    Backs on the Wall

    Parker brings a lot to the team in ways that go beyond attacking talent. In saying that though, we are probably one great centre, a creative half-back, and a rampaging front rower away from being a dominant side. The boys have shown they can carry DCE and we have good prospects in the forwards...

    I didn't know about the new lockdown. I know they've had a couple of recent outbreaks in the north and they are building new isolation camps but Xi also has problems with the internal security apparatus so it might suit him to have them tied up with Covid measures. The politics in the PRC are...

    If you don't do it as a reply I don't get a notification. Get with the program. No such thing as a master race or a master species. There's either optimally adapted for the environment or suboptimally adapted for the environment. Environments change - often by the actions of organisms- and...

    Even a humble toadstool carries genes - though only about a 5th of the number of genes that a human carries. A water flea, though, has several thousand more genes than a human. By logical extension Water Fleas are the master race. I for one welcome out soggy overlords. I would recommend the...

    No, I'm not offended and I hope my comments don't offend you or anybody else. I enjoy the banter on this site. You have to be careful what you say to people these days. Some people seem to take delight in taking offence. By the way - I have considered the possibility that I'm God. There...

    You're right about the fundamental nature of humans (and other organisms) being self interest but humans - possibly through social conditioning - also have a remarkable capacity for altruism and self sacrifice. If I die of Covid I'm not going to be happy about it but it wouldn't be...

    All structured societies give the hope of stability and prosperity even if they lack the substance. It's a trait of humans and other living creatures to concern themselves with the society in which they live (and importantly breed) to the exclusion of others. That second is really and...

    Your confusing me with a Qanon luny when I'm really just a garden variety luny. Personal liberty is just a tiny part of what I'm blathering about. Remember that millions of people who died in WW2 were fighting for national socialism or for communism. Social systems that traditionally don't...

    There's a new professional political class who no longer represent their constituents they rule them. It all started with the development of the party political system which circumvented democracy and put the country into the hands of just a few individuals. Those individuals passed the power...

    Let's see if I can get some steam coming out of your ears. Yes I am beating a drum and I rather hope there's someone out there who will appreciate and think about the rhythm. I don't care about Covid deaths. The disease simply doesn't kill enough people to have a significant impact on society...

    DCE 2 more years and coaching gig

    Some people argue that if we loose Chez we need to replace him with another elite half back. We're not trying to replace Andrew Johns or Cooper Cronk. Chez's contribution to the team is, largely, to boot the ball hard down the middle of the field to the opposition fullback; defend well (when...

    DCE 2 more years and coaching gig

    Beautifully said. You've elaborated pretty well the concerns that many of us have about DCE and his role in the team. I've also looked at our great halves of the past and come to the same conclusion: that Manly teams have rarely relied on organising halves. So why are we paying so much money...

    I don't have that data but I've seen a few similar news reports. I'm suspicious of all claims that come out of those areas. Veracity always seems to take a back seat to politics and propaganda. I can only work on data from Australia and to a lesser degree America, England and Western Europe...

    No, Covid deaths appear to be well documented. If you listen to the case details given in the daily briefings a number of people have been found to be Covid positive after dying of other causes. They still get counted as Covid deaths. The government has gone over to referring to "deaths with...

    Aluminium. A lot of Chinese power plants are geared up to burn Australian coal and they can't use Chinese domestic coal. Hence the rolling blackouts in China and reduced Aluminium production. Hence the Chinese government plans to build new coal powered stations and demands for increased...
