Everest: Redzel will give them something to catch!

[rooter]

The Everest is bullshit.
It has about as much sporting validity as the Mayweather v McGregor fight, or a dog fight, or a cock fight, or a My Kitchen Rules cook off, or a The Bachelor bitch fight.
It's not sport, it's a freak show, a circus act, a Kardashian extravaganza.
It's the "if we throw enough money gained from extractive industries, arms dealing, drug dealing, property speculation, organised crime, casinos, etc into it, then it must be important" attitude.
Anyway She Will Reign will win it, it's a sure thing.
We all love a bet
Enjoy!

Everest: Redzel will give them something to catch!

We will know who has come back well and in form after the Shorts at Randwick this Saturday:

If Redzel is any chance in the Everest, he should win this. Chautauqua and English are also resuming in that race !

Hingis and Kournikova '99 ohhhhhh

Only time Anna had won a Major (in Doubles)

Broncs are in. Cowboys tomorrow. Could it be 3 qld teams in the final???

[Benji.marshall]

Swans were terrible tonight...

Canelo v GGG a real boxing match finally... great weekend of sport

[Tall Focker]

Yeah, in an MMA fight McGregor would just take him to the ground and just pound or submit him.
But Mayweather would never agree to an MMA fight with McGregor - he is not stupid.
Watch the Couture v Toney fight to see what happens when a boxer takes on an MMA fighter.

Yeah I remember it , Toney got choked and didn't know how to get out of it. That's why the guy with home court advantage is always gonna win

[Tall Focker]

I think it's more of Mayweather dragging him into later rounds. Fans would not be pleased if it ended in three. Mayweather hardly threw a punch in the first three rounds.

The whole thing was all a spectacle to begin with so everyone could make a shitload of money. Mayweather wasn't himself at all in the first three. The whole thing was like a WWE fight. But credit to Conor in the first few rounds he was a tough competitor regardless . The guy with home court advantage in these kind of things usually wins. Only person who could do well in a boxing bout would be someone like Mark Hunt who could straight KO the guy

Broncs are in. Cowboys tomorrow. Could it be 3 qld teams in the final???

The Broncos were very brave last night and losing three players along the way so the efforts were huge.

Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park is a very different story though. Especially after the scare from the Eels on week one, the Storm is not going to slip . But then again stranger things had happened in this final series, no one had given the Cowboy any chance last week either.

Swans were terrible tonight...

I could not believe the Swans could have such a bad game at the G , losing is one thing, beaten by 59 points and scoring only 39 is simply unacceptable! It's now a very long off seasons until the next bounce !

Broncs are in. Cowboys tomorrow. Could it be 3 qld teams in the final???

Great win by the Cowboys tonight and you got what you have wished for:

Three Qld team vs the Roosters !

Am Parra boy thru n thru. We were shit in stages for too long last week and tonight.

Well, Michael Morgan is an Origin Player and Corey Norman is not.

Nick just won the first set in a very tight tiebreak in the reverse single against Belgium. Australia is leading 2-1 in this Davis Cup tie, if Nick can win this match, he will take the Aussie to the Final!

Live on 72 now,

Go Ausssie !!

[AHLUNGOR]

We loss 3-2 to Belgium in the end so no final Davis Cup final glory.

"Despite the disappointing result, Nick Kyrgios's conviction in Belgium couldn't be questioned." according to ABC Sports headlines.

And I tend to agree, there was no million dollar pay cheque at the end but the honour and duty to play for your county and Nick fought all the way to the end , I only watched three sets and thought he was gone so didn't get to see the 4th set when he finally broke back and levelled the set 4 all only to lose his own serve next and the set and the match .

Winning the first set was a huge effort but losing the opening service game in the 2nd set handed back the momentum and he never recovered. The opponent is ranked 12th in the world , probably even higher on clay, so no disgrace there. But in this match we see lots of fight and perhaps the real future of Australian tennis, get a good coach and stay close to Hewitt please Nick!

Hope to see more of this morning's Nick in years to come !

You're doing well Mate !

Ps. For those who are interested: 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
