1. Hard to believe that Manly got out of jail v Penrith today. There is spirit in that lot which will be hard to replace once retirement and other salary cap nonsense takes hold at Brookvale. Conversely everyone wants to tell you how brave Parramatta has been this year. Let's be clear here...they needed to be. The appalling waste of money at that club through reckless salaries is a disgrace...especially when the value is indexed against poor performance. It really is hard to believe that if there is a full week's preparation for a side, they thay cannot do well every week...injuries...refs...yadayada...We need players to become more professional. Simple.
2. Referee review? First rule to change is time off as soon as a try is awarded. When the try is awarded, the clock stops - every time. Secondly, if a player approaches a ref...captain or no captain...thirty metre penalty with a penalty at the end...like the AFL. If there is petulance, argument or dissent...this will make it evaporate. Nothing like free metres to make a dent in a whinger like Ennis, Hayne, Lyon, Smith....
3. Nick Kyrgios. Pretty awesome, but so raw and wasteful too. He could be good, but needs to keep a check on his ego. Good signs and bad there too. Hard to escape the spoilt rich kid syndrome around tennis players...even if Australian.
4. Will Power (good name) wins Indy Car championship. Great effort. Hard to believe that Daniel Riccardo is doing so well. After years of Webber excuses, there seems to be silence...the only noise really is champagne corks from him.
5. AFL. A loss by Sydney won't hurt them (stuff the punters though who had no idea that Franklin was not playing), but Freo will be hard to toss. Default minor premiers really. Richmond showed some great spirit and played better than they have in years. There is hope for a club that was close to being shipped to Tasmania.
It's funny how Sydney give up a major advantage at the SCG to play semis at Stadium Australia.
6. Cricket. We really struggle on flat slow tracks...even v Zimbabwe. We just do not have the bats with correct technique for that sort of play. It's about time James Faulkner did something. He is overdue big time and is VERY lucky to be even walking onto the field at present. Clarke's 68 not out off 102 deliveries needs to be questioned. He changes the tempo of the ODI side when he is in there. It regresses. He should not be playing ODI's or 20/20 games. Test captain only.
7. Let me end by saying that Stephen Dank is innocent and should be canonised; The Gazelle is misunderstood and should be in Hollywood films and Danny Wiedler should be chased by both of them with big needles and jars of crappy looking pills and made to ingest the lot. Paul Gallen can then deny he saw anything and tell everyone how he was ripped off. Good night.
