Needs more cheer
On Sunday night, I set off to ANZ Stadium for the annual pre-season fixture, the Charity Shield, played between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and St George Illawarra Dragons. It was a pretty alright game for a trial, with the Dragons proving to be far too strong in the end, finishing up victors 32-10.
As the sides made their way out onto the pitch, I noticed something. Lining each side of the main tunnel was a group of women, each holding what I could make out to be balls of streamers, or something similar. I was initially confused and greatly concerned. Read more…
Nintendo 3DS Australian Launch Event Coverage
After much hype and speculation, the Nintendo 3DS was revealed to the gathered gaming media on Tuesday night in a rather crowded pier in Sydney’s Dawes Point. I’ve got to say, going into the event I hadn’t kept up with a lot of the specific details on the system, so I was going in with an open mind, ready to be impressed.
And impressed, I was. Read more…
We need the Rovers
This week I thought I’d focus on an A-League team yet to play a single game in the top flight competition. And, they never will. If you’re a football fan, you’ve probably heard of them. Read more…
Digital TV is GO!
It seems nowadays all our traditional media are slowly yet surely gravitating towards digital technology. Newspapers are strengthening their online distribution models (with the iPad becoming a device of greater significance than was first thought), and Radio is transitioning to its own digital service. TV is no different. I thought this week that I’d take a look at digital TV in Australia, what it means for everyone involved, and also make sure you know when your area is switching over. Read more…
Asian Cup 2011- Previewed
Yeah OK, I might be a bit too excited about the Asian Cup… I mean, it is the second week in a row that I’m going to be discussing it in my blog… But eh, let’s go with it. It’s going to be awesome. Come on… You know it will be. I thought I’d take a look at each of the groups, and rate the chances of each of the nations. This could be interesting. Read more…
Radio- changes ahoy!
For my second blog post, I thought I’d try something a little different. I’m going to move away from sport for a second, so we’ll see how all this turns out.
The end of this year signaled a bit of a mix up in radio land, with numerous hosts in Sydney and around the national networks switching stations and time slots. Add to this the return of one very prominent figure in Australian radio, and I think that it’s an incredibly interesting and exciting time for those who tune into their wireless (and I mean, who doesn’t?!)

NRL Draft?
The winds of change are blowing through the NRL. The long talked about and much hyped Independent Commission is not too far off now, and with it comes a renewed sense of hope and vigour for the future of the game. The current arrangement has been a bit of a balancing act, and it’s time for a change. With the Commission, it is hoped that fresh ideas are bought to the table to help maximise the great product that rugby league provides. This is why I propose, along with a few other changes, that we introduce a draft system into the NRL. Read more…
