    More news coming!!!

    Thanks mate, but my wife's the master and I'm the mere pupil following her lead. The grieving's largely been done as bits of him, in terms of memories and abilities, have progressively slipped away, big chunks at a time. We've surrendered to what is uncontrollable and inevitable, but he's not...

    He played at the highest level, and then one bad leg break and it was Jharal Ciao Yeh

    More news coming!!!

    And he's so certain of his versions of reality and I've begun preferring his to mine. He's in a really happy stage of dementia now. He's accepted the confusion and it no longer worries him. The final stage seems to be approaching fast as he sleeps more and more of the day. But when he's alert...

    Suaia Matagi

    Maybe until the Matai and possibly Snake situations are resolved we have difficulty committing to what we would choose? If so, could understand Matagi getting cold feet.

    The loss of contact with reality and emotional regulation is why setting up Enduring Guardian and Power of Attorney documents early on, while they are still lucid, is so helpful.

    More news coming!!!

    Spot on Nicci A couple of months ago my 90 year old FIL talked in detail about his injuries (sustained from being pushed over by another dementia resident) and how he got them that week training with the Olympic athletes. And his outrage at needing to fill in on their soccer team because...

    No surprise at all there. It IS just the disease Mark. And not something she had any conscious control over. In some ways dementia seems like a progressive return to earlier and earlier childhood. We think babies are sooo cute, even when they don't know who we are, but have difficulty getting...

    More news coming!!!

    Like @MANLY4LIFE my father in law is going through it now. Last December he was 100% independent, lucid and fine. Then on Christmas day he started "wandering". Now he is pretty much 100% dependent, and sometimes he can't even remember how to uncross his legs without reminders. And the prefrontal...

    Sironen a done deal...Matagi gone?

    So if we get those three or similar (eg DWZ) Mark, what's your prediction for where we finish?

    NSW enforcer Klemmer wowed by Meninga

    Interesting comments about Marty's silky soccer skills. Maybe some training extras for him in goal kicking and attacking kicks?

    @ training today

    Extract re his suicide attempts and depression: Locke says dealing with his father's death, the pressures of the sport, the public scrutiny, and negative comments on social media, led him down a dark hole. "Reading what everyone was saying about me on social media was tough. People are...

    NRL Being Left Behind In Expansion Of Australian Sport

    If the goal is to grow the game, then some really hard decisions need to be made over the years to come. 1. Maybe as few as four Sydney teams, two Brisbane, and coverage across the continent and NZ. The different time zones suit different TV schedules and gives the competition gravitas. 2...

    Manly need a centre.

    On the field Scott gave his best for the team. Your grievance is with Bob, isn't it? And the story goes that, off the field, Scott was the link that brought his teacher to the Sea Eagles, one Desmond Hasler.

    Mobility

    Um, wasn't Parcell the starting hooker before he got injured? What makes you think Api has now jumped to number 1 in the number 9? If you're at all concerned about covering lack of mobility with 5 props in the pack, then Parcell is clearly the man to cover that concern. Api doesn't come within...

    Tough season hard to take for Manly

    Api's tries and assists were essentially in the halves, not hooker. Only really relevant if we're comparing him to DCE and Green, not Parcell.
