The S Files : Episode 60

On a another glorious day in Queensland the Tinman & Shabs sat down on Anzac day to record another episode of the S Files.  After seeing how a few results panned out over the weekend it would have been interesting to see how it would have panned out if recorded on our normal Sunday afternoon session.

The NRL is in serious trouble if it keeps turning in results every weekend where fans & punters alike are dudded by referee errors that are changing the result. It cannot be co-incidence that we are seeing such horrendous decisions every week. And it seems that the NRL administration is doing little to remedy it and unfortunately the media feel like saying little as well. It is time that maybe a few of the so called experts in Sydney stopped focusing on how NSW get ripped off every year in Origin and focus on the real problem. If the game continues in this way it is going to do a lot of damage that will take a long time to repair.

The Tinman stopped watching AFL purely for the way the game changed. It is a game where rule interpretation changes from minute to minute and borders on bias too often. Then add in how the administration has handled the game outside of Melbourne.  This is a rant for next week it looks.

We did take time to look at a few other issues in the game. We found time to also talk about Rugby where as a whole the Australian conference is doing well and this can only bode well for the International season.

Football is at a nervous point with the Brisbane Roar playing the semi final this afternoon. Whilst red hot favourites, anyone knows that sudden death football is never a certainty. The nerves won't be over at the end of this game though with the big game happening later tonight when Liverpool take on Chelsea for what will eventually decide the title. Expect Chelsea to park the bus but it will take a lot to hold out the attacking forays by the SAS.

We wrapped up the episode by giving out a StubbyStrip award and without a doubt it had to go to Chris Lynn who pulled of a man of the match performance and capped it off with a screamer in the outfield.
