Re: The Politics Thread 2025

Thing is that those practices being unwound are addressing jobs being given based on nepotism and skin colour in the first place. It’s laughable to look at Trump’s cabinet and ...

The Politics Thread 2025

I don’t think anyone would have an issue with this if it was actually done correctly, hiring a partisan tech bro who bought the election and has massive conflicts of interest and his band of young hackers is not ...

Re: 2025 Round 4 v Cowboys: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

Tapine is a big in for sure but we've now gone too big and slow in the pack imo which doesn't suit our style of play this year. Won't be surprised if we get beaten in the ruck again for being too slow. We're starting 3 bigger bodies for the first 20-25 mins which works well when you've got some sma...

Re: Through green eyes 2025

It looked like what you might expect if a beloved team like the Broncos had whinged to the refs boss after being embarassingly beaten by a team that are supposed to just get out of the way and ideally take the spoon.

Re: 2025 Round 3 v Sea Eagles: Game Day

I think that the Raiders did themselves no favours by not adjusting to how the game was being refereed (and by having feet for hands). When the referee has clearly come with a bone to pick, you don’t keep doing it and asking for it. Play clean for a few minutes and wrestle momentum back. I don’t thi...

Re: 2025 Round 3 v Sea Eagles: Game Day

I see there was an article about the NRL having gone lighter on the hip drop incidents from the first few rounds. Suppose that means this week’s disproportionate Raiders sin bin and suspension will be a hip drop.

2025 NRL Round 3: Teams and Game Day

No it’s not mandatory for a hip drop to land on the legs based on their prior rulings. Landing on the player was an indicator but not necessary (see Whitehead et. al. 2024 where he landed on someone else instead).

Both sides of the argument have merit: * Fatigue absolutely can still be a contributor to bone injuries if your response time or positioning is affected by it. * Many bone injuries would happen regardless and are purely luck.
