The intimidation and manhandling tactics may work on vulnerable sex workers and teenage cricketers, but I bet the cunts would never try that on an old bald fat farang in a dark alley.

We are doing quite well at the moment, the Perth incident was basically a scheduling oversight. Should have started the Test Series in Brisbane and we probably would have beaten the Indians 5-0 !Quote:

Just my two cents.

Australia Open time again.
Have we seen the last of Nick Kyrgios ?
Not always a fan of Nick but when he is playing good tennis and not being a bad boy, it's great to watch.
and according to Wiki, he has won over USD$22 millions in career earnings plus endorsements, so won't be feeling sorry for his career ending pre-maturely, he should be set for life from here.
Just a quick wrap on Nick's tennis career, at 29, his highest ranking was 11, while he hasn't won any major and had only reached a single Grand Slam Final in the Wimbledon in 2022, he had beaten 5 former World No. 1 players in Nadal, Federer, Murray, Novak and Medvedev. So, it's fair to say, at his best, he can certainly match it with the best in the world.
So, do we turn our attention to Alex de Minaur now ? at 25 yr, Alex's highest ranking was 6, currently no. 8 so he has already surpassed Nick in ranking and sitting on USD$16M career earnings and still counting. One thing we can say about Alex is his hard working and playing very consistently, especially in 2024. Let's hope he does well in the AO in 25.
Go Alex,
Go Aussie !!
Cheers.
Will a fired up Novak Djokovic wins his 11th Australian Open Title ?
Why the fuck is Carlos gifting this away...JFC stop making so many errors
JFC sinner just made it look so easy beating de minaur. So Aussies are out of the Australian open. Looks like It's gonna be sabalenka and sinner winning this..
It was comprehensive wasn't it and hard to believe it was #1 v #8 ~ can't see who can stop Sinner although will be interesting with Shelton given his power.Quote:

Broncos looked gone and buried when both Welsh and Carrigan were both in the sin bin (Young was also out) so it was 12 vs 11 !! and the Raiders scored two more tries leading 28-12!
Then Welsh came back and played like a man inspired, scored a try himself and then bang bang the winger and centre on the left side both scored (with Welsh's second 40/20 in the match in between) and the score was 28-26.
BTW, I would expect most of you punters who bet on the footy would have a monster payout yesterday? I DID !! :shout::shout::shout:
When was the last time you see in a final match where no.1 to no. 5 all scored !! Brisbane did.
Then the beauty was, the opposition also scored many tries and all the "right" and "popular" players too in Young, Weekes and Strange !!
My goodness gracious, almost ALL the Same Game Multis "Popular" bets suggestions on Sportsbet had won and in good odds too: $36.25, $35.25, $18, $43. etc. I followed most of them and just put ten bucks each on them plus a few of my own and cashed out nearly 2 grands. same with the Ladbrokes APP
It's been a very long time cuming since my last decent winning, thanks Broncos and thanks Raiders for both scoring so many GOOOOOOOD tries....................haha
and earlier on Saturday, also have a very good day at the races, so many favourites have won. most importantly the three winners from Lindsay Park: Cafe Millenium $9, Arkansaw Kid $4.50 and Mr Brightside $5.5, wins, doubles and triple all saluted.
also got the 3 wins, 3 doubles and triple on Arkansaw Kid, Revelare and Lazzura....................haha
you just can't beat the winning feelings !
Any brother who have a good winning Saturday and Sunday please share.
ps. Let's do it all again next weekend.
ps2. Would have love to have a few punting sessions and spend those winnings but the Mrs just watching so closely lately, no fucking chance !!
hope you all have better freedom out there.
CHEERS
Well done Ah Lungor. With your wife showing more curiosity you'll have to do something more sensible or even boring with the winnings. Given your long career here it is amazing your good wife has not previously developed any clairvoyance.
Glad it’s not just me that sees my Sportsbet wallet as a punting escrow. Treat yourself, with caution of course

