The weekend is almost here, and so is our new Ultimate Sloth Australian TV Sports Guide, to ensure that you can soak up as much sport as possible.
With so much sport, and so many other jobs and people needing your attention on the weekend it is important to balance that out, to give you as much sloth time as possible.
Which is why we offer up the Ultimate Sloth Australian TV Sports Guide, a suggestion of the best of the Australian TV Sport this weekend.
You will of course need a subscription sports package, but any mad Australian sports fan couldn’t survive on a diet of Gus Gould, Stats McAvaney and the poor excuse Channel Ten have for their F1 coverage these days.
Ultimate Sloth Australian TV Sports Highlights
Here’s a quick overview of what’s ahead, with the full Ultimate Sloth Australian TV Sports Guide below.
RUGBY LEAGUE
It’s the second last week of the regular season, and the interest this week lies in the teams jostling for position inside the Top 8, as it appears likely no one from outside can challenge. Warriors are entertaining by themselves,
It is also the final home game for Jonathan Thurston. In the UK there’s the Challenge Cup final featuring French side Catalans and Huddersfield.
AFL
Our expert AFL analyst Julio Autentico tells us that Sydney and Hawthorn is the weekend’s best clash for the ultimate Australian sporting sloth. Top 4 ramifications and a big serving of Buddy Franklin are the reasons to get involved.
MOTOR RACING
F1 returns at the best track of the season in Belgium. Friday’s Free Practice sessions are the ultimate in sloth sport watching, the perfect background as you try to sleep off the effects of a Friday or hard-working week. For those who like cars actually racing each other, then there’s Moto GP and F1’s younger sibling Formula 2.
FOOTBALL
The German Bundesliga kicks off this weekend, and rightly the only team that can win it kick off the coverage for the new season. The other interest is keeping an early morning eye on Ronaldo’s progress at Juventus.
