@damo Thats interesting, I'll gave to look into the Flynn effect. I'm only partially aware of the bell curve mainly through Harris's recent interactions with Murray as well as through some of Stefan Molyneux's videos. Plan to read Murray's book at some point this year, the violent reaction to academic research however does concern me especially when people go down the 'facts are racist' route.
My point here is similar but from a different point of view. As Folau can't prove he is correct, especially to those who don't believe in heaven/hell it is then far easier to ignore him and claim he is just another 'crazy' christian just as you would a screaming homeless man with a 'hail the apocalypse' sign. Facts, figures and analysis are much harder to deal with.... but anyway I think we've trailed waaaaay off the aussie rugby subject..
Tah's going well, where's that bloke who used to always say 'this is our year' before disappearing from the forum at the later stages of the comp?
We might be off topic, but surely it's better than discussing the actual state of Aussie rugby. That's just too depressing a subject at the moment.

@stargazer Can we put the Blues in the OZ conference..?

Got smashed in both grades on the weekend. Now everyone is talking about contracting to one Grade.
Thing is, last two weeks were the toughest in the comp - away against the biggest sides who will probably contest the Grand Final short of a serious upset. Both heavy Islander influence (the backline were speaking almost exclusively Samoan yesterday) and some freaking awesome talent on display. Those guys could help Parramatta or Penrith at Premier level!
For the next five games its mostly smaller teams, mostly based out of the eastern suburbs, and we stand a chance of beating them in both grades with enough numbers. But if we don't snag 2 full Grades + 5 spare, then the Committee are calling Second Grade off, fuck the part-timers, and rebuild the club with just the one grade.
I'm still on the fence about that plan. Its not going to help the club grow, but then you could easily destroy a club through injuries.

Oh God AIG have released an extremely cringy "diversity" video with the All Blacks, probably in response to the Folau nonsense.

@no-quarter It was always going to be released at some point. Folau or no Folau.

Yeah, no doubt. It is cringy as hell though!
