Fittler just dislikes Klemmer though.
Klemmer was summarily dumped from NSW when Fittler became the coach.
Klemmer's future at Knights clouded after being stood down for disciplinary breach
Agreed.
It’s a joke he has a one week suspension for a flying coathanger.
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again…we are only a few years away from actual weaponry being allowed onto the field if they are giving this type of thuggery a week.

Paul Gallen claiming that at the start of the season it wasn’t a send off offence was some amazing playing of it down tbh

Cat,
That seems to be far, far too obvious.

Ridiculous.
You exercise your own personal and community responsibility. Wear a mask if you want.
The government can’t win. If they told you to wear a mask, you’d be up in arms that they are mandating it.
Now you guys are upset that they aren’t mandating it?

You are an interesting duck
You were one of those people insisting that the government can’t tell you what to do, and now you are angry that they aren’t telling you what to do.

It’s madness because he isn’t a team player.
he puts his personal (and frankly ridiculous) beliefs above the collective of his teammates.
I wouldn’t play with him.

It’s not feasible to conduct regular tournament given the Canada’s weather.
A ridiculously poorly thought out stereotype.
Summers in Ontario, Alberta, BC, Manitoba etc are no different to any summer in England. In fact, far warmer.
Maybe you should actually go to these countries instead of just presuming it’s perpetual winter.

My reference to culture was to simply get people to understand the enviroment their born and grown in.
They are born and raised in Australia. You can’t import aspects of another culture that are fundamentally incompatible with the laws here.
You wouldn’t be supportive of a Muslim wanting Sharia law “because that’s their culture in Saudi Arabia”. No, you’d be telling them what the state of play is in Australia.
Bottom line – you are just defending Christianity as a safehouse for bigotry. That’s all.

Hindu’s frown on gambling eh?
Considering the rampant gambling on cricket in the country, I reckon they’ve turned that frown upside down.

I remember having an argument with the priest in high school about why Judas was given such a hard time.
If it was God’s will that he would betray Jesus, it’s seems harsh to beat up on a guy that really didn’t have a choice.
If he didn’t betray Jesus he would either have violated God’s will, or indeed proved there was no God there and then. Jesus planned to die for our sins that day and the plan was contingent on Judas betraying him…and yet people are angry that Judas betrays him!?
It just seems to harsh to criticise a guy as a traitor when his betraying of Jesus was fundamentally conditional to the plot. If Judas doesn’t betray Jesus, Jesus lives…and Jesus wanted to sacrifice himself.
Yet another plot hole in the story.

Hold up…that contradicts your other posts.
If you are boycotting because of cultural reasons because the “culture” outlaws homosexuality, that is homophobic.
If you support those laws, that is homophobia. Plain and simple.

I’ve never once said that the players should be forced to wear the jersey.
No sensible person has. The survey is asking a flawed question.
A better question that would have received a different response is whether “should they wear the jersey”.
And laws change. People evolve. Evidently not these people.

Excuses! 😛
Age is a great leveller in squash if have you a good eye and read for the play.

Move to Singapore! $6.50 an hour here.
But yes, the real estate for squash become prohibitively expensive to justify having just two people using that amount of square footage for an hour in Sydney.
Bondi and Willoughby have some courts as does a suburb in the shire. But you pay dearly for it. $35-40 an hour there.
It is a tough viewing sport, so it was always going to suffer when tennis exploded in the 80’s to the mega millions it provides in cash.
The new two way glass courts are great, but they’ll never get to play in front of anymore than a couple of thousand people .

I heard it was a Chinese sub that picked up the deal, and is now currently being reviewed by Harold Holt.
