Re: Bondi Junction Shooting
Aren't most mass shootings in the US done by home grown wacko white boys? Why not jump to that conclusion in this case? Or you know, wait for the facts before making an arse out of yourself. Equally, looking at the list of all mass murders (more than 4 being the threshold) in Australia shows no Isl...

Re: Favourite Rugby Commentator
Who is your favourite rugby commentator. For me it would be Benjamin Kayser followed closely by Justin Marshall. Ridiculously good knowledge of the game and easy to listen accents.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
There may be some truth in saying some League players in Australia have better catch and passing skills compared to some Rugby players in Australia. League is a simple game with players having to make fewer decisions and they tend to have a lot of short passes so I can see why they drop the ball le...

Interesting read on Chriton in the Roar. From an expansive and free running centre (union) he’s played his pro career with his wings clipped. Trucks it up. Doesn’t pass. Occupies the same 15m channel week in week out. If you like training it sounds great. Doesn’t sound that fun to play. I played le...

Some random hot takes from the weekend: - Gibbon isn’t the guy.

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.

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.
