Re: The Politics Thread 2024

It doesn't matter what you do these days there is always a group of people unhappy and complaining. Either woke or right wingers. They're essentially the same thing at opposite ends of the spectrum and the world would be better off without either of them.

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on signing a second-row target Luciano Leilua

Fox Sports article on Leilua says Dragons offered Kulikefu Finefeuiaki $600K a year for 2025. Surely we can trump that and even go higher to make it too hard for the Cowboys to keep him? I understand the risk involved in going that hard for such a young player but he's the type who fits our timelin...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium

I didn't say that at all. I said the LRS wasn't designed to move large crowds in short periods of time. It's a commuter backbone service that also gets buses off the roads in peak commuter periods to improve traffic efficiency. In what normal situation do we need to move 10-20,000 people to all par...

It's an awful comment, but it looked like Sanders was trying too hard... but he kept at it without dropping his head, and playing most of the game behind a beaten pack doesn't help - aside from the first ten minutes and also the ten when Martin was binned where they got a bit of a roll on.

We're not moving them in and out in a 30-60 minute period. People will park in a range of places over the city and walk over.

That's rubbish. Player moves a metre sideways off the mark to play it and Starling has to over commit to put pressure on the kicker. Call him back to the mark if you're going to be this picky.

Converting an AFL ground to a rectangle ground. Wishful thinking with Mr Barr in charge. Or do you mean the Philip grounds opposite the hospital. I was raising woden as an option a year or two back, I think it's a better option than Bruce or EPIC.
