    • RE: The recent troll account

      @Duluth said in The recent troll account:

      It was obvious the guy was trolling quite early on. We were discussing it in the mod area months ago. So I checked his IP addresses etc, that basically confirmed who it was (a mental patient who is obsessed with TSF)

      Why wasn't he banned immediately?

      He wasn't that disruptive but was wasting hours and hours of his life. I enjoyed watching him waste so much time for zero payoff. I think he was hoping for a bigger reaction that never came

      No harm to TSF, most members here ignored his lame crap. He wrote 600+ posts hoping to get a reaction so he could shit on everyone here and he failed

      At least have some humour if you're going to make a troll account. This was just dull.

      Oh well back to the rugby

      Wow, shows how observant I am. I didn't even notice anyone behaving any sillier than usual....

      @antipodean said in Has Hansen gone stale?:

      2011 was cathartic for me. Going back to back in 2015 made me as happy as Test rugby could. If we do the three-peat in 2019, I'd suggest the RWC could be irrevocably damaged.

      Let it burn 🙂

    • RE: Christmas!21

      With no usual visitors from Melbourne to stay over Xmas it will be more quiet.... But the eating starts in earnest tonight, pork belly and picanha on the bbq, then turkey at the in laws tomorrow. Friends for another BBQ on Boxing day, and a NY22 bbq turkey on the 31st. I think I will get a few hand made vodka martinis in there as well.

      Merry Xmas virtual Polish family 🥰

      My next door neighbour has just been diagnosed with COVID-19 and rushed to hospital.

      He's been put on one of the new Dyson ventilators.

      He's picking up nicely now.

      Oh Man! I was typing a reply saying that is a good news story and then realised the thread I was in.

    • RE: NBA Season - now 21/22

      @mariner4life said in NBA Season - now 21/22:

      The fucking Lakers man

      Fuck their roster up. Have no picks. No trade value. Absolutely shit the bed. Miss even the play in

      And yet, somehow, they are going to talk thr Nets in to giving the Kyrie.

      Fuck this franchise. The Spurs are burning it down to start from the bottom. These fluffybunnies just have to wait for shit to fall in to their laps.

      excellent.jpg

      Funny thing is, until they went all in on KD and Kyrie, Marks was trying to build his version of San Antonio in Brooklyn. Character guys, family atmosphere. I wouldn't blame him for trying to hit the home run, but it was high risk and it isn't going to pay off. The Nets are not a desirable trade destination traditionally, he was probably better served trying to build via the draft

    • RE: All Blacks Vs Ireland - 2nd Test

      I want to see us more solid at the breakdown, we need to stop them interfering with our ruck ball.

      I'd like to see us ramp up our defensive intensity, improve our line speed to slow their forward progress.

      And I'd like to see us improve our general kicking game, and cut down errors in our own half

      @Crazy-Horse said in All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test:

      A lot of talk on here early in the match about not seeing anything different from the ABs. That talk died off a bit once we started winning. But did anyone see anything different in the end? I didn't but I couldn't watch closely enough

      I think the difference was the focus and precision. As @BerniesCorner points out they kept possession and didn't give it away with handling errors or penalties when they were rocking it up the field.

      Early days, but it was a big improvement.

      Definitely a start but we have seen performances like that before.

      I was thinking along the line of changes to attacking or defensive structures etc. Might be too early to tell I suppose, but nothing obvious jumped out at me.

      Perhaps they are focussed on doing the basics well for extended periods of time? It was certainly needed.

      I think QT typified our performance. Nothing flashy, calm and understated, fundamentally solid

    • RE: Coronavirus - Australia

      @antipodean said in Coronavirus - Australia:

      @Crazy-Horse I see there are a small number of noisy fucktards clamouring for the State to (again) enforce a practise with no efficacy. These same clowns ignore that a covid statistic categorically does not mean someone died from the virus, rather they died with.

      As of Friday people aged 70+ are 6.4% of the cases and 83.8% of the deaths.

      I could be wrong but after the last two years, I sincerely doubt the public is willing to put up with this bullshit again.

      Is anyone keeping tabs on flu deaths? I don't want to trivialise the death toll, but there are lots of people dying of lots of other things. But it's time to get on with life for everyone else

      @mariner4life said in NRL 2022:

      This was a dull game of two teams bereft of attacking ability

      But you know what? Don't give a shit

      Warriors completed set after set, won the field position, and never looked like losing.

      Great occasion and a great result.

      Love yous bros

      Just watching the replay now. I must admit to getting a little dusty as the boys walked out. Whatever happens during the game it is great to have them back after almost 3 years

      Time 20201107: "In a forceful and eloquent victory speech Saturday night, President-elect Joe Biden vowed to usher in "a time to heal" in America."

      I have a friend in Pennsylvania who tells me that's what she is certain the US public wants - someone who may do their own thing but who shows respect to the opposing viewpoint.

      Biden has had opportunity after opportunity to do just that, but seems determined to copy Trump in ramping up the devise rhetoric.

      I hope that is what they want. And that they aren't kept waiting much longer. But with Trump still sniffing around I can't see it

      @taniwharugby said in All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test:

      assume it was covered earlier in the thread, but why did our coaching box have masks, but the Irish not?

      How good was it seeing our props working as they did, and we contested lineouts, sure a couple on our line the game was already ours, but so good seeing them put someone in the air and disrupt!

      Ofa was out to prove a point and really put down a marker - poss. his best game in Black. Some of his hits were really hurting the Irish pack. Another Test or two like that and he'll have the jersey nailed on.

      I know bugger-all about front-row play, but noticed a drop-off in forward momentum when Karl T came on.

      Our level dropped as the subs came on

      I got offered tickets by a mate. But the Warriors have been so poor I couldn't be bothered. That's sad because some of my greatest live sports memories involve the Warriors at Mt Smart
