You been drinking the Micheal Foley kool aid?:)

It's more an acknowledgement of the good form of the 2 Kelly. Holmes would improve the back row of most SS teams. In fact he won them the game yesterday,blocking a grubber kick & running 50-60 against the run of play. Amazingly, living without last years back row is far from the major issue down...

I thought trickle down economic theory had been debunked?

Judging by the discussion, BH will probably get you a better deduction. But his interpretations might get you is a spot of bother in the event of an audit:)

The ARU seemingly offloaded the Rebels for zero consideration if you rely on the annual report. It's common knowledge that they offloaded the Rebels for a negative consideration,which is not reflected in the accounts. Which is the issue. Again, I'm comfortable that if the ARU did not have a...

When you start making allowances for special cases,you end up bring the NRL where there are exceptions to exceptions for each rule. I seriously heard them discussing that players should be eligible to play for multiple countries at any time, cos it's better for tv!

its facile to suggest that all payments from ARU to rebels should be accounted for in the same way, ignoring the purpose of individual payments. The ARU sold the Rebels at a loss, this is not recorded in their P&L. Had the ARU sold the Rebels at a profit, I have no doubt at all, that it would...

This quality rant prompted me to quickly check his bio. I quickly scanned the bio's of the other 4 directors and ,literally laughed out loud. Who lists amongst their achievements in 30 odd years of employment, where they went to School? We have old boys from Kings,Shore & Joeys. Huge diversity ...

The franchise payments are subject to services to be provided at a later date. if the Tahs for example,did not field a team next year,clearly the ARU are not obligated to make the payment they have scheduled. I would expect these other payments are essential terms in a contract of sale. If so...

The decline in state school participation precedes Pulver by many years. I can support an argument that JON was negligent in not acting before the situation became hopeless. But the patient was dead before Pulver arrived.

the BIG question is how much is he allocating? It requires substantial funding that I'm not confident he is willing or able to allocate,to properly address the issues he has identified. Money talks,and bullshit walks.

Nope, it's not the west bit, it's just too far south. besides, my mummy taught me how to cross a rd at traffic lights. I'm not walking an extra km to use a bridge instead of a pedestrian crossing. Maybe if pollies didn't commute exclusively in limo's, they might have worked out the $38M was...

Although,that is one fucking nice bridge! Shame it(currently) starts near nothing and goes nowhere:)

This 55k stadium is a perfect example of the absurdity of politics. As it stands now, the NSW Government is proposing to spend a squillion dollars (yep, a fucking squillion!) on a stadium that NONE of their tenants support. Not one!

I assume it will be listed in current (2016) and non current (the rest)liabilities Payments will be expensed,in the year they are paid.

Hmm, I'm not so in love with your Broncos & Roosters. Undoubtedly outside backs have similar skill sets. There is zero place for League props,where are your League back rowers going to play? IMO league halves are over coached and very one dimensional.

My perception is the opposite,the more we focus on early Jnr programs, the worse we do at jnr world champs. Maybe the current programs are answering the wrong questions?

I'm quite sure that a player points audit would make quite a few clubs squirm. But in the case quoted, a player accrues 4 points for making NSW Schools, however it is then discounted by a point for each year they have played jnrs to a max 50%. Pretty sure that one is legit.

Don't take it personally Big Arse, just having a bit of fun:) At least you are putting it out there,making predictions . Much as I seem to disagree with many of them !

That's got to be the kiss of death for the hobbits! I reckon HJ could stop a train.:)
