The S Files - Episode 79

The NRL season has wrapped up and the summer sport season is under way. In another coffee table installment the Tinman & Shabs were missing as some imperial wannabes filled in cover the topics dominating sport.

The NRL final seems like it was last year but Souths fans will make sure we here about it for years to come. Now it is time for the International season and with 20+ players making themselves unavailable due to injury etc, it may be a close competition. Just a shame that certain media personalities want to have a dig at those who pulled out due to surgery requirements. 

Australian Rugby is in a world of hurt off the field as much as they are on the field. There have been rumours circulating for a long time that Kurtley Beale wants to play league and he has certainly made all the move to never be able to play rugby in Australia again. There is more to the story to come out but it isn't a pretty look for the ARU. There are problems with Australian Rugby and it needs to be sorted out.

The A-League season is under way and great crowds have been seen from the first game. The Wanderers forgot to turn up to the game opener as the Melbourne Victory fresh with new signing Berisha humbled them. Seems the media loves the Albanian now that he is not playing for the Roar but it won't be long until he gets a red card. There is also a few international game going on at the moment but not many will want to talk about Australia after another dismal effort.

Summer means cricket and the Aussies are making easy work of Pakistan at the moment in one day games. England is falling apart and not many reports on the game fail to mention Kevin Pietersen. In the domestic one day competition an example of how media coverage has too much control is playing out. But it is nothing new for Channel 9 to dictate to a sport what it should do.

In the wrap up it is mentioned that the Grey Fox may be returning with some racing tips for the Spring Carnival. We will be recording on Fridays and Saturdays and have tips for Sunday. Always remember to gamble responsibly.
