So the Roosters are apparently offering TJP just $130K to switch codes. To put this into perspective, he's currently earning around $700K in Japan for his one season sabbatical, and as a 69 test tier All Black his base NZR salary would be around $600K - $700K. So if it's $130k on the Roosters books...

I'm Union, League, 7s. I really don't enjoy 7s at all. This. 7s sucks. Will never get the enmity towards league. Ever had a chair swung at you because you had a Super rugby game on in the pub and refused to switch over to Tigers v Parramatta? In my defense, I did politely ask you to change the chan...

For just plain old commentary (rather than analysis), it's hard to go past Graeme Hughes as far as Aussie footy commentators are concerned.

And maybe Kerry O'Keefe to tell stories while the scrums are being re-set.

Steelers with his two brothers or his home team Packers must be favourites. He'll want a chance at a ring, so Buccs or Ravens might be decent options too.

From what I remember, in the olden days players refused to be carried off because that meant they would have to sit out at least one match Used to be 21 days if you went off concussed but you had to be really concussed to go off! At club level, that 21st day always used to conveniently have a coupl...

Scrums. Time off until the ball emerges. And have the referee put the ball in. Will mean hookers have to hook, maybe it will lead to more efforts to stay up from props and less collapsed scrum. Hookers having to hook at the ball in the middle of the channel doesn't work with the new, safer engageme...

Think the main fighters in that got 2 years each? Pretty lenient. When I was first playing senior league as an 18 year old, we had a rugged old oil-rig worker playing for us - a proper hard plum - and he got knocked out from behind and then (about a minute after the resulting brawl was over) a bloke...

Not securing Cam McInnes and instead chasing Folau is moronic by the Dragons. McInnes, while not a top-shelf star, is the kind of guy you can build a champion team around. Folau is a short-term band-aid, a constant risk of being goaded into being banned, guaranteed bad publicity and not someone you ...

RTS has an excellent skillset, but he also comes across as someone who will work extra hard and put the effort in to succeed. Much more hope of being a successful convert than a perennial flake like Benji Marshall, who cruises on natural ability alone. It is fairly old to be converting as an outside...

Two 1st rounders, a 3rd rounder and Jared Goff seems like massive overs for Stafford. Unless you consider Goff and his salary as a negative asset and are actually paying more to be rid of him? If the Rams don't trade back into the 1st round in the next few drafts, it will be 7 years without a 1st ro...

The big shopping mall in Moldova is called Malldova. It's like one big dad-joke.

And their Snickers bars have sunflower seeds instead of peanuts.

I think they have bigger concerns than their ethnic origins!

Do we know who Trumpy Boi is going to pardon on his way out? I am really hoping Tiger King is on his list.

Then its Paine' head on a plate Im afraid, two test series losses at home is not acceptable.
Border - Taylor - Waugh - Ponting - Clarke - Smith - Paine.

One of those names is not like the others.

Ponting? Only name with more than 6 letters.

The immediate outcome of a concussion can be pretty variable, and not always that easy to pick. Our backline was lining up for a scrum in a game a few years back and our young 2nd/5 suddenly stumbled forward out of the line and fell flat on his face. No one even noticed where he had picked up the he...

I think my preference would be a Bills vs Buccs Superbowl, from what is left. Though having Tom Brady finally leave their division, only to potentially beat them in the Superbowl the very next year might possibly be too much for Bills fans to handle. :lol: 32-3 record against the Bills... :shock:

It's a bit like basketball. Or cricket. When we're doing well in it, large swathes of the population get into it and everyone's an expert. When we're getting lapped, everyone just shrugs it off. I actually think there is a definite logic as to why (apart from just "small country syndrome") - we are ...

I enjoyed last week, as every game went the way I wanted it to (Ravens winning and Steelers getting stuffed were the two I was most interested in :D ).

If they are going to use the 25th via the cabinet, then they potentially want to do it quick.

A plum tree in the garden doesn't produce any plums at all, flowers nicely though. It's about 15/16 years old, chop or not. Do you know the variety?

I don't think it is "a second impeachment stops him running again". If that was the case, if the House is held by the opposition, they could simply impeach a first term president twice, without it being accepted by the Senate, and stop him running for a second term. I believe if he is impeached and ...
