1. NRL. The Panthers are carving it up and will take the JJ Giltinan as minor premiers (often forgotten on Grand Final day). As Brad Arthurs says, by losing the spine, especially Cleary, they will be in bother....but what team wouldn't be? That doesn't excuse the way Moses runs across field and the lack of punch up the centre that the team has inherited. The offloads are not landing. It was a little disconcerting to see Gutherson so charged up in the panthers game. A distraction from playing better!
The Storm keep rolling on and so do the Raiders. The Storm finish top two again - incredible! Parramatta are in a bad way. No pace and so slow - especially without the bullet passes of the young hooker, Reed Mahoney.
2. Roosters. The Roosters with injuries and issues are still a powerhouse. SBW gives them an absolute edge. Trent Robinson is an absolute gun. Always stays single minded and never distracted by nonsense. Too busy winning comps!
3. Commentator Curse. Is it just me or is Blocker getting more generalised and off the pace as an NRL commentator? His defence of Townsend last week was a worry. Maybe it is me.
4. Adam O'Brien. Starting to worry about the composure of the Newcastle NRL coach. The team are playing with the same erratic style.
5. US Open Tennis. Novak Djokovic made a goose of himself. Disqualified in the tournament for hitting a ball at a line umpire that was his on a platter. Anyhow, with next to no one there, Serena also stumbled and Naomi Osaka triumphs for her third Grand Slam. In the men's either Zverev or Thiem is set to win their first title. Zerev may care to send Kgyrios a text!
6. EPL. They have hardly had time to get to the travel agent and banana lounge and they are back! Never ending play and still the sensational quality continues. Leeds who were recently promoted have risen to the challenge, going down to Liverpool, but only just. We will know the EPL winner by November. It wouldn't be the EPL without West Ham getting poleaxed in the first round. A long season ahead.
7. GWS Giants. The coach, Leon Cameron, is under the pump. That team should be top four every year. It is time for a change there. Crows launching back, but Carlton are floundering. Nearly fell over that the AFL are thinking of having their week off before the semis again in a season where they have played every night! Old habits...
8. Wallabies. 16 uncapped players selected...maybe this is the time to rebuild, with so much dead wood over recent years, this may keep a few from signing with rugby league.
9. Daniel Riccardo. Is this guy out of excuses yet? A few W's would help him. It seems to be everyone else's fault. No 'shoeys' this season.
10. Tour de France. No coronavirus problems there...pile in together and the crowd three deep. Maybe time for a few from Victoria to get to the travel agent.
11. Curtis Scott. The Police are kidding there, but what is wrong with a grown man on a big salary on the drink and having a sleep in the park? He was a long way from the Ivy.
12. Australian Cricket. Thumped in T20...still no secrets uncovered yet. We simply have the wrong balance in the team. The ODI team has fared better. Mitchell Marsh might just be hitting his straps. Bowling at night in England - does it get any better for a medium pacer?
