1. NRL. Rest all the key players? What an annoying nonsense for the fans and the TV rights owners from Souths, Melbourne and Parramatta amongst others. The Sunday games were horrific - Titans v Warriors and Bulldogs v Tigers. Both whackings to nil! Does it get any worse? The end of the season for all of these teams could not come soon enough. The Mad Monday nonsense will no doubt follow the Bulldogs again. Ban that immature, unprofessional crap.
It is actually refreshing to see the back of a few of these teams that have been so poor this year, especially the Broncos and Bulldogs. The Tigers were horrible as usual and Madge should start getting some cardboard boxes from Miller's Self Storage. Hopefully with all the players coming back after a week on the banana lounge, things will be stronger next week.
The Gold Coast sneak in and Josh Hannay, the relieving Sharks coach, should also go overseas to coach. His record is terrible. John Morris would have had the team neatly inside the eight.
Only Manly, Panthers and Storm can win it. Latrell will give the Toby Greene apology speech, but it can't save Souths.
2. Ban the Moron. A few players need to be sacked from the NRL - Will Chambers, Kane Evans, Matt Lodge (sticking the finger up at the crowd never looks good when you have a bad history), Josh Dugan and Josh Maguire. They should all be rubbed out for a long time. Foul play, poor examples to others. Does the game need them?
I am also looking for an instant sin bin if you interfere with a player pushed over the sideline or after a try is scored. No contact, jersey pulls or head rubs. Nonsense and it should be stamped out.
Spoon winners should also have to front up on Grand Final Day to receive them on the (roy) dias.
3. AFL. Melbourne v Geelong and Port Adelaide v Western Bulldogs to determine the 2021 Grand Finalists. What a cracking Saturday night game with Brisbane at home v Western Bulldogs 79-78. The performances of Jack Macrae and Marcus Bontempelli were awesome. Bailey Smith was awesome when it counts, but he really needs a haircut. Ice blocks in the veins indeed! The Western Bulldogs were hectic on ball and the ball movement from both sides was incredible. Adam Treloar however needs to smarten up big time for the Dogs to progress further. Ten touches for the game is woeful. He is a star...maybe just an off night.
4. England v India Test Cricket. Liked the fightback in Ollie Pope and the lower order of England in their first innings. However, India just love to bat and they are very good at it. They will put the screws on England and win this test yet. England simply cannot chase and win. Pant has not delivered yet and is due.
5. EPL. Ronaldo #7 is a huge signing stamping ManU as a European powerhouse again. They will dominate again, but still have some formidable opponents. Arsenal have a chance at redemption this week coming. The other Manu has a broken jaw c/- Latrell.
6. Tom Trbojevic. What a player and how dominant? He is an awesome talent and easily the best in the game. He should displace Tedesco in Origin as well. The Dally M is safe with him. How about Garrick getting the record number of points in a season? He should thank Tom T for all those tries under the posts!
7. Wallabies v All Blacks. Apparently there was a game on? This sport is really skilled at keeping their biggest money spinner silent. The game is almost impossible to follow. They need a complete re-think. For the record, we got smacked and simply have no leadership or character. It is a rag tag team of blokes. Stunning how the game has fallen so far.
8. US Open Tennis. Naomi Osaka is a troubled soul at present, but she is not a gracious loser either. A great tournament in New York as always. Most of the biggest names are still alive into the second week of the tournament, but a few rising stars emerging. The cookie cutter tennis player is at home on hardcourts.
How would you feel if you were Kai Nishikori? He lost again to Djokovic and has not beaten him in seven years. Seven! That is some time without success. Djokovic picks up the most Grand Slam titles and a Grand Slam (four in the year) with victory here at Flushing Meadow too. Djokovic has won six of the past eleven Grand Slam events (Wimbledon cancelled last year). Dominant, whatever you think of him!
9. Ash Barty. A shock loss. Inexcusable as World Number 1 in some respects, but these things can happen. Hardcourts have not been kind to her.
10. Dylan Alcott. Paralympics tennis player. This bloke is highly successful. Olympic Gold medallist and 14 time Grand Slam winner. He has won 7 straight Australian Open titles.
11. Anthony Seibold to English Rugby. This is a great signing. Seibiold knows the game and the patterns required for domination. Eddie Jones is very astute. A shame Australian rugby is not similar.
