    *Official* NRL 2012 Season thread

    Didn't see much difference in Tim Grant and the other NSW front row options in Woods, Galloway, Snowden, Mannah, Hunt, Tolman and Merrin. High work rate, but don't really bend the line like Queensland options like Hannant, Shillington and Scott. Though if any of them were given a decent run at...

    Once again we don't step up against the lesser sides in comp. Our five worst performances against Eels, Titans, Panther, Roosters and Raiders. Wish we could play the top teams each week. Oh well that was a weekend wasted in Penrith. Really missed Jason King in the front row and K Foran in the...

    You could say the same thing about Union and AFL. The only difference is that those codes have made an effect to establish itself on the non tradition markets and at least developed a niche. If League made a greater effect in Perth and Adelaide, they could have a niche like Storm and Force...

    **Official** Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2012

    Mahela opens in ODIs and T20Is now, reckon Test matches is might the nature progression. His inability to play swing is over rated especially on the flat tracks of Sri Lanka. The no rule about opening batsmen not being all rounders, but the management are looking for a reason to make him stop...

    **Official** Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2012

    Hafeez gets some good drift but Mahela might just be ok against him. Would love Mathews to open but that would mean he would give up on being an all rounder. Not a huge loss but I can't see it happening. Reckon there is more chance of Chandimal opening.

    **Official** Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2012

    I thought they struggled in general that series, apart from a couple spells. He owned India more, but Pakistan didn't look too comfortable that series. I actually don't think Mendis has bowled that bad recently. It just the expectations are too high after the great start to his career.

    I don't think Merrin or Stewart were that bad. Both got outclassed by Tamou and Bird/Lewis. But I can't see the potential alternatives would do better. Burher was waste of selection by only playing five minutes. Reckon Gallen would have more effective with a break and an extra front rower in...

    **Official** Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2012

    If Mahela opens, it leaves a spare batting spot for Chandimal and allows up to play Prasanna as keeper. I doubt Mendis will play Tests, but he is good chance of making the ODI squad. We really need look to find a long term replacement for Herath and not be left with short term replacement like...

    In terms of matches no. But in terms of time yes. But that is mainly cus they played so much at the start of his career.

    He does have a very biased point.

    *Official* NRL 2012 Season thread

    For the average one-eyed fan it usually. AFL or NRL or Union Daylight There nothing else on TV NRL or AFL or Union Union generally hated as much by one-eyed fans as the other two codes. But they are all expects on the other sports after watching one game per year.

    Yeah at the start of his career, when he did well against everyone.

    Sri Lanka news: Ajantha Mendis named in Sri Lanka provisional squad | Sri Lanka Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo Sri Lanka's Provisional squad. I doubt Mendis or Fernando will make the final squad, I wouldn't expect too many surprises in the final squad.

    *Official* NRL 2012 Season thread

    Was thinking the same thing. Lets hope we don't get any more injuries to NSW 2nd row. We could end up with another back-size 2nd rower in Hoffman. You know you can't have another normal size 2nd rower (Watmough) or even a front rower that can play 2nd row in TLL. Oh well, really looking...

    I can't believe the didn't pick Sims. They finally recognise there is only a handful of players in NSW with the talent to get close to the Queensland side and pick Hayne and Jennings purely on talent. But don't pick Sims over Creagh. Would prefer an extra front rower in TLL over Burher. I'm...

    **Official** Sri Lanka in England / Scotland - 2011

    Can I please pick the Sri Lankan team FFS. Chandimal averages 100 odd in FC. Thurshara and Kulasekera may not be any special but at least they will average around 40 in Tests and both can bat. Give Randiv a run or try or get Mendis back in form by playing him. Hearth only good in Sri Lanka.

    Australian Domestic Offseason 2011

    A bit overkill all this doomday talk. I actually think Peter Forrest move is good sign. Teams like NSW and Victoria will have get rid of some more of fringe players that they can't fit into their smaller FC and OD squads. These players go on and play for other states and improve the depth of...

    Sangakkara was selfish to quit as captain !

    The issue with Sangakkara leaving as captain was the fact they didn't groom Dilshan was vice captain when he was captain. They have Jayawardene as vice captain during his time. Even this series they put Sangakkara as vice captain. Your never going to groom a new captain unless you give them a...
