1. Warnie has now lost the plot. He fair dinkum looks like the old VB Boonie Doll. He has a massive wobbly head and hair that looks like Perkins Paste has made a comeback. Its colour looks like someone wiped their rs on it. He needs to get back to the cigarettes and beer. Too fake. Too trendy. Liz Hurley is a good sort - but is she worth that?
2. Has anyone noticed that since Wayne Bennett has started to start to recruit and sack up Newcastle way, the Knights have improved out of sight - and the Dragons have lost all bearings.. This new Saints coach - Steve Price. He has a good footy name but is the wrong bloke! Remember there were two Dennis Lillee's? One who was the best ever and the other an old hack spinner whose parents had a fair sense of humour.
3. Wallabies. This mob are pure pretenders. We all want to believe they can do it..we hope..but in the end...disappointment. Robbie Deans has had enough - and so have the public. The trial of a NZ coach taking our national team has failed. Nothing surer. Surely Ewan McKenzie is the man.
4. Cameron White has done it again. A loss. Now they have promoted this bloke to skipper and he is wreaking his incompetence over more players than usual. Get rid of him. That or replay that series of his bowling in India when he struggled to hit the mown grass (Chris Matthews style).
5. There is much to admire about Kevin Sheedy. GWS are making huge inroads into western Sydney. Tall skinny kids who have good hands, can kick but are not huge specimens are signing up in droves. Their biggest problem is the lack of a locally stationed stadium. They need to invest in the Blacktown stadium and then they will own the area. League is great to watch and will always be there, but Gus summed it up nicely today in the Sydney Sun Herald. See: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/action-must-be-taken-to-stop-the-afl-killing-league-20110806-1igjb.html The NRL are asleep at the wheel. I am there every day and the impact is already massive.
(Our school backs onto the biggest rugby league club in the Southern Hemisphere - St Clair Comets - and we have had discussions with AFL about the redevelopment of our school oval. New neighbours).
Add to this the dinosaur code of Rugby - whose two chief media mouthpieces: Terry Smith and Greg Growden would not know where the M4 is. Hence the dismal, insular and myopic state of their code. Their attitude mirrors that of rugby officialdom.
6. No team looks stronger at home than Manly. To win at Brookvale these days is almost unheard of. Parramatta are closer to the spoon with a Titans victory on the weekend.
7. Sally Pearson is officially the ugliest Australian athlete (and our most successful in recent years) since Janelle 'Big Red' Elford. Jess Schipper and Petria Thomas are best looking down in the water too. Ugliest bloke? Surely there is a national sportsman who fits that bill.
