I agree these should be the criteria for a red card but if I look at JBs red card it's hard to see there was any force by him, he pretty much seemed to have his feet planted, with Petia looking to smash through him, much more a NH soak tackle to me. He hit a bloke that wasn’t dipping with a shoulde...

Will west coast prop up the bottom again or will they come second last? Debate rages.

Also, I second the fvck you Collingwood

Incidentally the Canes won on the weekend with 14 players for the last 1/3 of a game.
Is it fair to the fans if Jordan Petaia is taken from the ground because another player used a poor tackle technique? It was accidental but Petaia is gone and he is a star of the game.

Farva

Simply put, I don't think red cards are the way to deal with this. It punishes spectators as well as the player. Put them on report and hand down heavy bans instead. Then we need an overhaul of the whole system and go down the AFL path an get rid of cards all together then? Because if something is ...

Not sure I agree. I like the idea that we dont have players suffering brain damage later in life. And for that we need to remove incidence of head knocks, accidental or deliberate. That means that the head becomes off limit and the penalties mean player actions change. For example, on the weekend w...

Bullshit red for Jordie Barrett, Petaia dropped at the the end Is this a whoosh? That’s a red card in 1980s rugby league. I've seen similar only get a yellow for being called a Soak Tackle Give an example because I dont believe you. If there was an example next to the law that discusses red cards, ...

Farva

Was right in front of me, was a clear red and you can understand why with Petaia going off too

Who was the Reds wing / centre who was going to set the world on fire. Had a three letter acronym and I think is a squad filler for the Rebels now off memory, CFS or something like that.

Wait, another reds player hyped up but not delivering…
Feel like a pattern developing here.

No matter how many times you say it's experimental, it won't be true. Unless you think all medicine is ultimately experimental.

Yeah I mean it's pretty obvious isn't it? Probably 95% of second marriages have at least one person who has previously been divorced. So much more likely to be candidates for another one. As opposed to the other 5% of *second marriages* that somehow don’t feature someone who was previously married....

Interestingly enough, when I was a kid, I didnt play sport for any club. I played hockey for example for my school. Clinics in school matter and for clarity, "school based participation" isnt just a clinic. There is a whole public and private school setup. In the late 1990s when I was going through...

I should also add you got upset that I quoted numbers provided by RugbyWA in a parliamentary inquiry. They are official numbers. If you dispute them fine and if you don’t like the school numbers, we’re considersble growth has happened, then why are you ok with the numbers before the Force?

Farva

Anyone who says a professional rugby team (and the accompanying junior development and academies they bring) does nothing to participation and rugby standards especially in a non rugby city/state is talking nonsense. I can't speak for Perth (but Farva has clearly provided evidence to this growth) N...

If you read my past posts, you will see that I have condemned the shooting of unarmed Palestinians by IDF Snipers. I will condemn when the allegations are proven. Are you a Hamas Supporter?

Yes, if proven. Hmmm, I'm not getting much of condemnation vibe... I'd say it's more defensive, with a strong hints of excuse making.

Rodda has done his quad. Going for scans. Still hope he might play tomorrow but my guess is he wont.

Rodda seems to be a walking injury. Sadly, Reesjan Pasitoa seems to be going that way too

Can I also add that Corey Jane is a plum and I will never forgive him for this in April 2009

It’d be great to see Rodda out there. I heard Cron on a podcast talking about him - says he’s fit af and big. He’s still only 27, and if he gets his foot right, is a legit test lock. I’ve got big raps on Pasitoa and Will Harris. Marley Pearce is one for the future. He is only 20 and already playing...

We just hate the Jewish State, make excuses for Jew-hating terrorists, disbelieve Jewish women who say they were raped, support pirates whose flag says “A curse on the Jews”, and march alongside people who want all-out jihad on Jews.

No because November has no basis to make the claim, he might be right but he could equally be wrong, it was he who introduced the whole notion that “you have no basis to make that claim”, it seems that he forgets it works both ways.

Your point being? Somebody has compiled a list of what looks like every documented case of Muslims killing Jews in history. (I'll assume for now that the list is accurate) They didn't do that for fun, they did it in order to create an impression about Islam, and its capacity to live in peace with p...
