India demolish England in the 3rd test! They (India) have got a seemingly endless supply of class batsmen too
They could go on and win the series 4-1 at this rate. 4th test starts Friday (24/2)
And then next summer it's Australia vs India for 5 Tests in the battle of the heavyweights (although, to be fair, the Aussies just lost a test to an undermanned West Indies)
Australia play the first of of 2 tests in New Zealand beginning 29th Feb. Might be a drawn series (1-1) as the Kiwi's always take it up to the Aussies

I would always be concerned that a tall defender takes ruck duties in the backline - it leaves his match up unattended. Less of a problem with forwards IMVHO.
Good point, monoccular

Remember that year when we followed the Canadian league? haha
My team was the Hamilton Tiger Cats and I reckon one of the originals here (Stafford) was the one who was keen on the league
It was back when the Demons were really struggling and we needed more American Football (might gave been 2013?)

4 minutes ago, Gorgoroth said:As always, legendary work doing this for us, makes the other games more interesting to watch and tbh I feel a better bond with the NFL Dees than others, mostly through your tipping comp.
Can’t wait to see Puka and Kupp tear it up! Next year!Unless we get some not agreeing, your proposal for the regular season tipping comp is a goer! (2 out 3 for 1 point, 3 from 3, 3 points)
And we can modify the bonus point weeks as well ... maybe not as many but maybe every 3rd or 4th week but I'd favour the last 2 weeks as well to keep everyone interested
As well as that we could have a comp within the comp (last man standing)
No one has to do anything different except making sure their first pick is their prime pick. And last man standing is just that, as people get knocked out, we'll be left with 1
Just for some added interest and it's easy to monitor
3 chances at Gold!
Any feedback welcome

Yep, a bit of luck and the 49ers win
Would have been nice to see some fellow Demons taste some more success
But hey, the Demons might come through for us in '24!
And we have a winner in the Post Season Comp!
@Clintosaurus has come from the clouds to get up and win from a fast finishing @Gorgoroth (2nd) and an unlucky @BDA in 3rd spot
Equal 4th @Go the Biff & @JV7

Huge play that turnover
And just like that the Chiefs hit the lead. Wow!!
They haven't looked like it all game but that's the sport! Amazing

Good drive by Mahomes but only the 3 points

3 and out again!
Defences well on top but will Mahomes finally show some magic on this drive?

Half-decent field position for the 49ers after that Chiefs punt
KC are going to have to hold them out again but even a 3 pointer for the Niners would be telling

But in saying that I thought the niners would score off the turnover to make it a two score game again.
San Francisco should have put them away by now. The Chiefs have been awful

It's been a defence dominated game. Mistake-riddled
Was the total points over/under 52 points?

Mahomes just lost this game right there. As poor a throw as I’ve seen from him.
Haha!

2 minutes ago, Gorgoroth said:Exactly.
The thing now with the last play extended half is the Chiefs D gets a good rest, and the offence gets to re set and attach the ,idle without Greenlaw.
Niners get a chance to re group, re assure themselves that if they play like thatagain in the second half they will score more.
This first drive for Kansas just might set the tone for the whole second half, if the niners smack them again I reckon the game is 100% theirs.
if the chiefs level it then how do the niners respond. I mean they should have two things written on their whiteboard. Run, screen, run run run, screen run.
In terms of getting into the game and for their own confidence, the Chiefs need to score on this opening drive
It's not the end if they don't but continuity plays a big part in this sport

So it's a one score game at half time 10-3 in favour of San Francisco
The 49ers might feel that they should be further ahead whilst the Chiefs must feel that they have got off lightly

If this was boxing, Niners smashed them with the first punch and have made the chiefs cover up and are wearing them with body punches.
Chiefs need a long drive here.Tremendous TD by the Niners
And yeah, the Chiefs look lost and overwhelmed. No decisiveness and seemingly no poise or purpose
Still, they are only 2 scores down and we know they are capable
As you said, they need to score on this drive, at least a 3 pointer

This list (below) came out a couple of months ago but the panel of judges amounted to 218 pundits and experts
Interesting that 11 of the top 54 are Manchester City players. In a world-wide sport, that is an incredible number
Best 100 Football Players
The Bookies have Man City as having a 53% chance of winning the title, 35% Liverpool and Arsenal 12%
So the season definer is set down for next Monday morning (2.30am) - Liverpool vs Manchester City
Highlights from the Manchester Derby (Including the Haaland miss from point blank range - he is human after all!)
