[emoji16] It did cross my mind. I figured the odds of 3 medals in a short period and no premierships were on the long side!

Would love to see him finish his career as back to back Churchill medallist

So in a nutshell, a good economic outcome of cheaper coal/energy. Poor environmental/climate change outcome relative to other Australian coal sources?

gangrenous

Something that also gets glossed over in most discussions regarding Australian coal mining is that Australian coal is among the highest energy and lowest pollutants of coals in the world. This means you burn less to generate more power and there's less emissions. While coal is still being burned to...

Gangers, I am attempting to discuss with you the need to rely on the Empirical evidence on the issue of Climate change. For someone like me, empirical evidence is all important. It is that evidence which should determine actions by business, Government and individuals. Oh yes, of course you’re much...

gangrenous

I don’t have time for a full response now.

So RR what empirical evidence of climate change would you accept exactly?

I agree. No way hes a million dollar player. I reckon 750k is about what he is worth. Lets not forget, he is an international center, not an international half. 750k makes him one of the highestvpaid centers which is about right. We must take a leaf out of the sharks and roosters book and let him g...

I think 8 is pretty well spot on.

Can’t understate the value he added to the Raiders defence this year. Saving tries, cleaning up kicks and escaping the in goal. It was a huge leap forward over Jack at the back.

gangrenous

I guess it's all just very inconsistent with your posting history.... Feels like the NRL abritraily applying a NOT rule that impacts the Raiders is right in your zone! Thought you might struggle since I’d barely written anything at all of my own opinion. A black and white rule would be wonderful, b...

Which one? Allen?

Sounds like you’re blowing in the wind piggles? Last week you were telling me I couldn’t ask a guy to take a haircut to win a premiership, it just doesn’t happen. This week it’s so prevalent that you feel there needs to be a precise rule on it rather than the odd event where the nrl can just step in...

Havili is better than most first string hookers we’ve had for the last 20 years. He’s an incredible backup and solid player in his own right.

gangrenous

Are they offering him a 6th of his prior contract value?

Let’s not get cute.

gangrenous

The one about contracts needing to be for a reasonable market value.

gangrenous

How can you complain about a wrong decision (which actually is probably the right decision), which then got overturned for you so there was no adverse impact?!

What planet is this guy on?

gangrenous

The rule can’t just be based on whether you announce it beforehand though. Otherwise the next Rapana is careful not to announce it to the world.

Announcing it this time has made it very obvious that moves like this should be banned, announced or not. The NRL now need a clear cut rule.

gangrenous

Announcing the intention to do it before leaving was a big mistake.

It’s the right decision from the NRL. They’re just in a bit of a predicament because yet again they appear inconsistent based on having made the wrong decisions previously.

gangrenous

A real shame he didn’t get a proper send off and a premier ring to boot.

You’ll be missed Rapana. My favourite player to watch since he debuted. [emoji22]

gangrenous

I think in the modern age of football people are underestimating the value of being an intelligent, strategic player in particular for longevity of success in decision making roles. Evolving your game so that the opposition can’t just shut down your strengths and go to moves. We’ll never know. But I...

Yes, but there’s still a couple of GH’ers who like to roll that trope out occasionally. I just like to remind them how wrong they were/are.

Be successful they said. You’ll get respect and channel nine games they said.

*Checks notes* Gold Coast 6pm Friday.

Well no one saw this coming...

gangrenous

I’d agree with most of that. Returning to the original point that we’ve drifted a long way from. You cited a reduction of 15% in Australian Electricity emissions from 2009 to now. We’ve focussed in on the carbon tax part of my response, but in a nutshell the key part is that the 15% reduction occurr...

gangrenous

I like this move. Weakens three teams at once.

gangrenous

So saving a whole bunch of words. * It cut emissions. * Families experienced a raise of $10 a week on average which you neglected to mention was compensated through changes to the personal tax system for people earning under 80k. * Anecdotally some factories closed. Anecdotally some jobs were lost. ...

gangrenous

Forced to choose. Darwin.

Storm was early in the season, the team saw the benchmark and improved to defeat that benchmark twice later in the season. The fact there was only one game they were dominated in is a huge achievement in itself.

So I’ll go Darwin as a game that should have been won.

gangrenous

Half my vote to the Eels game for botching the win. Most disappointing loss.

Half a point for the Storm game which was the only game all season where at no point did I think we would win. Worst overall performance.

gangrenous

Yeah, not a fan of round 22 myself. Obviously great, important result. Incredible effort to come home over the top. But the adversity was entirely self-created through bad decisions. By all rights the game should have been lost on those.

gangrenous

What are you thinking? Maybe like a Baleen whale or something? Built in filter already!

I think your two problems are serious issues and interrelated with climate change. A holistic approach to all of it would be best.

gangrenous

I like that there are so many to choose from [emoji4]
