Yes. Amazing character. Not that nice!

That’s awful.
Yep.

Thankfully, life turned out really well for him, incredible surfer and made a real go of the LA thing, but it was millimetres from being otherwise.

Good to hear.

The Brisbane Line?

There’s also another option for Australian talent that doesn’t need to go to NSW boarding schools, which is to go to NZ for the last two years of high school. I know a family who did that. The kid was something special and being Kiwis themselves, parents migrated back there so they could get him in...

Nah. It’s hard enough building momentum and a fan base with only half a dozen home games a year. 3 or so would be suicide. Call them the Melbourne Brumbies and be done with it. Play all games in Melbourne, or maybe 1 in the ACT like the Reds do with Townsville every other year. They could play in t...

When Super Rugby went professional in 1996, Queensland winger Damian Smith stirred up Queensland-NSW zeal at Ballymore with the most famous punch to miss its target in the history of Super Rugby. He was sent off for his rabid aggression when attempting to hammer rival winger David Campese’s head in...

If the Rebels do go cactus, then the brumbies should definitely take their catchment and move to Melbourne. No one supports them in Canberra anyway, and the brumbies system overlayed an actual jr pathway would be a good combo. Rebrand as the Southern Brumbies, with half their games played in Canber...

By the time they get to U20, they're already out of the Union system and into NRL systems. Go back to U16 and everyone is playing both codes Is this really true for most rugby kids in NSW and QLD? I don't think this is the case in other states, I guess simply because League is non existent. Many NR...

agreed, but I'll drop it now because I don't want to threadjack with my rants

And some kind of random, capricious limit on Brumbies players to be included

Let's say "no more than 5 allowed"

Just to keep things interesting

shanky

And to clarify…

I think that a guy coming up from Adelaide to play as a non-local is different from shipping in half of (say) Riverview’s forward pack and promising them 1st grade spots

shanky

Sorry. Just angry about what I’ve seen For example, I’ve seen the best player come out of Adelaide playing 3rd grade colts behind some Tarquin from Scots etc. It boils my blood so it does. Our system is fecked and no one upstairs cares. Sorry Who was that? When I was playing at Gordon we took in a ...

Pleasing to see the Wright-for-captain bandwagon is gathering speed

He doesn’t play for the Brumbies so not everyone will be on board but most of the rest don’t have any conflicts so can get behind this.

shanky

You’d have to think so, surely One interesting concept is how they’d be produced these days George Martin had a huge effect on their later stuff especially. If you hear an original take of Strawberry Fields it sounds like a folksy acoustic singalong. Martin (and his sound engineer) turned it into a ...

Never seen that before

Great work.

Fair enough

But would it be too much to ask for this putative singer who could actually sing - and had two normal eyes in his head?

Shankster I understand what you (and this seems to be the general sentiment of Australian rugby fans) are saying about it being difficult to make rep teams but I'm not sure if it's still accurate especially in other states. People like Uelese Leota, Faamasulli, Canham, etc made to Super rugby witho...

You’re likely to be even more frustrated as you work your way through the Australian youth selection system Get used to it, I’m afraid. Your son would need to be George Smith to break through the NSW school hegemony And that’s if he was in NSW at a government school… Best bet for a promising Victori...

Missing the point if you think it's about the lead being a good singer.

OK. Glad you enjoyed it

Educate me. I am quite shallow at times

shanky

Correct

Struggling singer discovers…it aint the material, son

Meanwhile he fails to notice one of the world’s most renowned lovely ladies is in love with him

What a prat

shanky

Has this been done? Apols if RR

Anyway, watched this recently

It’s shit. The lead actor is pub-singer bad

Any other views?

Cheers

(This is not a Naki callout thread)

Dedicated to those cool minor characters who took your fancy in a movie

Feel free to add your own clips. There’ll be many
