1. The 'Rise For Alex' initiative has been extremely positive, but maybe it could extend to others similarly afflicted. Is the Rugby League Players Association more disfunctional than the Obeid family? Hard to believe that the NRL could not have got the $1 per ticket thing and then matched the lot. The corporates seem to have gotten it right. Is it care or conscience? Hopefully both.
2. Gold Coast Rugby League Club. Just to let you know that if you want to win, just announce a club review and suddenly under performing players (eg. M. Minichello, K. Gordon, D. Taylor) will lift and the club will avoid having to pay out a coach who has mediocre results, but a fat pay cheque each week.
3. Daley Cherry-Evans. Hopefully for the Eels, Brad Arthur knows him really, really well. He will be the star player of the future, but even if he was Brad Arthur's son, I doubt the Eels will be on his play list. There is a big difference between Parramatta River and Freshwater Beach.
4. England v India. A close series, but like Test cricket world wide, the crowds are terrible. The sanctimonious high ground taken by chirpy Indian cricketers when it suits them (this time v Jimmy Anderson)...mandatorily supported by the captain who is cornered by his masters who pay huge cash to him (despite the fact the courts of that country issued a warrant for his arrest). Still waiting for all the names of those Indian officials and players involved in corruption worldwide. It must be just those evil South African, New Zealanders...Those countries with those T20 competitions where Indian cricketers refuse to play.
By the way, Duminy is some sort of cricketer. Another ton on the weekend.
5. Tour de France. Great scenery and great footage, but it is so hard to believe that sport is clean. Tiny skinny blokes motoring up mountains quicker than they go down them...hard to believe. The silence on doping since Armstrong is not helping. What changes have they implemented?
6. Rory. Not since Greg Norman butchered a similar lead could anything but victory eventuate in the British Open. Is it fair to say that close victories seem to be less familiar in a British Open. Didn't like the course. You could see a neighbour's clothesline, an old car and back shed at one hole. No Masters that joint!
7. What is it with Port Adelaide. Limped to a victory v Melbourne (gallant, brave, work in progress...you know how it goes) and have lost for a month after looking world beaters. Carlton, St Kilda...surprises. Not many in AFL, but nice to know they still exist!
