Another season is over,,

Well, I should probably give up on predictions. As you probably know, St George Illawarra dominated the Sydney Roosters 32-8. To be fair, based on the first half alone my prediction was pretty spot on. What I cannot believe is the performance of the Roosters after they came out of the sheds to face the second half. St George did step it up a cog so I give credit for that but honestly, the Gatton Under 7's could have put up a better battle.

The highlight for me was Frank-Paul Nuuausala in defence at the back-end of the first half. Each hit was an absolute bone-rattler and packed 110% intensity. That is what Rugby League is all about as far as I'm concerned.

Poor old Brian Smith missed out - to Wayne Bennett again. This win seals the deal for Bennett as the game's greatest coach but I really feel for Brian Smith. Hopefully his time will come before he hangs up the coaches clipboard.

Lastly the Australian squad for the Four Nations has been named. Justifiably only two Broncos have been named - Sam Thaiday and the Australian captain, Darren Lockyer. In great news for the club, 4 players qualified for the Young Kangaroos - Gerard Beale, Dane Gagai, Corey Norman and Tariq Sims (Sims has signed for the Cowboys in 2010 however).

Australia plays PNG on the 24th of October, we will bring you a review of the potential demlotion closer to that date. Until next time readers, Waldo.
