To finish this Premier League round first placed Liverpool have beaten last placed Sheffield 3-1 and then in a boil over Chelsea have beaten Manchester United 4-3 scoring two goals in extra time 10th minute, a penalty, and then extra time 11th minute both to Cole Palmer who has a hat trick.

I found an interesting stat on the team which is the most fouled against in the Premier League. It is Tottenham Hotspur with 410 so far this season. Aston Villa were next on 384. Of the Top 3 sides Manchester City were on 324, Arsenal 313 and Liverpool 298. https://www.statmuse.com/fc/ask/most-foule...

I didn’t actually watch the press conference so only just saw this: “Usually when our bench go on, we’ve been keeping the momentum over the the start of the season. “When Joe and Papa went off tonight. I’ve got trust in those players to go on. “But (against Cronulla) we lost everything. We lost all...

Here's hoping the pre-game speech brings the players out all fired up, rather than the dropsies we saw last week.

Interesting thing just mentioned on the Fox League coverage of NSW Cup… which hasn’t been widely reported before. Sanders can negotiate with other teams once he’s played five NSW Cup games. So provided he plays NSW Cup next week, he’s free to negotiate as of next Monday. Today he got a try, two lin...

I am a biased Hors fan, but his first NRL game of the season was full of poor handling. I was expecting his first game to be mostly run hard/tackle hard, but he seemed to have been given a Yeo like passing role. I have no doubt he has the skill to do that, but he is behind on match fitness and it s...

Liverpool are back on top of the Premier League table following their 2-1 victory over Brighton and the Nil all score between Arsenal and Manchester City this morning. All of the top three have deferred matches to play. The current table is: 1. Liverpool - 67 2. Arsenal - 65 3. Manchester City - 64 ...

Two of my favorite players had poor handling games tonight, Xav and Hors. Hors first game back in FG for the year. Schiller needs to learn how to tackle around the legs when his opponent is 10 mtrs from the line and he is the last line of defence. I felt sorry for Rapa in his 200th game for the Raid...

Tim Tszyu beaten on a split decision after 12 rounds. He copped a stray elbow in the 2nd round which opened up the top of his head and he was bleeding so much he had trouble seeing. There was a re-match clause in the contract and I'm sure Tim will want to go ahead against Sebastian Fundora again. ht...

Australian middle weight Michael Zerafa was knocked out in the 2nd round by Erislandy Lara on the Tim Tszyu undercard. He was set up a jab from the southpaw and then finished with a left hand. https://www.foxsports.com.au/boxing/boxing-2024-tim-tszyu-vs-sebastian-fundora-live-updates-blog-fight-star...

Who would you have him in the side for? Hosking or Young.

That's the issue for me TW, there is a betting market for F1 drivers. I'm not a gambler so it doesn't affect me, but the teams manipulated the podium result on the weekend. Piastri got the 'go slow' order and the pits crew obliged to allow Norris the 3rd place in the race. Piastri 4th. Norris is 24 ...

There is also the continuing controversy as to whether the new stadium would make money (see report from the Guardian below) or lose money (see report from the ABC below).

Savage 2024 is night and day compared to Savage 2022. Scrap 2023 cause there’s no real evidence but his game has come a long way since he spent time in firsts. I reckon that's expected Reg. In 2022 he was a young fast teenage footballer with a damaged shoulder. Now he has had 2 more off seasons to ...

Zim, I reckon the 'let 'em race' practice is best. No question then of 'rigging' results, simply best driver and car wins.

Didn't Fifita have both knee and pectoral surgery in the off season. I don't know that he has played a match this year so far. He is on the extended reserves list for this weekend but not named in the 17. The story smells of time to offload a large chunk of the Titans salary cap. Captain Tino gone f...

Congratulations on 250 games Sticky. Another milestone match and another loss. JC's 300th was a loss. Here's hoping Rapa can have some success this week for his 200th game with the Raiders and Papa when his 300th Raiders match comes around later this season.

Very keen to see what happens here. My money would be on Talagi at 6 and Brown at 7. On the money BB. This is what they have done. Interesting that the Eels NSW Cup side have lost their 3 opening games. Ethan Sanders is the half back for that side. Only a few more weeks until the Round 6 deadline i...

I wonder if Justin Giteau is getting some input into selections with his Assistant FG Coaches cap on. He coached Ata and Schiller in NSW Cup last year, also Strange. He is now an assistant FG coach and these players are getting a run. Here's hoping he can replicate the attacking style of last year's...

Sticky has gone for a faster side wth ATA in for Guler and Schiller in for Hoppa over Cotric. Kris was always going to get his spot back.

Based on what? Your opinion? And you saying he'd be in the mix for those clubs is also based on... drum roll please... your opinion? See how that works? :lol: That's the point though.

I went to the NSWRL website and it looks like Raiders v Warriors NSW Cup match will be shown today on live stream at 2pm.

Ferrari goes 1 and 2 in the Australian F1 Grand Prix. Aussie Oscar Piastri finishes in 4th after being told to come in behind his fellow McLaren driver team mate Norris. Best for the team but it would have been nice to see Piastri finish on the podium for his home Grand Prix.

Woolford stinks. Woolfords form in NSW Cup this year has been good and in todays match it was outstanding. All he needs is opportunity. But that comes down to one Coach making the correct decision on team selection. We've seen over the past 2 seasons how much better the FG side goes with Woolf in t...

Very true. There is obvious talent in NSW Cup, with hopefully more on the way. The real challenge is how Ricky correctly introduces them to first grade.
