Australian Rugby / RA

[Uh huh]

The bankers did such a great job of running rugby, we should definitely hand control of it to a slightly different shade of rapacious capitalist egomaniac. What could possibly go wrong?

the north remembers.

I think it's probably fair to say that if Australia was Westeros, Queensland would be Dorne, NSW would be the Targaryeans, Victoria the Lannisters, Western Australia the North, South Australia the River Lands, Tassie the Iron Islands, NT the Vale and the ACT would be the Fingers.

I'm bored.

Big ups to Aussie board for getting this new IRANZ (or aussie version of course) academy going, it's a Murray Mexted academy that has had real good results in NZ, the Aussie one will just use former wallabies etc, know a player to went to the NZ one a few years back and very very impressed. Only good things come from these things

I thought about reporting your post for excessive optimism, but I decided to like it instead.

Actually pretty good!

It's so much easier if you just do The Expanse, where:

New South Wales is the UN/Earth;
Queensland is Mars;
Everyone else is the Belters; and
Cameron Clyne is Sadavir Errinwright.

Yeah, I'm bored too.

That has to be the most accurate way I've ever seen it described.

Surely this would be more appropriate for GRR.

One can only hope.

Best part of this analogy is that Twiggy becomes Fred Johnson.

Twiggy is 100% Jules-Pierre Mao.

Really? Not a fan of Chrisjen Avasarala?

A villian?

I have no idea what you are talking about, but I love what you are bringing to the table.

So the Expanse is a tv show, worth watching?

Love Chrisjen. But if WA's part of the Belt, Twiggy can only be an OPA guy.

Absolutely. I've heard of it described as being like Game of Thrones in space. Conspiracies, political intrigue, space battles and a terrifying form of alien life that frankly makes the White Walkers look like the mummies in an Abbott & Costello movie.

 

[Uh huh]

I would argue that it's a lot more sophisticated than Game of Thrones. It's the Cold War in space, with honest depictions of the kind of future our current society is capable of creating; grossly unequal, unjust, and still built around exploitation by the obscenely wealthy, under the veil of patriotism and service.
