We had to hide him up forward because his efforts playing in defence were substandard and the club didn't have the stones to drop a big contract player at the time.
By that logic we derive the MC was happy to then deliberately weaken the F50 pushing more hurt onto the already injured Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay, etc., etc..

Seems a tad rubbery.

Aurangzeb has just given a press conference during which he appeared to use talking points provided by the Kremlin including blaming Ukraine for starting the war  ::)

If you elect a clown, you get a circus ... but that's little comfort to Ukraine.

Clive Palmer has started a new party

"Trumpet of Patriots."  (Trump-et)  ;)  :D
Slogan-"Make Australia Great Again"

Numerous references to the situation in America.
Praise for Trump and Musk.
Government waste. Immigration, Transgender issues on the agenda.

Hopefully it gets the support it deserves. ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)

(Edit- apparently the group has been around a while. Palmer's just taken the reins)

Yep it's amazing how it's been played down and treated as a minor indiscretion almost which given his history of offences just shows how insipid and corrupt the game of professional Tennis is imo.

Not just Tennis EB.

Our own comp makes decisions at times that leaves many scratching their head.


Shawny, no doubt we have the professional discount for elite players like a lot of other pro sports.

Suspended but will be back just in time for the French open. How fortunate.

Australian tennis player-turned-commentator Rennae Stubbs has made the shock declaration she thinks Jannik Sinner is "guaranteed" to cop a ban when he fronts the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in April. Sinner won his second Australian Open and third grand slam title last week, but his immediate future in the sport is under a cloud.

The World No.1 will face a CAS hearing and could be facing a maximum two-year ban after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed a decision by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to clear him. Sinner twice tested positive to banned steroid Clostebol last March, but the ITIA allowed him to keep playing after he claimed he was inadvertently contaminated by his physio.

I dont watch Tennis but its interesting to me how Sinner has escaped punishment and sold the old contaminated by another story and got away with it but that rarely works in other sports and id pose the question that if he was ranked 150 in the world instead of No 1 would he have been suspended/banned?
Djokovic has copped plenty of heat for withdrawing but the aptly named Sinner who has been caught twice for steroid use gets away with zero heat coming his way...

Suspended but will be back just in time for the French open. How fortunate.
