  1. i'm not familiar with wwe, so i looked it up.......and yes, i see what you mean "spear tackle" terminology in football i believe originated in rugby (both union and league) and here it is where the one tackled is lifted, turned upside down (to some degree, usually greater than the horizontal), then dropped or driven (like "spear") to the ground. A very, very dangerous tackle which can lead to concussion, broken neck or paralysis. this obviously is very different to the term used in wwe
  2. nothing to do with 3-5m run up a spear tackle is where player being tackled is lifted off the ground (generally above the horizontal) and then head/shoulders slammed into the turf. nothing even remotely what kozzie did, tackling player front on then driving him backwards onto his rrrs it was a textbook great tackle and he should be applauded for it
  3. it wasn't a spear tackle or even a semi-spear tackle if you want to see a spear tackle go and look it up on youtube for nrl wish everyone would stop calling it a spear tackle it was the sort of front on tackle mumford does frequently and un-penalised. you'd think mumford would be more dangerous than little kozzie. kozzie's so-called sling tackle was very marginal. surprised he got fined let alone paid a free-against (assuming this was the one he got fined for)
  4. you seriously think ato would get involved for a relatively small amount of unpaid tax for something 30-40 years ago i also don't think banks are legally obliged to keep account details for that long and i seriously doubt whether those tape backups would even be readable now
  5. and how do you get access to player's bank accounts? they are now past-players. no contractual connection to club or afl
  6. i'd expect the paper trail has long ago disappeared hard to see what would be left to investigate will go nowhere (officially that is)
  7. I've been listening on 3aw. I've never heard commentators talk so much about free kicks, both those missed/not paid and those paid wrongly. they are totally perplexed by the umpiring.
  8. rain belt accelerating estimate hit surfers in 45 minutes....more than a shower duration maybe 45 minutes........so ending about 20 minutes before kickoff
  9. if i'm any judge on the speed of the radar (doubtful) rain will hit the gold coast around the 2nd quarter ?
  10. don't be too sure http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR661.loop.shtml
  11. i'll see if spirit of norm smith replies, he's at least seen real contracts
  12. i'd still like for someone with contract experience to explain how injury payments (or not) are generally handled
  13. and i thought this was a jesse hogan thread.....
  14. let's hope norm has an answer maybe insurance plays a part? i'd be filthy if my income was reduced due to an injury while on the job
  15. yes, of course it depends on how contracts are structured and hi-end players can more easily negotiate "safer" contracts. but your reply seems to indicate that injured players don't get match payments or some sort of equivalent? i would have thought that if players were injured in club activities (at least) they should receive some sort of match payment equivalent
  16. good info norm what generally happens with player payments when they are injured? is there a difference between playing/training injuries vs free time injuries/illnesses?
  17. doubt it's china.....would get reliable shipping, esp for that time frame
  18. probably makes most sense as it will be wet ball game.....brings everybody back to jonesy's speed
  19. damn....damn.....you just reminded me of 2018 after i'd banished it from my memory.....damn
  20. 1 brown is more than enuff
  21. this - "best wet weather footballer" (maybe footballers plural)
  22. and 80% humidity according to one forecaster
