Re: The Politics Thread 2024

I don’t give a **** about the Greens. Mainly observing that I think they had a good opportunity that they’ve totally botched.

I am disappointed that they didn’t do a better job in pulling the mainstream left.

Re: The Politics Thread 2024

I think the Greens have really screwed up their tactics this political cycle. They came through last election on a high picking up extra votes, but I don’t think that was really on the back of many people wanting them to govern. I think there was a lot of putting Labor in, but signalling they weren’...

Re: 2024 NRL Grand Final: Teams and Game Day

Can't believe people are debating this. Some of you seriously think the Bunker has sufficient evidence in this image to say no part of the ball has touched the grass? Not a single blade? His hands/fingers have completely prevented the ball from having any contact with the turf? https://imgur.com/a/...

Re: 2024 in review - Ethan Strange

I really liked what I saw from Strange. He was strong, elusive, resilient beyond his years. I think towards the end of the season his performances lost a bit from teams working him out, and probably also fatigue of a full year in FG. I’d absolutely back him to come back into the 6 in 2025 with the g...

Being pedantic - for the odds bookies are offering on winning the 2025 premiership, Raiders are the longest.

The bookies odds don’t reflect the odds of the Raiders winning.

Re: 2024 NRL Grand Final: Teams and Game Day

It’s interesting that sometimes they don’t seem to check that the ball touches the ground instead of the arm carrying it. I think it was the first panthers try was worth another look in that respect. Credit to the Panthers. 4 in a row is an amazing feat, and they haven’t done it through a bunch of b...

I don’t think that’s true sam.

Cronulla we’re ultimately put to the sword because they couldn’t capitalise on attacking opportunities. Raiders have that at 11.
