Liam Wright is Australia’s natural captain

The man is the smartest footballer in Australia

I’d be building a team around him.

Have you noticed how the chiefs players run into the line, causing obstruction? The last try was directly affected by this.

Perhaps you could explain your scoring system?

Smith (a forward) scores more for #14 than does DuPont (a back)

And Kolbe, a specialist winger, scores more at #15, than Barrett (a specialist fullback)

Re: War in Ukraine...

I think that’s a valid question. As it turns out, Vietnam went over to the other side and we all survived. It seems like it’s about how high the stakes are. Do we really care if China invades Taiwan? The only material issue would be semi-conductors, probably. Oh, and the south China sea thereafter.

Correct. I thought the point of a limited liability company was to limit liability. That's why I don't get why the directors are liable for the tax bill. Is it because the directors allowed it to trade while it was insolvent? https://insolvency.pwc.com.au/singleEntityCases/melbourne-rebels-rugby-un...
