Wrap - Marshes and Swamps

1. Kohli. He behaved like a spoilt rich kid whose shit does not stink. His behaviour on the field was appalling. His run of outs has been exhilarating. Can't believe Starc is injured yet again. Pleased he played in the useless NZ ODI series....Cummins coming in could be useful, but he is hittable! Has an injury been better timed than Mitchell Marsh's latest one? The Marsh brothers have a high injury prone: resilience ratio. Often when form fades. 

However what has not been analysed is how soft our batting was - Wade has not done enough. If he's in the team for his "spirit" we are in trouble.

2. Cronulla looked sharp. They are definitely going to shake the comp. Gus Gould made a goose of himself suggesting they Segeyaro will be a great addition although their young hooker looked tremendous. The Storm is still dominant.

3. Parramatta win again and Semi is the main man. Unfortunately his efforts are going to be undermined by the absence of a decent goal kicker. Surely Brad Arthur thought about this. His love affair with Gutherson has reached fever pitch. He offers very little in defence and his left to right pass is awful. Good haircut however.

4. Tim Simona is looking for a start at Lottoland. The stupidity of the bets are staggering. However I am not buying the confession articles in the Sunday Telegraph this weekend. He is trying to pave the way for a return, but ripping off a charity? Please. That alone should see him barred. He needs a lot of time to make amends. The spots of a leopard are hard to remove. The sadness of a gambling addict is immense.

5. Another rugby union fiasco in the last few moments of the game will continue to consign the game to the last choice of sport fans. Refs look for penalties too closely and the closer the game, the loser the look. Too much power. Too much control. Reds dudded. Crusaders swamp them again.

6. Little Lincolntown got smashed 5-0 to see Arsenal and Man City into the FA Cup. Wenger still seems to get some results. Unfortunately he seems to win the wrong cups.

7. AFL. Get into the comp please...the longest pre season in the history of sport. None of it matters.

8. Tahs will just fall in a heap in 2017. Awful. This coach worries me.
