Piastri will win a World Championship

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Don’t follow Rugby but we just got smashed by Wales in the WC so we’re out right?

Depends on Fiji’s results whether Australia can overtake them in the last pool match next week. Doubtful we can progress and don’t really deserve to.

Also, CYMRU AM BYTH!

Dejphon Chansiri: Sheffield Wednesday owner says he will stop funding club after 'insults'​

Last updated on18 minutes ago18 minutes ago.From the sectionSheff Wed

Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri (centre) has been at the Yorkshire club since 2015
Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri says that he will not put any more money into the Championship club.
In a statement the Thai businessman said that he took responsibility for all club issues but is unhappy with treatment towards him and his family from some fans.

"From now, I will not put additional money into the club," Chansiri said.
The Owls, who are bottom of the Championship, play Sunderland at home on Friday (20:00 BST).
After winning promotion from League One in the play-off final at Wembley in May, they have taken just two points from their opening eight games under Spaniard Xisco Munoz.
He replaced manager Darren Moore, who left in the summer having taken the Owls up.
In a lengthy statement, which Chansiri said he had "thought about making for some time" but "never thought he would have to do", he told supporters that "protests are a waste of time".
"I am the one who saved the club and spent the money for the club, I am the one who needs to pay around £2m on average every month," he added.
"Some fans need to have more respect for owners of clubs and not be so selfish, thinking of their own benefit without doing anything good to the club.

"Those fans who create trouble to the club and myself and believe that they are the real owner of the club need to be responsible for the financial matters of the club from now on."

Sheffield Wednesday manager Xisco Munoz has collected two points out of a possible 24 since he replaced Darren Moore

'Nobody has right to cross line'​

Fans were unhappy about Moore's departure and have also complained about high ticket prices at Hillsborough.
However, Chansiri feels that some of the criticism aimed towards him and his family has "crossed the line".
"Fans can complain, criticise, give strong opinions, balanced opinions, say anything you like," he said.
"But no-one has the right to cross the line or the right to try and cause damage, throw insults, or go to my family which has happened again, which I cannot accept.
"Right now, this is too much."

'If anyone wants to buy club, follow correct process'​

Chansiri replaced Milan Mandaric as owner of the Owls in 2015 and under his tenure, they reached the Championship play-offs in both 2016 and 2017 under Carlos Carvalhal.
But they were eventually relegated in 2021 and needed two years to make it back up from League One.
Chansiri also says that while the club is not technically up for sale, he would be open to any realistic offers.
"I know there are people who wish for me to leave," he said.
"I personally have never said a single word on my valuation of Sheffield Wednesday or how much I would want to sell Sheffield Wednesday for, because I have never considered selling.
"It is easy - someone come forward, and if I am satisfied that the club will better prosper, then we can talk.
"If anyone wants to buy the club, they should act professionally and follow the correct process.
"All the information required is published in the accounts every year, there is nothing to hide."

So NRL went down the commercial avenue with pre match Tina the Musical. Thought it was very good but as an oldie I am a big Tina fan so a little biased. The actress playing Tina was very good - great voice, excellent production. But at the end of the day it was a tribute act. KISS wins for the AFL.

Hmmm, let's hope it doesn't set a precedent and we get a 'Death of a Salesmen' or 'Mamma Mia' promo next year.

Or maybe the 7 network can wield their power and have the semi-finals of 'The Voice' play out live at the G on Grand Final day. Sigh!

Broncos giving Penrith a hiding - didn't look like it early.

Been a great game. Panthers far to amped at the start. You can't maintain that.

Just when it looked game over.................................it's game on.

You little *ing beauty!!!!!

One of the great GF's, not sure I have seen a game played with that pace. Penrith will celebrate but I sense a changing of the guard is coming.

 

[Roostorm]

I admit lm not a fan of both sides….but anytime the broncos lose in a gf is sweet.
There will be many at the courier newspaper really bawling their eyes out tonight…..joy…..
A tale of two teams tonight…
kevvie whent shopping …a bit like Kenny here .got Reece Walsh from the warriors…big who ha as it was let’s say a bit like us and he who should not be named…
vs
the panthers ….who you either love, loathe or whatever, built their team from juniors….
Respect to them …..
That is now the biggest comeback in NRL history ( 16 points ) since Melbourne beat st George in 98…(14 points)

Agree with this ….Lots of players from that team moving on… ld say broncos and possibly warriors will be up there next year…however a few other teams in the 8 have let’s say player space after moving on a few players since seasons end… aka shopping time

I noticed that practically half of the Penrith team came from the St. Marys Saints. Can I presume that is their feeder team? If so, then huge kudos to them.

PS: As a Southampton supporter, whose nickname is the Saints and play their home games at St.Marys, there is something ironical about a feeder club being called that. You could call Penrith the EPL Liverpool equivalent then!

Rough weekend for Queensland

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Lets go Panthers!
Biggest comeback in a GF.

At least one of my teams is winning.

pokes North and the Cardinals
