From last week.
Black armband weekend for footy tippers, which probably means football itself is the winner.
I’d be happier if it was because the competitions were close instead of wildly inconsistent.
AFL, 5/9: I’m prepared to concede Richmond winning was not that much of a surprise, but all the other three results defy credulity. I think Guy McKenna’s term as Gold Coast coach took a terminal blow last weekend as GWS showed the value of a couple of premiership coaches to a team.
NRL, 2/7: Okay, I was working on a hunch Paramatta could score 34 points against Canberra, I just didn’t figure they could let 40 points in. As for the others, if the same round was on this weekend I’d still pick all the same choices.
And what about those Queensland Reds?
