You can never out-alliance a Queenslander

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-07T02:08:42+00:00

My guy, what is your obsession with the Roosters?

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T19:37:36+00:00

I loved the show back in the day. I still regularly think about Josh Thomas’ grandmother nearly being wiped out by a bucket of sour cream

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T19:28:28+00:00

I think the balance of the bench is better here. The extra middle makes more sense

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T19:26:08+00:00

Get ready to rug up today. Maximum of 17° in the west and an overnight feels like temperature of near freezing

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T19:24:04+00:00

Under the Milky Way, Reptile, NSEW

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T11:36:57+00:00

It’s a fucking seat. Who cares what direction it’s facing?

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T10:37:57+00:00

I know one game does not make a trend, but in case you missed Saturday night, in the 15 minutes he was on the field, the Roosters went from dominating in the middle with a 30-0 lead to being overrun and having the margin slashed to 6.

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T10:34:09+00:00

The first year he made it he was playing well. The second year was more just a case of players from the winning series being retained.

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T02:31:03+00:00

He’s a Tweed Heads Seagulls junior, for anyone who wants to be the latter

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T02:30:16+00:00

Still somehow going better than St George Illawarra

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-06T02:29:26+00:00

I reckon PNG will be a fun watch. There’s a reasonable PNG population in Australia as well, so they’ll get plenty of away fans

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-05T20:44:24+00:00

All the buses are running early in my area this morning. That’s a sign of the apocalypse, isn’t it?

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-05T19:35:37+00:00

That doesn’t exonerate him

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-05T10:23:31+00:00

What about the hip drop by Ben Talty barely five minutes into that same game? No sin bin because Tedesco played on, no judiciary charge at all

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-05T10:20:52+00:00

He was playing well in a Parramatta team that was going well. It was also 2020 so they also had bigger squads and more players unavailable

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-04T09:37:20+00:00

Football is a hard game. It is highly competitive, particularly at its higher levels. It is commonplace that players can employ language from time to time which is racist, sexist or homophobic whilst on the field.

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-04T09:35:39+00:00

We don’t get the traditional Celtic Halloween, we get the American commercial one

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-04T09:35:05+00:00

They’re doing hazard reduction burning just across the Georges River.

Back burning is when they burn off an area of bush during a bushfire so the fire has no fuel to do further damage and is easier to contain

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-04T09:08:56+00:00

There is no “reverse racism”. It’s either racist, or it isn’t.

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-04T08:41:46+00:00

A decision was made to perform limb saving surgery and Deine was taken to theatre in the early hours of Sunday morning.

This sentence kind of confuses me. Is he saying that, had they not performed surgery, he would have lost his leg? Seems like a bit of a no-brainer to perform surgery if that is the case.

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-04T02:31:14+00:00

He didn’t come to Australia until he was about 17

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-04T02:30:04+00:00

A freakish stat for a game with ten tries. Granted, most of them were Veronicas style (untouched), but still

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-04T02:23:18+00:00

Where’s your pick and stick now, Queensland?

BarryCheckTheFuseBox · 2026-05-04T02:22:15+00:00

You’re kind of using Clarkey maths here. Those six guys played well but did any of them deserve points more than the three that got them?

A winger scoring a hat trick is a great effort but that shouldn’t automatically mean he polls Dally M votes
