The Wrap - Rocktober

1. GF. Souths far too strong. Their defence was brutal. Losing Sam Burgess and Ben Teo in 2015 will be huge. Glenn Stewart has made a good decision. The bulletproof strength of James Graham's head is something else. He breaks everyone else's head - except his own! Love Rusty...love Sam...but George Burgess should have received the Clive Churchill. Where were the photos of George Piggins and Rusty? (New Idea exclusive?).

2. Vettel has always been a brat - however successful. No number 1 man anymore and now he leaves Red Bull to join Ferrari. Amazing how Webber kept him there for so long. Riccardo has run laps around them all at Red Bull, but Lewis Hamilton has dominated. Who was responsible for the earthmoving equipment that has nearly killed a driver? Silliness before the race was stopped.

3. Great to see Josh Hazelwood amongst the wickets again. He is one for the future if he can stop getting injured. How about Mitchell Marsh...about to secure a permanent test spot in the Aussie team and like Shane Watson, he strains a hamstring. Really? Maybe from carrying the cash home from the useless T20 Champions league that everyone is bored stupid about. It didn't take long did it, before T20 was on the nose for the fans too. Still like watching Dave Warner's reverse sweep, however.

Noticed young Parramatta boy (now Sydney Uni Grade) - Sean Abbott - debuted for Australia in the 20-20 game v Pakistan. A great achievement from the young fellow. The opportunities for good all rounders are something else...but Henriques was overlooked and a number of others, so he has the right wraps from the right people clearly...well earned.

4. Kurtley Beale. He is a troubled soul. Nearly as troubled as a staff member who did not cover off the basic rules to all and sundry before departure. Fancy getting to this point mid flight. Amateurs all. Rugby league? He would be perfect at the Panthers as an ex- Mt Druitt lad. Gus would get him right. In the mean time, a loss to the Argies is hard to cop.

5. Major League Baseball. There are some huge shocks there - the favourites are struggling! The Kansas City Royals smashed the more fancied LA Angels, the Cardinals staged one of the great comebacks v the LA Dodgers and the Detroit Lions were conquered by the Orioles...and the San Fran Giants (the October specialists) are looking like beating the Washington Nationals.

6. Japan are set to joing the Super Rugby comp soon. SANZAR are really in more trouble than we all thought.

7. Wenger's shove of Mourinho was not hard enough for many.
