Rumour mill saying Big Al and Lenny both back for the Brumbies. Huge if true, they have been missed.

"Go home,TAB, you're drunk!"

Not being a sports bettor or any manner of bettor, I didn't realise TAB (and maybe others) still recognise a draw in soup rugby as a result for wagering purposes.

Well they still can have a draw.

Exonerated of sexualising assault. Confirmed to be a wit kant though. Cheating on his Mrs with someone else who was in a relationship, in a pub shitter. KB is Snecky level, not as bad as Frizzell or Reece, true. There's a not-hard-to-spot pattern re Beale's poor behaviour. AFAIK, copious amounts of...

It's 4th vs 12th on the table. The Rebels are objectively very strong favourites. Those TAB odds are free money, just like last week. Hopefully we can keep the scoreline a bit more respectable this time. We've not been as bad at home this year. I think I will wait for teams to be named though. The ...

I don't think rugby needs to be simplified too much too qualify my previous point. NFL is a complicated game and the worst team in the comp makes more money each year than the entire NRL based in a city of 900k. There should be a directive across both countries that club and school games need to be...

I don't really have a problem with the idea of getting rid of the current board, but as far as I can tell the replacements these guys want have not been named? How are we expected to support a coup if we don't know who it is we're supporting? Or what their plan is when they're sitting on the throne...

Zakar

They set the odds based on incoming bets. No they don't. The odds alter based on incoming bets. But of course they have to set odds before any bets are placed. NZ TAB sets the market on Monday afternoon. If there is even money coming in for both teams then the odds don't move. Most times you won't ...

Apparently broadcast figures higher than at any point in Super Rugby history. According to this guy anyway.

The respective equivalent games don't seem to clash with NRL or AFL games. SA used to play afternoon games. What's so special about NZ and Australian rugby that they can't have afternoon games. The Drua pack out their stadium with afternoon games. I was just asking the question. Arvo games in Austr...

Didn't he skip training or something to go party on Alan Jones' yacht?

Don't get me wrong, I love a good yacht party, but you wouldn't get me within a bargepole of an Alan Jones party, even if I'm 20 years past his target species.

Zakar

The problem is the business model. NZ’s SR teams are beholden to NZR, who give them an allowance and rules to abide by with. Their primary role is to produce All Blacks. There is a lot of truth in that. My fixes: - Free player movement between all Super rugby sides (even if it means players switch ...

Its a pretty significant shift in strategy. Transmission used to go to coal plants in the Hunter. Now they are going and the new centres of energy are nowhere near there. Its actually what makes the Gippsland OSW zones so attractive, there are existing TLs leading to Melbourne from there that used ...

Disappointing loss obviously. Not surprising to see fans of other teams piling in on us and Rob Penney. F**k you guys and the nothing-teams you support. I have faith that we have the players and staff to turn it around once we navigate through this unprecedented injury crisis. We've also copped two...

Lonergan and Lolesio’s stocks took a dive. Won’t be much easier against the Canes next week as well.

I agree, they looked good. But it was only the Crusaders

Just watched the blues v Brumbies properly. That was the softest display I’ve seen by an Australian team in a long time. Swain, Valentini & Cale in particular were just pathetic. Absolutely soft at the ruck. Cale was good, probably the only one that played well. Rest was pathetic. Not sure what the...

Geez the Force don't look half bad.

Man Franks is getting melted every time he gets the ball. He might still be fine in the scrum, but he doesn't look up to much else.

Tries to be Goddy but no-one pays attention I think otherwise, it’s a bit ‘mid’ when it comes to education standards and is basically where you go if you’re sporty and you don’t want to traipse into the city or north shore. And yes, the only rugby school of any intent, NB tries a bit and so does St...

Yes Is Augies legitimately a good school, or is it a bit too goddy? Seems to be the only one on the NB (other than Narrabeen I suppose) that takes Rugby seriously.

We look so shit. Particularly Lolesio

Sportsbet have the Crusaders at $1.15 vs Force at $5.40 Crazy odds for a team that's won one game all season away from home in Perth where we struggled historically. Almost tempted to put $5 on the Force at that value, but just can't bring myself to bet against my team. That's insane odds. Should b...

And now I'm loading Fallout 4 off steam as a result. Played Fallout 3, and either 1 or 2 years and year ago, but never got around to No. 4.
You should try new vegas.

Best of the series, other than the original isometric ones which are a class of their own.

Yes. The gold-plating thing was annoying alright The new problem is that the wires don’t go to the places where the wind blows. That’s why the Govt (to their modest credit) are setting up these ‘green zones’ and trying to promoted renewables in those places. Its a pretty significant shift in strate...

This.

Despite playing shit, and missing 2 of your top 3 players, with another going down early, still put 31 on the Highlanders and didn't allow a point. That's decent.
