One of the greatest catches I’ve seen taken by a wicket keeper. Unbelievable Alex Carey

All i will say is that i feel sorry for rugby league fans who don’t have Fox. Channel 9 need to do something about their callers. This is unlistenable.

The definition of a turning point. Game changing error.

What the hell was Sean Keppie doing ? That was a horrendous attempt at a tackle.

Just saw this ! Are you kidding me ? Thats a knock on of offside. I feel this year we might have a couple of NRL feel good stories, and the Warriors are the chosen one. Wolf should be allowed to blow up. Thats a game changing disgrace.

Gordon Tallis thinks it’s the best finals series he’s ever seen. Week 1 Canberra v Brisbane was a cracker. Week 2 both blowouts. Week 3 Brisbane v Penrith was quality. That’s 2 out of 8. Suffice to say I’ve seen better finals series.

Gus is unreal ! Yet again he tips both sides to win & then claims he gets it right. Happens almost every week. As you can see on 100% Footy, he confidently picks the Dragons to win.

Andrew Abdo said it a few times…..there’s been an increase in the number of head high tackles. No there hasn’t. It’s no different to last season. The referees are just penalising the same tackles we saw in 2024 It’s a crackdown, no matter which way Abdo wants to spin it.

One of the worst shots you’ll see considering the state of this test. England were on their knees and Green plays this diabolical shot. Now Steve Smith is gone. England are back in it

With England in complete control at 3 for 301 chasing 374 to win, Harry Brook plays this shot. He had played what should have been a match winning innings. That’s BAZBALL. One of the great test series I’ve seen.

Brace yourselves. In the 148 years of any form of cricket, whether it be first class, grade or backyard cricket…..this is the single worst decision ever. No one appealed. Credit to the batsmen for accepting the decision.

After the panel didn’t like Benny Elias’ idea of awarding 4 points for a win only in Magic round, he came up with another interesting proposal. The NRL should schedule magic round after the grand final. Thoughts ?

Sunil Gavasker said the big deflection off Jaiswal’s gloves could have been an optical illusion. Maybe the inside edge you claim you got in 1981 was also an illusion. Gavasker is the most biased commentator I’ve ever heard.

With 5 overs left in the day chasing 658 runs for victory, this shot by Ben Duckett was slightly unnecessary. Bazball at its worse.

Aussie captain Ian Chappell displaying his petulance by deliberately bowling 4 wides, because he didn’t want the World X1 to hit the winning runs.

This will go down as the greatest individual try of 2025. Weekes is a superstar.

Seriously what was the point of getting Botham & Chappell together ? My take is that BeefyBotham would be more than happy to let bygones be bygones. Chappelli is still full of so much hate and anger. It’s sad really. #AnotherCh9Flop

Ben Stokes when asked if he would have walked off if one his his players was approaching a 100 on debut. What a ridiculous response.

In case you missed it, here is @Jimmy9 explaining his selections in his All Time Ashes X1. Make sure you’re sitting down. This is hysterical.

Stuart Broad said the runout of Bairstow was one of the worst things he’s seen on a cricket field. Called it poor sportsmanship. Boy does he have selective memory.

Newcastle denied one of the best tries we’ve seen this year. What an absolutely disgraceful decision by Grant Atkins, Not even close to being forward.

I’ve just seen this & i honestly don’t think I’ve seen a softer sin bin in the history of Rugby League. How on Gods green earth is that not play on ? A sin bin ? It’s becoming an absolute farce & ruining our game.
