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...

Propped up by Australian Television Money

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?

shanky

Welcome to the dark side

shanky

As a Tahs fan, I can console Saders fans by suggesting that this is the time to declare yourself ‘over’ SR, suggest it’s lost it’s way etc

…then start raving about your local ‘grassroots’ NPC or Club side*

*that’s winning

US House passes Ukraine aid bill. 312 yays...210 Dems + 102 GOPers. Well done Mike Johnson. USA USA USA!

Just when you start to lose faith in the USA, you’re reminded that this is the greatest civilisation in the history of mankind ‘Greatest’ used, intended in its literal meaning rather than simply as a superlative Those Founders knew a thing or two, god bless ‘em.

He was Augies right? And Manly Junior? Yes Is Augies legitimately a good school, or is it a bit too goddy? Seems to be the only one on the NB (other than Narrabeen I suppose) that takes Rugby seriously. Tries to be Goddy but no-one pays attention I think otherwise, it’s a bit ‘mid’ when it comes to...

Foketi is not an ‘ex leaguie’

He’s a union junior who went to France for a year or two.
Probably never played a game of league in his life

Yes

shanky

I agree. He is competent and won’t let you down, make metres, some tackle busts etc

The X-factor maybe not there in the way you’d get from Paisami or a Kerevi

From an Aussie perspective, will be interesting to see White, Donaldson and Beale operating as a unit.
With both White and Beale’s experience around him, let’s see what Donaldson can produce.

This probably would have been quite a good game in 2017. Reads a bit more like a retirement home in 2024.

Yeah. That’s some time machine stuff there!

In NSW, the poles and wires are government owned Essential Energy (the former Country Energy is). Two others (Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy) have some complicated, very long-term lease arrangement to private enterprise and Transgrid was, AFAIK, just plain sold. Still ‘owned’ though, and heavily regu...

In NSW, the poles and wires are government owned Good to know - we're still getting bummed on charges :x Yes. The gold-plating thing was annoying alright The new problem is that the wires don’t go to the places where the wind blows. That’s why the Govt (to their modest credit) are setting up these ...

Some delightful shilling on behalf of Russia. One could just as easily contend, and perhaps more accurately, a Ukraine that was also attuned to the West was more valuable to the West for how that would deepen the connection to Russia. And no matter how much Ukraine looked increasingly to the West t...

That's an awesome idea, I can't possibly imagine what could go wrong!

ikr?

shanky

The MAGA argument is of course, nonsense

Allowing Russia to successfully invade and therefore emboldening China to attack Taiwan and destroy the semiconductor economy is never in the USA’s interests

But Trump doesn’t care - he just wants to ‘win’.

If a coach tried a prayer circle at my junior club, they would promptly be told to get f**ked.

Probably by every grade from u11s up.

I know. Was just allowing you to self-incriminate a la Sluggy McRake, KC

When my eldest was in U12 they got this new coach in and he made them do a prayer circle before and after every training session and game. Weird. That is weird. Lots of Pasifika lads there? Or more of your Christian Brothers oldskool? Nah, almost all Pasifika or Kiwis. The coach who I first saw doi...

Mate, take it easy with the big words, you're talking to Queenslanders.

Egalitarian and secular? Could you please spell those so I can google them?

IMHO this thread should be one of those protected threads where mindless, unimaginative, arse-achingly dull trolling - should be banned

Who’s with me on this?

Let attention-seeking incels infest the regular threads instead of a thread where one country has invaded another country.

I am sure we all agree that the law is an ass
