Which is a polite way of saying a bit poo.

Many are they who love their local club comp and, likely, few are they who give not a bugger but miss NRC greatly. I number among the latter.

Booger me! Never knew that, despite disappearing down the player numbering rabbithole many years ago on rec.sport.rugby.union. (This was after spotting a piccie of a v. young but clearly adult Ken Catchpole wearing 7; and nah, not playing league).

I've no idea if you're correct but it's certainly a reasonable conjecture.

Yep. Ms MungoSpouse and I were both of the wtaf opinion when that happened. It seemed so obvious I half-convinced myself the fella must have caught before it touched the turf, otherwise why no knock-on signal from the touchie?

He's lagging behind Campbell, that's for sure. Cannot be relied upon to take the high ball and has an anaemic kick.

Haven't seen a replay, but at the ground it looked a genuine contest for the ball (which what I told Ms MungoSpouse when she half-shrieked 'Penalty!').

Yes, it's getting a bit silly really. Reminds me of a few years back when the appointment of a new No.10 would be quickly followed by appointments with an orthopod and / or physio.

Talk me through the recent stuff-ups by the other codes and how they dealt with it.

And this type of horseshit is why rugby will continue lag behind Strayan football and RL for the foreseeable. V.disappointing.

Valetini has been damnably good. I shall forgive him if he has a forgettable night come Saturday.

Yeah, Stan refused to play nicely during the SRA game. I gave up and switched to a Nine network channel that was showing it.

So far I've watched all the SRA games on Stan other than Reds home games - I watched at the ground - plus most SRAo games and one or two Japanese games. Yeah, the service freezes up occasionally but that's rectified easily enough and I find it easy to skip forward to kick-off if i'm not...

Anyone who remotely resembles a lock should be on the Wobs radar at present given so many Strayan locks are OS and given it's a position with a highish attrition rate.

Wilson has the look of a fella with a cat funt inside him snuggling to get out.

Ta for that! Tried again today and this time it worked fine.

Re Aus v NZ at Suncorp, 7/11: pre-sale tickets are supposedly available, I've got the email stating I supposedly can access them, but the Ticketek site is not giving me the option to actually buy them. Are all the pre-sale tickets exhausted already, or is it another stuff-up?

Well, I’m still keen on going to the Brissie game altho’ heaven knows what the ticket prices will be. At this point it isn’t even clear if there will be a ‘pre-sale’, as was to be the case, or if it will just be a mad scramble until the pattern of seats sold reaches the Covid plan’s limits.

General public (i.e. non-presale) tickets to the Suncorp doubleheader were supposed to go on sale at 11.00am 'local time' today. Not so on the Ticketek website, however.

At the Caketin, nothing would surprise. A few years back at a Mitre 10 game there were all these folk lining up to go in with mutts of all sizes and types, and none of them (people, not dogs) looked blind. Doggie Day*, as it turned out. *Not the correct name but I'm too lazy to look for the...
