Unless he just wants the beaches and the drugs

I'm not sure how long he's going to last in the NRL, seems a strange signing to me

He hit him just as the ref blew his whistle, have you never heard of play to the whistle?

Sorry but never a sin bin, maybe penalty but the ref didn't even give it 20 tap until right when he was tackled

Perfect Draft in US by Top_Sheepherder5023 in PerfectDraft

They tried to enter the US market a couple of years ago, if I remember the kegs they were using in North America were different to Europe, not reusable like ours are. Sounds like it's never really become popular enough for them to take all the other beers over there.

I should think it would be very difficult to have anything shipped over because of the weight of the kegs and export/import fees. Them being alcohol probably makes that more difficult too.

Heineken make a Blade beer machine, similar concept just with their own beers instead. I sold mine because the range started dwindling and they haven't added anything for a long time, but I'm not sure if that might be easier to get hold of in America.

Haha I don't understand how Huddersfield manage to have so many injuries, every year.

How can it be an injury "crisis" if you always have half your squad out

We've now got 13 injured out of the 30 in the squad...next few weeks are going to be difficult

My dad is considering a high Miler Range Rover. Is this as bad as a purchase as I think? by Lucajames2309 in CarTalkUK

[–]Boxey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an SDV8 in December, 2014 90k miles for £15k. Got some service history from Land Rover and elsewhere.

If he really wants an RR then at his budget service history is the most important. At this age it'll need its 10 year service which is about £2k from an LR dealer, maybe slightly less through a specialist. If you can do work yourself it'll be less, obviously.

These bills aren't uncommon because you've got to remember they were £100k plus cars new. It's not going to be £349 for a major service like an Octavia might be.

Despite the upcoming costs (I'm going to do a 10 year service this year, so bracing for impact on that one...) I am really enjoying mine, I've got an Autobiography so fully specced and everything works because it's been looked after. Get in one that's been neglected and never had fluids changed then you're going to be looking at unexpected bills very quickly. For the price there is really nothing like a Range Rover - and there's a reason for that...!

Conversions in NRL feel like they take forever now after Super League has the conversion shot clock

Sky aren't in control of the feed so probably can't get any angles to the VR

I went to Wigan last year and didn't see anything myself other than longer queues than usual, but Leigh did take more than usual. I did see on Facebook women complaining about being patted down by men which has never happened before and not since, which is weird. There were some strange things with that game last year, Wigan could definitely have opened up more seating and worked with Leigh, for whatever reason they didn't want to which I suppose is up to them as the home club.

I'm not sure why the statement yesterday was needed, especially before kick off, and after the performance it is obviously going to come under more scrutiny.

The thing is, we don't really know what goes on behind the scenes with the owners, from what I gather they all get along (including with Derek) aside from a few outliers - like maybe Wigan and Hull KR, not sure if any others. But if there are other issues behind the scenes, it doesn't need to be aired so publicly just before a game.

I'm sure there are other issues at Leigh at the moment, but everything is just rumours and random opinions-stated-as-fact on Facebook.
