The Return of the King
By Mick Adams Well thank Christ for that. After spending the rugby league offseason immersed in the many joys of the NFL season – not the least being its draft-based fantasy competition – the approach of another all-but-pointless year of fantasy did not hold much appeal. Mercifully however, the Telegraph’s Supercoach and the NRL Dream […]

Extreme Tipping – 2013 Competition
Ever been in a tipping comp? I mean a real tipping comp? Across Australia (and the world for that matter) there aren't many like this one. Sure we’ve picked a perfect round in all codes of football before. Most footy fans have. But imagine this, just for a minute… A tipping comp that is unlike […]
The Forgive Files – February 23
This week’s edition of The Forgive Files takes us to the February 23 meetings at Caulfield and a sodden Warwick Farm. Caulfield Éclair Surprise: He was rising substantially in class from a Morphettville 68+ race to a Group 2 WFA event, as well as attempting 1800 metres second-up when his previous wins at that trip […]
Monday Milestone: Centurion
This Week in History: 1962, March 2, Wilt Chamberlain scores 100 points in a nothing game in Hershey, Pennsylvania in one of the greatest individual efforts ever seen in sport. Every so often, sport produces remarkable feats. Bannister’s four minute mile; Bradman’s batting average; Tiger Woods’ 2000 US Open, just to name a few. But […]
The Manchester Six
It might be pushing the boat out a little, but based on a statement prepared by the Manchester Six and read by Daniel Kowalski on Friday, it’s not completely unfeasible that former national swimmer Ashley Callus could be partly to blame for the current scandal engulfing Swimming Australia. Callus, the chrome-domed Queensland sprinter, was part […]

The Forgive Files – February 16
This week’s edition of The Forgive Files takes us to the February 16 meetings at Flemington and Rosehill. Flemington Prince Of Capers: He may have finished down the track when sixth (beaten 5.8 lengths), but this was a reasonable effort given his historic trends.
