I'm planning on adjusting to what they like I think and really making an effort to spend time with them. They really do appreciate time spent more than anything be it playing games/cards etc or just talking about what they like or watching some God awful kids Netflix show with them I'd say the old truism that you get out what you put in with your kids is very very true Luckily they have been brainwashed into liking watching live sport with us so we hopefully will always have that (in addition they both play football and netball competitively ) ....we are working out how to avoid the classic case of girls reaching teenage-hood and giving up sport ).....

But he did control what Parcell did next because Parcell let go of his face as soon as Sau lifts his leg up to get thim off Maybe Parcell would have let go of his face/eyes anyway.....but MAYBE not I for one would not risk my eye sight for a maybe based on a player who already has hold of me Parcell CHOSE to grab Sau's face and potentially eye gouge.....Sau did not CHOOSE the extremely dangerous position he was in Again.....not sure how much people are taking the seriousness of eye grabbing/ injuries....loss off sight is right up with head knocks and spine injuries.....players who do not CHOOSE to be put at risk of blindness have a duty of care to themselves and any risk the assaulter has is of their own making I'll put it a different way ..... Parcell face grabbed/potentially eye gouged ......he got a binning and Sau got a red What is to stop the another grub in round 2 doing it next week ...potentially making an opposition player think he is going to be blinded and so provoking the player to lash out with a fist or whatever to stop it??? And before anyone says it....there are PLENTY of grubs in SL who would

You must be watching a different video to me...he clearly has his hands on his face when Sau kicks out to defend himself from being face grabbed/potentially eye gouged Amor says as much himself. Neither commentators seems to be able to see why it's a red card and both agree with me that is was simply self defence to try and get out of a very dangerous situation I'd say both of them know more about the game than us and it's clear what they think watching the exact same video slowed down

Thread for positive vibes and I am the first reply !!! 22 hours after posting!!! I'm excited .....great it's all back again

I hate to labour a point DKW but I said 'detail' What exactly would have worked physically to stop the face grab/potential eye gouge? I mean we know for a fact what Sau did do immediately stopped the face grab/ eye gouge....but what else would have been effective so quickly? If Sau hadn't got such a quick release from his face/eye could we be talking about a serious life changing eye injury right now?

Holroyd and McDonnel out will hurt Big Tom could really do with an injury light season ....like Newman he really needs it as if either get a big one again it will hurt their careers after so much previous time out Will be interesting to see how going booze free will change Bentley ......I'd assume he now has a better chance if reaching his potential physically and dare I say it mentally.....hope he doesn't completely lose the mongrel side of him though

I'll try a different way with you Please genuinely answer this question 'When Parcell grabbed Sau's face and potentially tried to eye gouge....what exactly should Sau have done? And I mean specifically in this exact incident. Please detail it for me' I might be wrong but so far you are hinting that your answer is this .... 'Sau should have stayed still and allowed Parcell to complete his face grab/potential eye grab or until the referee or someone else stopped the face grab/potential eye gouge' Is that right? If not then detail specifically what in this exact case should Sau have done with his hands/body/face/legs Alternatively don't answer this question and signal that you really don't have an argument to make

The players seem to respect him ...I like him overall but maybe drop the 'mate' bit for me

You have no problem with him retaliating but you also think he should be punished? Makes no sense ....you either think he should or shouldn't be able to defend a potential eye gouge And yes.....having gone though an eye grab it does give me a better perspective than anyone who hasn't. People can still comment but they are less well informed to do so I've also had someone bend 3 of fingers back deliberately in a ruck.l, broke two of them.....believe me if I'd had a cricket bat I would have hit him with it never mind kick my legs out to stop it If someone goes in like a grub with a head shot or eye gouge then the immediate response of the victim should be considered self defence
