Still weighs in at a ridiculous 114kgs.

Is 114 kg Ridiculous? Not everyone looks like they eat tapeworms for breakfast you twig!

In the only change to the game's rules for the 2024 season, teams will no longer cop a penalty when a kick restart fails to go 10 metres or enters touch on the full.

Instead, the receiving team will be given a play-the-ball 10 metres out from the line of the kick and 10 metres in from touch.

The rule change comes after a significant increase in the amount of short droputs in recent seasons, leading to more contested possessions.

R1: Tigers (Fainu?)
R2: Titans (Campbell)
R3: Dolphins (JMK)
R4: Storm (Grant, Papenhuyzen, Blore)

Must be off those designer toasties I saw him picking up before Xmas!

I had one and, although they are delicious, they are about 25% too big and leave you with a slight 'uncomfortably full' feeling (and I'm generally a greedy bastard when it comes to toasties).

You ever had a French Taco? Neither a taco or particularly French... thin toast around spiced meats, melted cheese, garlic mayo and CHIPS.

That's only the silver medal in the greedy sandwich olympics though, gold goes to the Portuguese Francesinha: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesinha

mildly interesed to see how it’s scored for fantasy purposes, the kicker won’t get a penalty anymore, do they get an error instead or is it just ‘nothing happens’ because technically they aren’t in posession of the ball’?
