And now you could lose Rankine for the rest of the year, if he gets done for an homophobic slur to one of our players

And Cummin has said that his oppo threw the ball to him and was surprised the umpires didn't award a free kick

Whilst nobody managed to score an allusive 'Full House' in Round #24, I feel that Smiley deserves special recognition, not only for (once again) finishing on top
of the H&A part of the 2025 Competition, but for cracking 300 on the last Round of the H&A Series... (Averaging 12.5 Points per Round.) BZ Bro'...!!!

(Meanwhile, I still want to know how I can score HIGHER Points than everybody else in the final Round and yet still come in 7th..!!! Certainly not my finest Season..!)
