Shane Warne on whether or not he will make himself available for selection to the Australian team: "I'm like Harvey Norman - no interest!"
Manly's Brent Kite on the secret of his success: "I just believe that since I found God, he has helped me turn my life around." Another one bites the dust … And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust …
In the face of legal action because of his attacks on the NRL judiciary, Craig Bellamy decides to eat a s--- sandwich: "I repeat, at no stage did I intend to question the integrity or reputation of the members of the judiciary … I apologise for any hurt or distress my comments may have caused." NRL judiciary member Darrell Williams in response: "From what I've heard … it doesn't sound like it goes anywhere near what I believe will restore the public confidence in my integrity as a judiciary panel member." Give it a rest, Darrell, whoever you are, and move on.
Former St George captain Craig Young on his old coach Harry Bath, who died last Saturday night. "He was before his time. I see stuff that happens in the game every day and I know it started with techniques Harry taught us in the 1970s. You see how the game's evolved and know it came from him." Gay Olympic gold medal-winning diver Matthew Mitcham: "I was actually very surprised I was the only 'out' male at the Olympics. I'm proud to be there, proud to be that one, that lots of other people can look up to …" Alrighty, then!
Manly captain Matt Orford: "It was awesome, I couldn't ask any more of the boys. The pain of last year, that is purely and purely gone." Former AJC chief steward John Schreck, who led the initial inquiry into the betting by bookmaker Robbie Waterhouse and associates on ring-in horse Fine Cotton in 1984, in John Ellicott's book Waterhouse and Smith : "With the benefit of hindsight we could have done a few things better, if we had looked at it all. But it's too big a deal, I think. Probably better we don't know. With lot of things, it is better to let it fade away. It was a messy business and it might have been a lot messier if it had all come out." Robert Allenby after "the worst putting round of my life" cost him a US PGA Tour event by one stroke: "I took the putter home with me and slept with it handcuffed to the bed, with me on the other side …" I don't know what the intent was, but am not sure I like the sound of it.
Matthew Hayden on last summer's blue with Harbhajan Singh: "In a lot of ways, I feel if that is affecting him, it's a good thing for Hayden because I don't feel I am harbouring any massive resentment." Can someone have a quiet word, please? Along these lines: Matt, when you refer to yourself in the third person, it sounds as if you're in love with the sound of your own name.
