2. The Knights. They are almost about to shut the door on the joint. Nathan Tinkler must be proud. 53-0 is one of the biggest NRL thumpings this century.
3. Cowboys and Broncos look a step ahead of the rest.
Parramatta's line speed and scrambling defence is working tremendously with the
leadership of Foran. Amazing what leadership does to make a difference.
Would like to see Brad Arthur crack it for a smile. He might be walking too close to Pricey's statue.
5. A thrilling game between Swans and Adelaide in the AFL. Semi final standard. A horrendously early call but semi finalists both. Heath Grundy terrible and unfit. Swans defence was awful at times and competed with some over zealous local crowd affected umpiring for their stupidity. Richards losing a bit too. Buddy Franklin superb. Heeney was absolutely outstanding. Tippett continues to crack in key moments. He has a great knack of stuffing things up and lacking toughness at critical moments. The AFL has been quite even thus far. Collingwood, Freo and Richmond the stand out duds to date.
6. Waratahs. Ho hum. The most staggering thing about the Tahs is
that anyone turns up to watch them at all. They lack fight and spirit. I can't
see their coach Dashing Daryl lasting.
7. A League. How Berisha got off his suspension I'll never know.
His goal was excellent, but not enough. The Roar will really trouble the Wanderers, despite a full house at Pirtek. You have to love the ruthless transfers and brutal sackings in the A League! In the other semi, Melbourne City v Adelaide...Adelaide have too many goals in them I suspect. Not a bad semi final structure of eliminations in Week 1, then semis then the GF. Clear and simple.
8. The EPL relegation needs to come to NRL. This would smarten
up a few clubs. Salary cap breach? Back to second division! The canaries of
Norwich are close to being gone! Leicester are three wins away...against Andy Carroll and West Ham tonight they will be tested.
9. Is there a more boring time of the cricket calendar than when
the IPL is on? No coverage. No interest. The ongoing unabated wastefulness of
Glenn Maxwell is only bettered by the owners' wastefulness in employing him! Aaron Finch in good form. Great to hear after the T20 World Cup is over!
10. Have you noticed that the skipper of an NRL team is typically
the bloke with the fewest tats? Why is that?
