We laid 75 tackles last night and how many frees did we get for holding the ball?  Owies got one under the new interpretation but were there any others?

I believe that Port were awarded three holding the ball frees from 60 tackles.

Yep
I don't think the game was played differently at all.

I thought early on that Walsh was getting rid of the ball fairly quickly, but in the end he, Cripps and Curnow played exactly the same as they normally do.

I thought McGovern had a bit of a shocker and Georgiades played very well on him, he did cop a block from Soldo which was a free but not paid by the umpires, he seemed to be trailing behind the Port kid all the time and that goal he kicked was about his best piece of play for the evening. The umpires let a lot of stuff go and paid some real rubbish imo....Soldo continually pushed TDK well before the ball arrived in several ruck contests and got away with it as well as being conveniently clumsy and connecting with our players heads on occasions.
Had his jumper held in another

Trump's only ideology is Trump. But focusing on him is part of the spectacle, to divert your attention away from the real problems and the real power brokers. The Republicans have moved so far to the right (with Democrats closely in tow) that they have become insane. They have become so extremist that IMO, they can't actually govern : protect business, protect their version of Christianity (the most un Christian variant) and support a strong, ridiculously over resourced military.

It tells you something that the polices of Nixon and Carter, neither of whom were in any way progressive, were closer to the policies of the American Greens than they are to their own respective parties.

Please please Lord, banish Sons of this Satan.



Putrid followers who decorate themselves in blood and blackened faeces, spawn of the damned, for they are the children of evil, false gods, D-Grade Satans, sons of perdition, little whores, who bring only darkness, hatred, loathing and largely unjustified fear to those around them as they are nought but bullies.



Bring us the bright white light, a light ablaze on a heavenly deep blue, so that we may see our way clear to everlasting joy and happiness.



In this we pray.

I can’t really get a handle on Aurangzeb’s religious beliefs.  He lets the holy rollers lay their hands on him while flogging dodgy bibles in an effort to make some much needed cash.

Many of his supporters are convinced that he will lead a  Christian revival and expel the unbelievers from positions of power if not the country.  I watched an interview with several MAGA supporters who were gobsmacked and/or disbelieving when told that his children follow the Jewish religion 🤣

Looked like he went in low (good) but was second in and a little bit indiscriminate (bad) for mind, kind of like Dangerflog.  It's the pattern of behaviour I don't like....a lot of "oops sorry clumsiness" but that doesn't hold water when people get hurt.

I thought McG got a lot of treatment last night...marginally late physicality and was constantly held.  I wonder if they considered him a bit "fragile" - there was an awful lot of feeling in his goal celebration (it was a stunner to be said).

It's not going to end well, the cost to the USA will be high, socially and economically.

I've always thought Trump is the type who is prepared to burn down his own house rather than admit wrong doing, and that opinion is only stronger now.

No matter what you think of the US Political and Judicial process, it can't be denied that Trump is fundamentally a horrible horrible human.

No matter what his supporters think, Trump will never be found in the front row of the protest, he'll be hiding safely in the back row at a distance, throwing stones and collecting as many of his own supporters as he does opponents.
