1. The State of Origin game this week just gone was a journey back to the old days. An absolute cracker. My calls of its slow demise with more support staff than players, longer camps than Vietnam, excesses and boring media stories on injured 'will he or won't he play' players....all have been exaggerated, because the game (and the result at long last) was of exceptional quality and toughness.
Not even Ricky Stuart's boring weekly Sunday Telegraph article could tarnish it.
2. The arrogance of Shayne Dwain Wayne Hayne (parents are comedians) at the end of the game to keep believing that Queensland would triumph was staggering. Only Gomersall would have done this. Bill Harrigan would have delighted in ruling the other way.
3. Waratahs. Can anyone believe that they may get into the Super 15 finals? Surely there will be a melt down or brain explosion. A tough game and great win (after many years of coming up empty) in New Zealand v The Chiefs.
4. They tell me the IPL ends this week. The Punjabbers to win. Really looking forward to seeing how many useless fat blokes with nothing better to do can cram onto the winning stage to hold onto the ridiculously oversized cheque that has already been spent on excessive salaries for so so performance.
5. Great to see the famous Sammy Soliman (Solo-man!) win a world boxing title. They do give them away like shoppa dockets - we all know that, but fancy this Felix Sturm losing to another Aussie. He is bank rolling the Aussie boxing hangers-on something fabulous. Hope Sam sees his cash before others do.
6. So Steve Price is sacked as the second NRL coach to go this season...Matt Elliott then Price. Who is next? Ricky?..great to see Brian Smith back at the Wigers..after a surprise mention last week too...you will be joining another club sooner than you think. Check your text messages.
7. Put your cash on Nadal to win a fifth straight French Open. A certainty the way he played last night. Stosur will get rolled by Sharapova. Maria not only has style, but skill in abundance. If Stosur wins a set, she will definitely lose in three.
8. I noticed Spain left out two Manchester City players from their World Cup squad. Kick them into ours...please!
Many Australians have never been near Brazil but often admire its benefits.
