You sound like my mates Paul and John in the early 60s. Used to drive us mad the racket next door.

Sheesh, you can't on the one hand mock boomers then go full American.
I was speaking to a boomer and an American, you have to meet them where they are.

Leopold presents his ideas well. And his ideas are inherently appealing (Wall Street bad) However, he takes liberties with connecting the dots, talks from bias and thus he uses polemic rather than academic tools There is little regard given for alternate theories. It makes him entertaining and read...

Make sure that you operate the VCR for him mind you . What an odd thing to say. Are you implying that Caleb is thick? Twat. I assumed it was a Gen Z reference from a Boomer. Like a rotary phone or cursive writing. Sheesh, you can't on the one hand mock boomers then go full American. :lol:

Anyone who take those books seriously and honestly must be homophobic. I know I'm getting off topic here and ranting on a pet peeve, but this is the failure of "religious moderatism": it's just not honest about what the religion teaches. Ditch the honesty, ditch the tolerance or ditch the religion....

UncleFB

I'm being a bit picky here, but it annoys me how religion gets off the hook. He's not "hiding behind it". He's a raging homophobic twat because of it . It's not a coincidence. The book really does teach that God "hates fags". He's just being honest about it. Religion isn't getting off the hook. The...

I don't think I've watched a single show on STAN aside from Rugby. We obviously have different tastes when it comes to shows? I watch some of the Oz shows and some of the new English shows, I also rewatch some old shows - I just did the entirety of Red Dwarf, including all the new seasons I hadn't ...

It's not a shit app though, it's one of the better ones. In the direct sport head to head it's knocking out Kayo with one punch in round one, in the non sport it compares favourably with Netflix, is much better than Amazon and obviously Binge (because that's just the same as Kayo). Stan also has th...

I'm a Rugby fan and I'm envious of lots of things about Rugby League. I'm envious at the crowds the NRL attracts here in Australia, whilst Super Rugby crowds continue to dwindle. I'm envious that they have ample, live free to air coverage, whilst Rugby is hidden away behind the worst streaming serv...

To suggest Union fans, itself a dying sport, are envious of League is nothing short of laughable. Niche is not envious of super duper mega niche.

His biggest downfall is that he's a raging homophobic twat who hides behind his idiotic imported religious fundamentalism. But yeah, on the field, that was probably his biggest issue.

His kicking was merely adequate. It was his biggest downfall. His biggest downfall is that he's a raging homophobic twat who hides behind his idiotic imported religious fundamentalism.

And his kicking still let him down though still handy. If his kicking and defence were top notch he would have been a world class Fullback. What are you talking about? He was arguably the best fullback in the world. His kicking was fine. His kicking was merely adequate. It was his biggest downfall....

UncleFB

That's a weird comparison. If you played hooker in league and scrum half in union it would be a better comparison. The two hooker positions are nothing alike. Also, what kind of hooker is uninvolved? He must have been been standing on the sidelines waiting for the glory moments. :lol: My experience...

UncleFB

That’s something I hear, but I never got bored playing rugby when I didn’t personally have the ball. There’s plenty of stuff to do and think about, right? I played hooker in both sports. I always preferred playing League because I felt more involved and the game felt faster. There were things i lik...

I'm a bit out of touch with local-level rugby, I'll have to start watching provincial games closely again to understand the selectors' rationale. Maybe goalkicking was an issue. He was the top point scorer in the comp. I have no idea of the % though. Attitude? The B/S excuse that is brought up by d...

Speaking of which, how come McClutchie isn't in a Super Rugby side this season? He's good enough. I don't know whether he has a background in playing halfback, but he looks like he could potentially be a player who covers 9 and 10. Maybe I'm dreaming. No idea. Broken selectorial system in Super rug...

Hopefully he take his chances. I assume he was in the Hasting BH side the year that they held a lot of guns? * post-edit: yes, I just read his wikipedia profile. :thumbup: Speaking of which, how come McClutchie isn't in a Super Rugby side this season?

Would have been a more regular Canes squad member if not for injury which allowed Devery to leapfrog him into the Canes. Hopefully he take his chances. I assume he was in the Hasting BH side the year that they held a lot of guns? * post-edit: yes, I just read his wikipedia profile. :thumbup:

Ummm...Meads ended Ken Catchpoles' career......those black tinted glasses..... I was at that game. If a player did anything like that today, he would be banned for life.

What is funny about the OP in this thread is that Vunivalu got his league contract based off his schoolboy rugby ability, and for 90% of NZers mentioned in the thread they're dual code youngsters anyway.

This is the type of thread, but in reverse I expect to see on Aussie league forums.

To be honest I'm excited the US are finally moving to decimalisation, well if they're in good enough shape for the move. I still have no idea what a gallon os.

Who is? Doran is doing his usual hissy fit, Payten is trying to both sides it but is clearly making an issue of it.
