Offering money to a whole team isn't underhand. Asking welsh union clubs to switch codes isn't underhand. The players and the clubs all had choices, some chose to switch, some chose not to. There is nothing underhand about that. You don't see it wrong because they weren't rugby league clubs or play...

Or at the very least forcibly merged into the Crusaders? Against their will if needed. Apparently Taranaki have been desperate to host a S15 franchise for years. They have a passionate fan base, a dependable supply of local talent and most importantly assurances of sound financial backing. Meanwhil...

Watched After Earth, because there was nothing else worth watching showing. It's stupid. Like, really really stupid. First up, it's a kids film with a kid taking the lead. Smith Sr does very, very little. So it's on Smith Jr's shoulders along with his annoying accent. The setting sounds decent, unt...

I have the nook with the built in backlight, best gadget i've ever owned :) Main thing I like is with the books on the memory card being able to browse them how I ordered them rather than just lumping them all together which they do on the hard drive. My Dad has a KObo touch and this annoys the hel...

The Country Rugby League has scrapped plans to take next year's City-Country clash to Broken Hill in fear of a repeat of the disappointing crowd that turned up at Coffs Harbour on Sunday. The unflattering crowd of 4635 has again raised questions about the legitimacy of the game and the importance o...

Great series until they wrap it up, talk about bare bones writing to finish out a franchise when they have completely run out of ideas. For 3.5 seasons great though.

Since free to air in NZ has decided no one would be remotely interested in the NI matches I fear I will not be cheering on the good guys in the cricket either

As someone who has been to Fiji it amazes me that the NRL scouts have not set up permanent camp there. I watched a couple of games of League and one Union and was impressed with the skill, athelitisism and enthusiasm of the locals. In the resort I stayed at they showed an NRL match one day and all ...

Well done London!

Unfort had to go without sound due to the new levels of inane commentary Channel 9 felt that we should be subjected to Fark me how to spoil a sporting occasion, get the commercial channels here in Oz to cover it.

I can't decide if I liked or disliked it though. I disliked it in the worst way because it was a film that almost had so much goodness in it and that just makes the horrid retarded writing stand out as worse. Its a bit weird because it could have been a fantastic movie but instead it just isn't. I'...

From reading this . Why did the science crew take off their helmets just because the atmosphere was similar? Shouldn't they be smarter than that? They should but it's a filum so filum logic applies. But all films make perfectly logical sense, hence why we actually don't have Sci-Fi or horror movies...

With 20 odd days to go am already over the whole fecking thing, thank you Aussie media ...

What's the point of this? Any regular posters already know what all these mean, and any newbs can just make do with picking it up as they go along. But this means when a term like "fudge him, he's dead" goes from just something Yeeb says to an actual boredism, it is documented. But does anybody rea...

Saw it in 3D earlier tonight. Not bad but as others have said already, not a patch on Alien or Aliens but plenty of plot holes. Some questions: Why bother casting Guy Pearce as the old man when they could just cast an old actor? What was the giant engineer doing at the beginning on the waterfall? W...

Not read the thread but is it worth watching this film in 3D or will it not make any real difference? Going to see it tonight. toga, 3d would be better for this sort of movie. Would disagree, Scott barely uses 3D throughout the movie so it wouldn't make a lot of difference to catch the non-3D versi...

The leaked plot from Aint It Cool sounds a hell of a lot better and more coherent. "Earth. Year 2058.

These "Alien Gods" also terraformed Earth in order to make it ...

I could be wrong but i could see this share price rising pretty quickly even at this very high valuation as you will probably get quite a lot of people just wanting to be part of it, 900 million users etc. The share price wont reflect the under lying value though. Could be one to get in and out ver...

AC, daylight savings is over now. Thanks. I prefer 5.30pm starts to 4.30pm starts for a number of reasons.

*News to Hand* - the Aussie release of Season 1 has been censored Not sure what they have removed, but my suggestion would be to import the R1 version via amazon.com or other online retailers, ensure your player is multi-region first.

An interesting theory, would explain that the virus was airborne: When they get to the CDC Jenner does blood tests on them, when they leave he whispered something to rick that shocked him. Sophia likely wasn't bitten, because she wouldn't have escaped, the zombie would have eaten her, it's more lik...

Good news for Aussies, the five or so of you that haven't already downloaded or imported, season 1 hitting DVD and Blu this month. :thumbdown: Sucks to be us. Quick question for the gurus of the show, some arguement that the dead simply rise without being infected with a virus? - this true or not. ...

As opposed to the vast majority who slavishly follow Yank opinion I thought UA delivered exactly what it promised, Kate in tight leather, violence, Kate in tight leather, more acton than you can throw Sly at, Kate in tight leather, and Lycans v Vamps. Just like the trailers promised. A good time wa...
