Non Footy Chat Thread II

[hindy111]

Yes AU rugby is on it’s knees. It seems that the junior development pathways that they have is not working. Maybe the kids are opting for league or other sports.

Also I’m going to defend Eddie Jones here. He’s not a shit coach as social media are yelling at him. He led England in a fabulous stint beacuse they had a great squad. Took over AU and they had a shit squad. The results reflect the team had to work with. For some reason the underperforming wallabies are blamless and the coach cops it traditionally.

It doesn’t matter how good a F1 driver you are, if you don’t have the fastest car, you won’t feature at the front of the grid week in week out. Ask Lewis Hamilton.

Nothing one sport goes at breakneck speed the other is as boring as listening to old people tell stories in a nursing home.

He should put them on ignore.

Well, Eddie did give off a lot of troll vibes too during his latest tenure...

Because six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Matt Damon was in Invictus and also Ford Vs Ferrari.

In 1965 Ferrari won the teams championship, but saw that Ford were trying to take them on in Le Man and spent huge cash to try and keep them at bay. In the end they lost both the 1966 Le Man to ford and 1966 F1 to Brabham.

Eddie may as well paint a target on his forehead or learn to keep his mouth shut

Well at least Eddie doesn't throw his players under the bus. He just says "we're all going to go out there and try our best". Journos don't like that, obviously.

They especially don't like it when Jones said things like "none of you blokes think we're any good. It's a pattern that you just write negatively about us every day. None of you guys think we can do any good, so that's all right. The challenge is for us as a group to show you we can, show ourselves we can. Just be the pessimists you are. Keep Australian rugby where it's been, keep it where it's been."

So he made no friends. Kissed no arses. Dug his own grave.

Are you serious? His comment this week about Hooper and the older brigade he omitted from the World Cup squad is the epitome of throwing your players under a bus. As far as I know, Hooper and co. are still active players, it was completely unnecessary and a piss poor attempt to deflect from his own bad decision making.

Hooper took time away from the game in the lead up to this world cup. Then in October made himself available, but after that really only wanted to play Sevens at the Olympics and the odd Barbarians game.

Yeah... I have access to all that shit too. I just realise vaccination status isn't the go-to correlation factor for any death that the conspiracists who can record and upload themselves seem to think it is.

I don't see anything in that article debunking anything....

In my line of work, when something goes drastically wrong, particularly if it happens multiple times, we undertake a root cause analysis and one of the first questions we ask is "what has changed in the environment, has something been introduced/released that we haven't tested thoroughly that could be causing this issue?"

I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask similar questions when things are going drastically wrong with people's health and they are meeting their maker so completely out of the blue...

It wasn't out of the blue at all

‘An alcoholic from the age of 14’: Matthew Perry’s troubled life and foreshadowed death

He called himself a just-add-water addict, hooked on painkillers after a jetski accident. In last year’s shockingly frank memoir, detailing ferocious substance abuse and on-set drinking, he seemed resigned to a young death

Not necessarily referring to the death of our Friend over the weekend.... There's been plenty of others falling off the twig with none of the (prior) addictions said Friend had....
