    Soldier died 'doing what he loved'

    Soldier died 'doing what he loved' I think some people are mixing up Afghanistan with Iraq. He was killed in Afghanistan, not Iraq and both the Libs and ALP support Australia's continued military involvement in Afghanistan. http://www.alp.org.au/media/0907/msfahs020.php

    That Matai kickoff

    They got it right. http://www.nswrl.com.au/files/rules/international_rules.pdf Page 20 Section 8 - Kick Off and Drop-Out Rule 6(b) says a player is penalised if he kicks the ball on the full over the touch line, touch in goal, or over the dead ball line. The explanatory note to...

    Jack Martin

    The Club wanted to do a minutes silence just before kick off, but were prevented from doing so because of NRL rules, particularly as it was a live TV game. Apparently you need to get NRL approval early in the week - a bit unrealistic on the NRL's part in the case of a sudden passing! The...

    Professionalism (not)

    I can't find 10 differences between the original media release and your re-post of it. Sure, you picked up the missing 'e' in 'elswhere' and added a space after quotes (twice) and after fullstops (three times). You also changed the correctly spelt "fulfil" to the variant spelling "fulfill".

    Let's talk about something other than June 30

    Let's talk about something other than June 30 Maybe if the Roosters had to kick off after scoring each try, they would not have had all the momentum and run up a 24 point lead. Maybe if the Broncos had to kick off to us a few times during that first half at Suncorp this year, we might...

    Let's talk about something other than June 30

    Let's talk about something other than June 30 1. For those who weren't quite sure what I was on about with this one - McIlwain's try today off Monaghan was the perfect example. Monaghan's pass was knocked down because he had his hand out to block the pass as he came in to make the tackle...

    Let's talk about something other than June 30

    Let's talk about something other than June 30 It would probably be unfair to judge the Scoring Team kicking off rule by what happened in Super League because the whole way they played the game (ie quick play the balls like touch) meant Super League bore little resemblance to RL today...

    Let's talk about something other than June 30

    Let's talk about something other than June 30 I'm sick of reading about June 30 and player movements. All this off-field action is boring and in just about every case, posters (and journos) have NFI. Let's talk about something we are all experts on - the rules. I'm not looking for...

    Tough trivia

    Indeed. I was looking at the team line up and didnt even notice him at Centre....... So Sigsworth makes 9 and to think that surely one of Kerry Boustead or Choppy Close would have been a better winger for Qld than Steve Stacey ! Was Boustead injured that year ? He didnt play in any of...
