Raquo; Mark of Respect. On July 20, 2011. Cueto focused on World Cup (Joseph Troth). Sale stalwart eyes World Cup triumph. Mark Cueto is running out of time. Sale Sharks know that, Martin Johnson knows that and, more importantly, Mark Cueto knows that. Time waits for no man, particularly in a sport as brutal as rugby union. This autumn’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand represents the last chance for Cueto to lift the William Webb Ellis Cup. In crossing the Springboks’ line. I think he [Johnson] is fairly ...

http://www.thesportcollective.com/role-reversal-andy-murray-tennis-grand-slam/2011/07
Raquo; Role Reversal. On July 29, 2011. Murray close to grand slam breakthrough. Can female coach aid Murray’s slam quest? As Andy Murray considers his coaching situation over the summer, it is worth remembering that the biggest influence on the Scot’s career has been his mother, Judy. She moulded his game, drove him all over the country to play and helped to fund his tennis education. She is still the one he will turn to in times of need. And is there any reason a woman could not do it? Marat Safin’s mo...

Raquo; Old School. On January 16, 2012. Thompson knows value of hard work. Legend Thompson warns Olympic hopefuls. Like the rest of the British public, Daley Thompson logged on to his laptop at home in April last year and entered the lottery of the Olympic tickets ballot. I like the Brownlee brothers, he explains. They’re unreal as athletes and really nice guys but what I really like about them is that they’re old-school and they’re all about the hard work and the fun of it. That was my ethos too. I do r...

Raquo; The Floyd Void. On July 27, 2011. Ortiz up next for Pretty Boy. Mayweather still needs Pacquiao for legacy. No man divides opinion in the sport of boxing quite like Floyd Mayweather Jr. Just the mention of his name can spark a bar brawl from Michigan to Manila and several stops in between. One man stands between Mayweather and the recognition he craves, Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao. But Floyd Mayweather needs Manny Pacquiao. Or Sugar Ray Robinson. In the great gymnasium in the sky. True sporting leg...

http://www.thesportcollective.com/back-from-the-brink-kevin-mitchell-boxing/2011/08
Raquo; Back from the Brink. Back from the Brink. On August 9, 2011. Mitchell tags Murray in Liverpool. Mitchell regains respect with Murray victory. Ben Shave @cahiers dusport. Redemption is a word that has become lamentably over-utilised in the reportage of all sports, and boxing is no exception. Yet given the gladiatorial requirements of the discipline memorably described by Ricky Hatton as ‘not a tickling contest’, the temptation to resort to redemption is ever-present. Who moved to 31-1 after stoppin...

Raquo; Evolution of a Big Man. Evolution of a Big Man. On June 2, 2011. Nowitzki chases the elusive NBA title. How Dirk Nowitzki transformed basketball. For those sporting stars who operate at the highest level for a sustained period of time, the desire to add tangible team trophies to personal accolades looms large in the legacy equation. Statistics rank right up there when the time comes to say enough is enough; however, titles linger longer for most. Add in other Dallas sub-plots such as Jason Kidd an...

Raquo; Sudden Impact. On February 17, 2012. Crabtree remains loyal to the Giants cause. Thrilling Super League trio shine off the bench. Rugby league is often derided as a simplistic tit for tat carried out by bulked-up gym rats, however that stance does a huge disservice to the sublime skills seen on a weekly basis. Greats of the game such as Alex Murphy. And the recently retired Darren Lockyer. Elevated it to another level. What of the bit-part players, though? For those sports fans who have been sitti...
