    Is Latrell Mitchell overrated?

    We will shock the rugby league world in 2025. Mark my words. Latrell to return to career best form and Wayne to get us back to the level we belong. I guarantee we will be the number one contenders to dethrone Penrith. I am not saying they will be dethroned but we will be back to being the...

    1st Test: Sri Lanka v Australia @ Galle Jan 29 - Feb 2, 2025

    Starc has been average for 4 years. Yes he is still capable of the odd great spell and his variety would be a tie breaker IF the other blokes in question were producing similar middle of the road numbers. But when Hazlewood and Boland are so significantly more threatening then neither should be...

    1st Test: Sri Lanka v Australia @ Galle Jan 29 - Feb 2, 2025

    We didn't do this during our best era. When McGrath, Gillespie and Lee were the standouts we didn't give games to Fleming just to include some swing. Starc's swing is not producing exceptional results. It has gone unnoticed but he has only been ok the last few years. When you need to make room...

    1st Test: Sri Lanka v Australia @ Galle Jan 29 - Feb 2, 2025

    Starcs averages in recent years 2021: 33 2022: 28 2023: 30 2024: 31 Perfectly decent but I hate the idea that he should be a certain starter if it means losing either Hazlewood or Boland who produce historically great numbers. They are generational test bowlers. Starc is a very good test...

    1st Test: Sri Lanka v Australia @ Galle Jan 29 - Feb 2, 2025

    The answer is not Boland or Hazlewood. They should both be in the team when fit. Starc has not kept up to the very high standard those two have put in. When everyone is fit Starc should miss out. Not relevant to Sri Lanka but more generally if the pitch is offering nothing for the spinners I'd...

    5th Test: Australia v India @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2025

    Why would anyone drive a hire car from South Australia to Sydney. Surely the fat cats at the BCCI have enough money to hire a car in Sydney.

    5th Test: Australia v India @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2025

    First Konstas, now Webster. We have uncovered two key pieces who look to have what it takes at this level and they will be around for many years.

    5th Test: Australia v India @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2025

    Why is Bumrah being taken away in a car with South Australian numberplates? Conspiracy theory time.

    Entire Wests Tigers Board Sacked

    If the clubs that merged or folded in the 90s were just able to hang on for a few more years literally all of them would be alive now. When tv rights deals were being counted in the millions there wasn't enough to go around. Now they're counted in the billions and we can easily afford 20 clubs...

    5th Test: Australia v India @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2025

    As for Bumrah. I have no problem with what he did. It is a compliment to Konstas that the best bowler in the world is giving him that much attention in his first match. There are lines we don't cross of course but I don't think Bumrah did anything like that. A bit of drama in the middle (without...

    5th Test: Australia v India @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2025

    First of all, called it. Second of all, time to go Usman. Have liked him as a bloke. And he has scored lots of good runs for us. But at 38 unless you are Lebron James or Tom Brady (meaning literally 1 in a million) your eyes and your hands are simply not what they were. Blokes running around...

    5th Test: Australia v India @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2025

    Calling it. Game over. India is cooked. They have given up. Kohli for all his talent is not a back against the wall bloke to win a match from a losing position. Jaiswal was the real danger man and with him out early they are not getting 250.

    5th Test: Australia v India @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2025

    I agree few batsmen in that era were individual difference makers because they were all keeping blokes averaging 50 in Shield out of the team and the depth was always there for the next man up to be good enough. But Langer proved he belonged. You can't fake your average as an opener. You always...

    5th Test: Australia v India @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2025

    I live in Sydney. I know Sydney. The weather will be fine. Hardly a drop of rain over the next 5 days so there will be plenty of time for a result. I notice Cummins said we haven't seen the last of Marsh in the baggy green. Well Steve Waugh said that when Slater was dropped in 2001 and he was...

    4th Test: Australia v India @ MCG Dec 26-30, 2024

    How good is test cricket? We got 474. They were 7/221. And now late on day 4 all 3 possible results are in play. Who in their right mind would ever choose T20 over this?

    4th Test: Australia v India @ MCG Dec 26-30, 2024

    I am ready to make a big call. Jasprit Bumrah is a decent player. An even bigger call: Marsh is not.

    The Game Jerseys, Logos, Mock Ups, Photos ANYTHING

    That implies no special skill on behalf of the club. Have you seen the size of the TV rights deals now? It is impossible to fail. The NRL is too big to fail and the clubs are the same. None of the 90s club deaths or mergers would have happened if they had the tv money the game has now. The...

    4th Test: Australia v India @ MCG Dec 26-30, 2024

    I'd open with Konstas and Khawaja and then replace like for like. If the hitter gets out replace them with a hitter. If the anchor gets out, replace them with an anchor. But I cannot believe that Joel Reddy's cousin who averages 23 in 1st class cricket has hit a ton to potentially save the...

    Opinion Penrith

    Be reasonable. Even I do not have the power the ruin a historic generational juggernaut like this Panthers side. They are the number 1 contenders to go 5 in a row for a reason. No end in sight to that junior production line.

    Opinion Penrith

    BM is moving from Leichhardt to Penrith. Naturally, that means the Panthers will be replacing the Tigers as the team I go for when Souths are not playing. If Souths aren't a contender in 2025 I look forward to being a part of the Panthers bandwagon as they go for the 5peat.
