Ah... honour. That's a thing init?

Perhaps I'll try squint...

Huh? Like, there was no evidence? That kind of low bar! One wonders how politicised the state courts are. But I confess to being a bit jaundiced about Aussie sport and politics... So I may be a bit one eyed.

Hmmm... you obviously posted a day too early to be free of the effects.

Helix. Not a spiral.

This is true. Unless Wakey can print money (or Carter smuggle in blood diamonds up his backside) then no stadium can be built without investment. And generally investment has to be paid for out of the profit from that investment. I really have not followed the details, but can Trinity pay back the loans? (having said that, we are just looking at rebuilding 1 stand at the end of the day)

Sounds a bit like the last 4 years of Leeds Rhinos. But their fans might be better to comment.

If you feel Annette Bening is impressive then look up The Grifters.

If you like westerns then Open Range is good. Last 5 minutes were a bit languid, but a good recently made western in the Jimmy Stewart /Anthony Mann mould.

Casino Royal was intended to reboot the series and i thought it did a job of it. But subsequently it became clear that they ran out of ideas. And very quickly. As a similar vein, Star Wars was a huge and fresh invention, and not on a silly budget. It had charm. Amazingly the sequal was just as good - untill the last 5 minutes... the 'I am your father' moment. Thereafter it ran out of ideas despite 7 more films. Terminator 1 and 2 ditto. Originality is a rare commodity.

Yes. But on balance I think the best films over Christmas period would be, Rio Bravo, The Man Who Shot Liberty Balance and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. If The Searchers was on, I missed it. There is a trend there... and I must say the vast majority of millennial movies and erm, comedians, fail in the entertainment stakes for me.

This is a fair point, as opposed to the professional 'knockers'. Hall did his knee playing for Leeds, after he signed for Roosters. So it's not his fault he missed a load of games and needs game play. And I am sorry he got injured at an age when you can do without that. I notice that despite not playing since March, Sean O'Loughlin end up being injured just in time for the restart.

Yes. Wigan miss him... But both current 2nd rows keep getting injured.

You will all be able to look out for Williams in the NRL next season. Wigan are becoming the youth development section of the NRL. I am wondering which hasbeen NRL half they will need to fill in the gap?

It's the 25yd line !!
