OK what the fuck... Rebels get a penalty and don't tell the ref their decision for like 2-3 mins. He just waits.

Yep, that was a joke. And karma kicks in and the Rebels fuck it up completely
@donsteppa after the ref swallow his whistle again. Nicely done Berry, nicely done.

I'm happy to believe this is a clear case of causation.

Our club yesterday: 15 blokes showed up and the other team were all big, BIG boys. The 51yo Scottish prop who should never play above Third Grade wasn't thrilled that he had to start, and he ended up playing the whole game. Luckily one of the guys who came along brought another prop. We fucking dicked them at scrum time - couple of tight heads even, but they had power and pace out wide and we ended up playing with 13 as two injuries mounted. Final result was 86-0 as we just ran out of puff.
Could be worse; we could be Penrith Grade hosting Sydney Uni yesterday:
0-97
7-137
5-98
0-87 -

0-87@nta What would be horrible would be to see the aggregate scores Penrith has suffered in the last 10-15 years.

I don't know what is more implausible. That score or the fact Penrith managed to score a try.

The whole freedom of speech argument is a non sequitar.
No it isn't.
Calls of "hate speech", which are calls of censorship, have been published in all the newspapers.

Israel sets the record straight. An interesting article with a shot fired at the ARU.

It is certainly interesting in that he doesn't understand the picture that what he sees as 'the truth' is not the truth, it is just his opinion.
THE Truth and THE Bible are subjective.Many employees have to put aside personal views in their jobs and many also have to keep the broadcasting of their personal views to a minimum to show awareness of bias accusations. It isn't an unusual situation. While they keep the 'right' to hold personal views they manage the public view.

It's a little unfair that he says Castle misrepresented him via the comments on the news - TV interviews are whatever sound grabs the editor thinks will make a story.
I've sat through solid fifteen minute interviews about the Powerwall thing that got cut to shreds, understandably due to time considerations. In several cases they left out what both I, and the interviewer, felt were the most interesting parts.

THE Truth and THE Bible are subjective.I didn't get that from it at all. I thought he was rather clear that this is what he believes.

He was, but he also falls into the trap of stating that what he believes is the truth and others don't recognise that.
I'm not too fussed about that, it was just my observation.
More pertinent is that he is not unusual in having a job that requires some personal views to not be aired.
