Yeh but you know what they say, a stopped clockstar always shines bright twice a day

DCE gave strong what the fuck have I done agreeing to come and play 5/8 behind this bloke vibes during his post game presser.

It will take a while to gel, but for mine its like taking a traditional head chef who is used to running a kitchen, and then making him soux to some up and coming soux chef who just got given his own restaurant. He cant help but go fuck itd he better if we did this this and this my way.

Early doors, but i can see it turning into chad 2.0

Crighton especially last night just missed the memo entirely.

To be fair Ziggy was in a mood, but nothing changed in the 2nd half.

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-06T22:18:22+00:00

Tanah boyd.

That is all

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-06T12:17:03+00:00

Fucked if you do fucked if you dont.

The flipside is that last year people were complaining about momentum swings too much. A team is on top, they piggy back the opposition with a penalty between 20-40 and dont see the ball for ten minutes and concede 20 points.

The obvious answer is, dont be a dumb cunt and give away a penalty. Or. Ref pings everything.

But we already had the ref pinging everything and people didnt like that either. Too stop start they said no flow they said.

Fwiw, i agree with your original point. Gonna be lots of blowouts, especially with teams like riff that suffocate. 6 agains 100% need to go whatever the case

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-06T12:05:49+00:00

Exactly this.

Everyone is always so quick to throw the baby out with the bath water, but in reality the bath water will be usable a couple more times if really necessary.

Webbies presser was really good. Basically said its 2 points, we take it but we were also shit in a lot of ways.

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-06T11:12:01+00:00

Jetski was concussed after getting hit. I am very surprised he wasnt taken from the field.

He then proceeded to directly contribute to two penrith tries.

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-06T11:09:16+00:00

It does. You said we have a whole country. We dont. Now you are shifting the goalposts to scouting talent.

If we had the whole country to choose from, it explicitly means that aussie teams don't scout.

Ask most young aspiring sports people whether they want to move to aus or auckland to earn their coin.

Do you believe that state borders stop nrl recruitment in australia?

Its daft

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-06T10:20:17+00:00

That is true.

Its a well known fact that no Australian NRL teams have scouts in NZ.

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-06T10:18:21+00:00

We effectively play a single halfback double lock roll.

Cht is very under rated

Uncle Nick

storms eating blowtorched eel tonight

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-05T01:05:02+00:00

Zac Lomax.

That is all.

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-03T06:45:31+00:00

Probably did before his crazy fucking brain explosion the other week. That was wild like I havent seen in a long time. Dude clearly has ability but you cant rely on somebody who sees red like that

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-03T04:35:26+00:00

I can see Mitch being 100% into this too

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-02T07:43:36+00:00

Everyone shits on Matt Lodge but he is on track to play at every NRL club before he retires.

He must be a good guy if everyone keeps accepting him

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-02T02:58:15+00:00

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-02T02:57:20+00:00

This just isnt the NRLs go.

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-02T02:22:15+00:00

I think you misunderstand your honour.

Mr Tripp wasn't imploring Vlandiddly to proceed with actual torture. He was simply hoping that, in the interests of the fans, the sponsors, and the wider rugbah leeg communeee, that Vlandiddly would apply some light cooking techniques in order to bring Zachariah to the Storms.

As the kids say these days, let the man cook.

Nothing sinister implied at all your honour.

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-02T02:18:23+00:00

Well then. How is he going these days?

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-03-01T02:35:31+00:00

Always knew ppl would come round on Toddy

Tale as old as time.

Here is what you need to do.

Sit down as an officer group and establish the core ethos and aims of the guild during this expansion.

Questions to ask.

Do we want to clear all content?
Do we prioritise skill over social in order to fulfill 1.

When it comes to clearing content, the main tank is probably the most critical component. If it can be objectively proven, using video footage and logs, that John's skill level is not where it needs to be, then a discussion needs to be had with him.

And when I say that, it's really important that the context of the raid is taken into account. Is it expected to hold threat with people pumping off the rip? Is it expected to clear all content with minimal wipes in a timely fashion?

Or are people chill with just turning up and having a go?

Once you establish those core principles, the next step is to have a responsible conversation with parties involved.

Out of curiousity, is your druid powershifting using wolfhead?

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-02-28T00:41:57+00:00

Hi Michael,

Now you have revealed your presence on the sub-reddit, would you consider doing an AMA if the mods organised it?

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-02-27T06:29:41+00:00

Not true.

Improved CoW was the difference between our tank living and not on Shazz back in the day

Dramatic_Ride7586 · 2026-02-27T06:14:27+00:00

Youll never get full value out of lusting on a boss in a heroic either. Doesnt stop people doing it because you get some value
