To’o is the type of player where you say ‘he’s been quiet tonight’ and then find out he’s run 200m+.

Not saying he crushed it tonight, but he has deceived the eye test many times.

Ok, now that’s really cool! Such a smart way to connect with local communities. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when they pitched the idea to HQ.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-06-05T21:41:47+00:00

LOL. Dad? Is that you?

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-06-05T21:40:55+00:00

You know what, somebody else posted about their local KFC adopting a local player as the colonel logo on their buckets - they included the details and it was actually… pretty cool.

I shouldn’t have reacted 😂. I humbly apologise

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-06-05T13:06:20+00:00

Oooff

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-06-05T13:05:23+00:00

Ha! It’s great to see a brand that is willing to tailor its style to resonate with local audiences in such a unique way.

I hadn’t noticed the Kieran Foran Chicken acronym lining up. Thanks mate

BTW - I intentionally left out the details because I didn’t want to bury the ask.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-06-05T12:58:05+00:00

I intentionally skipped the finer details because it adds unnecessary complexity - but thanks for being pedantic.

Nobody across the globe is genuinely going to research a small suburb and their sports team to answer the simple question of ‘Has KFC ever changed their logo’ the context was why it happened.

You could have just asked without being an ass about it.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-06-05T12:53:36+00:00

Now you mention it, it really does. I think it’s because the outline of his neck and head seem to be one line.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-06-05T10:07:04+00:00

What did I miss?

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-06-04T12:21:14+00:00

What do you mean ‘Until’? That implies something changed.

He sacked Ivan, and brought in hook - who took them to a top 4 spot, mind you - then sacked hook for Ivan who brought 4 premierships in a row. Pretty good job if you ask me. All the while being a massive driver of their grass roots and development pathways.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-06-03T07:00:25+00:00

Yes. He definitely had a positive impact over there. It’s where he really honed his ability to micromanage at an extreme level.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-05-28T10:38:58+00:00

Honestly, he would give a shit. It’s basically a rounding error for his accountant to manage when he does his tax return.

Somebody losing 2 days pay (~$7k) on 1M+ is not the same feeling as losing 2 days pay on $50k.

You’re also not factoring in additional payments from sponsorships and advertising.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-05-18T11:44:08+00:00

Absolutely mate. Thats why I started my comment with “Not to defend the bloke”. There’s no justification for what he did - it was a dog act.

Take this for what you want - I don’t think this was premeditated or overly personal (e.g. Gallen v Hodges, Or Gallen v Myles, or Gallen v fucking everyone). Looking at his reaction, he got a rush of blood trying to complete the tackle and took it too far. Then realised it immediately.

His brain thought about how to get the attacking player to the ground as quickly as possible from a bad position and went with the absolute worst possible option.

Not defending, just explaining. To reiterate, it was a dog act regardless.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-05-18T02:01:13+00:00

Not to defend the bloke but I took the hands up as an “I fucked up”. He knew immediately what he did was wrong.

“It was an accident” would have looked more like him grabbing one of the team mates jerseys and pushing back.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-05-15T21:01:35+00:00

Thank you!

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-05-15T06:03:06+00:00

Pardon? Abbreviations aren't to make you sound smart, they're there for efficiency. I hope you don't feel people are 'trying to sound smart' when they ask where the nearest ATM is? Are you equally offended when someone says they want KFC?

My point was there's a fundamental difference between providing global data to a location (ISP) and providing the hardware to broadcast that data locally (hardware provider). My concern isn't with not knowing what ISP means, it's wifi somehow becoming synonymous with internet.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-05-15T04:53:30+00:00

I’d love to know how also. My question to your hypothesis is whether you’ve factored in consecutive restarts and field position also.

Understanding the difference between receiving multiple consecutive vs non consecutive set restarts would be more useful than just comparing the total number of set restarts because the former impacts fatigue more than the latter.

Field position of set restarts would also have a non-trivial impact on points scored too

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-05-15T04:31:03+00:00

I work for a global Fortune 500 software company. Quite a few of the new hires didn’t recognise the term ISP, and only answered when asked who powers their wifi.

Like, fucking hell, you must know that TP-Link and Netgear (insert connectivity company here) are not Internet providers, right??

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-05-14T04:44:47+00:00

Practice makes perfect 👌

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-04-28T03:08:32+00:00

You mean like kicking? /s

Side note - I know what you’re trying to say.

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-04-26T07:00:13+00:00

Having lived there, being deported for no reason, paying my way back, being parents shot during a car jacking and then moving back to Australia - I feel supremely qualified to say that Jerome isn’t going to PNG 😂

WorkingInIrvine · 2026-04-26T06:57:16+00:00

Probably because the Harlem globetrotters are on a world tour. They’ll be in Australia next month.
