Off-season ramblings

For those of you back from Mad Monday celebrations - feel free to chatter away on this page until season 2017 begins...if you want.

The 2016 NRL Grand Final

Here we are kids...it's the 201st game of the 2016 season. Enjoy your NRL grand final.

Finals - week three

Just four teams remain in contention this weekend as we determine our grand finalists for 2016.

Finals - week two

Another weekend of finals football, and another two games played outside Sydney. That's five of the six finals thus far. Thankfully the Swans are playing and Winx is running around, so those in the Harbour City have something to do this weekend.

Finals - week one

Finals football...finally, and while Sydney is reminding us they are the centre of the rugby league universe we have three of the four finals taking place elsewhere. Two of those finals don't involve Sydney sides at all.

Round twenty six selections

One more round everyone. Last drinks.

Round twenty five selections

Just two rounds remaining, and our final eight teams are all but sorted.

Round twenty four selections

Three weeks to go, and the jostling for positions gets uglier than the Blood in the Water water polo match between Hungary and the USSR at the Melbourne Olympics.

Round twenty three selections

I don't believe this site has been hacked, but if I get 0 from 8 this round you all know what happened.

Olympics Gold Medal tally-a-thon

Here is the Olympics tally competition page folks...feel free to chatter away about the Rio Games here all you like.
