I'm sure he won't find himself on the dole queue at Centrelink.
No doubt a golden handshake on top of his 1.5mil salary last year

Be good if channel 9 just replayed a few good matches from the last few years on Friday night and Sunday afternoon
Channel 9 slammed NRL for financial mismanagement, but even this article surprised me about the number of staff at NRL...
‘Sydney Morning Herald sports editor Chris Barrett reported the NRL now employs about 400 people and compared it to the English Premier League head office which has only 140 staff’

Don't know what to do with myself... No punting, no basketball and soccer!
'The last dance' on Netflix is very good so far. But only 2 episodes are out!

The classic NRL games from the 80s on fox are the best love the footy back then
Yeah been watching old state of origin matches. Lol I was too young to remember some of the mid 90s games, so it's quite exciting if I don't Google the outcome

All I want to see was the 12 years where NSW was simply no match to all the future Queensland immortals: just like when Ray Warren had called so many times like a broken record- Smith to Lockyer to Thurston to Slater to Inglis to Boyd who scored in the corner untouched !!
Haha Boyd was so lucky being next to inglis. All he had to do was fall over

Worst part is Netflix only releasing 2 Eps per week!
Already got blue balls

Anyone watched The Test docu-series on Amazon Prime? Have watched the first 6 episodes, 2 to go. I’m up to the Ashes Series.
Best part is the team meetings, something you would never think you would see.

My thoughts on this (no one is asking, I know)
Spoilers below if you haven’t watched it, so please do not read the following if you care.
1. Overall propaganda for the Australian team to make them seem like “good blokes” and that we’ve gotten over the disgraceful ball tampering. It’s fine, just know what it is.
2. Agree that team meetings and the like are very interesting, though what are they holding back at some points for the camera that is obviously there.
3. Steve Smith seems very weird... good for the team he is no longer captain, and shouldn’t be again. Strange man and don’t think he has the charisma and nous to captain again.
4. Warner - I don’t think the team really like him (surprise). While the others seem to get on well on tour (cards, playing around), i don’t know if that is the case for warner. Polarising guy, sure... but interesting.
5. They barely address the ball-tampering saga... 5 minutes up front in Episode 1, then nothing. Would have been some good opportunities for introspection with Smith, Warner, Bannedcroft, Lehman even.
6. Langer has anger management problems.
7. Don’t think langer is a very good coach whatsoever. Outsourced the ODI preparations to Punter, and the Ashes preparations to Tugga (everywhere else they lost...)
8. The narratives are too obvious sometimes, and they don’t show enough of what happened in the games. i.e., Usman Khawaja’s tour of India and UAE dominated leading up to selection in the CWC team... but that got no mention and it was all about Finch scratching around back into some form.
9. Did not address key selection decisions (Khawaja dropped in ashes, for example) and others
10. In the team meetings early on, Khawaja was the only one with the guts to stand up to Langer on behalf of the team (Langer noted he was a fan of him, but whatever). What was with that idea of changing the team around in the nets when one person got out... ludicrous!
11. That Stokes innings in the Ashes was incredible. Some bad captaincy, for sure... that DRS call, and they should have never gotten that close.
12. They barely showed Test 5.... as it didn’t fit with the fun story conclusion, “we have everyone’s respect back”
Interested in your thoughts, Sabotage? It was a fun series, but part of me wanted to see more cricket, analysis, performance and a little less about Zampa making coffee and Zampa/Stoinis kissing each other
Yes, I am an Usman fanboi and always have been. Tremendous batsman, who never got the support of the establishment for a long enough period of time.
This upcoming summer is going to be like Shield Cricket, or the tours to the UAE... no crowds!
