What a great game between Southern Districts and Eastwood at Forshaw. Woodies lost a player to a red card in the first half, but won the game. One of the best club performances I have ever seen.

Andrew Peacock gone!!!!! Really is the closing chapter on that period of history, with Hawke already passed. At least we have ScoMo. :(( Andrew Peacock is an incredibly unfortunate name. Yeah, but he rooted Shirley McLaine. You ever cracked anything that good? And his wife left him for Robert Sangs...

I'm pretty sure that mightyreds is an Australian based poster. But for some reason he never posts on the Australian Politics threads. He only seems interested in American politics, and sharing far-right lunatic viewpoints. I am also pretty sure that he is an Aussie. He was all over the Izzy Folau c...

Great episode of Tucker Carlson, highlighting the without-values coalition of CIA-FBI-Democrats and their operating mode of 'whatever gains you want to achieve for yourself, create a lie that supports it.

Not forgetting Mr Mediocrity, John Winston Howard.

Petaia’s main problem is that every man and his dog (plus a fair few dribblers) have anointed him as the new messiah He can never be dropped now. The pressure is enormous on the poor kid. "Every man and his dog" would be everybody, wouldn't it? Or are "dribblers" from another planet? Please explain...

All this AJ and veteran love being espoused by fuckers that don't have a clue what soldiering is like, I dislike it a lot. The AWM should stay as it is, not expanded. There is a big splash in today's Oz commemorating the coming end of the Afghanistan shambles. It features photos of our 29 fallen, o...

A lot will depend on how the internal politics of it all works out. If both squads are genuinely the best available players, and the supporter base is onside, they will be a great addition. If....

When I lived there the big rugby event was Tupou College vs Tupou High School. Packed ground.

I am a bit worried about the style of play that Wilson is playing for the Reds...trucking it up head first into contact time after time will not work for us against the Darkness. That was his best game this year, but I agree. Against the ABs I think he should take on the wide running role that Samu...

There’s a reason why Nick Bishop is an analyst and not a national coach. I like him though. A lot of those Roarers are just empty windbags... :uhoh: As opposed to the full windbags around these parts? No names, no packdrill.

His father died suddenly about a year ago. How long is he entitled to grieve? He's just a kid.

We watched a bit of the Bond Uni v Norths game. Or, rather, we tried to (one of the Bond players is the son of some friends). The feed was terrible, verging on unwatchable. There will be some glitches. Let's hope they get sorted out bloody quickly. They’re leveraging Australia’s telecommunications ...

Watching the Woodies against Western Sydney. Quite a good production. Dan Parks is commentator. Replays are a bit shonky.

The rugby is okay.

My apologies to QLDers, the Hospital Cup is also being televised.

Fell asleep after half time. Was a truly shit game up to then. Haven't watched it. Life is too short. Eastwood vs the Two Blues in the SS this arvo, now that is a different ball of wax.

Ikatau has been excellent but it would be nice to have a bit more size at 13.

Hamish Stewart at 12, Paisami at 13. Petaia on the flank.

First round today. At its best, it is worth watching. A lot will depend on the production quality, only one game each week will have the full treatment. All the others will be a bit bland. But it's Australian club rugby.

Isn’t all that stuff old testament Hebrew Religion anyway? I thought Jesus rebelled against that somewhat. I think it was more that Jesus rebelled against the hypocrisy of the religious leaders of the day. But anybody who approaches the gospels with an open mind would have to admit that Jesus cared...

It’s also funny that no one is screaming about people working on Sunday/Saturday - isn’t that one of the big sins?! Sunday observance is still the go in Tonga.

It is a beat up but unfortunately that’s largely irrelevant as I’ve had the unfortunate experience of being in a church when a passionate sermon on it was being delivered.

Yeah, but we're musing on what they thought before the arrival of the missionaries. We all know that many of the PIs are currently big believers in the sky fairy. But less than 200 years ago most of them believed in multiple sky fairies. Did these multiple sky fairies hate the gays like the Abraham...

Australian UFC star Tai Tuivasa has slammed Israel Folau for his hypocrisy, claiming he has seen the under-fire superstar "blind as a skunk" on a night out. The heavyweight fighter joined the chorus of athletes condemning Folau's homophobic comments, saying he needed "a hiding". "I know what I've s...

That would be hard to beat. Tonga might just have to settle for a worthy second. Incidentally, I worked in Tonga with a man who was heavily involved with the Free Wesleyan Church, he told me that King Tupou IV bitterly regretted allowing the Mormons into Tonga.

Sounds as though Izzy is running out of options. The NRL do not want him from all accounts. From my perspective, the issue is not so much his views (as repugnant and theologically suspect as some of them are) but the fact that he apparently promised not to share them on social media, and then broke ...
