Yeah doubt I’m up to it either … maybe back in the day 😛

ANALYSIS: Cronulla kick clear to seal home final after horror Kris tackle spears Raiders' chances

Sure but “BigGordon” on a ballot would attract interest in sure, Jacqui Lambie for starters 😁

333 is indeed a lucky number

Hard to see a shred of sense in anything you said.

NRL Week 1 finals match-ups: Playoff fixtures LOCKED IN

predict ??!!

Have you not been paying attention, mushi? They knew the results, the refs and bunker fix this comp every year 😡

I’d like to have a word with those repsonsible for the draw in a hotel car park late at night.

😂

Grow up, nitwit.

How about “I don’t think Minor Premiership means what you think it means”?

Lack of care factor over NRL minor premiership is embarrassing but almost impossible to solve perennial problem

Good post GB (and BTW and FWIW you’re a quality contributor to this site 👍)

‘What the f--- was that?’ Teammates shocked over wrestling punishment but Gus backs Ciraldo’s hardline approach

It used to be called “road sweeper”.

Although we may introduce it for young offenders in Qld …

I think that’s Murray’s point: there’s a lot of talk about raiding NRL but it never seems to happen …

RWC News: 'What a statement' - Goldie lashed for 'arrogance', Cam Murray 'annoyed' by hollow flirting

Oh no, too stressful for me, I lasted about 3 eps. Guess I’m just soft 😂

NRL week 27 preview talking points: Although we've come to the end of the road… still, I can't let go

Yeah it has uncomfortable vibe, difficult to imagine a good case for it (but of course I’m no coach …)

NRL News: Ciraldo not sorry over wrestling punishment, Hodgson quits, Raider blasts 'outrageous' fines

Could this become a new defence, eg “bold contact with the head”?

Eddie Jones has broken every World Cup convention - it's a high-risk strategy no-one knows will work

KB, actually I expressed that a little inaccurately. Sydney Swans worked as a relocation from South Melbourne, in the sense that the Swans have been a successful club.
.
But I’m not sure the “relocation” element of that had much to do with the success. The success seems to flow mostly from what’s done after the relocation.
.
If a club relocated a short distance away so that it retained a lot of players and fans, then it would be made a lot easier. But if it’s a short distance, why would they succeed there if they did t succeed in the original location just down the road?

Bennett in high demand as multiple NRL expansion clubs line up to offer him inaugural coaching job

You’re right that those types of comments are not uncommon.

As far as I can see, it’s a congregation of a few things. Firstly the racism element. Secondly that it’s Churchill’s son saying it, and he will present the Clive Churchill medal at the GF (probably not now). Thirdly that it’s part of a public pile-on on Mitchell that has gone on too long.

Churchill's Latrell apology too little, too late with Rabbitohs' season imploding amid ongoing off-field dramas

Not sure what you’re asking LP – my views on the text or my understanding of why others are reacting to it?

Yes absolutely you go for the guy with the proven record who doesn’t mince words.and still there is no evidence he’s past it. Indeed he’s still ahead of pretty much every coach.

I get the relocation idea but (a) as much as possible don’t mess with the authenticity the comp still has with the older clubs and (b) not convinced relocation / amalgamation works in practice.

No one has said he’s exempt from criticism. It’s about the particular substance of the remarks and the context.

Wilson also says this shouldn’t have even been a yellow card for going off his feet .

Yes, it was reckless. But …

Reckless is ok, then?

Since my message above I’ve seen a more informative report.

Yeah that text is as good as “public”.

Round 27 Team Lists Late Mail: Manu hamstrung, long list of stars resting, Papa's year over, Ponga races clock for finals

Didn’t he say something “publicly” when he sent that message?

If he sent it to the club or (say) the club president, then arguably yes. Depends very much on the context, I reckon.
