Masterchef has gone off the boil pardon the pun lol. I haven't seen the usual build up this year for some reason - when I first moved here SoO was everywhere and a real buzz - but not so much anymore - may be the circles i keep or that I hardly watch mainstream TV anymore??

hopefully, I can flick it over here and there - as I usually do. Always love a marquee event with a big crowd - crowds make all the difference I feel to the buzz and atmosphere. You feel it through the TV too I feel.

At the gym - waiting for PT. Didn’t realise it was SoO when I booked him in lol. Hope he’s not pissed!!!

thinking about Rugby Leagues state of origin today & what an utterly unique series it is

now
all sports have their championship games , finals etc where elements of the sports best talent play , some generational teams may have a higher then normal number of the worlds best in a game or series

but RL's origin is a level all of its own
at least 25 of the 34 participating in tonights game are the worlds best , you can add Tommy T , Latrell .. Victor Radley & Ryan Pappenhausen all unavailable due to injury for NSW & the figure is around 30 of the 34 best on the planet for the sport. I'd only add Joseph Tapine for NZ , Jason Tuamololo for Tonga , John Bateman for England as non Australians not eligible to play who would if they could.

Now fumblers will... quite wrongly .. try to say all stars games from many other sports are no different , but they most certainly are . They are exhibition games , slap & tickle .. a bit of fun
baseball , basketball , NFL .. soccer


There will be no slapping or tickling out there tonight in Sydney , there will be no fun, with RL's origin games featuring the best the sport has to offer but having the added edge of being deadly serious with the players giving their absolute all in pursuit of victory . Every fibre they have for their state.

nope , theres nothing like it in world sport , it gives the saying , the best of the best new meaning.
Enjoy guys
