Raiders. But they're just depressing this year ...and their forum is not nearly as entertaining as the Sharks at the moment. :lol:.
I'm sure that the Sharks are channelling old Monty Python skits

no buts .Raiders. But they're just depressing this year ...and their forum is not nearly as entertaining as the Sharks at the moment. :lol:
PS - its not like I even have a grudge against your mob - other than they keep beating us. All this scandal sh*t would be much better if it was Manly, Easts or the Broncs.
:crazy::crazy::crazy:
Deadset... what next?
Surely the logic of someone terminally ill donating so extravagantly had to be questionable ... that had to be clutching at straws or akin to believing in Santa.
and the chick on Deal or no deal should be shot too.
Incredible. I have no idea how to make any sense of this either way so I'm just hoping we win the next game.
Now what we really need is some bastard to come on here and says "See, I was just waiting to tell you I knew this..."

Just thinking about a few things:
I'm struggling to see how it all adds up, unless the guy was independently wealthy via his family or something.
- the guy is 27-28 and supposed to have about a year to live
- the disease he has (Shy-Drager Syndrome) has a life expectancy of 7-10 years from onset of symptoms
- therefore he's had the foresight to take out a sh*tload of life insurance by about age 20
- term life insurance for $13.8m taken out at 20, according to the Suncorp premium estimator, is about $1,240 a month.
- It would take about $20k of gross income to pay for that.
- That is a fair chunk of any 20 year old's wages. Not sure many 20 year olds would be thinking that far ahead.
- He is said to be a law student - and would have been sick and probably unable to work for a number of years, I expect, so hardly likely to have been earning much
- Hopefully he took out the insurance before he had any inkling of his illness. If not and he hasn't declared it to the insurer, chances are the policy will be void.
- I would expect any life insurer to demand a pretty extensive medical before agreeing to provide that sort of coverage amount.
Hey, I don't want to gloat but:
No inside or local knowledge I can assure you. Just my finely tuned bullsh*t detector at work. Just remember the old adage - if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
You should be shot for watching Deal or No Deal.
Go outside and give yourself some uppercuts.

WTF ?
You were not even close.
Close enough in the sense that I called it as bullsh*t before it went to crap today in the media.
