Sheesh, the Dolphins are off tonight, and an 8-1 penalty count helps. #nrl

The NRL risks losing itself in a maze of set restarts After three rounds of the NRL season the increase in set restarts has left coaches, players and fans alike more confused than ever about the specifics behind rugby league's most controversial rule cha...

Brisbane are relentless and that has forced Melbourne into poor options on the rare occasions when they have the ball. #NRLGF

Will Handslikebricks?

And it’s got to be Melbourne over the News Corp Broncos.

Broncos probably deserved to win but gee Chris Butler is among the only people who found a put down on that last try.

And destroyed USAID.

Raiders O-Line stank. The rest was inevitable.

This looks to me a classic Richo manoeuvre: put Galvin and Moses under some pressure. He’s saying to Lachie, go find your money son, we've got other options. After last year when Galvin sought a release, I imagine Richo has had his fill of playing games with Moses and Lachie’s family.

Ah that takes me back, the joys of a winter school ride on a red rattler from St Marys to Doonside between 1972-1974.

Well, you let go of May and Tupounioa, so there’s that. #howcouldtheylethimgo?

One second from every scene in Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Ezra didn’t challenge a lot of clear BS, especially on Dems and free speech. E.g., John Kerry did not express “regret” about the First Amendment, that’s just a false MAGA talking point.

If there's one shared belief among Times people, it's that they produce a quality product, the high end of the market. That's what makes Jonathan Weisman's specialty — "Democrats say this, Republicans say that, from there you're on your own" — signficant to me. Is that a quality product? High end?

It’s his brother’s career all over again. Shaun played about 10 tests too many IMO.

Bumrah is a great bowler. And Australia’s flakey batting is doing the rest. #AusvInd

Jokerman is an absolute banger.

A misguided Board of Directors.

Hugh Marks, both as a leader and in his personal conduct has fallen well short of the standards expected in corporate Australia. At a public broadcaster the standards are much higher. What a bizarre appointment! #abc
