He didn't say it was a hoax, he said it was a beat up.

Take it to the Corolla thread

Lol the entire continent of Australia did not burn

No just 110,000 sq km. Or an area of half the size of Victoria.

Exactly. Australia is 7.692 million km²

The NRL should try to get some of the bush fie relief money. Haha.

Buz Rothfield had a bright idea last night on 360. He said they were spending $800m on the new SFS. Instead they should build another Bankwest for $300m and give the rest to the NRL.

Dang I agree with the downsizing of SFS. If it goes ahead at all. It was always unnecessary.

Oh, but what about RU.........
....hahahaahaa.

Will this 1 player turn us from a fringe contender to genuine contender? If yes then hell yes but I consider our biggest impediment is probably the coaching staff and the head coach in particular. With our squad and a Bellamy or Robinson in charge we'd be a definite contender and wouldn't need Fifita. With BA who knows?

That’s a good point. Very good point. Miss these type of posts.

Soooo... Downsize it even further?

If you miss crazy as usual type posts we (mainly me) are keeping it real in the cave. It was set up for survivalism.

He was insured against a career ending injury. This is a totally different thing. If the NRL doesn't continue with its competition then there is no employment for these players. They will need to take a hair cut on wages, depending on the amount of games that are cancelled or if it is a total shutdown, then they will get next to nothing.

like I said, says who ?

where is your source for all this hot air

Do they make matchbox’s small enough???

Eight million hectares of burnt bush land is not a beat up, its a f**king massive disaster. I believe the worlds biggest fire before now was 1m hectares during deliberate Amazon rain forest fire. This was 8 times bigger and covered entire continent. We showed the world what inaction with the climate will do. The world will burn and maybe then, just maybe, we'll do something about it, but only if Trump believes it which I doubt. He probably thinks it was a beat up too.

And the Corona virus is due to climate change too. When will the world and Trump wake up? What will it take. Who's thinking about the children?

I blame everyone except me and my cow Daisy. She's so bright and calm. She tells me all will be OK and not to worry about all this unpleasantness to much. She tells me the media are beating this up more then what it takes to make her milk into butter.

Oh when I look into her sweet big brown eyes, how could I? Ah Daisy you sweet big beautiful gal you...

 

[Eelogical]

Daisy must be contented.

Sorry Sherlock, I don't have a printed source, just that it has been said numerous times on the footy shows. But logic suggests that "act of God" clauses are in the NRL's contract with the players for just this type reason mate. It isn't an out there type of statement by the jernos or something not common.

Why do you find this so hard to believe? If they don't play then there is no money to pay anyone. You can't get money out of a stone, unless if you were a wizard. Are you a wizard Twizzle?

The world has moved on pretty quickly from the supposed continent wide bushfires. Now we are exposed to new risks that will have unforeseen consequences. The problem is the world is too interconnected, which allows everything to scale in ways that we've never seen before. This is especially true for risk and our reaction to it. Which is driven by the media.

You want to know the absolute worst place to learn about anything complex (including science and risk management)? From journalists.

Like articles that say: we estimate 1 billion .... were killed and animal x is now endangered. I straight reject those stories now. Give me facts. Not estimates. They are hysterical.

The media keep wheeling out 'experts' with zero track record of their supposed expertise providing superior predictive performance to that of any given sample of punters.

It's all about the distribution of money, mate.

Why do you find this so hard to believe?

because I'm generally skeptic about anything and you've not presented and proof or source to backup any of your so called logic
