I’ll wait for Jeff’s final, measured, All-new verdict before kicking any cats. The worst part is, the forwards were great today, to a man, bench aside. The woefulness of the backs have cost them Mann was very poor tbh Yeah, can't agree with TheFlier there at all. That last section there was a micro...

Great, we've lost our one and only world class player.

Jeff the Bear

Our defence is still brutal. That one was up the guts, but we are giving up dozens of metres every time they go wide.

The Wail have their leaked team up: Blair Murray; Tom Rogers, Max Llewellyn, Ben Thomas, Josh Adams; Dan Edwards, Tomos Williams; Rhys Carre, Dewi Lake, Keiron Assiratti, Dafydd Jenkins, Adam Beard, Alex Mann, Jac Morgan, Aaron Wainwright. Replacements: Liam Belcher, Nicky Smith, Archie Griffin, Fr...

Where's it our match thread?

Jeff the Bear

If it wasn't for his sketchy tackling ability, I'd like Morse at 8 and Wainwright at 6. We just don't have enough carrying threat to waste a position, and Morse's dynamism off the back of a scrum or line out is exactly the type of thing we've been missing in recent times.

I should mention that algorithms that constantly serve you only the things that vociferously agree with your already likely warped preconceived notion of the world is going to destroy society (and already is). I assume AI is being used heavily to help with that, but it's so simple that I'm not sure ...

I've been using Chatgpt extensively for the last year or so. You can tell it was trained on fiction books, because it nails creative writing easily. I am in a technical engineering field however, and it is patchy at best with that. Get too technical and it gets dangerous very quickly as it's eagerne...

I didn't manage to post it in the week (due to the bored shitting itself) that this weekend was likely going to be our annual humiliation to the Dragons...and so it was. Cardiff did well enough with their 'B' team. Basham is a bit like Plumtree...bags of talent, but they seem prone to acting the wit...

Jeff the Bear

One could speculate that Morse played 7 on the weekend at Tandy's request. Given just how little penetration we've had lately, playing a backrow of, say, 6. Wainwright, 7. Morse, 8. Faletau...alongside a front row of 1.Carre, 2. Lake, 3. Griffen, and all of a sudden we've got something that looks li...

Jeff the Bear

a game low on quality. Dregs with lots of energy as per for their cup final. Ben was good, Bowen too. Once again on a field stacked with flankers Mann was by far and away the best. I’m quickly coming round to the belief he’s our(Cardiffs) best flanker at the ruck since Warburton Beetham isn’t worki...

Quick, take a screenshot of the table...Cardiff are top of the league!

This is an application of LLMs, letting it do stuff autonomously. It's not a fundamentally new AI model. Not a chance. Agree lose of jobs won't happen that fast or to that degree There are way too many companies with white collar roles that are nowhere near nimble enough that they will get on new t...

But how was that number arrived at? It’s significantly less than the median household income. Displaying his usual grasp of policy detail, Christopher Luxon explained, “Well, we chose that. It’s the number that we chose.” :lol: If someone wrote a political sitcom with that line in it, you'd think i...

Jeff the Bear

Bit of an average game. A bit like last season for Cardiff if I remember whereby their early good form was predicted on an outrageous amount of turnovers, and I think I said it then as well, that you can't rely on that for a gameplan to work. There'll be games where they get no turnovers, and then w...

That was one painful watch Steve Tandy watching the game with a 1000 yard stare... The saddest thing was our starting 3, 11, 8, possibly 12 and 10 (on the bench) was out there tonight 😢 The scrum failure was probably the most alarming thing. There wasn't even a bit of resistance. Plumtree is a tale...

2027 I believe before the Agents start taking all our jobs. All our old jobs Slight hyperbole. Most desk jobs. It's interesting that, being in NZ, and always being chronically short of quality professionals, AI appears like a godsend. Do a lot more work with the same person. But I know that from a ...

A competent side would have put 40 on this Scarlet side by now.

It's got to be said that not a single Region has made a reasonable case for 4 regions being the right number. In fact, you could merge the Ospreys and Scarlets and still only have a bang average team.

Jeff the Bear

To exacerbate all the other terrible issues for the Scarlets, Gareth Davies is playing like a 90 year old at the base of every ruck. Fumbling around for the ball like he left his glasses by the fire and is trying to find the remote on the floor.

I was just thinking how is it only 10-0. One of the most one-sided 30 minutes I've ever seen.

Jeff the Bear

Looking bad for the Scarlets. Absolute powder puff tight defence. Stormers just mauling/scrumming right through them as if they are not there.

Jeff the Bear

Scarlets in reverse in the first scrum.

We shouldn’t have lost that, many stupid decisions, poor players and sheedys kicking. 2 BPs is a good return however I thought that was a good effort from Cardiff. The pack got stuck in, the back row won the battle of the breakdown, and Sheedy showed some nice touches. On the down side though, appa...

I like welcome to country.

On another note, how hilarious is it to have the game on the edge of a dessert, and then have it piss down.

Jeff the Bear

Jokeshop result in Waikato 25 vs Northland 19. Waikato got one try after a knock on and another after a blatant forward pass. I turned over at that point. No skin in the game but an illegitimate result after such a Homer of a ref "performance". JtB - how did you manage to hack jdog’s account? Most ...

Dragons once again get to wear the dunce hat at the back of the class. They had about 5 to 6 opportunities to slot an easy drop goal right in front of the posts to win the game...but chose to try and score a try. Not only the worst team in Wales, but also the thickest. Ospreys once again put in a so...

WOL reporting we're going 2+1 now....... Who would go and support a development reejun… It's hard to even work out who the development regions is going to be or which one will get cut (other than it's definitely not going to be Cardiff). Could make a case for any one of the remaining 3 being cut/be...

Little bit of justice there at the end for Taniwha. Should be all fifteen yellow and red carded for those other cheating bastards :lol: Are you bugging my house? Was worth it to see a Canterbury scrum getting driven backwards every time. That scrum where they literally folded the Canterbury scrum i...

I think Robshaw was just a bit dim. Or he was prescient enough to understand the shit he would have got for 'settling' for a draw on home soil, even if technically it was the right choice.

I can't believe no one is joining in on my 'make fun of English rugby' thread.

Northland once again assert their dominance over the Blues region. Don't let the score deceive you...that was a 70 minute man shaming with the ref finding ever more elaborate ways to penalise Northland just as they were about to score.

This point has already likely been made, but fudge if I'm going to read all those pages...but isnt the rights reaction to the Charlie Kirk incident a good example of how empathy often works in a very selective way on the right.

Is it only me who is amazed this hasn't happened sooner? I was convinced through the 90's and early 00's that someone high up in the NRA (the original 2nd Amendment WUMs) would, in an act of outrageous irony, be taken out by some disgruntled gun owner. Just amazed it's taken this long...and the real...

NZ must be an extraordinary wilderness to go on the run for that long. Hard to get my head around in the UK. Netflix beckons on this one. Huge bush areas in NZ that are hard to search.. even with a drone... not really anything comparable in the UK. Except possibly small parts of Scotland. https://w...
