TWO months ago Damien Hardwick was fending off questions about his job.
Today he was cracking gags at his weekly press conference. That’s what happens when you win eight of nine games.

It’s not the first time he’s done it — and in the Hardwick household the punchline would have sounded strangely familiar.
