Why are you defending a rapist and self-confessed sex pest?

Suspect these players will care a bit more than the Kiwi imports. LSL basically unleashed again. I reckon he'll play in the series at some point. He's got to be first cab off the rank in terms of locks in reserve. Agree with your second point, thought the Kiwi imports in the AUNZ side were shocking.

Filipo will start on the bench. He can cover 4 positions in the backs easily.

I don't mind Potter and Jorgo starting but I like to think Toole might get a crack.

The 2025 Wobs squad is so much better than the 2013 squad it isn't funny.

League has a napoleon complex. They're only relevant in NSW/QLD a chunk of Auckland and Doncaster, England. What's funny is that here in US everyone just calls league rugby anyway, so they're just promoting rugby union in a way. :lol: Lets also ignore that Rugby League has more players in Western A...

We all know that Israel will never want this.

League has a napoleon complex. They're only relevant in NSW/QLD a chunk of Auckland and Doncaster, England. Still, the NRL generates easily more money than any rugby competition in the world. It dwarfs all of them. I doubt it generates more than the Rugby World Cup..... No it doesn't, but that's a ...

Thought Edmed went OK. Biggest surprise was how Pete Samu went. LSL was clearly playing for a spot in the main squad. Samu wasn't. Biggest surprise was how shit some of the Kiwis were. Stephenson, who i previously rated very highly, was gash. Same with Laumape I just knew those wit kant would let u...

Just popped in to my local Uncle Dan's to buy some drinks for drinking this afternoon and evening (going to fire up the fire pit and so forth before the game) and decided to wear my brand new Wallaby supporter jersey ($45 Best and Less version). As I walked down an aisle, some bloke yelled out "Less...

Haha. Seen lots of these online. I haven't played golf in over 10 years after being very active at my local club for 15 years before. I only ever saw a couple of fracas in the car park over allegations of cheating, never a full punch up on the course. I don't think I will go back to it as frankly I...

I find the NZ accent pleasing to the ear and it doesn't grate on me whatsoever.

After Trumps Arse about face uturn i am actually thinkimg his whole death was all faked. Could his handlers( Mossad and CIA) have helped to fake his death. :lol: Have you seen the body? Looking at who he worked for, why is this outlandish. Obviously they didnt want him to open his mouth.. What's mo...

Feeling very conflicted about cheering for Frizell.

This looks like a team designed to belt the snot out of another one.

Go QLD! Great game last night. QLD win the deciding State of Origin game 24-12. Against all odds, in Sydney, in front of their women and children. Hear the lament! As a Cowboys fan it was great to see Tom Deardon win player of the match, and the Wally Lewis Medal for player of the series. So happy ...

Toole has the skillset to cut this Lions team wide open. He has worked on his defence but I'd like to see him have a crack.

Perhaps they should have, im just letting you know how it happened. I think they probably guessed it would be next week (16th) which is why the Adelaide match is on the Tuesday 15th. Aparently the 8pm kick off time was requested by British Broadcasters. The NRL wanted to flex its might. They knew t...

The SOO match will likely be in the top 5 watched programs for the whole year. It's a decider so it will rate highly.

I'll be watching both somehow. I'm a rabid QLDer so it is in my DNA to get all frothy-mouthed at this time of year.

I remember someone talking about how RA poached Samu Kerevi. Amazing foresight of them to nab him at 4 years old.

Fun match. Williams, McReight, Wilson, Tate, Lenny, Jorgo and Potter all good. Wilson clear MOTM. Porecki, Frost, Loly, Wright shit. Blew the cobwebs out. Really missed the much faster game a Kiwi or Australian ref brings. In other words: "Aussie teams look a bit shit when they don't have referees ...

Don’t worry, Aussies, according an Australian journalist in the Guardian “the Wallabies have got their 2025 season off to a victorious start and struck a crucial blow in the quest to win the 2027 World Cup at home with a tense 21-18 triumph over Fiji in Newcastle. The 79th minute shading of their f...

Wallabies played dumb in parts but dominated the first half. If Lolesio hadn't had a brain fart, it would have been 14-0 at half time. I just hate how teams try and place loose against Fiji. They love that shit. Revel in it. Tighten it up, play for set piece dominance and the holes will open.

Lots of kiwis in that side too.
Name them…
"The fijian collossus"
"The samoan Mercury"
Skelton, lolesio

Skelton moved to Australia when he was 10
Lolesio moved to Australia as a kid
Daugunu moved to Australia at 20 (he played soccer at the time)

Depends what the task. Riding a horse in Blundstones is down right dangerous. I've ridden in blundstones. You can get chisel toed ones. But you're right, it's not like the super ideal.footwear. It’s honestly down right dangerous. You want a leather sole if you’re on a horse as you don’t want your f...

:lol: Matt clearly had never been to a club rugby game. The blokes he’s describing are found at swans games, or Tahs and wallaby games. They’re casuals. Club rugby is for the die hards.

Probably are. Or also tribes up in the highlands in PNG. The amazing thing is how quickly people got to Australia which is well before when they got to Europe and potentially before east Asia. They got out of Africa then just hopped along the coast down into Australia. What gets me is why didn't an...

Got to fund those tax cuts for billionaires somehow. Those eprivate jets and multiple holiday homes aren't going to pay for themselves. I think there has to be a tipping point. When you have a bunch of billionaire sociopaths who just want hoard money and watch the world burn, eventually something h...

One of my favourite places in Australia is the Bunya Mountains. A few years ago I got talking to an elder up there and learnt a shitload about what the mountain actually means for his people. I was absolutely engaged with this bloke and his stories. It made me love the place even more knowing how s...

Im going to a sensible point that sensible stephen made, which is he needs to sit through a quality moment in every meeting. What was bought in a few years ago, with a genuine level of success, was safety moments or whatever the organisation calls it. Every meeting I am at starts with a discussion ...

I think the reality is that the vast majority of people who don't like it just find it boring and a bit of an eye-roll in the "more woke shit" sense, but aren't really racists and are just a bit too tone-deaf and selfish to realize that they should be able to sit for 3 minutes just as a nice thing ...

The acknowledgement of country is a bit overdone but it really only annoys white racists. I love a good welcome to country though, especially when done by an elder who can tell a story. I get out on country a fair bit with work and deal with people in remote indigenous communities and I always love...
