State of Origin Series XVIII Round 2: Vic Metro v Allies @ Melbourne Cricket Ground

[damicky]

Say what now?

It was meant to say “managed”

Damn autocorrect

 

[spudmaster]

Anyway, before I get back to my holiday, I'll offer up the usual insults people hurl at the Allies.

Blah blah blah, not a real state, yada yada yada, rugby or something, etc etc etc, two headed Tasmanians, so on and so forth, go Metro.

I've got NFI who's friend or foe right now so I'm just going around swinging until I figure it out.

 

[damicky]

Rucks can go and get ****ed.

Wingers are the Silk players of the Sweet FA.

I am a Premiership Wing. They don't come more outside then me.

How about Full Back?

We should all have Avs that distinguish who we are representing

What a great idea! Hopefully it catches on.

Can't wait to slay Ligma

 

[Wosh]

This was woshes success, not yours. Even then, I'm not sure about using charities as a tool to recruit.

It’s not my ‘success’, we raised money for an amazing cause and had a lot of fun doing it, made some new friends too whether they come here or not.
And you should punch yourself for that last comment. Hard.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

New York is so overrated. Los Angeles is where it's at!

NYC for me. LA isn’t even the best city in California.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Hello everyone. I see friend NaturalDisaster is endearing himself to all and sundry as per usual.

 

[damicky]

Hi TheInjuryFactory

How have you scored the ND vs KP bout so far?

 

[Dingster]

Fos you had a nip of gin in your coffee this evening?

Will you settle for volunteers?

watching the cricket while listening to phooby

but have time for fun with ND if he is about…

this is what multi tasking is all about for us Allies

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Has there been a less relevant admin than Kennedy Parker?

Which time?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Can't wait to slay Ligma

poor Ligma the littlie SleySley Hewitt of the comp.

 

[PhenomenalV1]

Our International contingent feel a bit left out

I'm treading carefully lest Chipmunk rises from the Thames and attacks me on my way back to the hotel.

Rucks can go and get ****ed.

Wingers are the Silk players of the Sweet FA.

Wingers unite and rise up!

 

[Hatchy1992]

NYC for me. LA isn’t even the best city in California.

My knowledge of Los Angeles extends only as far as GTA.

After that, I have no allegiance whatsoever.

Wow.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

You suggested something at the end of your three season reign but didn't actually implement it?

I actually check all the sims for errors every week of S34 and S35 and approve before they get posted. How many rounds of sims did you check between S31-S33, every week?

Thought so.


By this logic, you can't claim the Old Boys expansion because Tigerturbulance did all the heavy lifting?

A successful initiative can be a credit to multiple people ND. Yes, Wosh was brilliant in engaging the GD people she knew. I also happened to be heavily involved in planning out how the initiative would go, the putting together of the team, the coordination and communication, the simming and posting of the game. Also, add that it was my idea that I suggested in the first place.

You don't get it ND, we are not using charities as a recruitment tool. We're taking an initiative that is successful in this community and introducing it to another. No party is being 'used' here, the charity wins because of the funds raised, the GD locals have fun so they win, and the SFA build up better relationships with moderators and members of another board which will mean future opportunities to recruit.

WIN-WIN-WIN


In the middle of year when the site is more active, captains and vice-captains interviews, decent amount of sign-ups and even a bit of controversy with the Queensland bid which means potential growth in future series.

Compared to the 2022 version? Yeah, more hype.

But since I am the friendliest poster in this league, here it is.

I disagree.

Unnecessary penalties are horseshit and I doubt the committee will be reintroducing them even after I finish my admin run.

You had literally 4 teams vote for All SFA last season, 4! Even Ant Bear at his worst didn't get that low.

I don't think you're a bad admin, I think you've been a bad admin. You're first reign was execellent as you had the leagues best interests in mind and steered it from a bad place, into a good place. This reign, you've been nothing but motivated by self interest.

Lol, literally respond to no points I made.

Wait, so I didn't make the All SFA team because some teams didn't vote?

Shambles.

Where's the HoF this year?
