LeftArmSpinner says:
I am a sports nut. I played 20 seasons of Rugby and 25 seasons of cricket here, in the UK and Singapore.
In the name of honesty, I will come clean and disarm sledges from my former teammates.
On the rugby field, I was a non tackling, slowish fullback who could catch and kick.
On the cricket field, I was an all rounder: slip fielder, left arm leg spinner who didn't turn the ball and top or middle order batsman.
My playing days are over. I coached 9 seasons of junior cricket and learnt more in those days than as a player. From not winning a game for two seasons to winning an U11 grand final with the almost perfect performance, 5/204 from 50 overs then dismissing the opposition for 66.
I have been lucky enough to have watched live sport at SCG, SFS, ANZ, Lords, The Oval, Twickenham, Murrayfield, Cardiff, Landsdowne Road, Parc De Prince, Aintree (Grand National), Epsom, Royal Ascot, Randwick, Flemington, Stamford Bridge, Sandwich (British Open) Foxboro (NE Patriots) Soldier Field and others.
With three sons, I regularly watch 10 games of rugby each winter weekends.

written like a forward……………. let me add that the backs are the ones getting it done……………..cooper and genia are in rare form. the cleverness of their play will bring the crowds back. Ioane is running straight, hard and fast. Morahan is developing well and doesnt seem out of place at s14. Hynes is just doing what he does.
Robbie deans has his fingerprints all over this group. he first picked Hynes from the wilderness of the QLD wing and he has been a revelation. then he promoted genia ahead of others and gave cooper a chance. He also selected Ioane and discovered Morahan. But, one of the goods is Jim McKay the qld backs coach and link. they have the backs playing to their potential……….. congrats. some may remember that I was a strong critic of link when winning ugly was the mantra at the tahs. To his credit, he has learnt from his mistakes and the results are their to see. well done!!!!

Interesting choice of youngsters. I’m with you all the way. Not sure that Faingaa is in the same class as the others but, he is certainly playing some good rugby. He is showing Carter to be out of position at the tahs. Carter is simply not a 13, but that discussion is for another day. Some of the others that come to mind are Mowen, Higginbotham, Kingi, Daley and Weekes for starters.
And then there is the sorry Beale, once clearly ahead of Cooper and not clearly not even in the frame for a tahs start. He has been done no favours by the tahs since he arrived and has made a few mistakes himself.

i watched qualifying, and then the first 15 or so laps. when there was still no real change to the grid starting order, I switched off and went to beddie byes. I watched the highlights package on the internet, it ran about 25 seconds. I got it all in that time. compare that to a Reds game these days……………
