1. Can anyone explain the fascination with taking city sport to the country? When one moves to the country, there is no surprise that it is a long way from everywhere else. No shock. Some folk prefer this. So then the NRL and others spend all their time wanting to go back to the country to again get a lacklustre crowd and make a few locals smile. Amateur hour. For what gain? Maybe they should offer flights to the best young juniors and fly them down here.
Many think Parramatta needed to go there so they did not get objects thrown at them again.
The rot set in with country bound teams in World Series Cricket with the Cavaliers (the fourth side): McCosker, Laird, Edwards, Kent, Langer, Trevor Chappell, Dennis Yagmich (WK), Richie Robinson, Prior, Malone, and the "straight breaker" - Mallett.
2. The Panthers peptides programme is kicking in. Suddenly they look like world beaters. Gus' policies are taking effect. Meanwhile Parramatta slide into the abyss and look set for a second successive wooden spoon. Ricky Stuart certainly has quite a few of those already. A change of Board at Parramatta would be making him nervous. Apparently Steve Sharp still doesn't talk to Mark 'Pebbles' Laurie (a champion bloke) after a million years after he lost his spot to him in the 1986 GF. Steve Sharp also used to work at Brooks Tyres at Parramatta. He is a true re-tread.
4. Cameron Smith looks a lot smaller in the arms to me. Any chance the peptides stuff is biting at all clubs and the game is getting unexpectedly more even as players take new advice?
5. State of Origin...The number next to each player is their club team position on the table...
NSW TEAM: Jarryd Hayne (15), Brett Morris (13), Michael Jennings (3), Josh Morris (10), Blake Ferguson (11), James Maloney (3), Mitchell Pearce (3), Paul Gallen(9) (c), Robbie Farah (15) (vc), James Tamou (12), Ryan Hoffman (2), Luke Lewis (9), Greg Bird (6). Interchange: Kurt Gidley (5), Anthony Watmough (4), Trent Merrin (13), Andrew Fifita (9).
No place for one Rabbit? Joke. Eight in a row to QLD with this lot. Maloney is not up to it sorry. Souths will clean up and be in the semis by the end of Origin.
6. Love these one and two syllable "NOUNS" as English batsmen - Cook, Root, Bell, Finn...and Trott, Prior...a bit like their cricket...to the point. Hard to fathom how we will beat them.
7. Geoff Toovey is officially the greatest whinger in world sport.
8. Cricketers leave for Ashes tomorrow. Sure hope the high performance manager has been doing his job with the magic wand...better be right...they'll need it.
9. AFL. Racism...Why? What is wrong with these Melbourne fans?
