  1. Is this a first? I'm not aware of any other sponsorships of shed celebrations. Couldn't understand a word. No unladylike language, I hope.
  2. I'm far too weak and lacking in moral fibre. Poor Rocket had salt rubbed in his ANZAC Day wounds. A heartfelt apology is due. We'll wait while the perpetrator summons up courage and strength.
  3. You ought to be. NRL and AFL are in tremendous shape. Good time to be a fan of both. A number of posters on L.U. saying they went to MCG and AAMI.
  4. Quick bit of research unearthed an article containing these quotes - "I started playing Union when I was in boarding school" "That was a 7s competition. I had a couple of friends that played, so they dragged me along to training. They got me into Union and I've stuck with it ever since." From the tone, wouldn't be a huge surprise if she were a League junior. Although curious that she says "Union" rather than "Rugby". I believe we should globally encourage as many overseas players as is practicable and affordable. Helps generate interest among media, sponsors and fans. Forges links between comps, clubs, players. All of which spreads awareness of women's RL.
  5. Sounds about right. How will she adjust to the bright lights?
  6. Confession - I used to think you were a woman. Possibly Harry Bath's granddaughter.
  7. "Unforgotten" sounds like a Clint Eastwood movie. In fairness to the lovely Anita, the sentence was easily misconstrued. Anita would not have been confused if the OP had put "Not forgotten". So despite the bum steer, Anita is not unforgiven. I doubt you were loling at Kyle Langford's behind, towards the end of the ANZAC match.
  8. No, indeed you didn't. That sentence makes perfect sense, now I read it again. Got led astray by Anita Bath. I take full responsibility for his deplorable error.
  9. They unquestionably spent some lolly on Return of the Saint. Has the air of truncated versions of The Spy Who Loved Me or Moonraker. Original run went out around quarter past seven on Sunday evenings, generally considered a premium slot for high ratings. Presumably because everyone was at home, drawing a line under the weekend and preparing to go back to work/school.
  10. I can't stand the way they cut to low-angle cameras at crucial moments. Those are fine for replays. In real time, they ruin the coverage.
  11. Guessing Magpies fans enjoyed the wayward effort more than Bombers fans. Could be wrong. Routine miss, for all I know. Perhaps our favourite Fumbleball troll (and Essendon fan) could shed some light?
  12. Don't recognize the name. Definitely never played for the Raiders.
  13. The MCG ANZAC Day clash ended in a 85-85 draw. Magpies were leading 85-84. Bombers equalized with a miss. Looked a pretty bad miss too. Still, a miss is a miss. Real shame AFL don't have golden miss extra time. Ditto NRL. Shaun Johnson's missed FG attempt would have beaten Manly a fortnight ago. Seven's commentators are constantly at fever pitch. One of them doesn't just sound excited, but emotional. As though he could burst into tears at any moment.
  14. My ties to Rugby League obliquely stem from a great-grandfather. He was 17 in 1914. Lied about his age to volunteer. Fought in the Dardanelles campaign where he lost an eye. The family kept a casket with his glass eyes, medals, and other memorabilia. As a child, I was fascinated by the contents. After the war, he worked at the Agecroft Colliery. Got photos of him on a works outing to the Challenge Cup final. Died from emphysema before I was born. Assuredly not forgotten.
  15. Dreadful pedestrian last set after they took the lead. No way to close out a game. Just handed York field position.
  16. So it's DIY score-lines in York? The petulant accounting still doesn't add up. Final score was 20-16. And you're also wrong about the call. Liv Gale lost it cold, after the tackle was complete. Camera angle from behind the goal showed it clearly.
  17. This is an observation rather than a gripe - Thought the ref should have called more ruck infringements in the first half. When defences are too good, we need a quicker ruck. Can understand why refs let things go, but the consequence of leniency is defenders start feeling entitled to slow it down even when they lose the tackle and floor. Saw the difference, second half.
  18. Best to take one's leave section by section. I've flounced off Politics and Australian. Both vintage displays.
  19. That was noticeable last night. Likely be more noticeable against the big 3. Fair assessment. Unfortunately. Anna Davies gets better. Genuine strike player.
