It’s a hack to get around the ‘must be on the list since birth’ thing

Na fudge that.

Agreed, that was a clear knock.

Clear knock on.

So is Sam Carter bizarrely.

Zakar

Geez the Force don't look half bad.

Zakar

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.

Zakar

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...

Zakar

Thanks christ.

Zakar

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.

Zakar

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...

LOL Foketi is not an ‘ex leaguie’ He’s a union junior who went to France for a year or two. Probably never played a game of league in his life He was Augies right? And Manly Junior?

I don’t really know the guy but my daughter is a fan of his Mrs and I am fantastic company. Might be worth giving him a buzz, because we are definitely going there.

Wasn’t pretty.

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.

He's been on 108kg Tele'a since Petaia went off. His size isn't an issue.

Zakar

That pass from landers 22 was woefull

Zakar

Few good weeks in a row from Salami.

Zakar

Petaia disclosed shoulder apparently. 4-6 weeks.

Reds on the bones of their arse.

The reds half on the bench is a talent.
Thomas is the most talented uncapped halfback in Super Rugby either side of the Tasman.

Big wraps on him for his NPC efforts?

I'd have Teddy Wilson take that title personally.

Zakar

Reds very tight and static to start. Trying to kick the front door down.

It’s the ACT

My junior club was in NSW.
I know. Was just allowing you to self-incriminate a la Sluggy McRake, KC

I expect having once transited through Sydney airport is sufficient to be considered a poach by ol sluggy.

Zakar

I tend to agree with most of that, except for the highlighted bit. There was no suggestion it was Islamic terror except for people leaping to conclusions, and that was then a self perpetuating prophecy from there. In Australia, it was less likely to be that than some other form of violence. Why is ...

For us the money is a bonus. I just like being able to use electricity during the day for free (I know it's not free...). Not free, but no usage charges means just what it sounds like!

Cool. So you can headbutt someone so long as you miss, but a clumsy tackle is worse Got it I don't know if they take intent into consideration? I mean, if someone threw a massive swinging arm and missed completely, there's intent but no actual contact. Would/should they still be sanctioned? No, but...

Zakar

I’m again baffled How does Fraser get 3 weeks for a head-clash and the Drua guy get two weeks for a head-butt? The tribunal is a farce. Essentially because there is no low range for high shots, but there is for striking somehow. I suppose the faf slap is a good example of a low range strike. Not su...

Force named an interesting team - Beale and Rodda back in action. Interested to see how Rodda does particularly, as I feel we have plenty of loosehead locks, but lacking true tighthead locks, other than maybe Neville, and maybe you count LSL in that.

Zakar

Jesus, there must be literally nothing else to do there.

Zakar

Let's face it Lolesio is the best but he sint world class. In fact we're lauding players for simply being able to kick for touch or not drop the ball. We've really gone backwards in what we need to see in a 10. There’s some truth in this but I think you’re being harsh. Carter Gordon, Will Harrison ...

Zakar

Well I ask you then, why was Lolesio not picked last year? Cooper, Gordon, JOC and Donaldson all preferred. I may have a similar haircut to Eddie Jones, but I'm not him. Neither am I his predecessor. I did suspect that as a potential answer. But I wasn’t having a dig. It was a genuine question. Why...

New Zealand back Jordie Barrett is to join Leinster on a short-term contract next season.

As a side note, the solar installers are straight hustlers. My BIL got panels installed and got a 5% discount of they provided 5 referrals of people that may need it. I happened to be one of the 5. I have a flat roof, that has two massive gum trees shading it. It's a terrible spot for solar. Install...

Interesting on between two posts, apparently Harrison is a kicking obsessive. His return from injury is a great story. I really hope he starts for the rest of the season at the Tahs and has the opportunity to make his mark at ten. He kicks as well l, if not better than Lolesio, but is rapid and his ...

I cannot overstate private capital desire for BESS. Got flicked another teaser last night on a project seeking a buyer. 100MW/200MWh solution. I'm guessing because it has a short turn around for profitability, with the current very real need to arbitrage between cheap daytime energy and night time ...
