General NRL chat

[Brookie1973]

It’s not “sloppy reporting” to say he was driving with “a cocktail of drugs in his system”, it’s what the magistrate said at his sentencing.

Liam knight didn’t injure 3 people including a 4 year old girl. Liam knighted didn’t have a shocking driving record prior to his conviction.

Liam knights conviction didn’t prompt a State Attorney General to publicly question its leniency.

It was sloppy of the magistrate to use that phrase for the same reason I explained.

Anyhow as I said above I've no interest in defending Mam's history of driving infringements or the accident.

And would I prefer to get hit head on by an unlicenced driver, or not hit at all by a drunk driver? Option B please.

But you're missing the point i was making so don't worry about it.

Yes, I admit I am unclear what it is you are trying to say.
With regards to the Mam case, I am happy to side with the presiding magistrate and the QLD Attorney General.

Good point everyone that's how it should b friends again, concentrate on the next game. STRONGER TOGETHER, UP UP DA EAGLES

Sorry but I don't believe you. You are clearly literate and have a brain, and anyone with those characteristics can discern from my post this simple point:

Sloppy reporting has continually described Mam as guilty of driving under the influence of drugs, but that's not true. Nevertheless as a result many league fans seem to believe it.

Ok, I get it know. It’s sloppy reporting to quote the presiding magistrate. Apologies for my confusion.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

At the risk of labouring the point – here’s the NSW equivalent laws with penalties for first offence

Mam offence
Driving with illicit drug in your blood/saliva/urine (Road Transport Act s111)
Maximum penalty – a fine, plus disqualification from driving for at least 3 months


Renouf offence - Driving under the influence or alcohol or drugs (Road Transport Act s112)
Maximum penalty - 18 months imprisonment, plus disqualification from driving for at least 12 months



(Driving under the influence obviously far more serious)

Your dishonesty knows no bounds!! It's really outstanding!
I didn't say it was sloppy of you to quote the magistrate, I said it was sloppy of the magistrate to use those words which muddy the facts of what Mam was being sentenced for.

And I said I’d prefer to side with the presiding magistrate on this one.

Kevvie named Aust coach. (almost)

And also...

Concerns have been raised over the future of International and State of Origin eligibility with incoming Kangaroos coach Kevin Walters facing the potential of three stars defecting ahead of the 2025 Ashes Tour.

Walters is reportedly set to land the Kangaroos coaching job this week, but he could be without three of his best players.

Queensland stars Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Blues prop Payne Haas are reportedly considering turning their back on playing for Australia in favour of representing Samoa.

Samoa currently being a tier two nation means the trio can still play Origin for the Maroons and Blues while representing their country.

It just waters down the value of the Kangaroo jersey again, but what can you do.

It’s not footy related, but thought I’d share my evening anyway, it began sitting out the back watching the last of the day with the family, the fog was starting to roll in, when we witnessed a massive wedge tail take down a mid size adult roo, David Edinburgh move over, they are one powerful bird, it spooked a mob of about 12, before diving in and clutching onto the back of the neck of the poor old roo in full flight, sent them both crashing to the ground, bird didn’t let go, it’s legs were almost as big as Frank stokes, it bit into the back of the neck and pretty much killed the poor old roo instantly, maybe severed its spinal cord, unbelievable to see something like that, he then proceeded to eat almost the entire animal in just under an hour, he flew off with a portion, you could see a leg hanging from his talons, we went down and looked at what was left of the carcass after he flew off, not much, bloody amazing to see how much it devoured. I’ll throw up a photo of what he left.

A wedgy that size could take down an 8 to 10 year old no problems, that’s a scary thought, but after watching what we saw, I have no doubt whatsoever. Hard to say just how big he was, but at a guess he would have had a wing span around 3 metres. Watching him stand over his kill, I’d say he also stood about 3 feet tall. It knew we were watching, you could tell it actually made him nervous, you could see him ripping the roo apart one bite at a time, turning to watch us while he ate each bite.

After coming back from looking at his kill, we went in to warm up by the fire, cooked up some Jaffles, a layer of bitey cheese, a big scoop of spaghetti, pickled capsicums, a sprinkle of Mozzarella, two layers of roast beef and another layer of bitey cheese, into the fire and bang, I’ll show you below.

Anyway thought I’d share my evening, as that was one of those special moments your unlikely to ever see. I’ve seen them feeding on kills before, but never seen a take down and the kill, they are one powerful bird, with a hell of an appetite.
