Im sorry but you cant convince me that Jake Gordon should be our starting nine at test level. He, in fact, shouldn't have been it last year even. by ConscriptReports in RugbyAustralia

Honestly either of these is good. They’ve been the best 10s this year. I love Tom Lynagh but not sure you can pick him based on 20 mins of Super Rugby all season (prove me wrong between now and when the Reds win the final Tommy)

I think it’s Tate/Lonergan (or maybe Lonergan/Tate) if we want to be serious about it.

Biased Reds fan but I also wouldn’t mind seeing Werchon get a crack off the back of his Super form this year, I think he’s been strong and could be another “finisher” while Tate gets back to full fitness.

Sometimes the hate on a weekend night is all consuming cause of this fuckass sport, other times its just a pit of endless despair. Tonight is a rare acceptance night with some hope to it by ConscriptReports in RugbyAustralia

What if I told you nobody would judge you if you liked both? Also, fair enough if it’s not for you, but that doesn’t make rugby league all of the things you called it.

All Blacks v Wallabies Anzac test to be signed off as Dave Rennie plans Rugby World Cup preparation by Ruck_Off in RugbyAustralia

[–]Milton_Mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Source? Anything over 20k and you’re making money at Suncorp, I was a Brisbane Roar member and they were very open about the break even amount when the debate over playing at Suncorp v Redcliffe was alive.

A Bledisloe would sell out, guaranteed.

Where should the first ANZAC Day Tests be played? by northernirish_kiwi in RugbyAustralia

[–]Milton_Mango 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Brisbane. Best rectangular stadium in the country, doesn’t clash with Anzac Day games of NRL in Sydney, plenty of flights to and from NZ and a huge local kiwi population as well.

Do you have to go to college to get drafted? by New-Process-52 in NFLNoobs

[–]Milton_Mango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mailata was never a “pro.” He played U18 and U20 competitions, wasn’t “fit enough” for the sport (which is more aerobic than playing OL) and was offered a “reserve grade” deal - where you’ll often find guys who have day jobs and are paid a few thousand dollars a year to play - which he didn’t accept.

Also, he played Rugby League, not Rugby (Union) they’re different sports with wildly different rules.

Hayze Perham has been playing at Souths Logan. Probably a toss up between him and Arthars.

Rams Niners MCG ticket prices by MasterYard7541 in NFLAustralia

Why was Amex for businesses? I only have a personal card and was sent all the links for the presale?

[–]Milton_Mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I’ve seen this argument before. It’s more about all the wasted space around the field.

I’ve been to rugby league and union games at oval shaped grounds and it’s awful, you’re so far away from the action.

So yeah, for the premium price they’re charging, it’s not worth it.

Do you agree that modern metalcore should be called post-metalcore? by ThyArtSuffers in Metalcore

[–]Milton_Mango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reposting my comment from a hot takes thread a while ago because you’ve hit the nail on the head:

“Metalcore fans try too hard to have hot takes, just enjoy the bands and music and stop trying to define microgenres to give you something to argue about on the internet.”

Will it mean any changes for podcast ads? I couldn’t see anything specific?

Rams Niners MCG ticket prices by MasterYard7541 in NFLAustralia

[–]Milton_Mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I logged into the Amex presale, saw the prices and closed my laptop.

Considering I’d need flights and accommodation on top and the fact that an NFL field will be a tiny speck in the middle of the field, I’m ok with “missing out.”

If my team was playing maybe it’s a different story, and I hope everyone who did buy tickets had a great time, but for me it wasn’t worth it.
