Because this was the gout of defeat did not know he needed

No, they are the overall results that give interest. For most of the last four seasons it has been the key point of interest: who will be beaten by Penrith in the final?

That is, it is clearly no longer like that. With a single victory with four games, the panthers are struggling like a Ferrari who is missing a couple of pistons – in their case, Jarome Lui and bees Korisau. In their place at the top of the scale, Canterbury is beautiful with four out of four victories and the intelligent money is divided between them and the broncos to win this year.

The tigers also won a couple of games – while the eels, Without Clint GuthersonThey are the new tigers. In these days they are entitled to a tour of victory if they win as much as the launch. The point is that it is not the same old, same old man, but it is instead a new comp, with new results.

Hard work beats everything

Thanks, thank you all. TFF received, if I say it myself, a phenomenal response to mine piece this week to chat with Dennis LilleeIn view of his first public appearance in Sydney in ten years at the end of this month, when he speaks The dinner of the Chappell Foundation April 30th. (Tickets available.)

My theme was that even 50 years later, Lillee still has that thing about him who once again reduces the 63 years like me to ten years of age, as we remember how it was to look at him in his pump. Since then I have been flooded with messages and and -mail and I love this memory of Alan Campbell, former president of Selectors for the new South Wales.

“When we managed the Pace Australia program in Sydney,” he recalls, “Dennis was addressing a group of rapid young people. Probably boys such as Brett Lee, Nathan Bracken, etc.”

The young people lean, notebooks in hand. Hark! The great man speaks.

“There are three things that make a great fast pitcher”, Lillee begins. “I wish you write them.

“No.1: hard work.”

“No.2: bloody hard work and …

“No.3: F — Ing Douro. Now, we get to the goals …”

Closed class.

Follow the beer money

Still on Brett Lee, at least tangentially, and the eyebrows were raised this week when a curious creditor emerged for the Sydney Beer Company-for which Lee was the public face and minor shareholders, although never a director or director of daily-“operations that went due to ten million dollars.

As reported by Financial review“The McGrath Foundation, a charity group that raises funds for breast cancer and support in the community and is led by another former international fast international bowl player, Glenn McGrath, is due $ 33,000”.

I know. Really strange that a beneficial organization of breast cancer should be a creditor of a beer company. On the occasion of the investigation, however-so-in-the-system was firmly said by a spokesperson: “The McGrath Foundation did not make an investment in Sydney Beer Co. The money due refers to the support that Sydney Beer Co has committed itself as a company partner of the McGrath Foundation in the fall fall by the Support of the Support A Outs-UP. Cancer.”

We were told!
