    Vs Panthers round 16

    Unusually positive coming from me, but I look back at this game now and I'm not too disconsolate about it, despite it looking like a horrendous loss on paper against such a weakened side. Losing Niukore and DWZ for the game was major (yes even if you think DWZ sucks, having to reshuffle and...

    Team v Broncos

    Ben Henry got the W for Bay-Roskill against Te Atatu on Saturday so he's caught at least one break (yes, he still plays)

    3-2-1 v Panthers

    3. Laban 2. CNK 1. RTS Watching at the footy club so only able to half watch and maybe not my most considered selections. Laban seemed an obvious standout to me. RTS some bad moments but some very strong running.

    3-2-1 v Panthers

    DM - MGT for playing like an absolute turnip for 78 minutes and then snatching a little viral moment for the instagram account. His brother Lani was much more impressive 2 weeks ago against Te Atatu.

    2025 Origin 2 - Wed 18 Jun - NSW 24-26 QLD @ Optus

    Look we all know the true MOTM was Capewell and the true fraud is Edwards

    anyway, Spencer certainly played like a racist tonight

    This is just nonsensical though. How do double standards even become involved when talking about completely unrelated things? There’s no connection between being opposed to racism and being an advocate for not driving while intoxicated.

    2025 Origin 2 - Wed 18 Jun - NSW 24-26 QLD @ Optus

    Tedesco is one of the best players of the last decade and Edwards is some bald nobody

    Like, if Leniu thinks that everyone who abhors what he did should ‘keep that same energy’ then logically he should assume that he has beef with everyone. Either that, or he assumes everyone else (particularly those closest to him who presumably support him) is also racist.

    I just don’t see any meaningful difference. If Leniu sees Thurston as having some sort of beef with him, as opposed to just being a normal functioning human being who is opposed to racism, then that shows he completely fails to comprehend the issue. That’s the whole point I’m making.

    How was everything not sweet though? Is there another issue I’m unaware of outside of Leniu being racist and Thurston saying racism is bad? Are we saying that Leniu’s problem was that Thurston continued to do his job in the normal manner?

    State of Origin 2025

    Well this is sort of the issue. The "discussion" with Thurston was aggressively ripping into Thurston because Thurston had criticised him for racial abuse. So like I said, racial abuse, then doubling down on it by responding aggressively (I think that's putting it pretty mildly) to being...

    State of Origin 2025

    Bit of a sidenote but I'm pretty uncomfortable with how Leniu has somehow ended up on the side of the "good guys". Leniu's own journey has basically been lunatic ----> racist ------> bloke who abuses people for calling him out on being racist ----------> back to being the same old lunatic...

    Whadda yez wear to Warriors games?

    I wonder if my 2002 jersey is worth anything. Probably not in a sellable condition but not bad for a 23 year old jersey.

    2025 R15 Sun - South Sydney 18-24 Canterbury @ Accor

    Souths’ attack with a man advantage chasing a 12 point deficit has been horrendous
