1. The NRL is in free fall. The stupidity of players to put themselves into poor positions where contention, allegation and sordid accusation follows is incredible.
These fellows are taught, advised, counselled, etc and still it happens. The anger and spite that then follows at the expense of women is hurting the game. The 50% of the population thing may be hard to understand (?).
What reasonable mum thinks rugby league is a great idea for their child? I am doing the rounds mentally with my mates and cannot think of one of their children who play(ed) the game! It will remain a residual tribal sport where very few families engage with it, support it or attend it. Watching it from home remains the best bet...it's the furthest distance from the murky world that they have created.
For all their faults, enter AFL and football/ soccer.
2. Nathan Lyon continues to excel. Bowling tweakers and turners that don't really do that much off the deck. He is a master tactician and remains positive and aggressive as a bowler with flight, drift and spin. He has now got more wickets that Murali against India. He is zooming in on DK Lillee's 356 now with 331 Test wickets.
3. Virat Kohli. No ton in the first Test but one in Perth. He is a superstar. He has the ability to bat for long times. 25 Test tons... he will be the benchmark when he retires in all forms of the game. Amazing... no matter what sort of person you may like/ not like.
4. Peter Handscomb needs to go (however what a pair of hands he has!) and I am still not convinced re Shaun Marsh. As soon as the pressure is tuned up, he vanishes! Khawaja needs to bat big if we are to win it. It would be nice to see Tim Paine put a ton up in Tests too. He has not hit a ton for years. Not good enough for a modern day keeper.
5. Horse racing. I saw two really good runs on the weekend - Tip Top and Sky Boy. Both worth a spot in your blackbook!
6. A-League Expansion. Western Melbourne and Macarthur South-West Sydney are added while many other have not been added. Fair enough. They have had a few teams come and go already. The pressure will be on any new club. Unproven experience.
7. BBL. It is around the corner again and the excitement will rise above so many other programs. We will all enjoy the nightly excitement!
8. Premier League. On they surge, Man City. What a machine of a club they are. No nonsense...just titles.
