Wrap - Remove the Penalty Santa Claus

1. Parramatta. A terrible end today v Penrith to a team whose defence has been exceptional this season. Bryce Cartwright is the next NSW Origin sensation. (By the way, Joey sounds like he is back on the gear with his anticipated Origin team...the Canberra halves...Blake Austin...please! Never pick a bloke with a stupid haircut. He makes dumb decisions in life).

Pritchard needs to be sacked. He gives away penalties and strikes me as a dumb player. An absolute "Penalty Santa Claus" for oppositions. De Gois should be an 80 minute player in that team. This bloke on the wing. Ryan Morgan's step brother - Clint Gutherson. Absolutely terrible. Too small for first grade and not smart. His defensive effort to let in the try for Mansour and get off the hook when Soward missed the goal was bad enough. Then he did the Eric Grother Junior thing (how is that Molotov cocktail and music career going?) and rushed up again and charged the ball down for a restart with less than a minute remaining. He lacked poise under pressure. No composure and needs a stint in reserve grade to get his crap together. (I did like his Kyle Feldt 'hang time' kick-off's however). Has Semi been coached about defusing bombs with less than 10 seconds remaining? AFL punch over the sideline perhaps? A jump to the ball?

Thanks to Pez for his sideline eye work for The Wrap this afternoon at Pirtek Stadium. His work on the world surfing tour is also very well known as well. Plenty of thanks from this particular gentleman for his historical introductory work at Bells Beach. He is batting well above...Trent Voges.



2. Roosters are shot. Thanks Mitchell Pearce for your ill discipline. The fans believe that you should continue sitting on the lounge all year. Dreadful impact on his mates and the club. It hurts to see RTS score a match winner against you. The pace of their winger Tuimoala Lolohea was something else!

3. English Cricket. Coach Trevor Bayliss is an absolute legend. He is poised to get a 20-20 world crown for England tonight. Quiet, understated and effective. He won a lot of Shield finals in NSW as a player.

3. Great news Victoria won the Sheffield Shield. Peter Handscombe. Note his name. He is next in line if Nevill falls over. A great pressure player. Very rare in someone with so little experience.

4. Waratahs. I am sensing with the departure of Michael Chieka, the spirit and spark of the team has gone south too. Not getting a good vibe at all. There could be messy times ahead.

5. Swans. Highly impressive v Carlton. As were GWS. I am sensing that Victoria are losing their grip on the game quickly. The fresh young legs in the Swans roster are doing the business. They were looking tired and slow last year. Still have 'Red' Rohan and McVeigh to return to strengthen the show further.

6. Sydney FC are playing really poorly now. They need a broom and a new ethos. Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne City are neck and neck with the Western Sydney Wanderers. An incredibly tight end to the year and to Asian Cup positions for next year.

7. Leicester need a victory v Southampton tonight because they are about to find out how hard EPL really is in the remaining weeks. Three points tonight could set them up powerfully.
