My public apology to Nathan Lyon
4 Mar 2013I never would have thought I’d be quoting Joni Mitchell but these are desperate times, cricket lovers. So what if it’s about the environment? “Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone”. Garry, I’m sorry. Things in Chennai were tough, I know. There were some good times, [...]
Sheens not to blame for chaos at the Tigers
27 Sep 2012I’m going to come right out and say it. Tim Sheens is not to blame for the current disarray at the Wests Tigers. The facts are there in black and white (and orange).

The ongoing torture of South Sydney fans
15 Mar 2012The low expectations of both Rabbitoh fans and the rugby league media were summed up in their praise of the Bunnies following their run-of-the-mill 24-10 loss to the Storm in Melbourne. Much like the Sharks ‘proud’ losing effort at Leichhardt in round one, there’s an expectation that Souths will build on two consecutive loss in [...]
Stop whinging, Katich brought it on himself
15 Dec 2011Every day I carpool to and from work with a female colleague, who despite having no interest in sport, politely allows me to listen to sports talkback. I was surprised to discover she was actually listening when, halfway through a trip home, she said: ”Will these people ever get over Des Hasler?” It seems they [...]
