@dogmeat Abdul Aziz will win NZer of the Year. Throwing an eftpos machine at a terrorist is far more impressive than deflecting a ball with your cricket bat. Actually throwing an eftpos machine at anything is more impressive full stop.

@jegga It is disturbing, that's what it is.

And here I was thinking IT 2 was going to have the scariest movie trailers in 2019.

Today appears to be the day Hollywood releases trailers for it's two gayest films next year: Top Gun and Cats.

A run, a run! My kingdom for one run!!

The five stages of loss are progressing glacially...

I'm at peace with the game being a tie and that's how it should/will be remembered, not the rule created by an ex-billionaire now spending life in prison for corruption and fraud.

Well the NRL needs to move to Perth but the Queensland league people would throw a hissy fit if it was the Titans relocating to Perth. Relocating to be the second Brisbane club (which was on the cards a few years ago) seems the logical choice.

There needs to be less Sydney clubs so moving one of them to Perth would be ideal but the NSW league people will throw a hissy fit over that too. So guess it's expansion time in the NRL.

i don't get the idea of moving the Titans to Brisbane. There are enough established Brisbane league identities to build off, without importing another club with a failed history that needs to build fans from scratch.

Not relocating the Titans as a whole, just the franchise licence to create a new club. The Tits go the way of the Chargers, Gladiators, Seagulls and Giants.

Can we talk about rugby please?

Not just yet.

Cheating pommy bastard, you're banned from commenting on cricket for at least 6 months.

Fair enough, that will still leave me three and a half years of gloating before we inevitably get dumped out in the first round next time.

Who would want to gloat after a result like that? I certainly wouldn't had NZ been awarded the Cup.

I'd actually feel slightly sick about the result if we'd been the ones awarded the Cup. Thankfully there are some good memories I cxan bask in - like knocking out India in the SF - that is something i will saviour for fucking years

We all know Kane would have declared the match a tie and share the spoils with the English team because he's apparently the reincarnation of Mother Theresa in cricket pads.

@Sneakdefreak My mate's uncle is apparently putting together a new team for Brisbane. Brisbane Bombers.

New training facility and purpose-built stadium I think near the airport. I already have some kit I wear proudly haha OG supporter.

Well they have my support. The Tits are no use to the NRL.

Could see Gold Coast relocating to Brisbane to become a second team there (sharing time between both venues). For whatever reason teams on the Gold Coast don't work.

Bring back the South Queensland Crushers!

I wish that the ICC would declare a shared World Cup for 2019, with sharing of the trophy. We drew through both forms of cricket matches, and had a blatant umpiring error affect the outcome of the match in the crucial last over.

I'm afraid the winner will always be England*.

The only winner in all of this is the Australian media who will have a field day with the "World Champions".
