Oh you mean the petition that literally anybody can sign without qualification?



When there's a petition on medical research, I'll listen to Frank then.

Get educated.

I'll listen to Professor Singer and back my education credentials against yours any day. Pleb.

Can anyone give me advice on a mates team;

Smith Macca
Fifi Tauapau JBrom Fai
Surgess Gal JDB Surgess Lane LBrown
Cleary Walker Munster NBrown
Peachy Fui BJ Kelly
Turbo Edwards Cotric Slater MWZ

4 trades and 53K

I only thing I can see worth possibly doing was punting on Dufty for a forward upgrade.

Fui/BJ - Dufty via Turbo/Cotric
Lane - Vaughn

Could hold but need another forward I think and moving Cotric or Turbo to centre would strengthen that up.

Or could go;

BJ - Watson via Munster and Turbo
Fui - James

Could possibly hold too if Surgess and Smith play.

Any ideas would be appreciated fellas.

Prof Singer wrote:—“the number of skeptical qualified scientists has been growing steadily; I would guess it is about 40% now.”

So you would take the guesswork of a single professor over thousands of peer reviewed papers?

*Yours. Top education.

Singer offers no evidence for his claim of 40% doubt and even describes it himself as "a guess".

They have to drop 2 players at 5:30 tomorrow.

Assuming Surgess makes it past that cull I suspect there will be some strong rumours about his likelihood of playing by Saturday lunch time, so you should be able to at least make an educated guess.

Looks to me like too much backline depth and not enough gun playing reserves. So yeah, downgrading in the backs and upgrading in the forwards looks like the go.

Back on to Fantasy has anyone heard an update on Merrin's injury? Thinking of trading him out this week for Fifita. Having a 400k+ player sitting in my NPRs not scoring any points isn't ideal.

Saw Trent Merrin on the Fox show League Life last night and he said;
His doctors reckon he'll be back round 25 but he's planning to be back round 24.
So he's still going to miss at least 3 more weeks.

Punting Dufty is the way to go - even if he turns out to be a dud, theres enough points in the remaining backline to keep the train rolling and the extra coin is needed up front.

Does anyone have stats of when munster played at FB compared to when he was at HLF?

I heard that Angus Crichton did an interview for the show. I haven't had the chance to watch it yet, is it any good?

Hmmm... he's had a bit of a slump. at the moment it's a wait and see

I could trade him for Fifita and upgrade SLane to Mannering... and skip bringing Smith in

Thanks lads, pretty much what I was thinking! Cheers.

Ryno. You're just another leftard sheep. I could put up opposition links to your dribble all day, but I won't bother. Climate change was once called global warming. Why'd they change the name? - anyone with half a brain knows the answer to that.

It's a hoax, designed by the Islamic run UN, to take money from western countries and fill moslem shit-hole coffers. It's a redistribution of wealth, perpetrated by 'scientists' trying to keep their jobs and justify their funding. Trump is a genius and the vast majority agree with him. No one cares if you don't.

I don't mind us going off topic, but politics and religion is just a no go zone


Take it elsewhere or don't post it here

... Please

There wasn't a lot to it but he seems like a nice kid. Private school rugby boy though, so hopefully the NRL doesn't lose him. They'll be playing more of the interview before the game on Saturday.

Edit: Oops, I stuffed that up good the first time. Sorry.

For a "vast majority" there aren't very many of you.

Do they make tin foil hats with holes pre-cut for bunny ears or do you have to make your own?

Do I play Cameron King or risk it with Cam Smith, my AE would be Nubrown vs Leliua vs SMAT
