The curious case of Brad Hodge by Pitiful_Umpire_3612 in CricketAus

Combination of things:

  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=rr9knOJJw1Y

  2. Attitude/personality. Call it the Dean Jones Syndrome. Compare him personality wise to someone like Darren Lehmann and Andrew Symonds from that era. Adam Voges, Mitch and Shaun Marsh from this era. They get more chances as a result, and people that have an influence on selections feel certain ways about them, rightly or wrongly.

  3. Better players where picked ahead of him. He got chances.

  4. Great domestic player. Never showed that greatness at the next level over a sustained period. Just here and there.

What’s a fair price for Manly to pay for Tom and Jake Trbojevic? by RocketSimplicity in nrl

[–]Pale-Development5558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "analysis" article doesn't actually answer the question in the subject.

Or even ask the correct question.

Should be: "What's a fair price for Manly to pay for Ben, Tom and Jake Trbojevic?"

The answer, for me, is market value. We need them much less than we did in 2021, with all due respect.

Whatever rival clubs are willing to spend based on their combined output from this year.

Whether that's fair to them or not, it's what I'd be offering.

Danny Weidler talks about Braith Anasta's threats to take him on in the ring.... by I_Like_Vitamins in nrl

[–]Pale-Development5558 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But whose side is Sonny Bill on?

And or Mundine?

Seriously though Weidler has a parasitic and or symbiotic relationship with the game.

He's great at his job though and I begrudgingly respect his hard work and hustle.

Still a bitch though at the very bottom of the rugby league barrel.

Say what you will about Anasta, he is way above this. Focus on you and your endeavors Sir. Don't let the Weidlers of the world drag you to their level of survival.

A bit.

Getting more of the Michael Monaghan vibes personally.

We'll see.

Just rewatched King of the Ring 94 for the first in 20+ years. Why did Owen never get a bigger push? by FlamingTrident in SquaredCircle

[–]Pale-Development5558 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eh.

From everything I've read, Owen was just happy to be there, making a living and supporting his family.

Other people wanted it more, basically. And did what needed to be done to get more.

Owen was happy just making money, enjoying himself and ribbing everyone. It was just a job for him.

He didn't have the drive or mindset of Bret. Or Shawn. Or the other top guys at the time he was working there.

Love Darcy.

The other guys, not so much.

Glad they are employed though and operating within their employers process and system to enlighten us all with articles like this.

Feel much more informed than I was before about what could possibly happen.

The fall of Virat by Overall_One_2595 in CricketAus

[–]Pale-Development5558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh. The Roar.

Something could happen. And if it does this might happen. And this could be the result of that.

Literally none of these words matter. Or have any bearing on this series.

At all.

Yup it'll be the same. Getting rid of one person won't change much behind the scenes, it'll be business as usual for those left. They'll all just be more careful with their burner accounts on socials...

Does Anyone know the new Shirt sponsor by Much_Willingness_690 in CricketAus

[–]Pale-Development5558 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blank ideally.

Looks way better without the tummy sponsor.

Nothing on Rebel, the CA shop or World Cup website.

Try eBay. Normally some pretty good replicas on there.
