What a weekend it was.
For just the second time in 23 years, the Eels made the Grand Final and I was there again. Just like I was in 2001 when we roared into the Grand Final as red-hot favourites.
This time we had scraped into the finals and pounded the top 3 sides to make the [...]

I have been pretty damn quiet on this blog lately.
Admittedly, the urge to blog has been surpassed by Twittering, playing silly Facebook games or playing with LaLa and the kids.
But, when State of Origin time comes around, it’s time to wake the sleeping giant.
The team for Origin I was named tonight, and for the first [...]

Tripe. Yet again.
Hey at least the Blues scored 1 try. Pity they forgot how to pass the ball.
Have you ever heard of OFF LOADS, or maybe SPREADING THE BALL, how about SCORING A FREAKING TRY.
Not happy.
Willie Mason – Fuck off and never play Origin again. You talk big. You play shit.
Brett White – Instead of [...]

30- 0.
What a steaming pile of shit.
Seriously. Whilst QLD ran roughshod over NSW, the Blues were atrocious, disgraceful, shithouse, fucked up beyond belief. It was woeful.
We could do nothing better than run one out. Anytime we looked like half…no..make that a quarter of a chance, we’d lose the ball. Penalties against us at stupid times.
Turns [...]

Righty-o. I’m getting better!
I nabbed 6 from 8 last week, and if it wasn’t for my obsession for tipping my beloved Eels every week, I could have gone better.
I now stand at 24 tipped from 40 games. Just follow me. I know what I’m doing.

NRL 2008 – Round 5 Tips
Posted by: Mick on: 11 April 2008
How great is it when footy season is on?
Sure. I do love cricket as well, but it doesn’t have the consistent week in, week out excitement and build-up that the footy season brings.
I tipped 5 last week, which seems to be above average, but still not crash hot.
I’m sitting on 18 from 32 at the [...]

Well, I should have just tipped all home teams last week. It would have given me a perfect round!
I got 5 from 8, which puts me at a score of 13 from 24. Not too crash hot.
But never fear, Round 4 is here and I am looking forward to my Eels starting a win streak [...]
