Wrap - Put The Roosters On The Field, They'll Show You How To Play

1. So the Roosters have done it. You don't often say this, but Manly fell in a heap. 18-8 up and a cave in. However, definitely one of the better Grand Finals in recent years. Comebacks in the GF are rare. SBW was sensational in the second half...rocks in first half. When was the last time Minichello made an error? Tough performance by SKD with a broken jaw. Maloney's defence was tremendous again. Sam MOA has the best name in the NRL. Mowerman.

"The red white and bluesters...the Eastern Suburbs team....."

Manly continue to amaze with their strike rate as a club. Not a lot of tears when they lose as a result.

 2. Gotta say that the pre match entertainment was - for the first time - Super Bowlesque. It was more professional than any other year. It all starts with the stage. It was actually quite professional. Jessica Mauboy was done to death however. Status Quo have signed on for next year. Surely you could ressurect some old unprolific types to play a few tunes...John Cougar Mellancamp couldn't be doing much at present. ELO...Simply Red...Van Morrison..1927...Margaret Urlich and The Cockroaches...Maybe even Bruce Hornsby and the Range.

3. Dave Warner. He is starting to get that James O'Connor smell about him. Too much money and too little success...or respect. One thing is for sure, Candace Falzon will make you a better athlete once she fades from the scene.

Can anyone believe we have the Ryobi Cup all in NSW? Power tool sales must be slow in the other states.

4. Wallabies. On fire against a mightily disappointing Argentina. Very hard to get too excited about a game which didn't matter. It looked like the Springboks and All Blacks were playing a different game. Phar Lap and Raddish.

5. Clarke's back always gets worse when he spends too much time at home. Shagger's back. talk of retirement keeps rising. George Bailey will be a great addition to the middle order. Sensible, responsible and knows how to win.

6. AFL. Buddy Franklin. Swans will need all the help possible. They are on old and ageing legs. Tippett must be feeling nervous.

7. Liverpool FC look sharp this year. They have energy and could be a hot tip. Sturridge and Suarez are in sensational form. They look slick. Chelsea don't. Tottenham have fallen in a hole too.

8. Did anyone catch Shane Watson's worst ever delivery? We've seen it in his running between the wickets, his shot selections and now....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QurjImrVEvE
