As Rhys Darby would say – typical.
Even tho the Nix have got off to a decent start – the best start by a NZ franchise yet before yesterday’s loss to Sydney – the future is still far from certain.
The SMH covered the issue in detail during the week (and also commented positively about the performance [...]

OK here goes live blogging and all that entails.
Bulldogs 10 – Warriors 4.
At least two dodgy decisions so far. In fact, the Warriors haven’t had the ball since they were on attack and a knockon was incorrectly ruled.
Heremaia off, Henderson on.
What if Heremaia played for the OTHER team?
Heremaia was a Bulldog
Was a good friend of [...]

I’m not really a petrolhead so I must admit this is a little left field for me.
Off the track but still on the race track, if you know what I mean.
Actually, if truth be told (I wouldn’t make a politician would I??) I was actually looking for a vid of the Buzzcocks’ song Fast Cars.
Instead, [...]

Ex Warriors captain Monty Beetham models the Warriors new strip for 2010.
The team name will change to the Penrose Leopards for the first two games of the season and from then will be known as the Penrose Pussies.

I shouldn’t really waste some of my better work on a title.
Mind you, some may think that if the title stoops to a pun, there’s not much point in reading the whole post.
Still the Poms won back the Ashes more through winning little battles rather than a large war. The Aussies scored more centuries and [...]

Yogi Berra* was famous for the immortal line:
“This is like deja vu all over again.”
Kind of like watching the All Blacks at the weekend.
So many times in the past (or at least so we think) we’ve got so close yet been so far away. The last minute failures are now legend.
So imagine how the Aussies [...]

Drops are drops.
Unfortunately, I won’t be up all night blogging the almost certain decline of the Australian cricket empire.
This may whet the appetite – Warne dropping the Ashes:
Poor Warney. Nevermind.
Actually, there was a time when things were better. Must have been the haircut.

Nope, not the latest result for the Phoenix (by the way, three games, 1 win, 1 loss, 1 draw aint a bad start).
It’s the score between the Great Redeemer and the Man Who Can Walk on Water – Robbie Deans.
Mind you it could be the number of eyes for a typical Jafa (four eyes plus [...]

Shock horror probe.
How crafty are those Aussies getting?
Not only do they cheat their way to the top, but the bloody Aussies are now accusing our Ritchie of cheating!!!
Analysis of the opening Bledisloe Cup game shows McCaw flagrantly entering the side of the ruck at least seven times, and contesting kicks while offside on at least [...]
