After last Sunday's game between the Dragons and the Storm, I wrote on The Roar's live coverage that I thought Tyrell Fuimaono was hard…
There has been an anomaly in the allocation of NRL competition points since the introduction of the golden-point win. New game results were added…
I have replied to this but it has disappeared. Check it out later.

The Dragons will need to play with the heart of our little girl Abbey to have any chance.

Was Tim the Enchanter the owner of the killer rabbit? When Dexter died aged ~six (he had a heart murmur and should’ve been on medication) our little girl Abbey was sad and lonely without her mate. We got Walter from JRRA as a replacement companion for Abbey. Walter had a growth removed from his leg and had bent front legs so he was unfit and overweight. So he was our ‘big boy’ to partner our little girl. Abbey liked him but didn’t lick him all over as she did with Dexter. Dexter was a lovely boy and so is Walter. I miss Abbey and Dexter.
The Meaning of Life was great except for Mr Creosote.

PVL gave us the two referees that ruined the 2019 grand final.
He also gave us the restart rule that has resulted in the boring blowouts. Why was it important to speed the game up?
The RL world cup won’t have these unnecessary changes.
Listing the players who have ignored the law has nothing to do with PVL and is no reason for their union to be ignored.

Our neighbours of 30 years, Sharks fans, had blueys and we had Jacks and a Kelpie. They’re part of the family but they don’t live long enough.

I can relate to that. I have clear memories of the pink mattress as I floated down onto it. I played on all year getting knocked out.

Greg, I’ve replied to this twice but it has disappeared for some reason. It will appear tomorrow after it passes inspection.

We got our last three dogs from Jack Russell Rescue Australia so they were all neutered and of estimated age when we got them. Walter was named Eddie but as our little girl was Abbey we changed it. Walter is a friendly dog and grabs visitor’s leg with his front legs and goes through the motions with his little xxxx. When JRRA found him he had a huge growth on his back leg and they paid for his surgery and put him up for adoption a few months after our lovely boy Dexter passed away. JRRA also rescued our superb little girl Abbey who was in the Griffith pound and about to be put down the next day. She passed away a few months ago and Beryl and I were very sad but we had her for eleven years and we were lucky to have her as our baby girl. Abbey loved Dexter and they lived in our big back yard with two metre high colour bond fences and cement haunching so they never got out. We thanked JRRA for saving her.

My good friend of sixty years is a doctor and he has told me I should refrain until my three necessary surgeries are complete. Damn Covid19 has put them all on hold for the time being.

The two little JRx terriers in my profile picture are dead but my third dog I call Biggus.

The Olympic Games, Wimbledon, The Wallabies and French Rugby are all playing but not the Kangaroos. They should be called the Cats thanks to PVL. What has PVL done for the game? He has given us the N tackles or Restart rule with it’s boring blowouts. Thankfully this has not been taken on by the IRL. Why do the NRL get such poor administrators? We still have David Gallop’s Golden Point. I think the problems come about because our drug of choice is alcohol, the drug of violence.

You always know you’re going to get good value from NZ rugby players. We’re lucky Australia has a nice warm climate.
International Rugby League's glorious and defiant future without NRL stars starts now
It is played in four countries but it would be more accurate to call it a state / county / provincial game as it is not played everywhere in the countries where it is played. It is played in Perth and their competition is bigger than any Victoria competition and I would put a team there. Melbourne has a team but it hasn’t made much impression in the birthplace of Australian football. Rugby League is the game of the convict states, well two of them anyway. RL only took off in places where Rugby Union was bigger than a university student drinking game. RL in Australia owes it’s existence to an All Black who told Giltinan and Trumper about the game he saw in Northern England. If not for that meeting Australia would be a Rugby Union powerhouse with more than the two world cups we have won. How many have NZ won?

RL is an international sport. Where is AF played? AF is a great game but is it played anywhere else other than Nauru? .

Basketball and Cricket may be huge World/British Commonwealth ball games but they are not body contact sports. Aussie Rules is popular and is a fast game because they can’t tackle around the legs and aren’t allowed to run more than 10 metres without kicking, handballing or bouncing the ball. The rugby codes are full body contact sports where possession is important but include kicking and passing and are played outside Australia on rectangular fields. AF is only played on cricket grounds that are usually much smaller than the MCG. Are these world AF competitions played on rectangular grounds? The AF games played here on rectangular fields weren’t great spectacles. AF is an Australian peculiarity that has failed to take off in NZ, PNG and the Pacific Islands. India have plenty of cricket grounds so there may be a chance to flourish there.

When J.J.Giltinan and Victor Trumper started Rugby League in Australia they included the first Kangaroo tour to England to play the Northern Union at the end of the season. This was an important step in making it one of Australia’s most successful Sporting Brands. PVL and Adbo don’t want a team in Perth or Adelaide because Melbourne has been a failure in turning rusted on AF fans to the greatest game of all.

Funny you should say that. Ken Kearney the St.George captain-coach from 1953-1955 and 1957-1961 told his players that they were like circus clowns, there for our entertainment.

Melbourne are a super club made up from the Western Reds, the Adelaide Rams and the Hunter Mariners. St-George-Illawarra are a joint venture of the red and white teams. They weren’t underdogs.
The Storm are annoyingly good as 9 grand finals since 2006 demonstrates.
When Saints won eleven in a row it was their fans who were accused of arrogance. Those were the days.

I’d love to see an all-shire grand final but if it ever happens I’d put money on the Sharks beating the Dragons in Golden Point.

They have a reserve grade team to cover injuries.
