Plenty on the line this Sunday at Ballymore for the local derby to end all local derbies. With the weather forecast for Sunday to be a delightful (as long as you're not playing) mostly sunny and 28...
With the federal election looming, there has been a lot of chat about how difficult it is getting for people to enter the housing market.
I own (Read: am paying off) my own home but still I often wonder why we can't access our superannuation to buy our first home? My knowledge of economics...

I have dodgy knees so I always strapped them up, for all the good it did, with normal rigid strapping tape. Usually in the first few minutes of the game the strapping tape would tear and from then on became extra weight and wind resistance really. ;)
I've decided to don the boots this season...
A good mate's wife has contacted me to see if I knew anything about electric razors as she wants to get my mate one for Father's Day but is feeling a bit overwhelmed.
I know nothing about them but thought there may be a few folk on here who could recommend a particular type or brand or better...
I've just recently returned from a new baby imposed hiatus and realised there were no Scarf Awards for 2013, or none that I could find. Is it too late or did it just get a bit old hat?
I was lucky enough to be at Suncorp for the 1st Test on Saturday night and can honestly say that was one of the most amazing Rugby experiences I've ever experienced. It wasn't the result (obviously), it wasn't the noise, it wasn't any one thing. It was the sum of all the experiences that...

A mate of mine and I often discuss Rugby, where it's headed and how to make it better. How do we show the masses what they are missing? How do we show them how great our beloved sport is?
We are both very passionate about Rugby and both agree that the product we have already is very close to...
About 5 years ago I stopped playing Rugby.
At the time I was playing reserve grade on the Sunshine Coast with the odd cameo off the bench for A-Grade and, as we all do, was spending more and more time injured than fit. In my mind, I was still the early 20's bloke who was an A-Grade starter...
After a good showing in Toowoomba on the weekend, the Reds travel to the Sunshine Coast to take on last years Champions, The Chiefs.
The last time these two teams met, it was a brute of a game with the Reds thumping the then red hot competition favourites at Fortress Suncorp.
The Reds will...
After the game on Sat night - a lot has been said about how bad both teams played etc. I've never been greatly interested in "stats" but I was alarmed enough at reading one such stat that I had to check them.
Apparently on Sat night, we only made 1 line break and it was awarded to Genia...
Now that S15 has come to a close, I have been trying to find out if I will be able to watch any of the ITM Cup on Foxtel. This is the first year I've had Fox so I'm still learning what sports I now have access to.
Can anyone tell me whether it is shown on the standard sports package (ie no...
Hey Gaggers,
I've noticed a fair bit recently in the S15 a phenomenon whereby during the match (sometimes even in the first half) a prop will go down injured and be replaced. Then say 50 mins in the hooker will be subbed for the reserve hooker as you do. And then with maybe 20 to go, the other...
