Did anyone else Kayo crash then?
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

No, oddly I found it was a lot more stable on the 4k stream than usual. Thought it looked a bit underwhelming though.

Ezra Mann with a terrible pass for an intercept try. You hate to see it.

Brisbane fans are the most reasonable.

Just like QLDers at origin

Am I the only one who thinks Walsh is what Milford should have been if the Broncos didn’t pack size on him and shift him to 5/8?

I like the blockers rule actually getting enforced but they need to also check the onside.

40,746 is the official crowd.

And they’d sold 47,000 tickets by last night.

After the Bunker said Shoulder Charge, even if the referee thought no penalty try or Sin Bin, surely the bunkers call of shoulder charge means you at least put it on report.

Walsh has had one very good season in his first year at the Broncos. Milford had a very good first season in his first year at the Broncos, and was a stand out for us in a very ordinary team. Let's see how Walsh goes over the next few years before deliberating.

Try scoring situation, arguably a professional foul. You would think if not a penalty try (which it clearly wasn't) then it deserves a sin bin.

I can just see the similarities with the way they play and no one’s suggesting to move Walsh into the halves. Although who knows when Reynolds retires.

Definitely similar. Both quick and skillfull. But Milf had some absolute freak plays in him too.
