Re: Health and fitness
Well done mate. I've got Canberra Marathon this weekend. A bit nervous, I've only done one marathon and that was 10 years ago. Expecting it to hurt in a different way to the monster trail races I've been doing.

Re: The Politics Thread 2024
Z, I don’t think anyone apart from maybe Max Chandler Mathers from the Greens is suggesting that it isn’t a supply issue as well as a demand issue. The real bone of contention IMO is the delusional “smashed avo” paradigm which must be called out because it simply isn’t grounded in reality. Well Max...

Re: 2024 Round 4 v Sharks: Game Day
Relax. Several players put in their worst performance in living memory. We showed what we can do in the 12 minutes that we held onto the ball and put 18 on them. We're going to have an up and down year, won't be there on grand final day, bit we are a much better team than what played yesterday.
