1. NRL referees. It is a fair dinkum lottery. I get this feeling that they are also under massive pressure from within. Tony Archer's sell out after the split second siren decision in the Storm v St George game was phenomenal. He could quite as easily protected his staff and called on professional judgement at a clutch moment in a noisy stadium as an explanation. No wonder their collective performance is appalling. Archer has always struck me as pretty headstong and single minded. Maybe as an NRL ref there is no alternative.
How often can the NRL apologise to the Cowboys?
2. The Storm. Are we witnessing a fading star? So good for so long, but can it go on forever? No.
3. Waratahs. A strong win at home. Not sure if anyone saw this article on the future demise of rugby by 2018. Interesting. See: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/aru-has-everything-to-lose-in-super-rugby-expansion-20140418-zqvz7.html
4. Swans. Not sure if you saw their game v Freo on Saturday evening. It was a cracker. Intense, toughness at the contest. A huge performance against the Grand Finalists. Magnificent victory really. To do this every week may be beyond them.
5. Glenn Maxwell is much maligned - and with good evidence. However he is starting to become a pretty good show on his own. Our best player at the World 20-20 and setting them on fire in the IPL. Getting used to collecting the millions perhaps.
6. EPL. Chelsea's loss to Sunderland was diabolical. Swartzer in goals did not look like booking a return gig. Liverpool need to fall over to lose out now. It is in the red handbag.
7. Sydney FC should have won v Melbourne Victory squandering absolute dolly chances at key moments. The Victory surge on but Brisbane are so much better than the rest it would be an absolute upset if they did not win the thing.
8. If ever there was a clear sign that Australian Women's tennis is still light years behind the world, it was there in the Fed Cup on the weekend. Our women were soundly and thoroughly trounced by Germany. Hopeless after such promise. Stosur is more inconsistent than the first shake of the day at McDonalds.
