Perhaps one of you ALP voters can tell me ... Leigh Sales announced on 730 on your ABC tonight, that KK had declined to be interviewed. As, apparently has Dan the Man. Despite AC's contrary rhetoric, no-one in their right mind would suggest that the ALP hasn't had a cushioned run on the ABC news an...

Can someone explain to me why boosters are an issue, I dont understand the problem.

What??? I like Thai and Vietnamese but there's lots of good Chinese in Sydney, although not that many proper HK Style places so I always like to try a new one if it pops up. Oh I didn't even click that the empanadas were in 12 Taps. :lol: TBF, I didn't go in because my bloody mask snapped so was ju...

Teams don't even compete in a defensive lineout most the time. I reckon they might with a dominant lineout. The point is it can be mitigated. A dominant lineout 5 metres does not guarantee a try. A dominant scrum can guarantee a penalty try or pushover. Plus a yellow card. The Boks were competing i...

He is a great ball carrying loose forward. But so is Hooper and so is Samu. Oh, and so is McReight. So if we start three of them, what are we doing about the lineout and about the tight work protecting the ruck? Are we leaving that to the tight five and having 3 loose forwards looking for pilfers an...

Against a physical but less mobile Arg that is the wrong back row. We dont want to be blown off the ball. Plus this will weaken the lineout and the scrum, and we dont want to be playing to their strengths either. Id keep a consistent backrow with Valentini, Hooper and Leota. We can go the smaller, f...

Obviously, there are a few other factors at play, but just on a very basic level, there are more than twice as many lineouts than scrums on average. Between the two TRC games on the weekend, there were 60 lineouts total to 26 scrums. Anecdotally, I would also expect a higher proportion of tries com...

Farva

Im not sure we do. Its a tactic that works for some teams. Others are then able to counter by upping the tempo.

Farva

Im going scrum, because it means that teams with weak scrums are less likely to throw the ball around based on fear of dropping it and then giving away a penalty. That means teams will not have much penetration in their attack. Having said that a dominant lineout means that you can partially negate ...

There are no doubt also a fair chunk of your run of the mill anarchists. People who are there for a fight because they can.

Left or right loses meaning now. These Qanon types are probably somewhat socialist. They are also racist and generally arseholes.

I don’t necessarily trust that list.
Manila has been in some form of lockdown since March last year for instance.

Its a public holiday tomorrow, so if they are there, they definitely aren't tradies.

Should have been the AB coach but maybe a bit too brown for the AB hierarchy after what the ex Crusader players said about the brown players. Which ex-Crusaders? He's full of shit.

Jdog, the Burnett institute released modeling today that has Victoria peaking at 1500 plus cases a day - and possibly over 2000 per day in about 4 -5 weeks. You must have missed that. All your politically charged chest beating about case numbers has been for nothing. Fortunately, it no longer matte...

War wont happen. China is now too reliant on the western nations, and vice versa, for it to be risked. Plus the weapons that each side own will mean there will be no winners. Taiwan is an internal thing for the CCP, they can rattle some swords when it suits them but they wont invade. And vice versa,...

I just went back and watched it. It’s shown at 28:30.
They had a look at it and decided there was nothing there. Dunno it could have been called a penalty (but that is it) but I would have been up in arms if it was.

Definitely not red as there were mitigating factors.

Last week the game was in the balance for the whole 82 mins. This was a more assured performance by the Wallabies. They were confident and took it to the Boks. The last 20 minutes the Boks were gassed and the Wobs stepped it up. They are making excellent progress and Rennies influence is starting t...

South Africa played a very one dimensional game. They kicked for touch, looked to maul and then tried to win a penalty and do it again. It worked well in the first half. In the second we figured out their maul and they weren’t able to adapt. It was game over then. Their backs had no penetration outs...

In the balance. Saffa tactics much smarter. But they don’t look at all dangerous with ball in hand. We do. That is good for us as the game opens up in the second half.
