Season just keeps getting better for the Reds...

Thats either harsh on McReight or light on McDermott. McDermotts was way worse than McReights IMO.

Remember when we all saw him sing that song "I fought the law and Bruce won?" :lol: https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/d9fd5ce251e8edc28e11e6d213326813 How arrogant/stupid is he.

Well, because the majority of mass shootings in the US are carried out by Black Americans for one. Nope. You are getting confused with gun violence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shootings_in_the_United_States Well you've admitted it. I'm not confused, that is what I am talking about. Multi vi...

Aren't most mass shootings in the US done by home grown wacko white boys? Why not jump to that conclusion in this case? Or you know, wait for the facts before making an arse out of yourself.

Same probably Phil Kearns used to make me laugh. Mexted was myopic but a legend all the same. Can’t stand the Scottish guy. Kearns was the myopic one. Of the two you mentioned, anyway. Mexted loved free flowing rugby and psychic energy. He could get deep about the game. Kearns just got bitter. Kear...

BRUCE LEHRMANN IS A RAPIST.

Saw that just now. But what does that actually mean consequence-wise? Does he basically get away with it because the mis-trial?

Maybe he'll get his own show on Sky news.

Too early for NRL jokes considering his jersey?

But doesnt explain her casually linking the Bondi attack to that, when it had nothing to do with Jewish people, or any other religious or ethnic group. She made a incorrect assumption and apologised. It was an assumption understandably made by a lot of people. Also what’s the problem with supportin...

Aus is getting closer and closer to it's goal of being Little USA with the right wing dickf u ckery.

There's just so much to unpack here... Dutton likened those 9 October protests to the shooting murder of 35 people at Tasmania’s Port Arthur historic site in 1996, which heralded tougher gun laws in Australia. “While no one was killed during the 9 October protests, the events at the Sydney Opera Ho...

I do wonder if he is getting a bit long in the tooth. A good coach is a good coach, but the game evolves and newer ideas appear. We will see.

I don't think you can mandate what positions bench players can pay, aside from the front row for player safety. Tbh, South Africa didn't win the RWC final because of the bomb squad, they won in spite of it. I thought the All Blacks' pack gained the ascendency in the 2nd half, and the rotation of fo...

Agree with dropping back to a 7 man bench, 3 of which must be the front row. The other 4 up to the coaches.

Maybe Schmidt is the coach to bust the moniker that a weak Waratahs is a weak Wallabies. He manages to pluck 23 players from 5 teams and get them cranking. I live on hope. We are beating NZ teams this year at least. Theres hope. Our top 23 should at least give things a good shake. I am mildly confi...

Looks like McDonald is still backing in Smith, McDonald also suggested that Steve Smith looks set for an extended run at the top of the order after labelling criticism of his recent poor output unfair.

Conspiracy theory - The likes of Elon Musk are pushing that stuff like this should be blamed on DEI, taking focus away from the actual issue, cutting corners to increase profit. Something Tesla also does.

WTF is wrong with the UK. Surely this is a night in the cells to sober up and then never see you again kind of thing.

I'm the king of reasonableness so I think I've got it about right when I say it wasn't a particularly sensible thing for Sam Kerr to say, and she should reflect on that when it comes to future interactions with the police, but also how the fudge is this even going to trial?? Yeah pretty much. Insul...

Sensible Stephen

It is entirely impossible for a POC to be racist against a white person. I think you lot need to do some reading and understand that English is a modern language in which definitions of words are continually evolving.

There’s head contact at every single pick and drive. Would some people want penalties and cards each time? At the moment it’s not considered high-risk, but taking subjectivity out of it (head contact is head contact) would see games end after a few minutes - all the players would have been sent off...

Sensible Stephen

Don’t think I said not wanting reds = don’t think head knocks matter. That was the straw man you created. My point was more that there is a negative impact to the team who received the head knock. Why should there not then be no immediate consequences for the team that caused the issue? I am sure t...

Some games are more important than others. If it's a WC final, are you going to be that upset if you miss 2/3/4 months if you're able to play over the line to help your team win? Trying to find different ways to change behaviour that allows unintended consequences doesn't usually work out. I find i...

Sensible Stephen

Not sure I agree. I like the idea that we dont have players suffering brain damage later in life. And for that we need to remove incidence of head knocks, accidental or deliberate. That means that the head becomes off limit and the penalties mean player actions change. For example, on the weekend w...

Sensible Stephen

So we don’t have cards then? I’m not against it but that is the solution to your comment. Rugby has laws. If you break the law and it reaches a certain threshold you get a red. If it happens in the first minute the blame sits with the player who did it. If you think it’s unfair on the viewing publi...

Incidentally the Canes won on the weekend with 14 players for the last 1/3 of a game. Is it fair to the fans if Jordan Petaia is taken from the ground because another player used a poor tackle technique? It was accidental but Petaia is gone and he is a star of the game. Sorry but I don't think that...

Sensible Stephen

Then we need an overhaul of the whole system and go down the AFL path an get rid of cards all together then? Because if something is deemed worthy of a lengthy ban then it should be something worthy of a red card. And the concept of the card is there so that an indiscretion grants some advantage to...
