    Wow, Ellicat is a brilliant diplomat Surely there is a good paying job for him smoothing over French ruffled feathers over the short finned barracuda subs

    Not offended at all DB, just having a bit of fun when I saw the gifs. Old Scaley wondered where I was going with it and will be glad that I didnt delve further into the more manly nature of a code whose players seem to be regularly in the news for drunkeness, assault, domestic violence, sexual assault, rape, covid violations I recall a league player whose signature move was to insert his finger into the anus of the tackled opponent.
  3. is this a new series of River Monsters? I dont remember seeing this episode

    Same, but I find the kicking duels tedious. Running rugby is more exciting

    Diving is a blight on football but is now a cardable offence and with the advent of VAR has declined. One of the clips shows an advert for BETAmax which really dates it. My family moved a lot when I was young and I attended schools where there was only one code. At one there was no choice but to pay ‘Victorian Rules’ as it was known then, union at another, league elsewhere and football at another. I played all of them and the best game is football. There is far more skill in football because ball control is limited to the feet [rugby codes should be more accurately advertised as a form of handball, rather than foot ball as the foot is so rarely used by comparison] I found league boring and predictable. Everyone stops and sets up for a rehearsed play of the ball. Repeat for 3 or 4 more phases, then surprise, surprise a kick. Ho Hum. I mean its so boring that the ball is shaped to give a less predictable bounce. League scrums are a farce- the ball is put in behind the second rowers legs-I mean why bother?. Just hand over possession to the opposition and be done with it. Why bother having a specialist position of hooker when the ball so rarely goes down the tunnel? The only positive to come out of a scrum is that it concentrates the big slow forwards in one area of the field and allows some space for the faster backs to run. The age old criticism of football by league fans is that football is for “Shielas, wogs and poofters’ Wwwwwweeeeeeeellllllllllllll………………….. NO. Football is played all over the world and is the code with the greatest number of junior registrations in Australia. Union is at least played throughout Europe, Nth America, South America, NZ, South Africa, Japan, and allegedly “it’s the game they play in heaven.” Even AFL, a bizarre sport akin to gaelic football is played in more states of Australia and has crowds far in excess than that of ‘league’ League is claimed to be “a mans game” compared to football, but that’s not true either A football game goes for 90 minutes- league is only for eighty. There is little relief for football players because there is a limit of only 3 subs. League has/had an unlimited interchange where big unfit forwards will trot on for a short stint, get gassed and come off for a spell. Perhaps you mean that football is less manly than league because there are so few cases of football players being found guilty of assault off the field? lol
  9. Brisbane Roar 3-0. Peninsula Power were competitive for most of the first half, but outclassed in the long run. I thought most peeps on the forum were from Brisbane and a lot on the suburbs close to the bay, and have torn loyalties.
  10. FFA Cup streaming live on 10Play now. Peninsula Power V Brisbane Roar. 2 local teams up there- anyone supporting the underdogs?
  11. Hi Angry, that would make you a feeeelthy gringo? If you click on the link it just asks you to tick a box saying that you are a resident of NSW-no address details needed as confirmation. Far be it rom me to encourage someone to be dishonest. I haven't read the proposed legislation, just forwarded the message in case others want to support the petition. I dont eat meat now and kill the fish I catch quickly and humanely. I still have nightmares from when I worked in an abattoir in the school holidays when I was a teenager, and am disgusted in the live export of sheep/cattle and their treatment at their destinations in the Middle East and Indonesia. I know I am a hypocrite, as I use live bait and am certain that they suffer [until they are eaten anyway]. I just thought others who may have a view may want to express it before the Minister makes a decision.
  12. This is from the NSW Recreational Fishing alliance email received today. NSW RecFisher September 2021 "If you want to continue fishing you must SIGN this E-Petition to the NSW Parliament! There is no doubt the animal rights movement are licking their lips; they think their time has come to finally get at fishing in this country while NSW DPI and Minister Adam Marshall are asleep at the wheel. Every NSW fisher should question the NSW Government why it would blindly support the notion, that fishing “harms” the fish and why it would propose new laws that will specifically acknowledge psychological suffering in the definition of cruelty; in addition to the already existing provisions around pain and physical suffering. Sign the E-petition here and stop this from progressing to becoming law in NSW. We have not had a proper debate around the issues, and until we do, recreational fishing is under threat."
  13. When catching bait I follow the advice of a well known fisherman and I "Cast thy bread upon the water". If I'm on a wharf, I dangle a perforated tin of mackerel or tuna
  14. Hi Ellicat, I wrongly thought a 'leader' and 'trace' were the same thing-this clears that up
  15. Cant you just have a long leader joined to the mainline by a swivel? They reduce line twist and seem to be the logical connection between mainline and trace. Are you saying that you join braid to trace and dont have a swivel in the rig, or you join mainline to trace with an FFG knot AND have a swivel in the rig somewhere [which would be an extra weak point in the rig] Soz, still a bit confused
