Rio 2016...

Great to see the Boomers going so well, think they will get a medal this year and I think it will be silver behind team USA

Rugby girls get the gold, great to see

Well, Dellevadova is getting paid 50 million you would hope he is playing well.

Likewise Bogut (20 Million Aud), Patty Mills (4 Million AUD), Baynes (30 Million AUD) , Bairstow (bulls) (6 Million AUD) , Joe Ingles (7 Million AUD) all on multi million dollar deals that would make the NRL look like peanuts

Yes Delly got a deal of a life time, he definately isn't worth 50 million but good on him for getting that deal at the right time

The NRL should take a good look at the big 3 American sports and see how professional they are run, my opinion is the NRL couldnt run a chook raffle and is a decade behind the AFL and 5 years behind Rugby Union when it comes to running of the game

Agreed,

When I have kids one day im not putting a steeden in his hands that's for sure.

Can't wait for my Maker jersey to arrive!

I don't support any NBA team but I love the game, arguably more than league in the past 24 months. Since 2005/2006 the game just lost it's spark. The commercial media going crazy at DCE/Hayne getting paid 1.5 million. While players like Dellevadova who play 10 minutes a game in the NBA get paid 50 million dollars…and he isn't even that good.

2020 Boomers will be : Simmons; Maker; Exum; Delly; Baynes; Mills

And anyone else I missed. That's a dammn good team

i have never been this disinterested in Olympics

The negative lead up to the games was enough to put me off
I might watch it if it comes up channel surfing but i might watch for the daily wrap up, might be better value

I honest to God didn't realise it had started until this morning when I saw someone reading a newspaper about it.

Without digressing too much off topic I think the amount of money they spent on this is a shame considering how poor some of the Brazilian communities are. The slums like the flavellas, drugs, Zika, illnesses etc…How much did this Olympics cost? Anyway

Not sure about the cost mate but i do agree with you about the slums.. Real shame and i suspect after the games there will be a bigger difference between the rich and poor

On a different note, it is really frustrating trying to see whats coming up and at what times
Chanel 7 is running 3 channels of games and they have no clue.. All over the shop

I downloaded the 7App for Rio and thats just shy of being rubbish too

Is he young enough to go around again, or will this be his last Olympics?

He'll be 35 at the next ones

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Might be pushing it, although didn't Huegill or Hackett win one in their early-mid 30's?

 

[Spartan117]

Is anyone else like me, I soooooo don't care about the Olympics.

Most of the sports are obsolete.

cant see him going again as he came out of retirement for this one, possible though as he is the best swimmer of all time
