I didn’t watch the game, but Alamoti has had huge wraps on him for a while. Things just didn’t work out for him at the Dogs. Glad to hear he’s going well.

No, they did not yesterday. They have won some games in their history. I don’t know if they ever win again.
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

As a result I want to thank the GH Community and the Admin team for running such a great forum. Don’t realise how good the GH is until you see the dumpster fire that is other forums.

Sometimes I get very annoyed at some of the moderation on this site, think sometimes it goes well over the top

But man yeah for the most part the guys and girls here do a great job and you only need to go and spy the kennel forum to see how **** it could get without them

His second try where he came back on to the ball straight.. the way he was able to stop on a dime, flip his hips and get straight back to explosive speed was not something you see from RL athletes
He’s breathtaking to watch play. Probably my favourite bronco ever
Which is to say I don’t hate his **** guts like the rest of those pricks :lol:

He's really something else. We've seen incredible lateral agility before in the game, but he combines it with explosive power and minimal loss in speed when changing direction. Makes his opposite numbers look like they're moving in slow motion at times.

Interesingly, before this season he'd only scored 20 tries from 60 games - meagre for his ability. This year he's already 8 tries in 6. We're probably only just starting to see what he can do.

Poor crowd dolphins vs Knights
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.

This place would go downhill rapidly and we'd be on par with those places and LU.

I still remember LWOS and how gross that was

Incredible athlete. It's a pity that he comes across as such a flog.
