Great innovation having the men and women play Vic open at same time...

Let's hope that Dogs win this weekend and cheer Dman up. 😊

Or Marki can post more jokes about how good Trump is. 😉

I'm happier than marking is funny... ;)

I am happier in the days prior to predictive text

Went to BSG yesterday. The S.G Ball side were really impressive. Matthews were out classed. 20s did well. Intrust was a little boring mostly players trying to make the squad.  Matt Mundine played at fullback at one stage. First time I have seen a props body playing fullback.

We have good hookers everywhere. Our strongest position through the grades.

Thank you... It kills me...

All the Glory!

Perth Glory now have a 7 point table lead with 9 games to go. Premiership plate beckons but anything can happen in the finals. 

Bad luck Perth the Mocki has spoken.

Hahaha Nancy, you watch, they won’t win another game

I am enjoying looking at the players with their shirts off I must say.. I have never seen a fitter Bulldog side body definition wise.  Sue and Crichton look terrific. The transformation of Fualalo is remarkable, just goes to show what competition for spots can do. Interesting to see Crichton has been training as a centre and winger. He was a centre in the juniors.

Nancy, did anyone stand out from the NSW cup game yesterday?

95% of the names listed on the team sheet, I’ve never heard of before

A lot of them won't be there when the season starts Villi. The two 2nd rowers were very good Mautatia and Dalton Smith who played Flegg last year. A centre Connelly something and winger Kuresa did some good things. What impressed me most about the day was the way the teams were passing the ball so naturally left to right and right to left. Stephen James the new skills coach is a terrific signing for the club. The junior rep teams looked very smoove and crisp in their passing. 

AnnaV is that you? 

Far out. A car slightly smashes into a chicken wire fence and our rail line is in instant meltdown coz some bright spark put a signal box next to the fence.....

We have a long long way to go before our fail-safe measures are incorporated into our transport system. 

And then we want high speed rail!
I laugh every time I hear it.

Got to the station at 8.00am. Got to work at 9.45am. Trip usually takes 40mins.

And don't get me started on the NBN

Yes, I was impressed with the videos of the passing drills.

People think we lack size, but we having damaging ball runners on the edges, e.g Holland., Smith, Meaney  
We have forwards who can run good lines and be damaging on the fringes:- Smith, RFM, Martin.
We have a few players with ball playing smarts and good instincts :- Lewis, Foran, Hoppa.

What it comes down to is if we can move the ball crisply, speed and decision making is more important than size. If we break the line the big opposition forwards need to turn around and scramble back, move the ball fast again they are under pressure and probably concede a penalty.

When we are in the opposition 20, moving the ball crisply forces the opposition to make quick decisions.

All NRL sides use slide defence these days, slide defence eats up slow ball movement, crisp ball movement and good decision making can challenge it.
Not only that, it is much more fun to play that way, and great to watch.

A pass will always beat a dribble.

We need smart players who play to a well structured gameplan but know when to break away from it when the opportunity arises and have smart players around to realise the break away and follow suit.

Theres 2 ways to do it. 
You either teach all your players, or you keep it to the select few (spine) and have the others as pawns who just continue on their way while the spines takes control.

You cant learn this overnight. Some never do. It's up to the coach to find or recruit the players that can do it, and then decide if he wants a full team of them or keep it to few. 

We are a young side with many new faces.
I'd say we are at least 3 years before have this attribute.

One for the boys, or girls if it's your thing...

I was recommended a movie years ago that I never got around to seeing, but skimming through the XBOX store last night, there it was so I thought why not. Now this is a bit of a unique movie in that the "actors", the main ones anyway, are not actors at all - they're special forces soldiers. In a (you guessed it) Special Forces movie.

So as you'd expect, the acting is f***in' atrocious. When they're standing around talking family etc it's high school musical stuff. BUT when the action starts, this is why they cast real special forces soldiers and it shows. It's basically like watching a real world training exercise and you're in the middle of it and these guys are on. You see movies where it's actors playing soldiers and everything's... exaggerated. You've got to hear the magazines hit home and the weapon being cocked, they crouch sprint everywhere, dive to cover, snap to target. These guys move slow and deliberate, guns up, not a sound, no exaggerations, no theatrics.

So forget the acting and the dialogue and just watch them at work. Seeing as they don't take cinematic cameras into combat or even training exercises I'd say this is about as close as you'll get to seeing how it's all really done.

Think of it this way, if they made a Rugby League movie and all the actors were NRL players - the dialogues and acting would be laughable, But when they did the action on the field.......

The movie is called "Act of Valor" (yes it's even got a cheesy name), but it's worth a look, even more than one.

Save your money BigT and put it on us to make the eight at $4...

There's also an "Act of Valor 2" & you're probably already onto it. I haven't seen either.

Last one I watched was that "Inglorious B'stards" Blu-ray I found here. As I said before, it had its good qualities, but there's a difference between movie fiction & movie bs & they went with the latter in regards to the ending. If I was the producer & got handed that script, I would've re-wrote the ending or not financed it. If I was an actor considering a role in it, I would've passed on it unless the ending was rectified. It would've been better or at least credible if the big ending was to terminate a bunch of fictional gestapo guys or something like that, but for whatever reason they tried to re-write history by killing Hitler. Perhaps the intention was to give the French resistance folks & the Jews something to cheer about, if there were any in the audience, but all I could imagine was they'd be shaking their heads in disappointment & disbelief at such a bs ending to the story.

So should I spend the $1.70 on the DT or should I place a $1 bet on the spoon to try and win $3?
