Wooooaaaaah! I live in NZ and rugby league is pretty big down here ( although waay bigger in Aussie) and this huge scandal has just errupted regarding the storm cheating the salary cap. Any NRL fans out there care to share their thoughts?

I think its disgraceful. they have so many huge players like Slater, Inglis, smith and have dominated the game in the past 4 or 5 years and now it comes out that they have been cheating. I can see now why they have so many big players and have managed to be so sucessful but they have been cheating to do so. Its really unfair to other teams. I just can't see how they managed to get away with this?

Anyway, rant over!

I heard on the radio just before the news broke that there had been several big bets ($10,000ish) on the Storm to finish with the wooden spoon and that Sportsbet Australia had suspended betting on it. Sounds like some really dodgey dealings have been going on. Ah well, maybe the Warriors will manage to get a win out of it... oh yeah... it's the Warriors, so probably not.

Haha yeah the Warriors are no stranger losing when you think they should win... much like the Hurricanes. Just my luck that all the teams I support end up that way.....

I still can not believe the storm got every thing stripped. They sure came out to play last night though. ( Maybe i should change my avatar )

P.s I loved the warriors supporter with the giant cut out of the wooden spoon with the storms name on it classic.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

I live in Melbourne and I can definitely say that it was a massive shock to the whole city! Main news story the whole week it first became public. The first thought I had when I heard of their punishment (stripped of everything!) was how in the world are they going to come back from this?

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
