    Rising Threat of Tsunamis

    Back in my student days Australia was looking at wave generators for electricity production. The cost was apparently prohibitive. I know Venice has produced a retractable sea wall that helps them protect their city somewhat against king tides. But it's going to be interesting to see how the...

    Sexton to quit Bulldogs

    The players have families though. While the players might be pretty thick skinned about it, imagine being a kid who's father is being painted as a rapist trying to get through a school day. Kids are merciless. If you're the spouse of a player does it raise questions about whether your husband...

    Sexton Discussion

    I'd guess that his management team have seen what someone like Dylan Brown earned and they were chasing a similar big money contract. Otherwise I think he'd have been snapped up somewhere. Pretty sad to see him go. And I think the club should've extended him. But they've taken us from also rans...

    No idea really. But I'll pay a bit more attention to it now that we've got skin in the game.

    Sexton to quit Bulldogs

    It's a shame to see Sexton go if this is true. I know that he's not regarded highly by every Bulldogs fan. While I think there were many factors in us returning as a force in the NRL, IMO he's a pretty fair part of it. Our firm jumped up a level when he forced his way back into the 17 last year...

    Sexton to quit Bulldogs

    It's not a matter of saving that dollar. Back when the Telegraph posted 500 articles about the supposed Coffs Harbour scandal, the detective handling the case has since come out and said the media were informed a long time before they stopped writing articles, that the club had nothing to answer...

    I'm not paying to read a telegraph story. Anyone care to post the article?

    Got an actual link to the story?

    I'd assume they learned lessons from the publicity of Galvin leaving and the club is muzzled these days.

    DSF has passed his category 1 test.

    It's hard to know if DSF will be extended. I think we've got plenty of talent in the roster next year. there are youngsters who will be knocking on the door, plus Thompson would be likely to be pushing to start. So I'd guess he's not a high priority unless hus price tag is low.

    I just recall that he wanted to get more minutes on field and he wound up moving to the Storm. I couldn't tell you now if it was a post season deal. But I think it was during the season.

    Computer/Console Talk/Gaming Super Thread

    I don't know how much footage was available to cut into that 11 minute clip. But it seems like the game has sorted out the timing of support runners a bit. I hated RLL4 because you could rely on support runners to get in front of the ball carrier between the time you initiated the pass and when...

    Bit of a gameplay review video. Looks a bit more fluent with the running game. But still looks like general play kicking is a dog's breakfast.

    Jack Hillar

    It was Greenberg that pulled the plug on our junior development. He actually assessed it by dollar value rather than in terms of football success. I couldn't find it now. But he was quoted saying something along the lines of why waste money developing good juniors when other clubs are likely to...
