I volunteer for a group that does a lot of community work, especially for the disadvantaged, and that group always includes many people with mental health problems. The most common mental health issue is depression, and to help people overcome their depression we encourage them to get out and about...

I don’t have a grand to spend on the full report, but I found this one from last year comparing Raiders and Roosters supporters. This seems to confirm that being a ‘supporter’ is based on self-identification. So yes, very loose and capturing lots of bandwagoners/people who feel the need to pretend t...

The only person who has mentioned rape is you. raiderskater said sexual assault. I know you know they’re not the same thing. Um, actually they totally are the same thing. Sexual assault is the legal term for rape. Rape is the colloquial term. You rape someone, you get charged with sexual assault. S...

He has to be kidding, right? The whole country's seen the video now. It's patently obvious that NSW Police escalated and kept escalating. But then this is also the guy who thinks sexually assaulting minors at music festivals is acceptable and wants the public to "fear" NSW Police, so... Y...

No they're not. They're seriously objectionable.

100%. At this point a Roosters three-peat is a more enjoyable prospect than this Penrith team winning a comp.

I have some experience with matters of police misbehaviour (seeing, not doing :) ) and even I am stunned at how appalling this is. Maybe my surprise comes from the fact that the vision is so damning and now so very public. It’s mindboggling that police thought pursuing these charges was a good idea,...

Gee I shudder every time I see Ashley Klein appointed to our games. Lot of talk about how hard it was to get momentum and the line speed of Souths. They were offside all night - both standing several metres offside and also jumping the play the ball very quickly and Klein just ignored it. Same agai...

Terrible news for Guler. And us. Hard to see how we’re not stuffed for the season with all these injuries. I notice media reports about Fonua-Blake this morning saying he’s set to miss what would be his return game against the Cowboys in Townsville because he hasn’t had his flu shot (although his ba...

Largely then I think the government should move on. Makes you wonder though about the specific wording of the plan. Going back to my first post on this, you would think people refusing vaccinations on purely religious or cultural grounds would not be so bothered about signing a waiver that says not ...

Smurfette

The plan submitted to governments always included a waiver... didn't it? That's what I read anyway. That’s what I thought. The media reporting this morning suggests otherwise, but I don’t know how accurate it is. https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6749822/not-a-good-look-qld-tells-nrl-on-flu-ja...

Seeing as the NRL has just opened the door for these blokes it would be really interesting to see what would happen if the NSW and Australian government responded with a 'no jab no play', tougher stance.

Their body, their choice. Cannot force them and the NRL will be hard up trying to ban them without severe legal ramifications. That's what I was thinking as well Unless it's explicitly in their contracts or their agreement, how is it enforceable? Also Cartwright posted on twitter that players sign ...

If we can get 20 weeks in (including the 2 before the suspension) I think that will be a pretty good result - and hopefully crowds can come back at some point. I hope so to Azza, but I just can't see crowds back at all this year. I think the Tassie and Singapore experience has freaked a few people ...

So excited about this, and think PV has done an amazing job. His comments this morning on Today were spot on — there are a lot of people still operating on fear that is frankly unfounded at this point. Yes, we must all continue to take precautions and this will be the new normal for many months to c...

Cat, we clearly have different views about our government’s interest in locking people in our country, and the NZ Government’s interest in not letting their own citizens come home. No point going on here.

It is an entirely reasonable ask, given the massive implications for the code, the clubs... and the players.

If one’s virtues are inclusivity, signal away. I think the NRL has taken a lot of concrete, positive steps in this area and has every right to feature it in it’s ad campaign.

Smurfette

Wighton’s been as involved as we’d want him to be. Some strong runs, some strong tackles and a good kick off a scrum that probably would’ve been a try but for the professional foul.

Also one kick out on the full, so everything normal there (the idea was right though, just tough to execute the 20-40).
