Its the airports that would worry me.

Enjoy it while it lasts. It only takes one infected flight crew. We will enjoy it. Palaszczuk ha already warned that we should expect more cases from the current Indooroopilly cluster. But today is a good day for QLD. The Indooroopilly cluster looks as though it is well controlled. But all it takes...

We are bloody fortunate to have any elite rugby to watch under current circumstances. Who else is there to play?

1. Explain to our captain that he has to learn how to manage the referee, and "help" him to make consistent decisions, just like McCaw did, so nicely, and so effectively. If Hooper cannot do that, get a new captain. 2. Instruct the whole backline NEVER to throw long cut-out passes against the Darkne...

We humble Ozzies know our place. But it is slightly disconcerting to read several posts explaining why the attendance will be down, without a single mention of the rather salient fact that WE CANNOT GET TO AUCKLAND!!!!!

When I worked in London in the seventies, one of the staff was called Bill, he was a mad Brentford supporter, everybody called him Billy Brentford. I hope he is still alive!!

Our last trip to the UK we stayed in Kew, just over the river.

My neighbour lost her older son in that blasted place. That happened 12 or so years ago. She used to work out in our gym, we spent a fair bit of time together. This was an unwinnable war, fought on behalf of a corrupt ruling Afghan ruling class. Fark them and fark all the leaders who supported this...

The Delta strain is just over the border, and the Northern Rivers region of NSW is full of anti-vaxxers, and anti-maskers. It is only a matter of time.......

What is his kicking percentage? I am guessing single figures.

Dreadful news. Father and son were both wonderful cricketers. No other bowler has come close to as off-putting a delivery as Lance. Yeah. And for some reason, there are not very many father son examples in cricket. As an Aussie I always hoped that a Bradman descendant would pop up. His granddaughte...

Just went back and had a look, there were a few of us wanting Kellaway picked for the Wallabies in late 2014. I'd forgotten he completely torched the NRC after the U20s WC, scoring tries for fun. He was a good finisher. But I did not see him as Wallaby material, looked a bit small and not very stro...

Haven't checked my newsfeed ... is this related to some recent news quote? To my mind it is related to the whole climate science debate, in that it was an example of science predicting a catastrophe unless action was taken to get rid of CFCs. And that action was agreed to internationally, and taken...

Can some of the bored's experts tell us what the fuss was all about? It was obviously a well executed fake, just another climate change fraud, shirley?

I understand that climate has swung back and forth from frozen to warm and back again many times. Then for some reason this stopped happening for the last 15000 years and nothing much has changed since. Why did it stop changing? Was that us? 15000 years ago most of Canada was covered in many hundre...

Lolesio had a mare, but JOC is still injured - hopefully he can turn it around next game.

Toomua did okay when he came on.

Can I just say Channel 9's coverage sucks a bag of dicks. Commercials every stoppage in play means there is no build up in atmosphere. :thumbdown: Weird comment. Maybe you should start a petition to give the rights to the ABC? We can return to being an amateur sport in Australia. Or maybe you shoul...

He’s the GOAT imo.

Catchpole #1 Great guy, too, would go anywhere and do anything to promote the game.

For my two bobs' worth, I hope that it is a good, clean, and open game, with no controversies and no injuries.

Oh, and a Wallaby win.

I was a casual contact at two points in Cairns so now self-quarantining awaiting results of tests. Drive through testing station took all of 15 min in and out. :thumbup: All the best, mate. Hope the boredom doesn't get to you.

Home and work is surrounded by contact sites. Weird feeling - it's only a matter of time. Being very careful this time around even though I'm fully vaccinated.

Things are a bit quiet in Sydney at the moment. Lockdown time. No club rugby now or in the forseeable future, unfortunately. But just send an email to the club.

Yeah, absolutely. Dumbledore sent me a Crikey article by Guy Rundle talking about the difference in approach that delves into an examination of the pysche a little too much for this place, it's an interesting take. https://www.crikey.com.au/2021/07/28/a-supreme-crisis-of-federalism-ineffectual-cent...

I've heard Dutton is doing his numbers. He didn't get them right last time so I don't know if that might prompt him to do them properly for the next spill or not. At this point, I don't know who is worse. Have you also heard that Clive Palmer is likely to mount some sort of challenge to Mr Potatohe...

It's great that it's going ahead but they better not feck this up. If the delta strain gets into NZ because of some gormless idjit the fecal matter will hit the wind turbine.

However, if the aim is to eliminate high shots, we should consider eliminating tackles above the waist. Why not? We eliminated shoulder charges, and the game did not suffer.

I was being facetious. I was at the 1973 Grand Final, when John Nicholls, Carlton's captain coach was king hit in full view of 110,000 spectators. Great fun if you were a Richmond supporter. And of course they went on to win the flag.

Far too rational Froggie. :thumbup: Rational? How about we try to find ways to maintain the equilibrium of the contest? 15 against 15? Tackle lower and there’s no risk. MK copped a bad call, and the 20 minute red card is a great approach that I hope is adopted, but players’ behaviour needs to chang...
