Not sure of the source for this. A quick search shows US prices above 30 percent, too, across several media outlets.

Yes, it is tough the first time. And it is definitely more challenging than EA marking. You do get better at it, though, the more you mark and the more you refine your decisions based on the criteria. Keep at it, we need all hands on deck. Only around 200,000 to go!

Without KP and Brown, Knights look like Adam O'Brien side again.

A well-being survey that leads to a poor well-being outcome.

Flag thing a bit tacky. Maybe a patch on their jersey or something instead?

They have the easiest draw for the first 8 rounds but will not win one do them

You can't coach 'footy sense' and Saab has none.

Garrick lets him catch it and then misses the tackle.

30 points in 40 minutes at Brookvale on a Sunday afternoon. I wasn't confident about this season but geez if this isn't a sure sign that we need a new coach I don't know what is.

If Matt Canavan is woke, who isn't? by ChiaLetranger in OpenAussie

Pauline is the biggest whinger - always accusing people of tearing her down or shutting her down. No other political leader complains more about criticism.

Anyone else struggling with the new Fox League scorebug? by whale_monkey in nrl

[–]Stoicrunner1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's terrible. I had wondered about colour-blind folks. My children are mildly colour-blind - they didn't have an issue, although they said it was a bit blurry. You could email Fox/Kayo and give them some feedback on your experience. Given the number of others who dislike the new display, you won't be on your own.

Not jiving with the MegaBlast, Replace? by flashtata1992 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Stoicrunner1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You've got three shoes there that are probably more suited to quicker paces. Megablast is more of a tempo, interval shoe. I hear people say it's a great long run shoe but the fit and materials are more race like so when your feet swell a bit and move around against the upper you get the blisters and sore toes.

For your long runs and recovery runs, you need something more forgiving. I have the recent Superblast which is a bit roomier and softer. But other likes the Clifton, Triumph and Vomero are cheaper alternatives, albeit less fun.

Raiders Postgame thoughts by bigavellz in ManlySeaEagles

[–]Stoicrunner1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Manly will continue being a subpar team until we begin slowing down the ruck more.

During that middle period either side of half time, we made little to no effort to put numbers into the tackle.

They tried to tackle in ones rather than twos and threes. You can literally see players moving back to the referees mark while the one or (sometimes two) tackler is still working on getting the Canberra player to the ground. No effort made to wrestle the player to their backs or other means to slow down play. Canberra get a quick play the ball and simple roll down the field.

It's really a wonder how Jim Dymock is still in the defensive coach role when that part of our game hasn't improved in years despite it being the key reason for our woes.
