In the Round 26, in the year ’26…

Also, isn’t it great to see the Brisbane Broncos and the Melbourne Storm, two teams that as recently as last year played off in a Grand Final, and two clubs who rank amongst the greatest and most successful rugby league clubs in Australia, have had their game reduced to a bloody rule trial match by the NRL.

I guess that’s what happens when you go to shit, but of course that potential rule change is the team who concedes points gets the option of either receiving the kick-off or taking the kick-off… “Well, we’re 60-0 down, let’s give them the ball!”

Round 25 Tips = 5/8

Round 25 progress score = 123/188 (65.4%)

And now here’s the first Dolly Parton tribute song, and it is nice to know that Dolly and Kenny Rogers can sing ISLANDS IN THE STREAM for all of eternity now:

A song performed by Parton and Rogers, and written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees… it’s scary to think the only person still with us out of that combination is Sir Barry.
