Is it possible to shut some Brumbies supporters up ? As a Kiwi living here in Australia I’m delighted to see some young blood filtering through the Australian SR sides however, until such time as the Australian SR sides play the Kiwi sides twice (home & away), this competition will never be on a le...
I rather have Putin then the dickheads in Europe and USA...Teflon Tony anyone, Soros, Motherless Merkal, Fag Wag Macron, Larry NOT SO Fink You can have him. Piss off to Russia. No, I think he should import Putin into the UK. The folk of Russia would be better off - until someone worse replaced him ...
I like scrums too, and agree with the posters saying that fewer scrums is not indicative necessarily of a better game. Maybe someone more clued into modern front row play than me could explain why hookers don't seem to be able to strike any more . I would have thought a way to make scrums more effe...
Onside from kicks in open play: In a rewrite of Law 10.7 relating to players being put onside from kicks in open play, it will no longer be possible for a player to be put onside when an opposition player catches the ball and runs five metres, or passes the ball. Laws 10.1 and 10.4 will make clear ...
I should be easy enough to spot https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Fa%2Fuploads%2Fscreen_kubrick%2F1597%2F15976769%2F4163932-ryan-goslings-song-im-just-ken-from-barbie-movie-v0-oho2cnqwcgh3nwjimch7okz64gbc9y0damgxmcg2-z4ppnjx6if2fzychz07.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt...
Newstead Brewing is on Castlemaine St, which borders Suncorp on the side further away from CBD. Common Ground / Milton Common, which is quite a bit smaller but has decent beers, is on Railway Terrace - one street away from the railway line toward the river and directly across from the XXXX brewery ...
Not sure I like the option of removing the scrum option from a free kick. Sounds like a way of avoiding the real issue - better reffing of the scrum. On the topic, I saw this posted https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNJyTrXX0AAsYMG?format=jpg&name=900x900 Incredible how much the game has changed in the 3...
I’ve seen the not straight throw going into the opposition’s side but it was still whistled up for not being straight. Followed by another stoppage in play. Those kinds of calls are pointless in my humblest opinion. tbf, I've seen that as well. For mine, the punishment has already been delivered si...
https://i.imgur.com/dvmkrun.jpeg This shouldn’t be a law trial. This should be a law change as well. Complete waste of time to sanction a not-straight throw if the other team didn’t even contest the lineout. It just slows the game down for no good reason. Unsure about this. The contest proper, othe...
I’ll go where I’m told mate. Whatever works best for you blokes. Newstead Brewing is on Castlemaine St, which borders Suncorp on the side further away from CBD. Common Ground / Milton Common, which is quite a bit smaller but has decent beers, is on Railway Terrace - one street away from the railway...
Ireland definitely aren't winning without the kiwi lads the drop off after JGP is ridiculous. I think that Was their best shot at winning the World Cup?. I think probably the incoming problem is the lack of ambition in some of the talented young Irish players, Happy to spend years wearing a bib in ...
I'm in. Might be a few mates coming along. Common Ground, Scratch and Newstead are all the good beer options nearby. Certainly are. If towny is walking / getting the train from the CBD, either of Newstead or Common Ground would be easy-peasy. If he's coming from the far side of Milton, then any one...
WTF is wrong with those people? Blow up the pier that is being assembled to bring in food sounds like a brilliant plan. The pier is beyond a joke. Allegedly America has to build it because "its greatest ally in the world", Israel won't allow trucks to drive in. The reality is that it's an enormous ...
:( That’s awful. You were not exaggerating. And there is a stern but necessary remedy available. Establish a cordon sanitaire from the mouth of the Hawkesbury, arcing through Granville and rejoining the coast at the mouth of the Georges. Order the ADF to rebuff with extreme prejudice any attempt to...
Updated OP So where do we meet before this big game? Who’s in? I'm in. Might be a few mates coming along. Common Ground, Scratch and Newstead are all the good beer options nearby. Certainly are. If towny is walking / getting the train from the CBD, either of Newstead or Common Ground would be easy-...
I don't know about that. We have always offshored, but there has been a big shift in the last 12-24 months on how we do it. Office headcount has been steadily dropping and its not due to a lack of work. Lol, love how you steadfastly refuse to say what industry :nod: Adelaide's a small place, would ...
Putting aside the genocide argument I'm not sure how punishing Biden by putting in someone worse for Palestinians is a good thing for your cause. Firstly I'm not sure how you can just put aside Biden's record on genocide but so be it. At least Trump has shown himself to be completely uninterested i...
There are some seriously morally confused people regarding all this shit. Let me get this out of the way before my rant: I do not support the brutality of the Israelis. With that disclaimer, out of the way, time for some reality bombs. That area is the ancestral home to various peoples including th...
Here in Shute Shield land, we allowed the plucky Novocastrians to have a team in the comp I think they’re grateful for it. You know? Yeah, the NSWRL Siddeney comp did that too, and more than once, IIRC. Plus lots of other teams in the last four decades. But was the NSWRL grateful or thankful it did...
The Cass report impacts such a small percentage of the population. Stuff like Badenoch banning unisex toilets etc is nonsense. You must know by the Israel thread that bimbo is just a vile sociopathic person by now? Actual scum. And not a smart vile sociopathic person either. "Thcum" is the word. It...
NZ has a weird thing when it comes to building stadiums. Just build the f**king thing. NZ is a relatively wealthy country, this shouldn't be an issue. It's a no-brainer that Auckland has a modern, rectangular stadium that's close to hospitality and transport links. The fact that's its taken well ov...
My goodness, is this anti semitic hate fest still going on? Get a room you guys. Just don't throw out any jews who bought the room first and then claim it was your room all along. That wouldn't be cool. Give it up you 2 bit diarrhea salesman.... We've left that "being critical of Israel is anti-Sem...
I would have thought that given the western secular democracy supposed and absolutely supported by some posters here , that we might presume of them a higher standard of comparable morality ? Certainly I expect far more of Israel than that promoted and actioned by their current extremist government...
Pretty simple If you were a person that : enjoyed democracy and wanted the ability to vote Is a woman that wants rights Is a gay person to be able to live with out being thrown of a roof Is someone from another minority religion that would not get executed Has the ability to protest lead a parade w...
There is also the dress code. We do smart casual Fridays, so those who work in the office Friday and are at home Monday Tuesday Wednesday only have to dress up for work once a week, where as those in the office 5 days a week need to spend much more money on work clothes shoes etc. We cant adopt a p...
Talking of Ryan… :lol: https://youtu.be/EP9d5SGPYeg?si=xqpcK_V6I2XLD776 That video reminds me of something that (ahem) struck me at the time and earlier: the difference in size between forwards in the XIII and XV rugby codes. Taking Rhino as a f'rinstance, in most league games he certainly wasn't t...
Meanwhile, the IDF have closed the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, thereby shutting out humanitarian aid through that corridor. Another crossing, this one between Israel and Gaza, was closed by the IDF earlier this month. Reason for the Rafah closure: 'Stopping the flo...
Suits are a uniform in a way - for a toff. We have a uniform and when I first started working in NZ I thought wearing a uniform was terrible, like being at school again, but now I love it, don't have to think about what to wear, don't have to buy "work" clothes, nice and easy. I had a job a looong ...
I occasionally work from my kayak while out fishing. This just involves taking calls via my watch, so generally not a problem. Except the time I was on a call with a client and my bait was smashed by a 3m hammerhead shark, which proceeded to tow me about 3km up harbour... :blush: Lemme just say :lo...
