (Cronin, Ella, Grothe, Sterling), but Burt has NONE. Burt has always been good under pressure however.
3. India. Finally won the damn World Cup which has finished at long last. Sri Lanka brave in defeat. Their top order was superb throughout the tournament. Tendulkar was outstanding, but Gambhir is the new king. He rarely fails. Even inconsistent old Yuvraj held it together to win the best player of the tournament. Malinga was strong.
4. Wayne Rooney. Clown. Super talent - hits another hat trick - but finds a way to offend at every turn. Shut up and show some respect.
5. Michael Clarke. Does this bloke know no bounds? His effort at his 30th Birthday, walking along a road (like we would, but we are not in the public spotlight) and jumping on blokes for the newspaper and TV cameras shows us everything we hate about the bloke. Spoilt brat, no regard for the office of Australian Cricket captain, no dignity. An absolute show pony with too many tough stickers and not enough form. He may have the shortest reign of an Australian cricket captain since Graham Yallop.
6. Stephanie Rice. Looking superb, but will need to find form to oust others who work harder.
7. AFL. Some excellent games again in the AFL. Close games and tight tussles by and large. Swans a good win against James Hird's outstandingly revamped Essendon team. Even the Richmond side did well. Their usual poor Friday night form had gone temporarily. The Gold Coast Suns are a joke. Is expansion set to backfire? Too many teams - not enough quality players to go round.
8. Ricky Ponting. Batting on for how long? How obvious is it that this is going to end the wrong way? Also, can anyone believe how black and flowing Ricky's hair is all of a sudden. he must have spray on. He was never that hirsute.
9. Wayne Bennett. Thank goodness his charade is over. Back to the Broncos and give us all a rest. For a bloke who does not like personal arrangements splashed over the papers, he has done a great job of fuelling speculation.
10. How about those Rebels? A better year than most would have thought!
