Yes, the question was whether you can be penalised for a high tackle on a team mate. You can't, unless it's deemed to fit under those other categories of misconduct.
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

To be fair. Laurie Daley couldn’t fit through the Erindale entrance either for exactly the same reason.

Laurie was trying to walk in sideways and got his big nose stuck, so it wasn’t actually an ego issue.

Brett Mullins was one raider I had difficulty liking. In fact, i never did.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Wow, so we can't even get Jacks or Mann when we are essentially offering a starting 5/8 position.

These players are going to other clubs to play ISP!?! **** is wrong with this club

It’s a real worry that players are basically picking reserve grade over a starting spine position.

Jack's would've been a starter, Mann is nothing more than a utility

Still doesn't matter. These guys would be offered an opportunity to be in the first 13, unlike the Knights and Titans where they would be considered as back-up only....

Source?

I don't think neither Mann or Jacks were offered a crack as our starting 6. Mullholland has previously come out and stated that we feel we are well covered in the halves for next year. Im honestly expecting Wighton to slot in at 6, cotric to slot in at fb and oldy to the wing.

It basically the same problem every year. No one wants to live in Canberra when you can instead live in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne.

Unless they are from the bush or are a settled family, most 20 something year olds don’t want to live in Canberra.

John Sutton is struggling to get a contract with Souths due to cap space. He won’t train till it’s sorted. I’d take him for a season as a stop gap.
