Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Newcastle @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

They must have been talking about his suspension, cheers Vic.
I'm hoping everyone are fit and healthy and rip in.
We are still waiting for a full strength team to gel and pull apart the opposition.

Maybe this?

I think they actually draw attention to something they are trying to stamp out.
What are you up to tonight brother?

I was exhausted 5 x 12 hour days, I ended up watching a documentary about the development of World War One aircraft.

It was pretty good as it focused on the tech, didn’t glorify anything. It was a mini arms race.

When the allies came up with double machine guns mounted on the wings above the pilot, that changed a lot.

The Red Baron, many of his kills were unarmed surveillance planes.

We have his boots at the Australian War Memorial, I would repatriate them back to Germany to be honest.

Your life expectancy as a pilot on the average was only 11 days. If you got in 8 hours of training before being sent into combat, you were over-qualified.

The disregard for life and limb was palpable.

Good man. Your nickname for the day is "Scoopy"

Good facts buddy. I like the docos too.
The Spitfire was a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft designed by R. J. Mitchell, and his story is one on mental endurance.
Without his ingenuity, England would have been devastated even more so.

I love the Then and Now slideshows on YouTube, especially WW1 scenes.
They show a battlefield, buildings or soldiers during the war then slowly transition with an overlay of how it looks now.

I can't believe how a person can be so cruel to another, children even.
There must have been a lot of hate in German people who were indoctrinated at a young age to hate and blame the Jewish people for all the German people's problems.

Yeah the holocaust was something else yet again.

“Industrial methods of killing people” as one Soviet general put it who liberated the camps. He couldn’t believe it.

So a lot of Germans copped it for the sins of their leaders.

So it’s healthy to be skeptical of motives of the powerful. A very Australian tradition.

We only have a strong democratic process when people believe in it.

NO, a bit strange, but no news is good news.

I'm sure we all want to see our best possible side for the season out there performing.
I want to see what Luai and Galvin can do after being together for 4 wks non stop.

…do!

Wrong...play like together after 4wks.
You were too quick for my hasty edit.

I'm hopeless at texting

Looks like Nado isn't far away from top grade selection, if needed.

He’s next in line if an injury occurs to our wingers or centres, but he isn’t good enough to replace any of them on current form imo. Before this year I’d say he takes doueihi’s spot but he has impressed me so far

[Vic Mackey]

Huge game for us today. Win and we’ll finish the round between 7th-9th. Lose and we’ll drop into the bottom 4. Ladder positions aren’t overly important at this stage of the season but for a team like us who’s had such little success it means more than most.

 

[WA Tiger]

Win 27 - 12

 

[Tiger05]

I really hope we win today and we do it in style.

 

[Das Hassler]

Ponga and Best are a worry as always but our outside backs *should handle them ok..I think Toa will enjoy his packed old home ground against Best. Gotta quieten that packed crowd ASAP!

 

[Das Hassler]

Win 27 - 12

Ok...so we're leading 20 -8 with 15 to go....field goal to lock it away 21 - 8 then we convert one with 4 minutes to go 27-8 ...they score a consolation unconverted try in the corner at the hooter....that's what you figured?
