    Are you really a Westie club? Discuss

    It’s one of the few reasons it’s a shame the Bears went under. I went to high school in Baulkham Hills during the 90s and there were more Norths supporters (and a few boys from school in their junior reps) than Parra around then. The demographic has really gone downhill since I left...

    The send off's .. and tackle technique ..

    What’s interesting, though, is how rarely those types of accidental hip/head clashes happen to guys like Jake - you hear commentators often say ‘he got his head in the wrong position there’ i.e. flawed tackling technique - but the players recognised for their good low tackling technique (Beaver...

    The send off's .. and tackle technique ..

    Good point. Dabbling in women’s RL 15-20 years ago, we were being trained to tackle around the hips, ‘cheek to cheek’ to protect your own head. Same way my brothers learned to tackle in u/6s a decade before that. The players with proper old-school tackling technique (Jake obviously a prime...

    Away bays vs Parra

    Haha, I’m at work - can’t sleep on the job here unfortunately!

    Away bays vs Parra

    Not every club does - I remember always getting fairly decent seats in the away bays at the old SFS - basically the same as the home supporters, on the opposite side of the halfway line. But Parramatta are serial offenders - we got stung one year after they’d done one of their endless...

    Jack de Belin court case

    I’m sorry to hear that Bearfax; obviously everyone has different thresholds for what they accept, and if it works for you to remain friends with your ex-wife who can argue with that? My ex, on the other hand, is an absolute grub, pathetic excuse for a human being, and every other epithet my...

    Jack de Belin court case

    Yes, it 100% does. And I’m speaking as someone who’s been on the receiving end. There are plenty of people around who are happy with various non-monogamous arrangements - if you want the same, go find someone like-minded. Don’t get into a monogamous arrangement and make a mockery of it and the...

    Ex Manly player Horo drug bust

    No way! If it’s decent gear it’s blasphemy to use the $5!

    Ex Manly player Horo drug bust

    Yeah, was going to say he was a Penrith junior originally - we’ve got an old match day program at home from when my brother’s team played a junior GF in the Penrith comp, Horo was on one of the teams playing that day.

    Concussion. One word that could change our game forever?

    I agree with the ‘false sense of security’ thing, it happens in martial arts too - plus it reduces your peripheral vision and ability to dodge/duck a fist or foot coming at you, especially from the side. Personally hate headgear and have only ever worn it when forced to, if it’s optional I...

    Concussion. One word that could change our game forever?

    It’s not uncommon for parents to do that - every martial arts competition entry form I’ve ever filled out has had a space for parents to sign the waiver if the competitor is under 18. Common practice for recreational activities like go-karting, indoor skydiving, rock climbing, trampolining etc...

    New Super Store

    Gotta be honest, the whole Dynasty range was pretty disappointing in comparison to previous years/suppliers. Not much for women, and not much variety.

    Jack de Belin court case

    No, the fact that they are allowed to continue to train makes it a ‘restricted duties’ situation rather than an actual suspension/stand down. And you are incorrect about other industries or organisations only applying that kind of rule if it directly impacts the workplace/ duties of the job...

    Jack de Belin court case

    He may well be innocent - or found to be not guilty. Which isn’t always the same thing, and which is why I don’t see any swim school wanting to take the risk of employing him in future if that is indeed the outcome. But you entirely missed the point - whether Daniels is guilty or not has also...

    Jack de Belin court case

    I’ll give you one. That kind of entirely confected case is very, very unlikely to happen. In the rare event that it does, there are some avenues for financial compensation (some of which Stewart took), and there should be more. There should also be much, much bigger consequences for anyone...

    Jack de Belin court case

    Sure, innocent until proven guilty under the law - but there are plenty of other employers who would, and do, stand down employees until there’s a verdict on charges like this (and lots of other types of charges that make potential interaction with the public, kids, even colleagues, a tricky...

    Jack de Belin court case

    I’m actually a little bit surprised that wasn’t considered in the first place. Sure, there are Dragons fans in Sydney - but it’s not an ‘overwhelming, rabid majority’ situation like it is in the Illawarra. I work with several younger, female dragons fans whose opinions about this case were...

    That would be a win for all concerned, I reckon.

    Jack de Belin court case

    I haven’t seen anything about what Sinclair had to say during the act, but it certainly sounds like JDB liked the cut of Callan’s jib!
