Howland was small, the Whippet was a nippy speedster in the Kerry Boustead mould. According to footy card stats: Howland 173cm, 76kg in 2001. Boustead 173cm, 73kg in 1981.

Great read Barry. One of my favourites was Sam Isemonger, whole hearted tackling machine who battled through many injuries.

The forgotten players: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks

Thanks Mooty, let’s call it even.

So you only like political involvement in sport when it’s convenient for your sheltered life. The fact Adelaide and the SA govt in conjunction with CA gave first class cricket the opportunity to start the season counts for nothing in your eyes. Sounds like your only concern is the big $$ end of cricket, nothing wrong with that, but please spare us your naive sentiment.

So CA doesn’t have a stakeholder engagement plan inclusive of all state governments across Australia? Was it your idea to kick off the Shield season in Adelaide or did it happen by chance? Tell me more about this fantasy world you live in.

Great call. Looked like Roger Harper had him covered, sweet strike, thankfully not straight enough to intercept the umpire.

To think sport and politics don’t mix is fanciful. I mean have a look at the SCG Trust, not uncommon to have ex State premiers on the books and other political mouthpieces the likes of Alan Jones navigating the way. To build or not to build at ANZ and the SFS were important State election voting points. Now there’s a pandemic and you think CA are up to going solo, c’mon.

Thanks Paul, nothing wrong with cheap laughs to open the year, Mitcher just adding to the colour.

But we want those we vote for to have political influence, don’t we? In the case of COVID, I wonder if national guidelines as opposed to the States would reduce confusion.

Those in lock down wont have a Test to go to, but should they have a choice – strange indeed.

NRL a good point, really need lower grades operating too. Big ask requesting players to cover injuries without games under their belt.

That’s the problem, I’m not sure which is the bad look now, the northern beaches lockdown or 50% at the SCG.

Yep, there’s plenty of ‘yes, no … sorry’ about the next couple of weeks.

That’s sad, Bernie. I would’ve expected a decent comp given the size of Qld’s regional centres.

Plenty are white, doesn’t matter, you can still mine through or under them. Nothing like a cyclone dump to clear the red dust – the Aussies could do with one to clean between their ears.

It’s certainly a deep hole. Tough to disagree, India short odds to make the SCG pitch look placid with the bag and a viper with the ball.

Whatever unfolds, pretty safe to say his best games will have unfolded from the wing. Love watching him go round and hope he earns true value.

I really enjoyed watching Dugan at the back for the Raiders, totally different body shape back then, flexible like a rubber band. Tough trade off – bulk up for longevity but lose the flexibility that created the points.

I’m no expert on this but I do understand where Mitchell is coming from, Mundine too. Same message in local language must hurt, especially if you’ve always been against that message.

Small steps I guess.

Good point. What is it with wingers racing in when the numbers match – good topic for another rant.
