Rumours and Stuff

I though he did considering his potential in that position based on 2017 form on the wing, and the lack of other contenders - Gutho injured, Hayne fat and unfit.
For 2019 no I think he did lose the right but IF given a chance it needs to be for min 4-6 games. Personally I would go with Gutho or Norman depending on trial form and training intensity

IMO, French no more lost the right to be our fullback in 2019 then Mennings did to be one of our centres, Moses did to be our halfback and Norman did to be our number 6.
The only backs we have for 2019 who performed with anything resembling a pass mark in 2018 were Gutho and Gennings and possibly Jaemon for the short amount of games he played (and given the circumstances of where we were on the ladder when he debuted). If Mennings, Moses and Norman are getting another chance, so should French.

I feel like this forum has turned into some sort of Marvel comic. It makes a good story. At some point all in harmony untill a demon was born (Hayne) some knew but others didn't . Then BA comes in and the group becomes divided. Nutz huggers and death riders... And they split and fight.

But there can only be one superman in this story

I am sure there is. I'm just not across it. Locally maybe Getup! ?
I don't consume local media but in the States the Washington Post and the NYT are prominent organisations with a strong left wing bias. I'd say the media in general would be left leaning because their employees lean that way. Fox News is prominent (and very profitable) because it stands alone to fill the demand for right leaning media. All the others are competing for the left wing consumer.

I wouldn't consider Infowars mainstream like Fox.

Superman is DC, not Marvel.

SHARKS FEEL THE (PENNY) PINCH

The Cronulla Sharks are hunkering down to hit tough times financially and waiting for a verdict from the ongoing salary cap investigation.

There is a view things could get tough at the club leading into Christmas once the NRL finalises its findings.

Board member Craig Airey recently resigned as a director and the Sharks are still without a major sponsor for next season.

Co-captain Wade Graham was thought to be closing in on inking a new contract extension but talks have been put on the back burner for the time being.

There is no real left in the US, what you describe as "left wing bias" is for the most part liberal , which is the US's current interpretation of what it is to be "the left"

The Democrats are right of centre as compared to where we see the centre here, and as far as classical left right ideology goes, the ALP is on most measures ( particularly economic ones ) now right of centre.

Agree, this would be considered the the furthest right of Australian politics.


And this would be considered the furthest left of politics


I agree that the Labor party are right of centre these days since they distanced themselves from the greens. Same goes for the LNP, however the conservatives led by Abbott, Abetz, Fifield, Andrews and Fierravanti-Wells have forced their “broad church” coalition further to the right than they have ever been.

No surprise to me that their cap is under the microscope. Their squad last year was chock full of names.

Agree however, media reports were that they offered Val H $6m over 6 years.

Superman is DC, though...

Maybe you're more like Thor.

Gallens last year probably pushed their cap over the limit hence why they were so quick to allow Homes to leave..
