I suspect the posters attacking the posters attacking this diagram don't really get how badly some of these ideas are being used in practice.

If state and federally-based bodies were to politely request governments for increased mental health services funding, would they be told "Now is not the time to" etc?

I’m just watching the Stan mini game. Saders score their last try with 78:32 on the clock buy the clock doesn’t stop. Berry asked the TMO when the fry was scored. They take the kick at 80:01, which is obviously more than 60 seconds, right? As the ref is the sole judge of time, and it seems he under...

The penalty count was 10-1 at halftime. Egon Seconds agrees that Berry was even.

Pretty shitty way to lose a game. Sums our season unfortunately. Thought Berry was generous towards the Tahs all night, but that's probably my bias coming out.

House prices aren't linked to population density in NZ and Australia.

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 for...

Of course Leagues clubs sponsor junior and senior Rugby League clubs. That's pretty much their raison d'etre. And in return the suburban families whose kids benefit from this sponsorship then frequent their local leagues club.

Yes they disagree and look at the state of Australian rugby.

Pakia Pakia, Not sure if you're just trolling Aussie posters, but merging teams in the Super Rugby context is a terrible idea. You'd end up just alienating both sets of fans.

Channel 7 really has jumped into bed with some genuine c**ts in recent time. First Ben Roberts Smith and now Bruce Lehrmann. Paying for hookers for a man who at the time was in court accused of rape doesn't look good. Surely the only career path left for Lehrmann is to work for Sky News?
