Much to learn from Sydney re stadium fiasco(s) but they already have good stadiums, use QE2 and get a transport line by rail/light rail out there. Looking forward to watching the 10m platform street dancing QEII has poor public transport, is miles from the centre and is easily the worst stadium eve...

Tough times for China. It's not easy threatening the whole world when you're holding a pair of 7's. China can do NOTHING to harm developed nations that doesn't hurt themselves far worse. Their threats are akin to holding a gun to their own head and threatening to shoot if you don't get what they wa...

I do.

This is what happens when he improvises. I think the CCP take Sundays off - he likely won't get an updated memo with the week's talking points until tomorrow. Until then he'll just spray nonsense everywhere and hope it distracts.

Good call on Carter Gordon - def a player to watch. Is Uru (spelling?) - the Fijian/Aussie lock - back rower available? At least he’s a good line out option and supports a fast game (if that’s what Aus are playing). Not sure what strategy Rennie is building but I hope it’s a fast / passing game. Ca...

He always disappears when I ask that question. Not sure why?
I’m trying to help him but he never responds. Weird

The human rights organisation Amnesty International has said China is committing crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, the north-western region that is home to the Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities. In a report published on Thursday, Amnesty called on the UN to investigate, saying China had subjec...

All I'm saying is if you Australians serve up the same shit next year it will be the same result. Rather than spit your VB out and slag off the messenger sort your rugby out All I’m saying is that you don’t have the depth for 12 teams, and as such, the standard is poop. 12 teams….. your best side w...

Haha

I thought we were talking about your piss-ant club comp. if you cut 9 teams you might have the same standard as Super Rugby AU.

As it is, it’s rubbish.

Brisbane is a great choice for the Olympics, and if they get the games it will be a great event. Towny, I agree with you that there isn't a surplus of hotel accommodation in Brisbane, but there is lots on the Gold Coast which is 100km away from the centre of Brisbane. I disagree with you on everyth...

Exactly, which is why reinstating a proper format next season - whomever might be in it - can only be a good thing. The reviled conference system failed for several reasons but one not often discussed was also this encouragement of comparing each nation's collective strengths rather than the indivi...

This year was thrown together. Next year it will be excellent.

When was the last time an Olympic stadium didn’t have a train station? The Gabba is half the size of the next smallest Olympic stadium since 200BC. It doesn’t even have a decent sized car park. It’s in a suburb and it couldn’t be made any bigger. Maybe they can have the judo there. The Chandler Aqu...

QEII has poor public transport, is miles from the centre and is easily the worst stadium ever built by anyone. In the unlikely event that Brisbane was awarded the Olympics there is a 100% guarantee that it would need a new stadium. Think they'll throw coupla bob at the Gabba rather than QEII https:...

In the unlikely event that Brisbane was awarded the Olympics there is a 100% guarantee that it would need a new stadium. Aren't they the only bidder? Bold call to decide to just skip 2032 instead.

I hear that Valetini doesn’t do push ups Instead, he pushes the Earth down .

Wallabies will leave ‘in droves’ if we pick overseas players like Springboks: Rennie ... <snip> ...

Why are you framing your argument against Biden and not the AG, Merrick Garland? He’s the one making the decisions you don’t like.

I feel like I'm going insane reading this thread, actually being gaslit by you lot. I can remember maybe one long range penalty he's ever kicked? All the rest the commentators go OOOH HE HAD THE DISTANCE BUT HE'S JUST PUSHED IT WIDE AND THE WALLABIES GO INTO THE HALF DOWN 10! When he played flyhalf...

TBF Hodge has always performed very well at test level, often being the catalyst for a win. Hes a big stage player and Rennie will not forget what he has done in his short coaching tenure. Catalyst for the win….. can you name a few times? He was at 13 and got a length of the field intercept vs the ...

Good article on why everyone needs to take a deep breath. Not really. The DoJ can take the position they have, there is a reasonable case for saying responding to questions is part of the job, but they aren't obliged to go full in and say even if a politician flat out lies that's part of the job, t...

I think he was also on the wing for a win against the AIGs a couple of years ago where he showed surprising speed and ran almost the length of the pitch for a score. Those three could be aberrations though….. Is that when JOC did that great stuff and put him away? He was the catalyst for that win b...

About 3 years ago I posted an incident where I was in my car in a car park in Miami Beach and I got a lump of dry bread and chicken stuck down my air passage. Luckily I stayed calm and found someone to give me the Heimlich. His name was Jesus, who saved me - genuine. A good 90 seconds+ without air....

I answered your question.

It’s okay. We both know. You stopped thinking for yourself a while ago. Hang on, maybe you don’t know that. You need to wait for a meme or tweet to tell you what your opinion is.
