Wrap - Mouthguards Never Fail

1. Luis Suarez. We admire his skill on the field but omitted him last week from the Wrap - like Carney - because of the goose element gone horribly and inexplicably wrong. Suarez is a proven racist, a biter, and a jerk....and a wonderful soccer player who happily lets down his team mates...with send off's and extended bans. He has no care or concern about this. Nothing to the power of bugger all. What about this:"I lost my balance and ended up falling on my opponent (Chiellini) At that moment, my face hit the player (Chiellini) leaving a small bruise and sharp pain in the teeth.”

 Luis you are dopey...what about the mouthguard excuse. It never fails.

Carney. He must have been some sort of entertainment package at high school. What a tool. Time to axe the idiots and get NRL into the professional world. Mick Cronin was annointed 'Champion Eel' in the same week...case closed. Reg Gasnier passes on in glory. A shame they didn't get the cash of some of these current day blokes.

Was that Ray Price whinging again? Apparently the pigeons even refuse to crap on his Parra Stadium statue.

2. Sydney Thunder. Thankfully this mob have gone beyond a glossy pre season poster and realised that when you have both Michael Clarke and Dave Warner on the roster - and they NEVER play - the fans don't like it. They have silently axed both - and in good time. Instead they bought the great Jacques Kallis. Will be OK, but based on the IPL, the best buy would be Kohli...then JP Duminy...AB de Villiers....

3. Lou Vincent. I am looking forward to hearing who the Indian crooks were - and the terribly corrupt ex-players. That country makes a great deal of others but no one from the so called "upper classes" ever seems to get pinned with offences that stick. The back scratching and back slapping hides the rank corruption that runs on unabated in elements of that glorious country. Iron it out. Lou may need a body guard or two.

4. AFL. North Melbourne came good this week after they did our punting club cash last start v Brisbane. Adelaide on a roll. Swans steamrolling ahead. Is there a more injured bloke than Kurt Tippett? He is up there with Jana Pittman.

5. Rugby. Is it time to give Super 15 the boot? Do the South African teams add anything? You can never watch their games (and often don't want to). Get rid of them, add Japan, Pacific Islands and get us on the same/ similar time zone.

6. NRL. Another weekend with no Origin stars. The Bulldogs effort was incredible. A bit sick of Michael Ennis. He is getting worse, tapping opposition blokes on the head when they make an error. He is lucky the punching rule has arrived in league. It might prolong his career.

Sharks were outstanding under pressure. Jeff Robson is a class act, although no media expert. Too boring.

7. Watched a bit of the Warney Rest of The World circus. Brett Lee's beamer at Warney was a great summary of his career. Fast but hollow and erratic.  Surprised to see Siddle and Finch playing (Warnie's mates of course) as it was a game of yesterday's heroes. Siddle looks finished. Sachin still has it. Noticed that there was no New Zealanders (Cairns? Steve Fleming?) or South Africans (Cullinan, Symcox)...

8. Nice to see Matt Ryan admit he was a rank dud at the World Cup. Time to move on however. He might not have another chance the way he keeps re-living it all.

9. Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic has lost a SEVEN Grand Slam finals: 4 x US Opens, 2 x French and 1 x Wimbledon. He has still won 6 as well. Can't see him beating Federer. If Federer wins he will be the undisputed king - the oldest winner ever. Like Jack Nicklaus winning the Masters at 40+ years of age.

Eugenie Bouchard was crushed...badly. Too many 6-0 losers in the final of the women's singles at Wimbledon (six 6-0 sets in finals in the Open era - and 6-1 has occurred 14 times in women's finals in the Open era - since 1968)...soft.
