SBW hype
So much hype surrounding the return of one SBW to the NRL. His critics maintain he is well past his use-by date. The Canberra Raiders know how to take advantage of that in the game against the Roosters this weekend. We’ll see.
Benji on loose
Sad to see one of the NRL greats Benji Marshall being told by the West Tigers his time is up. One can still see glimpses of his magic every now and then. He may still have or two more years left in him though. Great entertaining player Benji.
On a high
A certain state minister was feeling very generous and rich a few nights ago at a Port Moresby cafe. Food and drinks flowed freely, even to those not seated at his table. Looks like he had recently won a lottery or hit a rich gold mine the way he was celebrating.
Contact Covid-19
Wife was checking her husband’s phone and came across a contact named Covid-19. She called the number and her phone rang. Oops.
Food for thought
The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who treat you with love, kindness and respect.
