[Chins get the wins]

That is the benefit of the play in comp for the NBA, Less teams tanking now

They still do. Drafts ruin comps

 

[ColdWetPanther]

The Patriots weren't exactly clean during the dynasty.

The balanced schedule was nullified by Billy B ensuring his division opponents were weak. Six gimme games a year made it easy to get a top 2 seed and a week off in the play offs.

That said still a ridiculous run.

The current Chiefs are also pretty nuts. Four SBs in five years despite shedding serious talent due to the cap.

I’m intrigued by how you think Belichick ensured his division opponents were weak?

He'd manipulate the draft via trades to get teams outside the division to take players before division rivals who also wanted them could.

Didn't happen often due to the Pats usually having a low pick though.

Crazy that people want drafts in sport

On "The Chase" tonight there was a question about Penrith Panthers.
The contestant answered ,Roosters.

So the word "line" is only referring to drugs now?
So all them white things that mark out a footy field will be from now on referred to as "STRIPES", otherwise if a player gets to the line, he might be in trouble.

Absolutely disgraceful punishment for a "word".

I agree. Kenny could also be referring to the boxing day sale line.

I don’t like it but whoever wrote that post knew what they were inferring. They did it to be funny and it has backfired.

All seems a bit nanny state, but that is the Australia of 2023. It should go down as an expensive mistake for Mitch.

I did post that exact possibility when the debacle first hit the headline.
I'm in my 60's and remember being taught that words in the English language have many meanings and context determined what was meant.
Hence, Boxing Day is renowned for shopping lines.

SHAME NRL, SHAME.

Following the woke way of hijacking the English language will only be to their detriment.

Blueing in the middle of the street infront of public - all good.

Posting story with bad context - 1 game ban.

ok.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

I don't mind Kenny getting stood down for a week but its strange that the 2 men having a drunken fight in public only attracts an undisclosed fine. ( under the new terms of the collective bargaining agreement).

Broncos duo cleared for Vegas after being fined by NRL for scuffle

Brisbane’s Adam Reynolds and Pat Carrigan have been issued NRL breach notices for wrestling outside a Fortitude Valley venue.

Then they are allowed to fly to America and represent the game.

 

[ACTPanthers]

That was NOT a fight...

Agree. It was a drunken wrestle.

Serves you right MITCH, next time Cross that white line and score a fkg try, so those English Wigan Pommy Pricks could see it, none of this cant see the ball under all these bodies, can i have another angle please büllshit

Let's take Mitch at his word, and that his friends stitched him up.
If that was me, those friends would have broken noses, and wouldn't be my friends much longer.
You don't f**k with someone's source of income.

Who really gives a f**k what Billy Slater thinks. Is it a coincidence Penrith are lining up against his former club Round 1 and this article comes out?

In my day you just drew dicks with permanent marker on someone's face if they went to the bench early during a bender.
