The season previews are starting to roll out, spring practice is out of the way, media days are in progress and, despite the season still a couple of months away there are plenty of great games to look forward to – and maybe book some tickets for.
Fox Sports has become an easy and understandable target for many sports fans, especially recently. And now ESPN are beginning to leave many fans scratching their heads.
This week saw the release of the Ashley Madison account data, a dating site for married individuals looking for an affair. This has resulted in a few strained marriages around town.
Every season we go through the talk of the NRL draw not being fair, as fans of one team battling for a spot in the eight feel aggrieved that another team had an easier run.
How invasive was he? And what are you basing that on?
Can Phil Gould really call his time at Penrith a success?
what 5 year plan? Got a link to it?
Phil Gould reportedly set for Panthers exit in the coming days
Do you know what the 5 year plan was? Or do you just listen to the News Ltd spin about him?

Why do we need 6 commentators for one game? I’ve seen World Cup finals with one commentator, Super Bowls with two but we need 6 duck eggs talking gibberish for a Round 6 game. Pull a drunk out of the crowd, they will add more then Andy Raymond
Eight talking points from NRL Round 6
They don’t have the points in them, and they don’t threaten teams. The fact that they have the least number of errors in the competition isn’t a positive, but just highlights the fact that they don’t try anything, just play simple football. It is reflected on the scoreboard as defences aren’t challenged. This can be put down to poor coaching and the creative players aren’t up to it. It’s not just the halves, they have the least number of dummy half runs. These player will not improve unless they are challenged, you learn be tring and failing, not being a robot
It’s easy to have an 80% completion rate when you just go one out and kick. It’s even easier to defend against. They don’t even attempt to challenge the defense – decoy runs LAST, tackle breaks LAST, linebreaks SECOND LAST
This is the type of football they sacked Hasler for. At least he won games
The Bulldogs won't be wooden spoon winners
LOL, like that “metrix” is credible. Lets start a professional tiddlywinks team and a professional quidditch team and a professional thumb wrestling team to boost those numbers
Melbourne will never be in thrall to rugby league, and that's marvellous
You don’t know what indigenous means. It comes from the latin word meaning native. It is not restricted to people of this land pre-1788

There are zero credible metrics to back up the claim that melbourne is “the sporting capital of the world”

Bad luck. Matt Nicholls gets bored on Good Fridays, so get to work
Time to bring in Good Friday racing, plus five Saturday tips
No. Teams live up to their means. Give them more money and they’ll spend more money
The greatest NRL home ground advantage is in the spreadsheets
Breeding is part of the industry. Owners are doing exactly what you and I would do. Trapeze Artist is getting 90k, The Autumn Sun 70k, risk free, little chance of injury. Trapeze Artist will need to serve just 18 mares to match the winners prize money for the TJ Smith.
Redoutes Choice added more to the local racing industry in his first 2 years in the barn then anything he would have done had he raced on
It’s not the breeders that have stopped breeding the stayers, its the buyers who stopped buying them. I’d rather see a race with the field like this years TJ Smith and last years Everest then watch Count Chivas plodding along beating Skybeau and Joss Sticks in an Adelaide Cup. You have to remember that breeders aren’t just breeding for the Australian industry, but are exported to Asia and South Africa, that is what their buyers want too. New Zealand haven’t gone backwards by breeding sprinters, they have done so because they sell horse to Asia at the first possible oppurtunity
Who will be racing's next champion?
Sunlight won’t do anything more. Won a low-rating Coolmore, beating a couple of non-winners, won a handicap on the limit in another G1 and beat Spright and ellizacoom in another. Well beaten in the TJ and Manikato

I don’t think our author had heard of former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson.
Tough questions are lacking in the racing industry
relevant to my comment how?
NRL expansion: The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised
A wildly misinformed article. Antitrust laws alone kill your premise, not to mention Title IX. You’ll have to pay members of the football team the same as members of the mens basketball team, and the same as the womens ten pin bowling team
Why it's time to pay college athletes
It’s not an expansion. Brisbane is an exhausted market

Look at the 17 listed for teams this week. There simply isn’t 2 players per club of standard to give up. Super League players are in the Super League because they are not NRL standard
They don’t want to prop up clubs, they have seen the ponzi scheme the AFL are running in western Sydney and the Gold Coast. How much do you think a Fijian team will cost? And what income will they bring in?

There are not enough players for 16 teams, let alone any more

Where are these players then? They aren’t playing NRL or NSW Cup or Qld Cup

Longchamp for me.
Flemington isn’t great
US tracks are generally garbage. Santa Anita is the same standard as Gosford

I think Murray only goes 1 if Arizona can get the right trade for Rosen. If they don’t I expect OAK to trade up, they have 3 1st rounders they can use as collateral
The first 5 will probably be Murray, Haskins, Bosa, Williams and Allen. It just depends which order. There will be trades to move up. Gray , Sweat and Oliver will definitely go top 10. Denver will waste their pick taking a tall QB

Actually, coaching and player retention was his job. His job was General Manager of Football Operations
Time for Penrith to make it without their dad
