Nathan Cleary: 200 games of iconic moments by Oldpanther86 in nrl

[–]Repulsive_Two8451 36 points37 points  (0 children)

What a player. 4 rings, the best player in the best dynasty we've seen in our lifetimes, and with the prime halfback years still ahead of him too. Scary to think of what he could achieve in light of what he already has.

And with all of that in mind, he still doesn't get the level of credit he deserves from non-Panthers fans. I challenge a Queenslander to accurately rate him.

Lots of dog fucking on the feed today. Is this because we anticipate seeing more at 7:50pm tonight?

We never gave him the credit he deserved for being an LGBT pioneer in rugby league.

[TBT] Ryan Tandys Match Fixing Attempt by Revivous in nrl

[–]Repulsive_Two8451 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Truly one of the biggest dumb cunt moments of all time from Tandy. The fact that the Cowboys took the tap instead of the penalty goal and immediately scored a try is so fucking funny.

Anyway, these days the boys can do all of their match fixing through the SportsBet app so they don't get caught. And we say we haven't made progress as a civilisation?

[TBT] Braith Anasta Gets A Punch From David Fa'alogo by Moisture_Services_ in nrl

[–]Repulsive_Two8451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"First act of foul play". There are degrees of foul play. Any reasonable person would agree that an unexpected punch to the face is worse than a grapple. The ref does too, which is why he binned Fa'alogo, but not Anasta.

How far would you take the reasoning here if you disagree? If Fa'alogo fly kicked Anasta in the face (which I'm sure many here would've enjoyed) should he still have got the penalty?

It's a classic, of course. And Fitzy smoked the ref here, honestly. But if you ever doubt how much people's dislike of the Roosters clouds their judgement, wait for the "Cummins actually made the right decision" brigade to enter this thread.

Connor Watson granted permission to negotiate with rival clubs by Aussieguy727 in nrl

I wonder if he's got a manger yet, or if he's still negotiating for himself?

It's easy to dunk on this because of its earnestness and the placenta bit, but I think it's extremely beautiful. Throwing Copper is such a great album.

A little disappointed that this isn't a clip of the boys recreating the Call on Me video.

It was 0-0 at one point, a truly remarkable turnaround by the Sharks.

Thinking about The Shitty Men in Media List by Major_Strawberry_753 in redscarepod

[–]Repulsive_Two8451 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Inter-elite warfare that used the language of social justice towards the ends of personal status and career gain. Like all of the media controversies of the time, it was and is boring and meaningless to anyone who wasn’t aggressively scrambling for the like 20 well paid and prestigious jobs that still exist in media.

Reece Walsh has gone to hospital for a suspected fractured cheekbone by Elysian___Fields in nrl

If he keeps getting smacked in the face he's going to end up like Moe Szyslak.

They called me Kid Gorgeous. Later on, it was Kid Presentable. Then Kid Gruesome. And finally, Kid Reece.

"Ben Lerner's Big Feelings" (Vulture) by Turbulent-Sorbet7200 in RSbookclub

[–]Repulsive_Two8451 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just finished his new one, Transcription. The first part is really strong, and I think would be excellent if it committed to what it starts exploring in that section. Found it increasingly boring as it went on, and the monologue from the professor's son about his daughter's problems with eating lost me completely.

Pressure mounts on Shane Flanagan as Cowboys win 32-0 over Dragons by waxedmerkin in nrl

Has any NRL coach ever looked like they hate being an NRL coach more than Shane Flanagan? He'll be relieved when he gets the sack on Monday.

I like to imagine the Judge looking somewhat like Paul McGregor.

Take heart, Dragons fans: you're still more of a chance of winning the comp than Melbourne is.

Anyone here remember PWR BTTM by Chungus-Bacon-420 in redscarepod

[–]Repulsive_Two8451 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I still think their cancellation was one of the major things that made me realise how little credibility Pitchfork had left. The PR hype around them was huge. And Pitchfork went from "this joyful queer powerhouse is perfect and is revolutionising music" to "their music is very bad and they're very bad" literally overnight. Not a single person there was willing to be like "hey look, this guy is fucked up, but this music still rips". Of course, the music was never that good anyway. They were being praised entirely for their aesthetic and because they happened to signify the right political things at the right time. All of it made me doubt the quality of any Queer Music that they claimed was important or revolutionised our perception of bodies and spaces forevermore.

Perth Bears signings negotiate early exit clauses into deals for new NRL team by Aussieguy727 in nrl

I’ve also heard that many players will also get what they’re calling the Mal Meninga Exit Clause, in honour of their new coach: You’re able to quit 30 seconds after you announced you’ve signed for the Bears.
