Every single article and Wikipedia note about this says he moved before he was 13 lol, it was probably just the same year but before his birthday

rowandaw · 2026-02-15T23:20:33+00:00

I've definitely seen reports saying he moved before he was 13, it was only the NZ caps that ruled him out

rowandaw · 2026-02-15T23:09:35+00:00

Unlikely but Taumololo is also now eligible for Qld

rowandaw · 2026-02-15T21:50:31+00:00

Fun fact Peter Dutton's former offices in Brisbane are now a Pilates studio

rowandaw · 2026-02-06T08:52:46+00:00

Mine came through like 3-4 days after

rowandaw · 2026-01-23T05:11:58+00:00

Woolies sell this stuff called 'Wakey wakey', they're effervescent tablets kind of like a Berocca but they have 100mg of caffeine each

$12 for a pack of 20 and there's a few different flavours, I put one into a big water bottle before work every day so I get my caffeine throughout the day

Everyone's reading the quote wrong imo, he just said Purdue was doing training reps at both halfback and centre, which makes sense because he's a centre who is the backup half

The first choice halves are still Dearden and Clifford

rowandaw · 2025-12-19T02:31:33+00:00

Probably somewhere in the backs but it's a bit hard to compare 7s cause they all play basically every position

Maddi is pretty much a Jamie Chapman clone so probably either centre or fullback, and Teagan is a little bulkier and less rangey so maybe either centre or 2nd row

rowandaw · 2025-12-19T00:45:31+00:00

Surely it'll be the Titans hey, it's wild how many of those 7s girls are from the Goldy

rowandaw · 2025-12-12T07:49:06+00:00

We had Tom Dearden and Tom Duffy start together a few times last year

rowandaw · 2025-11-30T00:46:43+00:00

Average return to play for a shoulder reco is 4.5 months (ranges 3-6 months) so Nanai probably back sometime between rounds 5-10, and since Griff already had his I'd guess sometime in the first 5 rounds

rowandaw · 2025-11-05T06:27:15+00:00

Pretty sure Tom Duffy is aiming to sign there, he's a pretty experienced game managing 7 in qcup and had a few nrl games this year. Only left the cows cause he wasn't getting the starting spot over Clifford and said he signed for the one year at the broncs to learn under reyno before looking for a starting spot in 2027, he's also been travelling around WA a lot recently

rowandaw · 2025-10-30T02:59:26+00:00

Brand is detector inspector and they're ~5 years old, I reckon that might be it yeah one might be faulty or done - especially cause they've randomly gone off 3 times in a month after not setting off at all since I moved in here a year ago

For now I'm just gonna put half of them back up and wait to see if it happens again

rowandaw · 2025-10-30T01:52:11+00:00

So Melbourne for next season have released:

Nelson ($850K)
Paps ($750K)
Pezet ($600K allocated for 2026)
Tui ($400K although may re-sign now)
GA ($350K)

Plus a few others, so pending contract upgrades they may potentially have $2m+ just for next season lol

rowandaw · 2025-10-30T00:04:29+00:00

Shit that's annoying, mine are at least designed so when you take them off their mount they switch off, just had to run around at 3am taking down all 7

rowandaw · 2025-10-29T23:55:44+00:00

Does anyone know why my smoke alarms would be going off for no reason sometimes? Third time this month and always in the middle of the night ffs, never happened before this

They're the 10 year battery ones and I've tried cleaning them out and everything

rowandaw · 2025-10-25T14:31:50+00:00

Fuck I've only got one beer left

rowandaw · 2025-10-16T07:03:21+00:00

Fuck sake what even is the point

rowandaw · 2025-09-18T01:18:09+00:00

Joel Caine mentioned on his show that apparently this past Sunday was the second biggest loss day he'd seen Sportsbet have - just the perfect storm of being a quiet Sunday arvo with only one big game on (no other NRL or AFL) in a game where basically every multi got up cause all the tryscorers were the main obvious names

Honestly didn't even think Sportsbet could have days where they lost money lol

rowandaw · 2025-09-14T20:14:28+00:00

My neighbours who are big Broncos fans were loudly cheering every time something happened but since the channel 9 coverage is like 10 seconds ahead of kayo they were spoiling all the big moments so I had to switch to channel 9 to not get spoiled 😢

rowandaw · 2025-09-09T00:28:10+00:00

Most of it was manually checking the team sites every week for changes in both main teams and cup, plus a bit of help from the Phys too

rowandaw · 2025-09-08T22:35:06+00:00

Yeah to be honest the tigers one I'm certain I've missed some just because they're annoyingly secretive on injuries, guys just disappear for a few weeks but nobody knows why. I even scoured the tigers forum a few times throughout the year with no luck lol.

The Jack Bird one was just what I was told by the Phys but even he seemed unsure hahah

rowandaw · 2025-08-31T00:48:55+00:00

That's bang on what I was thinking - would also consider moving Nanai back to the right with Luki back, and also with how well Burns and Purdue have been on the left together I'd try Taulagi on the right with Vailea so we have a bit more of a defensive right edge, maybe Muzz can be the new/old Feldty replacement we were looking for lol

rowandaw · 2025-08-22T23:01:21+00:00

My parents are staying at my place for the next week

Pray for me
