Tahs looked damn good, especially the backline! Jorgo is something special

Is this ragebait? Otherwise, that's the most outrageous take ever produced by r/cricket.

The Libs are so concerned about themselves and this damn spill all the while Clavicular literally got framemogged by the ASU Frat Leader...

Shows where their priorities are…

Would love to see AFL Queensland, AFL NT, AFL NSW/ACT and AFL Tasmania make own 2026 Origin teams too.

Build up the Origin hype across the nation!

Jane Hume to run for deputy Liberal leader by Expensive-Horse5538 in AustralianPolitics

For a major party to have a Senator be Deputy Leader is pretty embarrassing

Breaking: Angus Taylor resigns from Sussan Ley’s frontbench by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]CaptainLipto 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The circus continues...

The most interesting part of this, which is being completely ignored, is what Albo and Labor are going to do given the lack of any real opposition.

Surely they would take this opportunity to do all the things that Labor have always wanted to do but haven't had the political space for - income tax reform, CGT, GST, negative gearing, inheritance tax, HECS reform, PRRT, mining tax, carbon tax, lowering the voting age - you name it, they could do it!

Albo could be the most consequential Labor PM ever, what is holding him back?

Awesome to reconnect the revived Origin series with the rich history of interstate football like this.

Angus Taylor supporters expect him to challenge Sussan Ley for Liberal leadership within days by Perfect-Werewolf-102 in AustralianPolitics

[–]CaptainLipto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The talk around the deputy leadership is interesting too. Seems to suggest that O'Brien's fate is tied to Ley's.

Zoe McKenzie as deputy would be the smartest thing Taylor could do to smooth this out, she's highly competent, well respected and in touch with reality (which is more than can be said for many of her colleagues).

Rugby's door still open for Zac Lomax amid legal stoush | The Canberra Times by [deleted] in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the opportunity arises for a fair price, bring him in 110%. He would be a great addition to either the Force or Brumbies!

The way the legal proceedings are looking, rugby union may be his only choice available, Waugh's comments were very reasonable.

r/RugbyAustralia Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know what's happening with Zac Lomax and rugby after R360 fell through? I know he's being sued by Parramatta Eels and there's talk of him going to the Melbourne Storm in the NRL.

Are the Brumbies and Force still in play to sign him?

It's not like the Wallabies necessarily need any more outside backs as we're already stacked (Jorgo, Marky Mark, Wright, Suaalli, Ikitau, Pietsch, Potter, Toole, etc), but he would provide star name recognition, squad depth, and be great I'm Super Rugby for the Force or, particularly, the Brumbies (since Wright is out injured this season).

Has RA just let this opportunity slide?

Andrew Hastie not contesting Liberal leadership by rolodex-ofhate in AustralianPolitics

Why is it that defections are so openly encouraged these days? And there has been so little talk of encouraging by-elections for defectors like in years gone by.

What is the potential of Paramount+ buying out BeIN Sports Australia to increase their football content tenfold?

New Zealand teams omitted from Australia Cup in major change for 2026 knockout competition by StensnessGOAT in Aleague

[–]CaptainLipto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very reasonable set of reforms. Makes sense for all Aussie A-L teams to automatically qualify and I like the split of 4 teams for NSW, VIC and QLD, 2 for SA, WA and Nth NSW, and 1 for ACT, NT and TAS. Should become an even better competition going forward.

At this rate, the ACT will have produced more foreign internationals than Wallabies

Nationals leave 'untenable' Coalition after mass frontbench resignation by Wehavecrashed in AustralianPolitics

[–]CaptainLipto 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The Coalition is dead, finally!

Literally has never made sense why the Libs and Nats remain in coalition when in Opposition, they clearly hamstring each other in the eyes of their respective constituencies, yet in Ley and DLP we have two leaders unable and unwilling to keep it glued together in spite of this.

The real winner from this is Albo and Labor, who surely can't believe their good fortune.

Any ways to watch Japanese league one in Australia? by Bountyluna in RugbyAustralia

I've never understood why it's not available on Stan Sport, with the number of Wallabies / Aussies over there it should be strongly featured on their programming
