With Bundaberg facing it's worst natural disaster in history and events still unfolding, Sporting Sport Opinions recorded on dry land at the Coral Cove International Golf Course Bar & Restuarant. With all intention to drink a few Budweisers in recognition of all the buds out there helping those in need, it was no surprise that there were none available. Not to be deterred we carried on and after a recording hiccup we eventually got our thoughts recorded. (Tip for MD, make sure that all the equipment is pugged in next time).
As expected we started off talking about the devastation from the floods that has affected our town of Bundaberg before talking about the big issues in sport this week.

| Just one of the many connections Geale made that Mundine never remember |
It is no surprise that we went straight into the boxing farce that is Anthony Mundine and the pounding he won't admit he received. The Sideline Reporter also had a great word to sum up Mundine.
From there we went to the controversial issue which is the whinging chuckers from Sri Lanka and a crack at the Australia Selectors love affair with Steve Smith was never going to be missed. Steve Smith was given the Ben Test and came up a little short. An unexpected bonus was being able to talk about the Australia vs West Indies game that should have only be half over but instead was a rip off if you paid top dollar to watch the game. Strangely enough though we reserve criticism for an Australian player. Can you guess which one?

MD reluctantly talks about Livepool FC who did not have a great week and special mention goes to the Brisbane Roar for their generous effort for the flood appeals.
The game in heaven, Rugby, is back on the agenda with Super Rug by trials starting this weekend and with the loss of another Australian Test player overseas. For some reason Australian Rugby is still maintaining that by having a salary cap when New Zealand & South Africa don't is good.
If we are talking rugby then you know we will be talking about the NRL and with more changes to the All Stars lineup, a crack a the concept cannot be missed. An update on the Titans is also par for the course.
Finally before the awards we announce the Sports Flood Appeal that we have started in support of the Bundaberg Netball Association, Bundaberg Junior Cricket Association & North Bundaberg Football Club, who are all facing a major rebuild after their facilities and members have been hit very hard.
As always we finish with the awards and it seems that the Channel 9 cricket commentary team are trying hard to win the Marto for 2013 and the DRS is putting in a good effort for the Bryce award. The SSO Fail was a close call but it seems a Chain of Fools top the nomination for the week.
