As a general statement..

Those wishing to replace the USD as the reserve currency should (in all fairness) suggest another currency they’d prefer to have their life savings pegged to.

US Treasuries are the world’s most trusted instruments. Every portfolio in the investment world would carry them. They go up, they go down. They’re not going away anytime soon. And the Chinese selling down is good. Means they will have slightly less of a gun to hold to the head of the US and world ...

Great, so this package signals the new reality. The Russians are committed to achieving pre-1991 territory and we have to drain the tank to defend Europe. Happy days. Cost of living to remain exorbitant for the next 10 years. I'm feeling a bit smug for not living in Europe. Not for the first time, ...

Forgetting RA for a minute - easily done, tbf - what the ATO does next seems crucial.

Yup

Then ASIC next. They can come up with a rescue package and still end up being prosecuted (if the evidence indicates, innocent until proven etc)

What's the deal with the directors being personally liable for the Rebels tax bill? Yeah, just looking at that article posted above, it seems like the Rebels future is far from assured. There are two legal battles, against RA and the ATO, that have to be won by the Rebels before this deal happens. ...

I have been heavily involved with junior footy for yesrs and never heard of this happening. Totally off, when we’re trying to encourage youngsters to play

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the coach meant ‘for game day’ but didn’t explain himself properly

Interesting video Don’t agree with all of it but very topical and hopefully interesting for others https://youtu.be/lakdZIuZe7c?si=mFEheaCQeWlghm_w (Noting this was just before the US Aid decision but the rationale still holds. Mike Johnson said he’d been in briefings that were very depressing - per...

Pakia Pakia wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 3:46 am Says he weighs 105kg. Think he only needs an extra 5kg if that's the case. AB's went deep into the RWC last year with Frizell as their heaviest loose forward at 110kg.

Frizell plays ‘heavy’ though. If that’s even a thing

shanky

I’m not sure I want him to put on too much muscle/weight. May reduce his speed and agility.
Would prefer to see him as a utility player and a great game-finisher perhaps, against a tiring opposition

Heart attack apparently. Poor bugger

That’s a f**king terrible Test backrow

Does the US usually do the right thing ultimately? Really, I can think of plenty of occasions when it didn't. You'd have to be cherry picking pretty hard to sell that one. Saving your ass from the Gestapo jackboot springs to mind. To be fair, doing the right thing probably comes easier when all the...

Yeah. It’s got to be Lolesio in the driving seat at the moment. It’s his to lose
I hope we’ll see Harrison and Lynagh snapping at this heels though, soon

I don’t think Donaldson did his stats any favours in that Crusaders game
Noticeably weak tackling and couldn’t kick for shit

shanky

Is it wrong to snigger when you read they’re sending RIM missiles?

With the Crusaders in a slump, AC is proselytizing for the NRL Gushing pieces about Kim Jong V’Landys will no doubt be next. Strange post. I'm simply pointing out a smart strategy being employed by our codes main rival. They're innovating their schedule to suit modern societal trends, meanwhile we'...

And everything is open in places that aren’t Queensland. But apart from that, the point still holds

If only we could pick more than 5. They’re all so worthy.

Oh, your were referencing Eddie Jones?

In that case, I agree. Because his team played like spackers

If you're going to pick a winger and want to be taken seriously you have to have an honest look at Reece. He's never been as good at test level as he has at SR level. Penauds defense isn't the greatest. The question was ‘right now’. i.e. based on current from I’d challenge anyone not simply picking...

Got to feel sorry for Petaia. So much talent, so much glass

Poor bugger. Must be heartbreaking for him.

According to rugby.com.au the Saders lost the penalty count 15-11 and the only YC was given to a Force player, so we’re not quite in Egon Seconds territory here. That won’t matter to AC. He’s only interested in being on the winning team He’s a supporter-of-convenience, an opportunist No doubt, in 1...

AC was the type of supporter for whom the chant “you only sing when you’re winning” was invented

Another loss, another ref-whinge

If the Saders keep losing, perhaps AC will have to remember he grew up in Wellington instead?
