Yes, many fans will be happy with Sleepy Joe’s somnambulant evasion of anything resembling a talking point. Time will tell how fans will react if he starts losing games and treats everyone to the same level of discourse.

The Roar does have one section for league and one for union. It’s not exactly our fault that the games intersect quite often.

I think Christy is talking about the Skelton injury and how it was handled.

It’s very simple. Take your goat aside and try to explain that sometimes there are articles about multiple sports so they are shared on different sport pages.
I know it’s easy for humans to understand this but do accept that livestock sometimes struggle with the complexity.
It's not un-Australian to cheer against Australia - in fact, in our favourite sports, it is the best option
