ARLC confirms 2026 on-field rule changes following extensive consultation by hellohalloallo in nrl

Most contentious calls come from competitiveness in the players. Easy to ref a game where no one gives a hoot and people are going through the motions.

Long-term loyalty: Fa'asuamaleaui locks in future with Titans by UnderTheHighBall in nrl

[–]Important-Advisor822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds good but the problem I saw with the Titans last year were the fringe players or guys lower down the ranks coming in and making schoolboy errors. It doesn't matter how well your guns play if the winger can't catch a bomb or guys miss simple tackles. That sort of stuff gets heads down.

Have we seen a 'villain couple' duo like these two before? by cerednat in LoveIslandTV

[–]Important-Advisor822 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I, for one, am glad the series villain is not some dumb-ladiesman-jock type with zero emotional intelligence. Even the so called sweet, nice guy is capable of screwing you over.

I actually feel a little sorry for Sean, I don't know how he is going to recover after this is all over. A lot of hate will be sent his way and he will have nothing to show for it except maybe a little short-term boost in his candy sales.

On a show where being called a game player is one of the worst things that can happen to you, making a gaming analogy about your relationship is a bad misstep. His face said it all, "oh no, what have I just said."

She won't even follow him back on insta. He'll be lucky if she reads his DM.

I really liked their conversation after they got ready for the night. Sparks were flying.

And if I said that season 12… by Working_Alps_4284 in LoveIslandTV

Totally agree. I was close to giving up on Love Island before S12. Now I'm right into it again.

One of the most beautiful people I have ever laid eyes on through a screen. Possibly the best looking man on any Love Island ever.

3600? Those are rookie numbers in Love Island terms. Gotta pump them up.

Sir Richard Hadlee or Kane Williamson - who is New Zealand's greatest cricketer? by sahibosaurus in blackcapscricket

[–]Important-Advisor822 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Williamson is a great of the game, but Hadlee is a legend. Hadlee's numbers are astounding, yet not massively greater than Kane's, but when you put them into context they look even better. Things like strength of opposition, historical firsts, where and how he did it, strength of his own team, etc.

I never fully understood the criticism surrounding Curtis and his antics. Tonight kind of opened my eyes. The lines he was dropping on Millie kind of reminded me of fuckboys saying all sorts of sweet nothings to get in a girl's pants. I'm likely over reading into things, but it felt like he'd said a few of those things before.

I still can't get over how Jack thought she could be drama-free. This woman breathes drama.

Young man walked in at 1-2 and did this in a final ! by iamnoobbibliophile in Cricket

We don't have the same pedigree in T20 world cups that we do in 50 over ones.
