A-League Preliminary Fianl/ EPL Gameweek 29/ Super Rugby Round 3 Megatips

Megatips time for this week, and in a first we welcome our other staff members from our podcast to this wonderful post. The Phantom (Chief AFL Analyst) and Tomo Yee (International Correspondent) will be with us every week throughout the season. We’ll get a better idea whether Matt and Adrian are truly great tipsters, or whether they’ve been purposefully holding these guys back so they wont show them up. Last week wasn’t such a good week for the Co-Owners of this very website, so let’s move on from that and see if the inclusion of others can inspire some truly great tipping performances! Read more…

Car Parkin’

February 25, 2011 1 comment

This past Monday, I made a journey I know very well. You may too. It ends with a hasty left turn into Culloden Rd (you may prefer Balaclava Rd, I mean, it does have a pretty bad arse name), and a right turn into the drive of Macquarie University.

As I drove up the winding road, I knew what challenge was ahead of me. Obtaining a car park. Read more…

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…

Super Rugby- Australian Conference Preview

Adrian: Yes, the Super Rugby season is upon us for yet another year. However, 2011 is shaping to be a season of great importance.
