Yes, you are right in that (as you pointed out earlier in the thread) *we* tend to let thru our mental filters what we agree with, and react only to what we don't agree with. As that is true, I can also see how it would be a bit negative from your POV. So apologies if I came down a bit hard on...

should that not be 'AND'?

thankyou for taking the time to show us. Of course we know 'what in', money paid for the top dollar player. It is clear from the article that what is being discussed is 'how much is payed to the top guys'. Do you disagree that the top league dollars are falling behind the top rugby dollars...

exacatactly mxy. It was supposed to be an example of putting the boot in. I ask where is that example?

I am beginning to think half the problems in this thread with your arguments stem from your inability to duplicate and comprehend what is written in front of you. HOW is this putting the boot into league? In an ironic and funny way perhaps you are correct, it was unsuccessful, but not in the...

you'd think so, well i mean I assumed as much, but it's six of one and half a dozen really. Fly em' free (at nominal normal rates, even tho it is cheaper for you) and less up front sponsorship money, charge them as you would anyone else yet pay more for the sponsorship. They probably win doing...

I have checked a few dictionaries, none that I looked at has a definition of 'trespassed' anywhere near what you have written. I fully understand that she has been made aware of certain restrictions on her future actions, and that explanation is welcome - thanks, I was merely noting what...

Well thank god for that! How could you get the image out of your eyes if it turned out 'she was a male'? (and just wtf does 'and she has been trespassed from the ground' even mean? And to say it twice)

League?

am I the only one worried that the wallabies will be their first scalp?

Quite a good idea. I suggested a completely left field idea just like this for Super Rugby and wondered how it would go (stupid idea in that context) but I think this is a perfect idea in this context. Market the hell out of it beforehand of course. See, something like that gives a reason to drive to...

Ok, jumping out the window as I tyyyppppeeee

oi!

Surely, in NZ, "Any boss who sacks a worker for that is a bum"? (apologies to hawke)

there ya go hughjarse

thanks guys. As I said, it became an interesting intellectual exercise once you get into it. A point I meant to make but forgot, when you get down to it you almost invariably find that these league guys make their argument against rugby based an a low scoring international match, then contrast...

man, this post is going to be harder to compose than I envisaged. First off, the 'wallabies player rankings' bar obscures quite a bit of the text when you quote a post. Is there a forum fix for that bug? Is it known about? Not having multi quote makes it a bit tougher too, but hey enough...

thanks sully, I remember reading it before. Would you believe me that I did not consciously borrow from you when I remarked on the stoppage element haha. (of course not, it is painfully obvious to anyone who follows rugby that league is just continuous stop and start) What DID catch my eye...

yes, I think subconsciously I came to the conclusion that the metric to be used was just that, but since doing my exercise last night I think i have refined it more. I asked rhetorically regarding the speed of the game 'in any case, how would you measure it?'. Thanks to watching the games and...

for sure wo, and i agree completely that it can devolve to 'point scoring' (haha, geddit?) against the other bloke. However, at least as I envisaged it, it was simply a tool that could be used to counter an argument such as, for example, 'enjoy your goal kicking contest' (implying few tries)...
