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, where too much is barely enough as Roy and HG would say.
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 Guide Highlights
Here’s a quick overview of what’s ahead, with the full Ultimate Sloth Australian TV Sports Guide with times and channels following.
RUGBY LEAGUE
The NRL is kicking off its final this weekend, so four quality games await. You can watch them all on Channel Nein Live and Free. The rest of us will be watching in the splndour of Fox Sports.
Here is some NRL Finals we highly recommend.

Quiz for Neutrals to Select Your Finals Team – NRL
Outside of the NRL there’s the second week of the Intrust Super competitions, the first game of the Women’s NRL, and plenty of UK based Super League.
AFL
The AFL also kicks off their finals series this weekend, and for people like us, it is a chance to reconnect with the sport at the rigt=ht time of the year. Coverage on Seven and Fox, just depends how much Bruce you want. Channel selection not critical like NRL.
As above, here is some AFL Final gear.

MOTOR RACING
Moto GP is the ticket this weekend, with no Formula 1 and friends, Moto GP is worth a look anyway, with the racing always far superior to F1.
FOOTBALL
Bugger all club football this week, unless you like a little third and fourth division action from England or a little Africa Cup of Nations Qualifying. And we know you do. When else will you get the chance.

DRINK OF THE WEEK
It’s hard to imagine a weekend of sport on the lounge without a refreshing beverage, and each week we’ll recommend one for you as an accompaniment to all that sport.
THIS MONTH – SP LAGER
Nothing says refreshment like PNG’s finest beer, and since they bombed out of the finals contnetion on the last day of the Intrust Super Cup season, this will be PNG’s only contribution in September.

SNACK OF THE WEEK
It’s equally hard to imagine a weekend of sport on the lounge with a refreshing beverage without something to snack on. So as above we’ll offer up our Snack of the Week for late night heartburn.
CHEEZELS
No explanation required. Just a trusty pair of pants to brush the Cheezel dust on.

OBSCURE SPORTING SHIRT OF THE WEEK
To get into the mood for a good weekend of slothing and sport, it’s always good to wear a sporting shirt of some sort to attempt to justify to yourself and others about all the slothing ahead. And of course, the more obscure the shirt, the more respect you’ll get.
THIS WEEK – 2016-17 BRENTFORD HOME SHIRT
Second tier Brentford from West London could be a team that sneaks into the EPL this season from the Championship, so why not get on board before they get famous. Home shirt for 15GBP is a bargain.
You can actually buy it, and it’s cheap via the Classic Football Shirts Website.
