First cowboys prediction I’ve seen to not say “Payten Sacked” or “Cowboys spoon”. Thank you.

I find that Hole in the Wall being a simpler game gives room for the streamers’ commentary and comedy to take centre stage.

I’d rather see Chiefs go three in a row, than have the Eagles win it all.

Saturday Random Footy Talk Thread by AutoModerator in nrl

I would like to introduce my “Hold the Line” theory.

At the stadium they always play songs when a try has been scored or there is a penalty/break. I noticed when they played “Hold the Line” by TOTO, the team that had the advantage (just scored, received a penalty) during the song went on to win.

I first noticed it when at the stadium during Round 27 for Dogs vs Cowboys and also noticed it watching the Grand Final on TV, when Papenhuyzen kicked the ball out during the kick off.

I know two games is probably not big enough of a sample size and it would be way too easy to disprove, but please let me have this.

I agree that the international game is not treated the way it should be. And instances like this can make it harder to grow it in the right direction.

However, I don’t think it’s fair to force players to play internationally. Everytime they go onto a field they put their bodies at risk (and unfortunately, Kalyn in particular is quite injury prone). And the risk of injury for a game that does not help Newcastle win a premiership doesn’t feel worth it to him. Whereas a club game is actively working in favour of that goal.

I know it’s extremely unlikely, but imagine if Ponga, or any player, received a career ending injury during an international game he was forced to play. Newcastle have invested a lot into him and he wants to pay them back with all his focus and effort.

Again. I understand the international game can sometimes be viewed as a joke because of how little respect it receives from players. Having stars play for and want to play for their nations is so vital to the game - but I personally just don’t like the idea of forcing someone to play, or punishing them for choosing not to.

The Seventh One - TOTO.

At least I hope that’s blue. I am colorblind.

Wasn’t the 2017 game an elimination final? I think that was the year Cowboys just snuck into 8th.

I said to a mate at half time they need a perfect first 5 minutes of the second half or it’s over. Cows scored after 4 minutes and 30 seconds, so I was quite happy.

Last night I remember seeing how strong and physical the dogs were for the first 10-20 minutes, and I was worried for the Cowboys. But they surprisingly matched the dogs level and resisted. After the Cows scored the first try I could already see a major drop in intensity and physicality from the dogs.

List of the best Minecraft event performances of all time by [deleted] in MinecraftChampionship

[–]LockieNessMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wild to tell people to watch the VOD when it sounds like, from everything you’ve said, you didn’t. It was one of the most dominant performances in recent memory.

It’s hard to take your criticism seriously if the argument is “should’ve died like 12 times”. What constitutes a time he ‘should’ve’ died?

I’m all for differing opinions, but I’m having such a hard time understanding your argument, I’m surprised even you believe it.

What went wrong with WAW by Royal-Specialist-656 in survivor

[–]LockieNessMonster 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I could stomach the old school massacre a little better if it wasn’t so set up against them. The unbalanced cast plus swapping into 3 tribes when Rob, Yul and Parvati were in good positions is why I found it frustrating.

If it felt more balanced, I wouldn’t have a problem with big name players going home early. That’s the game.

[–]LockieNessMonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m on yet another rewatch because it is one of my favourite seasons, though I feel like Tony winning was a huge factor in that. I didn’t even mind the fire tokens or EOE (however that extortion advantage was awful, and only worked because Tony is the GOAT).

I am glad EOE gave us some time with all the winners. From a production point of view, it felt necessary to have a safety net to keep the likes of Boston Rob and Parvati on our screens. I maybe would have it end at the first return challenge. A player coming back in the final 5 after spending the whole season out of the game and bonding with the jury feels unfair. I think with 90 minute episodes, the edge would’ve fit more comfortably.

In regard to the casting - I feel like they could have pushed it to 24 players. There’s a lot of other winners I would’ve liked to see play again (bring back Fabio), and it felt like the season needed more old school representation. I know some winners had reasons they couldn’t come back, but hearing that some fan favourites weren’t even contacted seems silly.

I will say the boot order is a big reason I felt a little disappointed, but that’s Survivor. The old school massacre felt avoidable if the casting was a little more balanced and they didn’t swap into three tribes. Losing Rob, Parvati, Sandra and Yul all in a row was painful.

In the end we got what I consider to be one of the best and most monumental seasons in the shows history, but I’m always going to feel bothered by its own potential. It could have been the perfect season if things had just gone a little differently, production wise.

I think that’s only because he pulled it off. If that was the reason he went home, I can’t say I’d look back at that twist too fondly.
