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...

Dangerous misinformation from 7.

There is a lawsuit.

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...

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...

Force are apparently about to announce two significant signings Nic Dolly (hooker) and guy porter (centre/wing). Both Aussies capped for England, however will be shortly eligible for the Wallabies (dolly end of the year, Porter next year IIRC). Along with BPA, force are clearly strengthening the tea...

Can you post some context when you share a twatter link?
Oh yeah sure. Will do, don't mean to cause anxiety.

More of a time thing really

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.

It’s being reported. At first I thought the daughter might have been the youngish mother. He really loves all his very extended family. I hope he can get through it. Yep, don’t wish this sort of thing on anyone. Wife just got home from what was supposed to be a quick ward round and turned into a 16...

They probably paid for his meth and wristies

I saw one rugby league cooker on Facebook claim it was a false flag operation by the afl - because nobody actually walks around in a kangaroos jersey apparently.

Zakar

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...

Ignore this.
Checked the laws and the kicker has 90 seconds.

Saders’ fans have a legit gripe here.
He kicked it before the 90 seconds expired, which means Tahs can kick it off.

Because according to the ref, it wasn't red.

Look at the size of Talakais head. His poor mum

Rebels now in front of the Chiefs on the ladder.

Folou Fakatava not good on the mike

Yeah this Lancaster kid is alright.

Weirdly, Lancaster wasn't held so didn't even need to release. Bizarre.

Zakar

Why can Gordon kick from the sidelines so well, yet miss sitters? Must be mental.

Huh?

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.

Did the Highlanders 6 just pass it to himself??

Holy shit Lancaster.

fudge our 7s program really pays dividends.

Uelese back to being useless.

Anyway, I'm sure proud former Waratah Nick Berry's bizarre 81st minute intervention earned him a few free beers at the post game function from his 2014 teammates. That would be quite the achievement, since Berry never played for the Waratahs Bitter pill to swallow, for you, I’m sure. :( My bad. I t...

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. ...

Zakar

I’m just watching the Stan mini game. Saders score their last try with 78:32 on the clock buy the clock doesn’t stop. Berry asked the TMO when the fry was scored. They take the kick at 80:01, which is obviously more than 60 seconds, right? As the ref is the sole judge of time, and it seems he under...

Used to be Bray.

Maloney from the current crop.

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.

At the end of the day, a Brumbies fan will bend the WBs out of shape to accomodate another Brumbies player It’s probably treasonous, if you think about it I’m not one to boast about the magnanimity and impartiality that I’m known for; however there are only 3 Reds in Towny’s Wallaby Certainties XV....

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? I like him as a player and don’t mind if he kicks the goals fwiw. The real question is - Is he the best opt...

He's a tuggranong boy IIRC.
Did he make any visits to the coast as a youngster?
The snow?

You're right, that's probably enough to make him a poach.

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.

The worst are SMH/other media rugby trolls desperately trying to denigrate the Tahs win. They have even trolled an article about the sale of TG Miller field, Eastwood rugby club being sold off to developers as a good result to eradicate an "elite" sport. Rugby wasn't even mentioned in the article. ...

Someone earlier raised the fact that 87.5% of the 'tahs forwards are average . Tane Edmed in that regard is sub par. Weird comment (from whomever said that), I thought the Tahs forwards were way better than their counterparts. Main difference in class for the crusaders was the wife beater. He looke...
