Wrap - The Clown App

1. Brumbies. Quite a phenomenal effort in South Africa and now another chance to reaffirm that they are the best franchise in our Super Rugby history. The turnaround from last year is outstanding. Haven't seen Brian Smith yet, but there is bound to be a story about his lack of Grand Final success this week - and his curse. Would he want to coach the Wallabies one day?

2. Ashes Cricket. Is there anything to be read into Hughes and Cowan opening v Sussex? Rogers is on shaky ground. Fifty merchants and the only ton Hughes or Cowan get is the ton of criticism they all attract. How about the Jackson Bird performance? Will come in for Pattinson. Something in James Faulkner appeals to me. He has a bit of fight and could be a big part of the future. Lyon is bowling poorly. I wonder how that spin factory is going? Is Warnie great enough to make others great?

3. Warner. Is he that dumb? Twitter...biff on Joe Root...brother tweeting rubbish...sledging on the field in Australia A...he has no brain. Maybe that is why he struggles in Test Cricket. I almost drove off the road the other day when I heard all about "The DAVE WARNER APP". Apparently it teaches the biff and sledging and you can use it in any hotel room in the world...even in dodgy old ones where bad cricketers go.

4. League. Where have all the great footy songs gone? "Up, up Cronulla" is fantastic! With every win, more and more fans turn up, ASADA or no ASADA. Gallen or no Gallen. The changes to songs like "Click Go The Shears" by Parramatta to some Jon English number recorded down a well have been bad for their game. It has defeated the culture of the game. The AFL set a strong standard here. Bring them back! "Glory, Glory to South Sydney"...superb!

5. AFL. Swans are firming at this time of the year and are about to launch in to something very big again...Longmire has them peaking at the right time...again.

6. Socceroos. The shirt is devalued by silly East Asian tournaments. Reserve Grade and we were in our element coming last!

7. Mick Crocker. Is he still injured? Chris Sandow gets injured when not playing first grade to avoid embarrassment. Ben Ross and Brent Tate have been injured seriously and struggled on...What of Terry Campese, Jarryd Hayne, Willie Tonga, Timana Tahu, Justin Hodges...are only outgunned by Shane Watson, Pat Cummins and Pattinson. Noticed Brett Papworth is back playing cricket for the SCG XI in England. he was the most injured ever.

8. Noticed Black Caviar has a cover. Like being selected by the best girl at Parramatta Leagues' Kicks for a dance.
