Rumours and Stuff

[Bazal]

The term Darwinism has been coined by Thomas Henry Huxley in his April 1860 review of "On the Origin of Species",[8] and by the 1870s it was used to describe a range of concepts of evolution or development, without any specific commitment to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection.[9]

Well social Darwinism is different to evolutionary Darwinism....but...

When Darwin wrote The Origin of Species it was world shattering and widely criticised. So they coined the term (or hijacked it) to describe those who adhered to his theory. Originally it was meant as a derogatory term, like a cult.

Anyway a lot of Darwinism is a bit outdated these days

Not unless some club thinks they can get more value out of him in the spine, and therefore offer more money.

The dogs should go for him. Better than either of their current halves.

Why was Roberts given in a 7 day ban from Brisbane CBD if he didn't do anything wrong??? And 6 days later he was at it again, surely with his record and past offences that warrants more than a fly in fly out in the same day???? How hard did they really look in to it??? There are stories of him all about the place from any number of sources that what this clown continually gets up too, alcohol ban as well but he didn't do anything wrong??? it's the inconsistencies in punishments from club to club that is what is pissing everyone off.

This is a serious question....can you show me a source that documents exactly what this 7-day CBD ban is? i.e. who issued it, what happened?

Here's some more comment on why the NRL were unable to pursue the MM incident:

It's also understood senior investigator Karyn Murphy – a former high-ranking policewoman who doesn't pull any punches – spent five days on the Gold Coast and left uncertain if the incident even took place.

EELS SEARCH FOR SEMI REPLACEMENT

North Queensland are in danger of losing yet another of their home-grown talents, with Parramatta circling winger Kyle Feldt.

Market Watch can reveal the Eels have cast their net in search of a winger and Feldt sits high on their list.

The loss of Feldt would be another blow for the Cowboys, who lose Kalyn Ponga to Newcastle next season and co-captain Matt Scott could join him.

Looking for a replacement for rugby-bound Semi Radradra next year, the Eels have formed an early shortlist.

While Feldt, who was in the frame for a Queensland Origin debut last year, is a major target, he’s not the only one in the mix to replace Radradra.

Wests Tigers flyer David Nofoaluma is also on the Eels’ radar for 2018.

A Campbelltown junior, Nofoaluma told foxsports.com.au earlier in the year that it will be difficult for the Tigers to keep all their locals with the likes of James Tedesco and Aaron Woods also off-contract.

“It’s contract time, what do you do? All you can do is play your best footy and take the best option possible,” Nofoaluma said.

“My focus is having a better season than last year, and that’s all I can ask for. What happens in the future happens.

“Of course (I’d like to stay). I started at the Tigers. But things come. I’d like to stay but let’s see what happens.”

Nofoaluma, 23, made his City Origin debut last year and averages a try every 1.8 NRL games.

Feldt, 25, is a premiership winner who can goal kick. He averages a try every 1.3 NRL games.

Is Feldt a little slow? I'd take Nofoaluma.

Two bit from this article ...


Parra eyeing Lolohea

The Parramatta Eels are keeping a close eye on what happens across the ditch between Tuimoala Lolohea and the New Zealand Warriors. Kieran Foran's arrival means Lolohea looks like being wasted on the wing for the Warriors and the Eels are ready to pounce should frustrations over his role in the team boil over. Parramatta has plenty of cash to spend and aren't shy about letting players know it.

He needs to leave the Warriors to reach his maximum potential. The only problem is I don't know where his best position is and neither does Kearney. Reminds me a little of a new age Ben Roberts.

 

[strider]

Lolohea is a fullback

Is Feldt a little slow? I'd take Nofoaluma.

Food women and footy are at the heart of social darwinism, seems like you are all over it

 

[Dibs]

Yep definitely looked a little slow in that clip

Did you see how long it took him to kick that line dropout?

 

[Stevie]

That is a big drop out!

I remember Inu havingthat massive boot on him. He was doing drop kicks no one was in those days they were great.

 

[strider]

Are we talking slow as in the pre-season time trials .. or 2 x tables?
