I think Hudson-Young has drifted away from what made him successful and reverted to that guy that debuted - the one that looked for the big play, easy option too often. Trying to strip the ball every tackle and get away with it. The niggle, the hands in the face, on the ball, trying to be a pest. Wh...

I didn’t actually watch the press conference so only just saw this: “Usually when our bench go on, we’ve been keeping the momentum over the the start of the season. “When Joe and Papa went off tonight. I’ve got trust in those players to go on. “But (against Cronulla) we lost everything. We lost all...

Training going well mate, just laying the bricks. Did 6foot track a couple of weeks ago and found it quite easy compared to last time, and ‘accidentally’ ran a 15-20 min PB, so the plan is working. Doing UTA100 in May as a very day, not pushing hard for a time, just doing a big day with good vert a...

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. It's a nice course and pretty flat (edit - i should add that i haven't done the marathon...

Yeah, I struggled to find household income data that went back far enough. This was the best I could find on my phone this morning. From what I’ve read previously I’d expect the 80s/90s to be down in the 3-4 range, but as I say couldn’t find a good source today. Also I’ll just add that I think whil...

I think bringing Woolford into the side would see an immediate improvement in our go forward. Our clear strength as a team is our forward pack and our pack has been beaten two weeks straight. I still think Levi's service and guile is not good enough. I like the other things he brings to the side but...

They've got a good 'un in Lachlan Galvin. I'm not surprised. How would the Eels be feeling, having released him? And possibly about to release Sanders... Yes he looks good. Good coaching too, letting him play his natural game. Feels like Strange isn't getting the same amount of ball or freedom whic...

We were expecting a wild ride this year as we are rebuilding so this isn't totally unexpected for what most of us were thinking in the off season. The frustrating part is how we were unlucky to lose last week and then started quite well. It's crazy and disappointing to lose like that. I hope we don'...

Your story has not a lot to do with the differences housing market though. [emoji38] Like saying the housing market is **** doesnt invalidate your story and mean you didnt work for what you have.

It is just perplexing how some who are clearly not millennials or younger gens just outright refuse to accept the simple arithmetic staring them in the face, and prefer to drink their own delusional kool aid.

All my comments on this topic are based on the younger generation complaining that they've been priced out of the market and these same comments have been pretty consistent for the past 5 years, or more. The only way to get this demographic into the market is to lower prices or lower their expectat...

Yes, I'm not the problem with the market, as someone who is inching there way up the property ladder to provide a home for my family. The problem is that group with multiple investment properties. Fleecing renters then fleecing other Australian taxpayers with their negative gearing bs. No one said ...

Trey deserves some minutes I reckon. He's always threatening in Reggie's. Not sure what he needs to do to get a run. Hosking has been great and we missed him out there today. He has however in the last two games left some yawning gaps in his goal line defence. He is a bit of a ball watcher and can ...

Rick didn’t say the word in the press conference. Taps nearly did. They got complacent. Shocking loss. After being 18 nil up. We lost all momentum when Taps and Papali went off. Horse and Saulo were terrible. Not sure why he didn’t bring Mariota on for Papali. He should be first prop off the bench....

You’re better than this gerg. No one is saying you need to go out and sell your home at a loss. Wind back investor advantages, get rid of the ridiculous heat in a market for a human necessity. People can do their investing in something where the capital is value add. There’s still huge demand - you...

Go on and sell your own property at a loss then to a younger person. Stand up for what you truly believe in. You can call me selfish or a hypocrite all you want but nobody that owns property is selling their property for less than its worth. Nobody, not even you up on your high horse. Edit... would ...

It's a relevant question. I own my own place (partly with a bank if I'm being honest) and I've worked bloody hard to pay it off. Would I be happy to see it drop in value? Heck no. What other solution do you see to this issue other than the price of houses dropping? I used to laugh at all the moms an...

Your attitude was that of a boomer, not your age. The point is people have always sacrificed to get into housing. It’s much harder now. Telling everyone just to sacrifice harder because it’s still possible if you pretty much don’t live for years is like telling people who experience racism that the...

Genuinely curious... can anyone name me an elite edge forward in modern history who has performed consistently at his potential when playing in a bottom 4 team? Just watching today the only ones I can think of are Tariq Sims and Frizzell at a deplorable dragons. Frizzell may have played lock then t...

That short run there was brilliant. Such a good player and disappointing that he left for union, but happy to have him back.

Gerg you deadset boomer. Forego avo toast for a year and you’ll have like $1000, in that time the house you wanted went up $15k if you’re lucky. Housing as a multiple of income is significantly higher, home ownership rates are dropping, far more people require parental assistance and dual incomes t...

I'm assuming that Brailey's father was a hooker who lacked talent or wasted an opportunity and he has lived vicariously through his sons. Three of which have come through the Sharks system as hookers. Incredible if this younger one is actually related.

The discontent continues to grow with high immigration in a broken housing market. Don’t think it matters that it’s catching up COVID years. We didn’t build the infrastructure in those years either. Think this is the biggest risk to Labor re-election. I think the immigration lever is the low hangin...

NAS can't play on an edge consistently. Maybe to Warriors, but I thought they'd essentially straight swapped AFB for Hamlin Uele? Still NAS would beef up their pack even more.

How the Hell did Titans view Fogarty as their third choice half????? Dunno. He was captain in at least one game for them.

0 from 3 in tips and bets. Should know form line in the 1st 5 weeks is erratic . Cowboys way too many errors , Drinkwater had a shocker under the high ball. I had 15 from 16 the last two weeks and 0 from 3 this week. One of the great things about the competition. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Yes far too many errors for the Cowboys. They've gotten away with it against worse teams. It certainly helped the Broncos getting a penalty and two 6agains the first time they touch the ball. Would also be nice if a referee could get Carrigan to actually play the ball on the mark. He steps around th...
