    Yes. But it doesn't, which is the point.

    Okay. Look on the bright side. You made me only half watch the cricket :)

    Western Corridor NRL bid

    Points that bother Johnsy explained. 1) "None of the Sydney clubs are built on a flood plain" -> translation for your benefit, none are built on comparable flood plains. Proof: If we had comparable floodplains you could quote me a dollar figure in the ball park of the 2 billion of the 74...

    Western Corridor NRL bid

    It is about sustained rainfall I'm afraid. After extensive rainfall over a sustained period the water table becomes saturated. The odd downfall here or there (one days worth) isn't the problem in Sydney but it is the straw that breaks the camels back in Queensland . That is why you won't be...

    Queensland at it's best

    It is called balance Loudy!

    Western Corridor NRL bid

    You haven't made an argument Johnsy. You have agreed Brishane is built on a flood plain and has been flooded (in an extraordinary way) twice in 37 years. Apparently there was a flash flood in South Sydney in 1986. I don't remember it because the infrastructure damage was obviously trivial...

    Wrong about what? The argument is about the future of Queensland and with it Queensland rugby league. So far you have made ad hominem attacks, and diverted from the argument about the semantics of what constitutes climate (when the use of license was clear).

    It is time to jettison Queensland clubs, not add more clubs with no future!

    I know what you wrote, and I also know a man who is clinging to semantics. You know full well what was meant :)

    Western Corridor NRL bid

    You claimed the rainfall that occurred could have happened "anywhere" (read NSW). From a rainfall perspective you are claiming the climate is similar or the same, and it just aint so :) You seem to be agreeing with me, so why are you seemingly annoyed with me?

    Queensland at it's best

    According to news reports (SMH) looters have been tying up police resources in Brisbane and Ipswitch. Australians love patting themselves on the back.

    Let's see. The Bears of the nineties would make me a 20 year plus follower of rugby league. League is approximately 100 years old. 20/100 x 100 = 20% of the history of league. Please explain the 10 minutes. No doubt it would be as sensible as the rest of your emotional responses.

    The goal posts washed away when they built the infrastructure on the flood plains! So Brisbane is not on a floodplain (washed away twice in 37 years)? The land has not been mismanaged? Try googing "topsoil in Queensland". As for the Queensland and NSW having the same climate, you are deluded.

    I'm sorry pal, but I'm 5 mins from Bear park and 5 mins from North Sydney Leagues. The Bears will be back. You should be grateful that the Ipswitch bid is dead. I was there back in the days of pigdog, the flo, Billy Moore, Gary Larrrrsssssoon.

    Western Corridor NRL bid

    Johnsy It is about infrastructure, not lives. The deaths of 12 people/ 6 people etc are trivial in the scheme of things (not for their families obviously but from national perspective). Our rainfall patterns are nothing like what has caused the current flooding in Queensland, combine that...

    Western Corridor NRL bid

    Queenslanders will have to flee South, quite possibly becoming Bears' fans as they move to higher ground. At least North Sydney oval has decent facilities. A football stadium should provide a football ground not a swimming pool. As I write this, Bear park is bathed in sunshine with a...

    Western Corridor NRL bid

    It is quite consistent Johnsy. I stated the future of Queensland, and therefore Queensland rugby league is in doubt. I have taken the side of the argument that the future of Queensland is bleak, based on an appeal to authority RE climate science. Brisbane and Ipswitch are built on a flood...

    Central Coast Bears - Stand Aside

    A 45 minute drive is a 24 hour swim! Any Ipswitch team is dead!

    The journey of 15000 posts begins with a first post! Pondering the future of Queensland rugby league is going to be fairly topical whether you like it or not!

    Don't rebuild Brisbane only for it to be washed away again. I suppose these people could be our first climate refugees. The partial rebuild will be most interesting.
