I don't think they'd be on enough not to have another job, if you're not in a main super squad you wont make thay much playing in NZ. I don't think they're as involved with the senior pro sides as some of the French clubs are set up. I think I've conveyed his point poorly, they're also trying to ma...

Dunno played well last night. Showed some good wheels, he is an option at 15 too, just a pity he's kicking as poorly as Carter Gordon. With Noah kicking at 89%, I would give him the first shot. He’s a speed bump that doesn’t standout at SR level. Donaldson kicked very well last night fwiw; however ...

The law is quite clear Towny below 16, when this grooming started, is a child and therefore unable to consent Correct. That’s what the law says.

Q.E.D.
Can you post a link to a dictionary definition that aligns with your personal definition?
There are plenty. The usage where it relates to prepubescent children has long been superceded.

If there are plenty, it should be straight forward for you to provide a link, right?

I apologise for my comment last week. I didn't mean to be offensive, I was trying to be funny, but upon reflection I understand why my comment may have been offensive to you and so I apologise for that.

Good man

It’s Queensland mate. Gotta be careful. I believe that’s one of the occasions when it’s okay to glass someone.

One cannot help but feel that Jeremy Clarkson, as talented as he is, would be deeply embarrassed by this whole thing.

It’s akin to saying that the dude that runs Reddit is better at technology products than Steve Jobs.

Perhaps the issue isn’t the scrums, but the minute wasted before them as the players slowly form up. They just stand there - scrums aren’t making props tired because they involve a breather. Plus, some teams deliberately mess with the setting of scrums to drag them out and waste time and slow the ga...

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...

Not comparable. RFR is a comedy with Simon Pegg at his best. Yesterday is a beige romcom with a Beatles tribute. It's grand. This. If you don't like the Beatles (or are ambivalent to them), it's not for you. If you like the Beatles it's a fun watch without taxing any brain cells. I love the Beatles...

Yep.

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 the Rebels do go cactus, then the brumbies should definitely take their catchment and move to Melbourne. No one supports them in Canberra anyway, and the brumbies system overlayed an actual jr pathway would be a good combo. Rebrand as the Southern Brumbies, with half their games played in Canber...
