Re: War in Ukraine...
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, ...

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)

Re: Melbourne Rebels... SAVED?!
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. ...

Re: Combined junior rugby
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

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

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...

Re: The best 5 players in the world right now
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...

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