Now on to sport.
Despite our Blues losing game one of the State of Origin series
against Queensland on Wednesday night,
we still believe.
With two games left, and game two coming up in Melbourne,
J-May, what did you make of the opening Origin match?
To be honest, Scotty,
I was really disappointed with the game.
Of course we lost, so that wasn't cool,
but to be honest, I thought the game was quite boring.
I'm used to confrontational, niggling, high intensity attacks
and big hits on defence,
but out of 10, it was probably around a six for me.
No Paul Gallen and Greg Bird for the Blues.
We know they can be grubs and they like to upset the Maroons,
so perhaps their absence was part of the reason it was such a quiet game.
The usual suspects played well -
JT and Cooper Cronk good for Queensland,
Josh Dugan, Josh Morris and Ryan Hoffman
were good for me for the Blues,
but to be fair, I was left a little flat after the game,
so much so, I fell asleep with 10 minutes to play!
I hope game two has a bit more sting in it.
I am not old for falling asleep early.
You fell asleep!
You fell asleep because you're no spring chicken any more!
And that's the honest truth!
No, not quite yet!
A big game in super rugby tonight.
The Crusaders,
who are all but gone from the play-offs,
up against the impressive Hurricanes.
Everyone has pretty much written off the Crusaders
ahead of tonight's match in Nelson.
Get this the Canes have won
five of their last six matches against the 'Saders.
The long-suffering canes supporters
are on a high after the team's success this year.
Actually our sports team caught up with skipper Conrad Smith who says
not much has changed this season, from the previous seasons.
Conrad, there's been several changes
that makes this year's team different to last year's.
The biggest change
is that Mark Hammett isn't coaching them this year.
Their current coach, Chris Boyd was laughed at by everyone.
But look who's laughing now.
You're right!
No doubt Chris Boyd is laughing at his detractors now.
Just finally J-May,
it's interesting to see Pulse netball captain
Katrina Grant warned for her verbal spray
on an umpire two weekends ago.
What became of that?
A suspended two-match ban was the outcome.
I know Poley,
but it was the right decision for the Trans-Tasman netball league
to discipline her.
It is frustrating as a player
when you believe the umpire has got it wrong,
but you just can't verbally attack the ref,
then do it again later after the game has finished.
I've been guilty of it in the past, but it was in the dark ages
when television cameras weren't at netball games,
not that that makes it right.
It was a good decision by administrators and a warning
to all players as well.
Well I definitely can agree
with the fact that you did play in the dark ages
when you were at your peak.
Thank you for confirming which era you're from!
