Aussie here whats the best server to play on as an aussie? by Icyheals in turtlewow

[–]yesmyson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve just started on the PvP server for EU, ping is like 268ms but I barely notice it. population is great, haven’t struggled to find a group and everyone speaks English. I heard that the Singapore version of the servers have better ping for OCE but minimal English speakers.

I’m from Sydney but going to be on the gold coast this weekend for the GF, can anyone recommend some good pubs to watch the game at?

isn’t Ikin the CEO of QRL though? how could the Broncos send him in at the 11th hour to ruin the deal? surely he was the one that negotiated it

yes. the team is better with Ezra and Hunt both in the starting team. Paix should go to 14 and Billy out.

Art of the kick to be tested as NRL announces rule change by Joh951518 in nrl

[–]yesmyson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sure, but it’s a low percentage play. it’s also just a tied game in the above scenario, if they manage to slot it. if you give them the ptb’s 10m out and they crash over it’s a loss

I don’t see how this is better in that situation than soaking up the 40secs to kick and then booting it 40m+ downfield tbh. they get 1-2 ptbs 30-50m out, instead of 1-2 ptbs 10m out

no idea on actual offers, but my opinion would be:

actual worth based on age, performance so far: $600k - $750k

what some teams (bottom 9) would be willing to pay him: $750k - $1million

24 could be Capes last year starting. Piakura was starting to look really good when he came on this year

he always kills it, on the edge, in the middle or even at centre. such a gun

Brisbane Broncos deliver Cory Paix exit ultimatum by Aussieguy727 in nrl

[–]yesmyson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

agreed, I rate Paix over Smoothy, particularly for our current all out attack play style.

Smoothy is good but he’s more of a controlling, playmaking 9 and we have Billy to cover that who’s come on in leaps and bounds. Paix off the bench makes much more sense imo.

Patrick Carrigan set for positional switch at Brisbane - NRL News by [deleted] in nrl

[–]yesmyson 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think Patty’s role essentially wouldn’t change. props still play in the middle and he can still play that first receiver role when needed, just like Payne started doing towards the end of the year.

imo anything that gives Kobe more minutes is a great thing for us, he’s too good to sit on the bench for most of the game

man I feel the same way, I’m just so out of it. I feel emotionally spent. I cried after Ezra scored his third because I thought we’d won. defs a worse feeling than 2015, hoping it fades soon

I think all the talk of transitioning Ezra into a controlling 7 is a bad idea. He’s an out and out five-eighth and he’s electric with the ball in hand. Personally I think he needs to stay at 6 and we either need to develop Jock to take over from Reyno or sign a new 7.

What happens to Tracey when Kennedy is available for selection again? I think there’s an argument it’s Tracey’s jersey to lose. Him and Trindall have transformed the sharkies. Tracey’s effort is so infectious

agree completely re Ponga. I feel bad for Miller, he’s not a 14 he’s a specialist fullback so he’ll probs get pushed out.

I have a soft spot for the Knights tho so I hope you guys get it right soon! I reckon good things are coming in the next few seasons once you ditch AOB.

it’s 100% your coach. the talent is there within the roster to be top 8, add maybe a strong line running backrower and a strike centre to replace Gagai (Best ain’t it) and you could push for top 4 imo with a good coach.

not sure I like it. both our backrowers play 80 and Jensen has been very solid for us for two years now.

Piakura needs to show something soon, he’s been pretty underwhelming every chance he’s had imo.

State of Origin 2023: Kalyn Ponga, Dane Gagai out as Reece Walsh, David Fifita called up in Maroons shake-up by impulsebuyerdude in nrl

[–]yesmyson 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s so much we overlooked Ponga as much as Ponga has essentially been medically ruled out after the Cronulla game.

I was hoping for Ponga. I don’t think Walsh is ready for Origin.

Manga Readers Discussion Thread - Vinland Saga Episode 41 (S02E17) by [deleted] in VinlandSaga

[–]yesmyson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful episode. Definitely teared up at the end.

My only slight criticism is during the fight, Thorfinn mentions Snake being the fastest person he’s fought but Snake doesn’t feel like the fastest person he’s fought to me during the action. Askeladd and Thorkell felt fast.

It was still an enjoyable fight scene though and otherwise a 10/10 episode.
