Re: Bondi Junction Shooting
This is very sad, but it would have been significantly more-so if it wasn’t for Australia’s gun laws. Big call. I’m old enough to remember when used semi-automatic or bolt action rifles were on sale for less than a week’s pay in army surplus stores, with sod-all questions asked. Yet the murder rate...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Some random hot takes from the weekend: - Gibbon isn’t the guy. He struggled at times in the set-piece. - Uelese’s throw is fine until it’s not, and then it descends to a goat-fcuk - Oz teams across the board are the fittest they’ve ever been. It’s a great sign imo. - Harry Wilson needs to get bett...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
It's almost like focussing on handling, ball skills and fitness has benefits. The very things hoped for from players - mainly backs, of course - brought over from league. And likely cheaper. Retaining the most promising rugby / dual code youngsters would also be nice, but the problem there is the c...

Re: Bondi Junction Shooting
Schizophrenia is a horrific condition. I had to study its interactions with the law when at uni.
It's pretty grim. People can live with it for years, then suddenly they are cooking their mother in a bullet smoker.

Re: Waratahs vs Crusaders Match Thread
How does that work as he kicked it when the clock was red? Because according to the ref, it wasn't red. Bloody homer ref! 👍 I am quite sure he knows the laws better than I do. Surely the ball would only be dead once the conversion happens or not? So if he kicked it at 80:01 then you would have to a...

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
The Rebels play, there was a knock on that was called backwards, and a dubious flat pass.
Or maybe, what the fudge would I know.
Borderline when I saw it first, clear PT on the replay.

Re: Reds 2024 - too early for Kiss out?
Kiss needs to sort out a few things: - take the points ffs. Quick taps on full-arm penalties in front of the posts? Choosing the Line out over penalties in the wet? Two games in a row they’ve blown. - rotating Lynagh out for Creighton is insane. Creighton is the worst player I’ve seen at SR level. ...

I reckon Pietsch is a smokey for Schmidt's squad. Hard worker, high workrate, chases kicks hard, finishes his chances. Sounds like the sort of wingers have been turning out for Ireland.

Sure mate. I bet there’s some real analysis behind that statement…… how often have you actually seen Lonergan kick? Last year he kicked 7 penalties and 14 conversions. That’s not many, right?

Lonergan isn’t the best kicker in his club team. That’s a bit disingenuous. Lolesio is kicking about 100% this year. Lonergan would be the second best kicker in Oz rugby. Sure mate.
