Re: NZ hosting Australia 2024- Cricket series thread
Looks like McDonald is still backing in Smith, McDonald also suggested that Steve Smith looks set for an extended run at the top of the order after labelling criticism of his recent poor output unfair. Smith finished the two-Test series with an average of 12.75, ahead of only Mitchell Starc’s 12.25...

Conspiracy theory - The likes of Elon Musk are pushing that stuff like this should be blamed on DEI, taking focus away from the actual issue, cutting corners to increase profit. Something Tesla also does.

Re: Is there a pushback against the safety initiatives in Rugby
There’s head contact at every single pick and drive. Would some people want penalties and cards each time? At the moment it’s not considered high-risk, but taking subjectivity out of it (head contact is head contact) would see games end after a few minutes - all the players would have been sent off...

Re: Is there a pushback against the safety initiatives in Rugby
Don’t think I said not wanting reds = don’t think head knocks matter. That was the straw man you created. My point was more that there is a negative impact to the team who received the head knock. Why should there not then be no immediate consequences for the team that caused the issue? I am sure t...

Re: Is there a pushback against the safety initiatives in Rugby

That means that the head becomes off limit and the penalties mean player actions change. For example, on the weekend w...

So we don’t have cards then? I’m not against it but that is the solution to your comment. Rugby has laws. If you break the law and it reaches a certain threshold you get a red.

Incidentally the Canes won on the weekend with 14 players for the last 1/3 of a game.

Then we need an overhaul of the whole system and go down the AFL path an get rid of cards all together then?

I think that Rugby is "throwing out the baby with the bathwater". The current laws are just another reason why I don't go (unless beer/cabal is involved).

Feeling a lot better about things compared to a few months ago.
I don't even care if we lose most of our games this year, as long as we are building a decent squad and improving week on week.
Targeting hitting out straps for the Lions next year seems like a good idea to me.
