1. Wallabies. On the cusp of turning things around the dreaded "Rugby Coach Curse" has struck. Pick a squad of a 100 for a tour and change your team every second day. How Aukuso-Suaalli can be put on the bench defies logic. Joe Schmidt's tenure is going to end soon if he does silly things like this. Honestly.
New Zealand All Blacks have a bad loss v France by a point and England lose again v South Africa.
2. T20 Cricket. No one really cares about Australian short form cricket anymore. mainly because the ACB don't care. What a pack of wombats. They schedule international games and rest half of the team. All about the money, but has anyone seen a cricket promo on TV in the last five years? The tickets and food prices are ridiculous. You could get a very big dinner at home for that price.
By the way, Australia won on Saturday night and lead 2-0 in the best of three games somehow.
They have lost the hearts and minds - and the car park. Maybe a jingle or two from Mojo could help!
3. Football - Socceroos. A draw v Saudi Arabia was a good result this week just gone. Popovic has had two draws now...v Japan and v Saudi Arabia. The Socceroos sit in second spot after a recovery of sorts. They need a few goals though... Japan have almost wrapped up one of the spots. The loss v Bahrain will be costly, however they have a chance to avenge this on Wednesday night.
4. Mike Tyson. Nearly died and came back, but it was all a bit embarrassing. He looked overweight, but will always be remembered as a tough hombre, amid other things.
5. Shield Cricket. Renshaw has finally hit a ton. Sirens please as some one like Greg Chappell will now recommend him. Cameron Bancroft has fallen in a hole sadly. None of our bowlers are dominating... Jackson Bird took ten wickets, but we are in a weak era all of a sudden. India will be ready for us.
6. NRL. So many loose signings at present, but a brutal game now. Produce or be ended. Parramatta's pace improvement is long overdue. Both Joash Papalii and Jordan Samrami are inexperienced but blistering...with the Fox, Lomax and Isaiah Longi, the likely new fullback. Pace wins with Brown and Moses as well. It turns games. Hunt and others better get cracking with the BIC biro or England beckons.
Soni Luke is a top hooker who should be targeted by a lot of clubs. He has played 20 games in three seasons for the Panthers... surely a good option for clubs like Parramatta.
7. NSW Open. Lucas Herbert (67 final round) winning by 3 strokes was pretty smart. Cam Smith (74 final round) gave it away a little sadly. He needs to consolidate over the bigger four round distance. Does LIV golf affect them that much? Trump should have that PGA-LIV divide cured any day now...
