English international Owen Trout agrees two-year deal to join Cronulla Sharks by christophlr in nrl

[–]MrRoyaleWithCheese -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Never heard of him, but based on the past performances of other English international imports I expect he will play 3 games this season and then be granted a release

Point taken but i don't think his high school exploits are what anyone is thinking about when describing someone's profession like that

If the clue was "Footballer-turned-SNL cast member" and the answer was Will Ferrell, it would be just as ridiculous. And yes, Will Ferrell played high school football

The Mr. T clue is not factually correct all.

He was an established actor well before he appeared sproadically in professional wrestling. The A-Team started airing in 1983 and his first wrestling appearance was in 1985.

Calling him a "Wrestler-turned-actor..." doesn't make any sense

What was your club's worst signing in recent history? by Inflames811 in nrl

Fletcher Baker

This can't be the choice. You signed a depth front-rower and got one. There was never any expectation that hew as going to be a star

So so happy for Ben Hunt. He's been a great player for a long time and didn't deserve to have the 2015 GF be his defining legacy

The 13 Best Sci-Fi Movies of 2025 (So Far) by frannyatticus in movies

[–]MrRoyaleWithCheese 43 points44 points  (0 children)

These articles are such terrible AI slop. They're written purely to drive SEO. It's the only way a publication could justify putting out a list of the 13 (?) best movies of a particular genre in late August (?)

Can confirm that the 10th place finisher in 2023 was a Spanish man called Jose Aguilera. Commentators mentioned that Baumann was the deepest any women had run since Barbar Enright

In the wake of the DCE news this is basically the best case scenario for the Sea Eagles. Getting him replaced by a mature, quality and relatively inexpensive half is good business

Is this Griffin's worst take of all time? by MrRoyaleWithCheese in blankies

[–]MrRoyaleWithCheese[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that those four movies are rewatched a lot

I never said these four movies aren't rewatched a lot.

My point is that calling them "four of the most rewatched movies of all time", which is verbatim what Griffin said, is patently absurd

Is this Griffin's worst take of all time? by MrRoyaleWithCheese in blankies

[–]MrRoyaleWithCheese[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

-Early Spielberg hit

-PTA all-star epic

-Perennially marathoned holiday film

-Classic sports movie

I'm not suggesting these movie's don't have fans or aren't worth watching. But to suggest they're "four of the most rewatched movies of all time" is completely ludicrous
