The Coalition are apparently breaking an election promise by planning to drop the $1000 online shopping threshold. The party will be officially over in March 2014 - as that is when they are meeting to make the changes. For me, I've only really got into overseas online shopping this year (I know...
I'll spare people the whole story - it would give you a tumour but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the fees associated with this.
Normally I order Rugby gear from NZ using a debit visa card but the one I use for Internet banking is lost in the jungle that is my bedroom. So, I...
I have a really bad flu at the mo (as I've mentioned in some other threads). It seems to go thru phases. Last week Mon & Tues was sniffle only, then Wed (the day after I went to the Aus-Scot game) thru to Fri it was extreme nose blockage from swelled sinuses - could not sleep because of it &...
Another thread generated some sprinting discussion so I decided to put up this sprint thread.
IS quote
"So do you build them first and then do the sprint specific training or do you do both at the same time?
Also having read the link you (seahorse) posted I am intrigued as to acceleration: you...
I've has a Grade 1 Medial & Lateral Ankle Sprain since mid Feb. It's an unusual injury, I can train & play on it as well as cut/change direction no problem but occasionally sitting down just moving it around it gets a bit achy in parts. Certainly in the 'niggle' injury category.
Has anyone...
Story below.
Big news here in Newcastle. Was Palmer onto something about his blasting of the FFA? Or is big money tycoons like him & Tinkler the problem. Not Rugby but does ask some interesting questions about some aspects of governing sporting bodies & private ownership...
I'm just putting up a link to some really top Rugby training gear for the club, team, & individual.
I have personally bought a lot of items from this place & the gear is top notch. Some of the items I have are the weighted vest, weighted footy, power chutes, pass back rugby ball, R80 DVDs (by...
I'm trying to settle another pointless argument that I probably should have just not bothered to getting into....
Anyways, I cant remember player names exactly but I'm sure we've had or still have some very good players at least at Super Rugby level that actually started in Soccer & in some...
Cant sleep, drank about 1.5 liters of milk coffee....
Cant see a thread to this so here it is if anyone want to comment on this game now or after the replay. Or just look at my coffee induced comments. I noticed Bulls v Blues does have a thread for later.
Tom Donnelly returns to play his old team on their turf. Looking forward to this game. Full house apparently.
Just a note on the other games, did anyone see Lions v Hurricanes Rd2 (sounded like a cracker), & the Chiefs surprised me against the Blues (very good bounce back from them).
Now...
Tahs v Reds thread is up so I decided to follow up with this.
What do we think? I would love my guys to win & I'm backing them at the later half of the season but round1 here I would def back the Blues.
Hope all the G&GR forum members who had a punt today were as lucky as I was (or more so).
1st Dunaden
2nd Red Cadeaux
3rd Lucas Cranach
4th Americain
I had $ on Lucas & came out $44 ahead which was nice. Tightest race ever for 1st & 2nd. The euro horses well & truly know how to win our...
Anyone from any Rural/Regional areas can add posts to this for there areas or indeed anyone from Newcastle who thinks I've missed a really good place.
I'll cover Newcastle. In case anyone is up here, down here, or lives here.
Big post but these are all the Newcastle pubs I reckon are worth...
Getting into RWC mode but from the Saders front I'm very happy to see this news that with the departure of a couple of locks the Crusaders have recruited a very good player in Donnelly. I know he's had a couple of injuries but I think he's a great buy...
I need some advice from Flankers/Back rowers, or really anyone who’s played, or/& refereed plenty of Rugby. I’ve been playing for a while and I do my own thing come second phase play & open play but at set piece time I’ve always seemed to just do as our fly half/scrum half has told me to do. Now...
Just an update on Joost and his health. Sad news that he has this horrible disease.
http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sport/springbok-legend-has-lou-gehrigs-disease-20110728-1i220.html
I cant remember if there was already a thread that talked about Joost so I decided to create this one.
Just tuned in to this. Interested to see how Colin Slade goes.
All Blacks get a penalty straight in front of the sticks, they take it. We should take note.
Just putting up a link to all the results from the womens Nationals 2011.

NSW Country V Sydney
Unsure if someone already had this thread up so sorry if I've doubled it.
Country girls went down to Sydney (unsure of the score at this stage).
Currently the mens game is 14-all.
Great to see this on TV. Its on the ABC regular time of the shute shield for anyone...
