Wrap - Caviar For Some

1. Parramatta are just laughable. Their lack of focus and inability to persevere under pressure is staggering. They look better without Cheyse Blair and Ken Sio could just be a star one day. (Maybe they therefore won't re-sign the most injury prone player in world sport - Willie Tonga). However far too many lazy players - led unfortunately by their Pacific Islander boys - Moi Moi, Roberts, Paulo and the league's most over rated player - Jarryd Hayne. They all actually look unfit. He saunters and stuffs around, proving to be an easy target for opposing defences. Jacob Loko is big, but he is not smart enough to succeed long term.

Ricky Stuart coached sides have always had terrible discipline. He got smashed in the penalty count and deserved it. He loves to put pressure on post game, but refs forget when they see his tactics. He can blame the refs but they need to watch Melbourne Storm and how they do it. Niggle but no brains. Parramatta's penalties they give are abomnable. Lussick is a liability.

2. Just on Tonga, there are some blokes who get paid a lot of money to be injured. A Club CEO pleaser.

The annual City-Country farce gets underway this week. The pull outs and the lies begin tomorrow morning as players try everything to keep their club coaches happy and pass up the jersies at that level.

3. The Wanderers continue to pack Parra Stadium and mesemerise the opposition. I wonder if anyone at the Parramatta club has half a brain to find out how they do it and try to mirror their success? Don't be stupid, as if.

4. A-League Mariners v Wanderers. Graham Arnold has steered them to Grand Finals before (four for the club) and they will be raging favourites against the Hersey-less Wanderers. Arnold is a class act and a winner. A GUUUUS Hiddinck prodigy.

Just on Postocoglou, I am staggered at his post match rudeness, childishness and he deserved to lose. He grunts through press conferences and hands out lectures to whoever will listen. Grow up you embarrassing fool!

5. I note that Mark Webber's GP car has had a wheel fall off mid race at the Chinese GP. There seems to be a pattern here. Maybe a metaphor for his GP career? What next? His team have some answers to provide there. Bluey forgot the wheelnuts. Use a Sidchrome..youcannahand amanagrander. Joke.

6. The Masters. Writing this we hear all the hype about Aussies placed well to win for the first time ever, Aussies breaking ducks, drought ender, yada yada. Scott is our only chance. Jason Day went to water on 17 and 18 late in the third round and it bodes poorly. The pressure at that tournament is like no other world sporting event.

7. Black Caviar. What an awesome record 25-0. A phenomenal horse. Its offspring will bring $10 million a pop. Hopefully the farewell tour for the horse continues into Brisbane.

8. Hawthorn look strong. Port are reviving themselves. Swans better. Richmond looking OK. But what about Melbourne? They may need to fold and go to Tassie.

9. How about Australian Rugby? Reds, Brumbies win and the Force beat the Crusaders...what? The Waratahs will level this all out no doubt.
