SAINT:

BEAU Ryan rushed to the bedside of a terminally-ill fan when it was revealed in a Facebook call-out that her dying wish was to meet the Channel Nine Footy Show star. And on Saturday he was among a group of old players handing out Xmas gifts at Sydney Children’s Hospital. The former Wests Tigers and Sharks star is often misjudged as a thoughtless and foolish character for past indiscretions. He is a good man.

SINNER:

SO, one of the tennis brats is now blaming the media for his trashed reputation. Yep.
It’s our fault.
We abuse umpires, break racquets and tank matches and they are good, misunderstood kids.

SHOOSH:

WE revealed this year during the bitter war between ANZ Stadium and the SCG Trust over government funding that sports minister Stuart Ayres was likely to lose his portfolio. Stand by. We’re hearing he will be relieved of his duties in a cabinet reshuffle in the new year.

SHOOSH II:

THE expansion of soccer’s A-League in 2018 is likely to include three teams in both Sydney and Melbourne under David Gallop’s theory that you “fish where the fans are”.

SPOTTED:

THE TAB’s Glenn Munsie hosting a staff Xmas get-together at Bankstown Golf Club, his home track. It wasn’t a great day for the odds spruiker who came last in a field of 30, despite the home-ground advantage.

SPOTTED II:

RAY Warren, Ray Hadley, Brian Henderson, Tracy Grimshaw, Georgie Gardner and Richard Wilkins in the Channel Nine cafeteria they call ‘Hendos’ for Kenny Sutcliffe’s farewell drinks on Thursday night.
