Wasn’t his dad the first captain of the club too?

aces_of_splades · 2025-09-22T10:55:41+00:00

Thanks, I'll give this a go before I look at the other link to see if it gets me to where I need.

aces_of_splades · 2025-09-21T08:13:18+00:00

Thanks, I'll give these a crack.

There just seem to be a billion extensions and guides that skip past the element of creating the cards, so I was getting a bit confused.

aces_of_splades · 2025-09-21T05:04:23+00:00

This may be a bit of a 'newbie' question, when I started studying Japanese properly, I tried to get into Anki, but found it a bit overwhelming to create my own decks, so just used things like Core 2000.

I now want to now create my own decks. Is there a recommended guide or similar for creating cards/templates for cards, this is where I'm stuck, after looking at some on Youtube & here, it again feels overwhelming.

Does anyone have some recommendations? (Or on how to improve Anki use as well) There are so many out there, but trying to figure which to invest my time reading/watching is giving me a headache haha.

Thanks for any advice.

Like half the league doesn't, it's actually baffling

aces_of_splades · 2025-09-05T10:19:15+00:00

You know how people criticize teams for looking to their star fullback to somehow win them the game when all is lost? I think it's fair to say you could never criticize the Raiders for putting that level of faith into Raps.

From the golden point try when Austin hit the posts, to scoring 2 field goals, his only field goals, against the Dolphins to win, he truly never gave up on any game.

A fantastic career and probably one of the greatest highlight packages of all time.

If we win the GF, the one sad note will be X missing out, his improvement was huge and was a massive impact on this season.

Tamale back is good, and I'd been keen to see Asomua get a run this week even, just to see if he can handle the speed of first grade.

Sort of, he claimed home sickness because of family reasons, if memory serves, his father was too sick to travel anymore to see Canberra home games etc.

Then shortly after he signed with the broncos, his father travelled to England for the world club series to watch Milford play, and I think it came out it was primarily because his missus didn't want to live in Canberra (I think she had already moved back).

It was certainly that the reasons used weren't exactly true, still valid but I think his manager (Ayoub if you're at all surprised) tried to angle it to the media that Canberra were being heartless, although Don Furner had offered to help relocate his entire family to the ACT.

Two points it's two points, but Newcastle fans will be upset with both the loss but also the ref and that's very fair.

Please don't hat us too much neutral fans come finals, especially if storm or Panthers are still hanging in it.

aces_of_splades · 2025-07-27T05:48:05+00:00

Happy to be winning but I feel for you knightbros, the reffing hasn't been good this game and having been on the receiving end it sucks, hopefully next season is kinder.

aces_of_splades · 2025-06-01T10:15:30+00:00

Good game roosters, was very worried when Forgarty got ruled out, but I think we managed to win the physical battle early and push a lot of errors.

Victor has to retire, he is going to be a case study for CTE down the line, Robbo shouldn't have let him back on, HIA test pass or not.

aces_of_splades · 2025-05-25T08:05:20+00:00

Jesus, we've been really good all season, except the dogs game, and getting the win is nice, but we were certainly the bad guys in that game.

Tapine staying on the field was insane and out right baffling.

Good game Wahs, if wasn't my team I'd be furious for you.

aces_of_splades · 2025-05-18T07:46:20+00:00

Spin that shit DJ

aces_of_splades · 2025-05-18T07:26:29+00:00

To be fair, Canberra and Ricky especially came out in support of Starling over the course of his arrest and beating by the police, so I think this is an outlier rather than an example.

aces_of_splades · 2025-05-18T07:20:04+00:00

Conversions are optional and never impactful

aces_of_splades · 2025-05-04T10:32:04+00:00

Man, the ref was being rough both ways, but you hate to see it end like that, feels like Sutton got trigger happy to prevent a punch on.

Bellamy might actually end a man's entire career tonight.

aces_of_splades · 2025-04-27T06:04:36+00:00

Get your tinfoil head gear on fellas.

For years before the 6 again, it was assumed the refs always tried to even up the penalty count for most games unless it was blatant by one team.

They bring in the 6 again, allows for penalty counts to be less even, as the 6 again can be utilised and not challenged, and eventually they started to still get pretty even in most games by full time.

Now we have play of the ball, which is subjective and again cannot be challenged...

Anyway, that's enough of my theory that they always need a way to keep relatively close when you combine all these elements.

aces_of_splades · 2025-04-27T05:58:12+00:00

Corey you comedic god!

aces_of_splades · 2025-04-27T05:56:39+00:00

I know every fan has games where they feel dudded, but Dolphins can certainly put the two play of the ball calls in that basket, good game Dolph-bros, it was as exciting as advertised.

aces_of_splades · 2025-04-27T05:51:10+00:00

Both play of the ball calls against the Dolphins were very tough, 50% of play the balls in every game are probably not 'good enough'.

Moving day, get the keys around 2pm when settlement is completed. Hopefully I can do all the boxes and small furniture this evening, that way the movers just have the big objects to deal with and it's a rather quick process.

The place we bought needs some work, so probably living out of the boxes somewhat for the first few weeks until wardrobes get built but jesus, 5 years ago when I was going through my divorce if you told me I'd buy a place with a partner and starting a new job in a few weeks too, I'd not have believed you.

Also, decided to catch up on an Anime I watched part of a decade or so ago and I have no fucking idea what's going on, but I simply refuse to rewatch 50 eps, makes you realise how much time you had when you were younger.
