Line was 24.5 which was a steal. Had that in $250.

Couldn't touch the HT NZ / FT Australia but paying 11-14 there would be some happy people out there.

That Fijian lady choir loving nailed that anthem, was by far the best anthem I've ever heard for a league game.

edit: Fiji are using their haka slot to sing another song :(

This game has been pretty entertaining. That hit by Corbin was magic, but that last try by Samoa was pretty nice too.

He's got two tries in the city/country, several trysavers including a huge one on a linebreak in the 79th minute, just wow what a performance

I don't know if anyone here listens to the Continuous Call Team, but I'm catching up via the podcast they provide of the complete show and by god the shows for Round 7 (Apr 19 & 20) were loving incredible. At one point they were crossing for live score updates from the Melbourne/Canberra game and then throwing back to Blocker to give score updates of the same game from the delayed TV broadcast and holy gently caress it was funny

If he didn't leak it then it's a non-issue and it doesn't seem as though the woman involved wants any drama (ironic since she stars in a poo poo soap opera). More tabloid 'scandal' over nothing.

Women can enjoy having consensual sex :monocle:

It is a nothing story excepting the possibility that Hurrell put the video out there in which case it is a pathetically minor story.

edit: probably doesn't bode well for the Warriors/rugby league holding onto Hurrell as it seems like the rugby union are much better at sweeping media-bait like this poo poo under the rug.

edit 2: "Blakely said the selfie video was filmed "about two months ago.
"Koni filmed it as a joke, but neither of us knows who uploaded it.
"But I accept what I do in my life, and neither of us are bothered about it. It was a tape between two people who have a lot of fun together. It's not like I'm Kim Kardashian," she said.

What exactly is the NRL even 'investigating'? It's none of their damned business and all they've done is put this out in the public eye.

This is all it is, I'm just getting a good laugh out of it. There shouldn't be a suspension or fine, at most maybe some sort of token sensitivity training.

In a story which should matter more, Mitchell Moses copped a two week ban for calling Luke Bateman a "loving gay oval office" during the U20s Origin match.

Hurrell starting & Matulino back for the Warriors, I know teams rarely get thumped twice in a row in the NRL but I have a feeling Ricky might have another tantrum in his near future.

Nope, rewind the thread and you'll see us unanimously bashing that signing and numerous posts from me during his time at the Storm about how poo poo and overrated he is.

To be fair he's having a reasonable season (not a $500k season mind you but reasonable).
