Mass stabbing at Bondi Junction. Six dead. Death toll likely to increase.

Mr Squiggle

Labor won't unwind demonstrably inefficient and ineffective housing and taxation policies at the State and Territory or Federal level because the Labor party is an entirely owned subsidiary of its donors. Ditto the Libs, Nats and anyone else in parliament funded by vested interests. At best they wil...

Mr Squiggle

Players reading their own press. We've played outstanding the last 3 games and then dished that up. Horrible. I hope the players get absolutely shredded this week. Leaders of the team need to have a look at themselves and front up. We lacked energy and our focus on the simple things just wasn't the...

Mr Squiggle

We started better than most years but we're back to being Ricky's Raiders. A 65 minute football team with a coach incapable of fixing it.

Mr Squiggle

To me that’s all well and good. But there’s a line beyond which it’s wasted. Given I’m not going to convince them, I’m going to let them know I think they’re a ****. Yeah they’ll probably push back and that won’t help either. But I think it’s probably still significantly better than the kid gloves ...

Mr Squiggle

The vast majority of American voters consider the other guy to be an affront to democracy, completely unfit for office and a danger to America and the world. I reckon when you're at that point, your democracy is probably not going to last much longer, whoever wins.

Mr Squiggle

Trump threatens to hasten the decline of a system of democracy already in serious decline. Biden doesn't deserve re-election. It's a terrible, terrible situation with no 'good' outcome possible.

Mr Squiggle

Trump's win at the Supreme Court is going to sting for a while. :roflmao Interesting use of the laughing emoji. Why? It was so obviously a stupid move by the Colorado court and it has only served to boost Trump, who was a pretty terrible president and likely will be again. It's a terrible own goal.

Mr Squiggle

Trump's win at the Supreme Court is going to sting for a while.

Mr Squiggle

Guler, Saulo and Hoppa have no business in an NRL top 17. They are bog average with the ball in hand and they stink defensively.

Mr Squiggle

This is what a Ricky Stuart rebuild looks like. A mix of youth that is either too raw (Chevy/Strange/Sanders) or sub-par(Hoppa/Saulo), mixed in with a few very well paid forwards long past their best and declining.

Mr Squiggle

Leadership and culture start at the top, yet we retain a board, CEO and coach that demonstrably couldn't lead a conga line.

2024 is going to be another long year of **** football and tired excuses.

Mr Squiggle

There's 100+ years of incredibly complex history here, probably longer. If you don't know it, advocate for peace. We can't, as a country sit on the fence and hold our collective heads high when we stand in the way of what is right and what is consistent with the international rule of law, we helped ...

Mr Squiggle

Interesting part about how a peace agreement was reached between Israel and PLO, I think in the 90s, and Hamas literally blew it up . Helped shape Israel's current no negotiation mindset. Hanan Ashrawi tells a very different story and she was there. I'll happily admit that I don't know a lot about ...

Mr Squiggle

Every super villan has an origin story. Hamas has theirs, but so does Israel. There are reasons Israel has its current mindset. Some of them are pretty good. Some of them are pretty shut. Just because they have good reasons, doesn't mean I think that their actions are condoned. That podcast by the ...

Mr Squiggle

It’s also extremely likely the whole Hamas attack was organised by Iran for reasons I discussed a few weeks ago, it’s just the US and Israel have dialed back any rhetoric directly accusing them because they just don’t want a wider scale conflict. Extremely likely is a big call, given the history. P...

Mr Squiggle

Jeez, I hope were not being gaslit by the Americans into another Bull war in the Middle East, but it wouldn't be the first time.

Mr Squiggle

You need to understand the circumstances around the Balfour declaration and then the Nakba that occurred after the Brits departed. These two events are vital context for the current crisis.

Mr Squiggle

He's too lazy. Needs to be doing a lot more work on his endurance and wrestling in the off season and adding consistent kick pressure and better upper body control to his defensive output in matches. 5/10 Unfortunately he is severely hindered in his development by coaching staff that demonstrably do...

Who thinks they’ve counted them already and are keeping quiet.

OR

They’ll wait till next Satd and count them then.

I think it is a fairly safe bet that they will do whatever the governing legislation requires them to do. The AEC aren't a rogue outfit.

Live on NITV and foxsports.

Walgett look set to win it. Jack and Joel's team.

Great game of footy for those that are missing it.

Benny Barba looks good for for Walgett.

Mr Squiggle

We've never had a squad at the level of the Panthers. It's chalk and cheese. Their halfback is and will continue to be the best halfback of this generation. That's quite important in winning. What do all the teams that are better than us gave? Better players. Even 2019 - our side on paper was horre...

Mr Squiggle

As the Head Honcho of the Rickyheads my answer is yes! All the good coaches have that one superstar player that is like a Coach on the field. Bellamy had Smith. Walters has Reynolds. Penrith have Cleary. Our spine is on paper worse than a few other teams who failed to make the 8. Club has to land a...

Mr Squiggle

Last year was an average season this year was worse.

If you're seeing it another way, you've got your ****ing eyes closed.

Mr Squiggle

My (calm) take, we were in it until a few b/s calls threw the 50/50 momentum out of whack. A good effort by our (less talented) boys. The never-ending anti-Sticky comments on here are by far the most boring thing about our forum. He says nothing, he gets slammed. He says something generic, he gets ...

Mr Squiggle

Gritty Canberra Raiders aim to drag down surging Brisbane Broncos Canberra’s grinding style and ability to win close games means coach Ricky Stuart feels like his team has been playing finals all season. “It’s certainly part of the DNA, and something I like to have as a coach,” he said. “If you can...

Mr Squiggle

We're probably winning one more game and it will be this weekend and only because the Dogs are by far the worst team in the competition at the moment.

Results, should that be the case could have us miss the eight altogether.

Mr Squiggle

In the current setup, yes. But when Chevy, Sanders, Strange, etc make it to first grade... my HOPE is we become more of an attacking team. I know Ricky is often criticised for his forward-dominated and boring game plan, but I think that's largely because of the players we have in the team. There is...

Mr Squiggle

He's comically bad at his job and he's an abrasive sore loser. Not really the right mix of character traits for a job managing a high performance, CALD workforce in a highly competitive, results driven industry.

Mr Squiggle

It's so ridiculous, a competent board would see this repeated failure to perform at home as a firm indicator of the coach's incompetence and inability to learn from repeat past mistakes.

Mr Squiggle

Dr Zaius wrote: ↑August 3, 2023, 6:32 pm So three indictments for Trump now. Yesterday's being the big one. And likely a fourth this month. It's going to be an interesting presidential election campaign.

Will get a lot more interesting if the Republicans impeach Biden like they are threatening to do.
