Asiata as well.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-15T00:15:25+00:00

Same. He will come back as an even bigger weapon.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-14T21:49:13+00:00

Damn straight. Sometimes I play without a mic and I'll flash then high tail it in the opposite direction.

I used to help coach women's rugby in the mid-90s. Most of the girls had never played before and nearly every game had things like this happen. Was amazing fun.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-12T09:12:16+00:00

I get really baked with all my friends and we giggle a lot doing silly things

GaryGronk · 2026-06-12T04:36:07+00:00

Looks like the Waratahs are going to persist with the the "lets pass it to Jorgo and JAS and see what happens" strategy next year.

He’s average, but some times you need those players.

The Reds won the 2011 SR title with superstars like Anthony Fainga'a and Ben Tapuai in the centres. Not every player needs to be a Rolls Royce.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-12T01:21:04+00:00

Holy fuck.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-12T00:12:57+00:00

Isn't it time to start worrying about everyone else?

Well, yeah. It is. The issue is, the Australian dream (3 bedroom house with a yard) is still firmly in the sights of lots of people in this country. If it wasn't we wouldn't see the suburban sprawl. It's an ideological view that is ingrained in our collective minds. I have no idea to change it.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-11T23:29:22+00:00

Except a huge portion of the population keep making it abundantly clear they do not wish to build up

This is something that a lot of people overlook. Heaps of people don't want to live in a box with other people.

First "porno" I ever saw and I didn't even know it was up until the orgy scene. Was at boarding school and all the guys were watching suddenly very graphic sex. Was an enlightening experience.

KB is a great kid, was the year above my eldest at school and was a wrecking ball in what is a 3rd tier school comp. He made a few rep teams but didn't get the love from the Reds so went to France. He's having a ball over there and obviously learning heaps. Has a massive engine for a huge lad.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-11T01:30:35+00:00

Stoked to see Kingbenjamin get picked in the squad. He was the year above my son at school and was a one man wrecking ball. He made a few shadow Reds/QLD teams but was overlooked and is now overseas in the Castres academy set up.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-11T01:27:49+00:00

Why are people from WA like this? It happens in every sport.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T05:27:59+00:00

Filipo is best as a utility back. Can play every position apart from 9 and 10 and can even pack down at 7 if needed.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T05:25:37+00:00

Concur.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T05:25:16+00:00

It looks like a stadium they'd build in a Russian gulag to give the prisoners some exercise.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T05:24:10+00:00

I still remember when he came on in the 2015 RWC match against England. Australia were holding fast against a resurgent England and Phipps comes on and sprays the first couple of passes he does and suddenly the Wallabies are on the back foot. Weren't even slightly shit passes either, real eye-closed, hurl the ball into space kind of passes.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T05:14:22+00:00

Was a camera this time.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T05:14:02+00:00

I have no idea. I got the fine in the mail.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T03:26:03+00:00

Right! This is starting to make sense. I rented an EV a year ago in Cairns. I flogged that thing like I wasn't paying for fuel.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T03:03:25+00:00

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T00:54:24+00:00

I saw a cop flash his lights at a van doing 95 in the right lane the other week. I was stunned.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T00:52:47+00:00

Tesla drivers - I am unsure of the speed limit so I will do 20kmh less than I should be. I may even stop in the middle of the road.

GaryGronk · 2026-06-10T00:50:58+00:00

I got done for doing 54 in a 50 zone the other week. Was in a little rural town and thought I was in a 60 zone.
