Re: 2024 NRL Round 4: Teams and Game Day
Yes far too many errors for the Cowboys. They've gotten away with it against worse teams. It certainly helped the Broncos getting a penalty and two 6agains the first time they touch the ball. Would also be nice if a referee could get Carrigan to actually play the ball on the mark. He steps around th...

Re: The Politics Thread 2024
Again, you’ve completely missed the point as I’m looking at Macroeconomics not Micro but I’ll entertain you. There have only been 4 shutdowns that have lasted longer than 1 business day. Only one in recent times and it was a partial shutdown. Contingency plans are in place for every government sect...

Re: Why Corey Parker is off Ricky Stuart’s Christmas card list
This may be controversial and I’m not saying it as a reaction to the article or Parker’s commentary but I always thought he was overrated as a player. I know, I know, he has an incredible record, 340+ games, heaps for QLD and Australia, several individual awards, I know. He was definitely a good pl...

Think you missed his point gerg. I don’t think he’s saying the shutdowns themselves are meaningless.

Also the Tapine try: I didn't notice Tapine "knock on". Both him and RTS touched the ball simultaneously and Tapine regained it. Play on.. Given they did it one handed on opposite sides of the ball that’s instantly a knock on. Then it’s just down to which one you believe touched it first ...

I agree with all of that write-up GE. In the NFL teams work on two minute drills. Their 'go-to' plays to win a game at the death. We tried our equivalent tonight and it just looked like utter chaos.

In one sense it's not a great time to be playing the Warriors.

Shut-down Johnson and limit AFB's impact and we're a real chance. As much as it is a ...

That ball playing from Cleary was something special. Thurston and Johns like. He always had that lack of big game winning mentality hanging over his head - ie winning big games single-handedly.
