McHunt is the one posting homophobic shit, and I never have a crack at him over anything. *shrug*

Sorry but it would depend on how humorous the picture is. I have no problems with mchunt’s posts.

I don't give a hoot about the argument, but do you see the irony in the bloke getting annoyed about the post calling another snowflake. I had a chuckle.

I've been a very naughty boy. You might need to spank me.

It's the off-season. My theory is that the deeper we get into the off-season the crankier and more intolerant we become. The pall begins to lift about the rthird week of january. Oh, and get fucked by the way.

Changing subject...
There was an article about the panfers and how battled on with their injury toll to win the premiership.... something I really loved reading was "Kurt Capewell’s knee blew up like a balloon every week but he never complained". To me, it was so obvious he was playing injured the last 6-7 weeks. His hit ups dropped dramatically but not once did he miss the one percenters. The article also gave me an increased appreciation for Edwards though. I'd happily take him at broncos for the right price if cobbo prefers centre and niu doesn't lift by 9 or 10 games in.
Something our team has lacked massively is not so much our attitude when things are going our way, it's when they go against us. The players we have recruited, nearly all of them, have a track record of performing DEPSITE adversity. Injuries will happen to every team and half a team will be playing with niggles by finals time. That's the nrl, that's what these young guys haven't figured out yet...

Doesn’t do it for me but beach volleyball and pole vault can be pretty good watching.

Gymnastics is usually an avoid since basically any age can compete and it's virtually impossible to tell sometimes.. often they're bigger than your average male

Speaking of Scottish sports, here's a champion Aussie who's unknown at home. Watched this live. You can't tell but it was pissing down at the time, impressed he kept his grip:

Anyone showing symptoms told to stay home on New Year's Eve as Queensland records 3,118 new COVID cases
Queensland records 3,118 new COVID-19 cases with one fully vaccinated man in his 50s in a stable condition in an intensive care unit, Chief Health Officer John Gerrard says.
www.abc.net.au
This thread might need to be revisited going forward. Omicron is everywhere now. I fully expect to see 60,000+ cases nationwide at some point in January. It might be less deadly than the other variants, but that won't stop the shitheels in the media crawling up the NRL's ass if they try and push forward with the season in light of this newest outbreak. Anything for a cheap headline these days.

Oh I think we'll see that in the next week or so, but hopefully the infections will peak towards the end of January, and the hospitals will be getting back to normal in February. NRL good to go in March.

Wishful thinking, but not unrealistic.

Not unrealistic at all, the pandemic phase could potentially be over by then also. Once the statistical reporting moves to ICU admits over cases the media will lose interest. Omnicron could be the best Christams present nature ever dished out to us. An endemic virus that is more contagious, less virulent and has been shown to have cross protection post infection for other strains. It's quite staggering how quickly it has displaced Delta.
The NRL will be a go I believe and doubtful there will be much in the way of impact on games ect going forward. Apart from vaccination being a requirement to enter games for a while at least.
