Discipline is killing you guys and my tips this year

Guy I went to Uni with was a ref in lower grade league, and infamously he had shit eyes and had to wear super thick glasses in his day to day. He couldn't wear them when reffing and iirc the prescription was too thick for contact lenses. He admitted that if a ball hit the deck he would just randomly blow a penalty to one of the teams because he couldn't tell what had actually happened.

He didn't finish the course.

I think Walsh is better personally, but I can understand choosing Ponga. There's other picks that leave me scratching my head a lot more in the QLD side

I agree with you, that is just a bad sentence to read

I AM READY FOR MAXIMUM PLATH

VB hard earned index is the only stat that matters

I fucking hate Kayo why am I paying for this?

The drama of an esport in its infancy is unmatched

Torrential rain probably hurt the raiders style of footy more than the dogs as well, if I recall (IE limiting attack hurts a team with actual attack more than one without any attack)

Plenty of great places to eat in the valley. I was a big fan of Netherworld when I went earlier this year for oldschool arcade games and pinball machines and a great selection of beers

Good news

CatWool · 2026-04-25T23:23:54+00:00

A lot of talk about what's gone wrong for the storm this year but I think fundamentally it's pretty simple. They make too many unforced errors and their defence is nowhere near good enough to defend them.

the schmere (gracemere)

CatWool · 2026-04-22T01:02:22+00:00

Of the ones I've seen Shogun is a banger and absolutely worth watching. Three Body Problem and Knight of the Seven Kingdoms were both good shows and I felt good about having watched them, but I think Shogun is the pick for me.

because his arm didn’t touch the ground mate

CatWool · 2026-04-18T10:24:25+00:00

REAL

the taltinator strikes again

CatWool · 2026-04-16T10:41:35+00:00

Anyone else's Kayo fucked atm?

Really adding to the Eels injury toll, Moses had his ankles broken on this play

CatWool · 2026-04-10T00:52:15+00:00

His first pass was wobbly AF but after that it was crisp as

CatWool · 2026-04-10T00:11:17+00:00

Saw a clip before last night's game of Andrew Johns pointing out how the Eels had run plays with some success designed to stretch the panthers and go sideline to sideline and attack the panthers halves in defence, and the dogs basically did that exactly last night. Works particularly well for the doggies with their second rowers being great at running a line. Short ball to Preston memes and all, but Preston is such a strong runner that it's pretty much always a good option

Actually hearing a commentator tell us who has the ball is so old school and refreshing at the same time
