The Bullets are back, and other talking points from NBL Round 1
The Brisbane Bullets have bounced back into the NBL with a bang, taking two wins from their first two games in physical, tight encounters that they were never able to fully control but rather, ground out wins and found a way to get the job done. While it will leave the Bullets on top of the ladder, that doesn’t matter all that much when you consider there are still 18 rounds to go. What does matter is the way the Bullets won, and who they beat. Both the Perth Wildcats and Sydney Kings are expec..>> view originalFFA's dream start to the week that will define the future of the A-League

There is a beating heart at Central Coast Mariners after all. Nobody enjoyed last season's humiliating fall from grace for the 'little club that could', so Saturday night's epic comeback in Perth was a welcome sign of recovery.

But it did, and in the build-up to the new campaign all the language coming out of Gosford was about regaining so..>> view originalRecord derby crowd landmark A-League night

Kerevi was destructive throughout, with the Pumas unable to get any real grasp on his powerful mid-section. And he just kept going, busting through defenders until the final minute.The Wallabies really don't have a ..>> view originalNico Rosberg wins Japanese Formula One Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo sixth