I'm sure many of you family men out there will have a similar situation.
Yes, very lucky that I hadn't got caught yet, must keep it that way.............haha
Cheers
ps. I used to have workmates who would arrange a game of golf on the weekend, always told my wife we were playing 18 holes plus a drink at the club house but in fact only played 9 holes and heading to some shop for the 10th hole fun. unfortunately all those friends were now retired and not in contact so there go the perfect punting opportunities. damn !
Good work over the weekend AH. Always good to get some back 💰 The golf rous is the one you need to cultivate more. Plenty of small clubs encouraging the "oldies" to play more. Wife will still be none the wiser. Might even be happy to have you out from under her feet.🤣🤣Quote:

What a dream Rugby League Grand Final we have this coming Sunday:
Two out of town teams who were the losers of the last two GF in Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm. And the end of the 4 times Premiers Penrith Panthers. Well, I think they have won enough titles, should let the other team have a go.
Personally, I would love to see the Broncos get up this time, after all, they did the hard yards of eliminating the Panthers. Sweet revenge for their heartbreak lost in 2023. Last time the Broncos won was back in 2006, so it's been 18 long years for us Broncos fans. and in between, the Storm had won a few already.
On the other hand, if Melbourne gets up, I won't be too disappointed either as their have a few of the key Maroons players there too.
Punting wise, had a couple hundred on the Broncos when they were at $5.50, same with the Storm at $4.50
Then a pineapple bet on the Brisbane Lions and Broncos AFL/NRL double at $21.00
So looking forward to a winning day on Sunday.
Go the Broncos !!
Melbourne are the Broncos kryptonite. I think the Munee Man Munster is gonna have a big one.Quote:

BTW, the Broncos and Storm had only met once in a Grand Final in 2006 and Brisbane won that time..................lol
It will be a Maroons Origin players show down nevertheless: Walsh, Carrigan, Shibasaki and Benny Hunt vs Munster, Grant, Leiero and Coates
Plus a few present and ex NSW Players in supporting cast too Haas, Staggs and Reynolds vs Utoikamanu
Just sit back and enjoy man,
Go Queenslanders !!
Will you be having a "punt" on the game by any chance?

Can't get into it as much as I normally would with two "Queensland" teams in the Grand Final however having said that I respect Bellamy as a coach. I'll still go to a mates place for the yearly grand final BBQ lunch then dinner then game thing. Public holiday next day so will have a few as well.

But it was truly a team efforts too, many players had stood up where it counted:
Redemption for Bunny Hunt, the field goal he kicked in Canberra to put Broncos into the pre-lim and with the all important week off - payback for the drop ball on kick off in the 2015 GF loss to Thurston's field goal thereafter in the golden point.
Redemption for Captain Reynolds, the sideline conversion he kicked in Suncorp to eliminate the 4 times Premier Panthers and lead Broncos into the Grand Final surely made up for the goal he missed when Panthers won their first.
Funny thing is, both Hunt and Reynolds (with 700+ NRL games between them) were on the sideline when the "baby Broncos" fought hard to defeat the Storms and won their first Premiership in 19 long years.
You could not have written a more dramatic and more heart warming script !
My report card: you can do the sum for what I collected on Sunday night based on the above, for a small time punter, I think I did good, riding the Broncos/Walsh train into the sunshine and moonlight. I couldn't believe my luck when most of the try scorers I have been backing throughout the years and in recent games had all scored in the GF!!
One ticket especially worthy of a mention was the double/double I placed on the NRLW/NRL: Broncos 1-12, Upton try on to Broncos 1-12, Walsh try @$20.00
Hope all you Queenslanders out there had a great Sunday evening and win big - you all should have - if you had footy bet.........................haha
Go Broncos
Go Queensland
Until next seasons.
Cheers
ps. pity the Mrs is watching so tight lately and no chance to spend my winnings.................lol
