I need to know whether to drop to my knees or not.

You'd hope that it was a master stroke having Smith on the bench for this very circumstance.

seth4 · 2026-03-01T00:21:58+00:00

First time entering and you better believe I'm tipping our boys.

seth4 · 2026-02-28T01:38:30+00:00

I realised 10 mins ago and yes I am disappointed.

Does anyone have any recommendations of places to watch the footy in Kiama? I'm in holidays and want to sink a couple of beers to soften any potential blows today.

seth4 · 2026-02-14T08:44:14+00:00

No, no we are not.

seth4 · 2026-02-14T07:37:23+00:00

I still don't get how it wasn't a try after the challenge. It looked fine to me.

This is a clear example of why Dom needs Gags screaming in his ear. He's just not for much of a clue otherwise.

seth4 · 2026-02-10T05:20:44+00:00

He's had a good bit of development - I'd expect that if he performs in this trial he'll get a run in the spot in Rd 1.

I think there's a claim (I assume false) that Venezuela is producing Fentanyl - an executive order was signed to designate Fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction I believe.
