What does that mean for the Hayne 38 jersey?

Not going to brag about the Rams beating the 49ers. Good to win but watching that game, we still have a lot of work to do.

Yeah, when a team in ranked 31st out of 32 teams in the power rankings, it's not really a bragging moment At least with Hayne on the PS (where he should have been all along), things have returned to normal and there's still a chance the Niners might come out for a preseason game next year *fingers crossed* Funny thing, when he was cut on Saturday his jersey was half price in the official store. Now he's re-signed, it's back up to full price. It's all about the $$$.

Headline "49ers dump Hayne, Channel 7 dumps 49ers". That's fine, I dump Channel 7. They have heard of the internet right? I'll just download the games from there... like I do for all my TV shows. Idiots! Just shows the Aussie bandwagon mentality

Sounds like the 'Fumbler from Down Under' could be returning home. Disappointed if we don't get a game here but not really surprised how this panned out.

Hope Hayne has improved his pass blocking otherwise our pass rush could make him look quite silly this weekend.

The Matildas (women's AUS soccer team) are on fire in the Olympic qualifying tornament. First a 3-1 win over Japan on Monday then a 9-0 win over Vietnam today.

One of the Matildas actually works for my company but is not touring at the moment due to the concussion rule that they have in effect - basically if they've suffered a concussion in the last 3 months, and they suffer another one within that 3 months, they automatically have to sit out 8 months for rehab and treatment. So she's sitting out the current tour so she'll be ready for Rio.

It's unfortunate that some athletes have to work second (& third) jobs just to realise their dream.

And others can shrug off a $125,000 fine for being a tool.

Such a shame that our female athletes in general, hockey players and many many more sports that win us gold medals, tournaments and trophies get nothing, while soccer and football players who put club before country get far too much.
