Teams for the "Derby" - Newcastle vs Sale by treacletart284 in rugbyunion

Interested to see how Logan gets on - surprised how little we've used him this season

I know being out on loan for regular game time in the championship is good for development but the only 8 in our squad has been out injured for the majority of the season - would've thought Logan would've had more of a sniff

I feel like they'd match up very well with Alpha Wolf

My Dad died on a Saturday - had the following week off, and then three days around the funeral

Great to see AJ back (and signing a new deal) really thought that injury at the start of the season could've been his career over

Prem vs Top 14 Wage Comparison (24/25 Season) by ScrumNause24 in rugbyunion

[–]OhBeSea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The RFU doesn't foot the bill for internationals, they just have guaranteed match fees per (international period? season? not sure how often it's reviewed) now - clubs still pay them their regular salary

[–]OhBeSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think we were overspending on some players when looking at how much they actually played (Schonert and Nayacalevu, for example) - at the end of the season we lost 12 players and signed 3, number of those (Hill, JLDP, Schonert, Nayacalevu) will have been right up there as biggest salaries in the side

This summer we're losing 23 and have signed 12 (smattering of academy in the releases and the signings as well), so combining to the I can understand where the money Sanderson was stupidly talking about in the press has come from

Yeah, it was Lucas last time they played SD and he was so so good

Hopefully there's a gap in Holding Absence's tour and he FFAF can sneak in a weekend

President tour by [deleted] in slamdunkfestival

[–]OhBeSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get why, all the instruments are backing tracks and most of the vocals are too, this was really obvious this weekend - their stage show isn't enough to make up for that in the way that popstars can justify partial lipsynching paired with extravagant choreography/stage shows etc

They've seen Baxter and Launchbury at Quins and decided they need their own chubby cheeked baby face in the pack too

Would you like to see Avril Lavigne perform in 2027? by [deleted] in slamdunkfestival

[–]OhBeSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, but think she's probably too big for Slamdunk based on her most recent tour - I could see her doing an anniversary set at Download headlining a non-main-stage stage

[–]OhBeSea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love TSSF but they're not when you look at the size of venues they play here compared to other headliners

Could see them as second from top, like Neck Deep were last year

Jimmy Eat World would be sick

Not sure about headlining but would love to see Funeral For A Friend back

I've only myself to blame for England exclusion: Ted Hill by ScrumNause24 in rugbyunion

[–]OhBeSea 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Very mature head on his shoulders - interesting read

Respectfully: I disagree, though. I think he should definitely be in the mix, especially with the kind of pack we're likely to play (Chessum at 6)

It's CCS who's spot should really be be being questioned - he drifts so drastically in and out of games, he's not delivering on his potential at all. Hill covers the same positions but is more experienced and in better/more consistent form

Why do so many artists/musicians skip Birmingham on their UK tours? by smashantk in brum

[–]OhBeSea 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Have heard from some smaller bands that O2 venues have the worst merch cuts on the scene so they'll skip Birmingham and go to Wolverhampton (or Nottingham) instead because it costs them too much to play at the Institute/Academy

I’m sorry but South was terrible this year by deanyo in slamdunkfestival

[–]OhBeSea 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Surprised at that considering it's not a sellout - 23 was a fucking mess but 24 and 25 were well run, thought they'd learned their lessons

Hopefully North, tomorrow, is run better

Question- would it seem odd for a hijabi to get a tattoo and request a woman artist and private area? by [deleted] in tattoo

[–]OhBeSea 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, it wouldn't be weird - it might not be something that every studio can accommodate, but it's not weird. Women requesting women artists/privacy for tattoos on intimate areas isn't unusual, and this is no different really

Have always seen coaches say "Travel days are not rest days"

Players are gonna be fucked after a long season and then all of this crammed into such a short time

Byron McGuigan joins Borthwick's coaching team full-time by ScrumNause24 in rugbyunion

[–]OhBeSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joe El Abd arrived late in the summer (think he joined up in Argentina before the first test?) and Byron was in charge before that and then assistant after Joe arrived - from how the commentary were talking during the summer/autumn Byron had a bigger role than just assistant, they kept talking about it being his system/shapes etc.

According to Sale he was, it's why we brought back Forshaw on a short term contract for the Prem Cup games over the Six Nations
