In fact, most people cop shit for pointing it out

Respectfully disagree. The more competitive games are, the more the game can potentially sell global viewing rights for, the bigger the pot for countries participating in international tournaments and competitions. It doesnt grow it over night but it starts the process

Im far more comfortable calling these loose carries even if it is deliberate simply because I dont know how you try and go frame by frame if someone argues theyre trying to get under the ball. Tackles from behind where the defender swings for the ball are called a knock on so no different imo

Anyone who says that was knocked out by Kennedy and should be a try to Penrith doesnt know what they want in the game. Keep the onus on the ball carrier to keep control otherwise we'll be arguing about whether the defender knocking the ball out or getting his hand under the ball #NRL #RugbyLeague

Theyre not. Theyre uncontested. Its purely a set piece. Youll see plenty of players from all positions in em, not just the forwards. All sorts of configurations too

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Its a set piece that ties up a lot of players and is a massive attacking opportunity. It doubles the attackers space and encourages a creative play on tackle 1

So my guess is the ref called a pen for only what Maguire did and they missed of what de Ligt did. They never wouldve called a foul for de Ligt so not clear and obvious error. They can only look at Maguire and theres no way hes fouled him. Right decision made in a roundabout way #var #EVEMUN #MUFC

I know its only pre season but Broncos are winning it all this year eh? #NRL

I think its one of those shows where the comedy is probably a bit technical and the art of it is the fact it all comes together with a huge crew in such a short space of time all done live. The final product wont ever be as polished as other shows. Im still a fan

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

It makes utterly no sense to do it, say it was someone else and then admit it unprompted? What did he gain?

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Exactly this - havent seen amateur play like that in a while. No strategy in sight

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Oof Im beginning to think #SurvivorAU might be a cast of characters more than players. There was a lot of amateur stuff going on on that Brains tribe tonight

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Always wanted to but how do you not end up with 50 dogs??

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Each season of #SurvivorAU I make a bet to win a croissant after ep 1 to pick someone to go furtherest vs my wife. This year, I landed on Rich. No idea why but I think the guy gets it. Wife picked Kaelan (poor guy got no air time - solid reasoning from the missus) Notable mentions Jesse and Karin

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

Hunt and Gosiewski never looked good enough last year but now look like theyre genuine options based on their showing so far for the Broncos #nrl

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

I mean, pretty sure he has to considering what would happen if there was another incident

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

One thing Im liking about Broncos so far is they seem super fit in hot conditions. Titans have had none of it #nrl

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Not even as good as his first 3 games for United. Lets not pretend he had the talent for a top club

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

People saying Salah TC > Moyes AM feels short sighted. I get to bring in Slot or Emery this week and will probably play TC in another dgw for Isak later on. Think Ill be net positive when reviewing the AM/TC plays this season #fpl

Listen to the noise that place used to generate

The idea that story-driven games aren’t replayable is so strange to me. I eventually bounce off every multiplayer game because I get bored, but I go back to story games again and again just like rewatching a favorite movie, or to experience something new

Speaking of Insta is absolutely how I see it as well. It feels like everything he does is about building his brand. His decision making is often whats best for him and not whats best for the team. I see a very talented individual but not a team player.

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Its a fair point. Back then, it was to address a drinking culture. Now, it would be to address a 'superstar' culture. Time will tell, but in principle its absolutely for the greater good but it absolutely has to pay off

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Totally agree but they did start the second half with Stone Cold Steve Austins theme song by Disturbed at the start of the second half. Kinda jealous of that 1

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Get in United!!! Winning unwinnable games is just the United way! Spectacular defending and chances to win before pens. Every oen was world class and so happy for Bayindir and Zirkzee #ggmu #facup #arsman

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

The boot that was kicked off his foot from the tackle? Absolutely every chance

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

He was absolutely clattered and got told nothing happened? Pretty sure most players would do exactly that

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Absolutely sensational at full speed

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

Devils advocate here. A lot of athletes who get frequently infected hair follicles choose to do this. Those things sting

Up to 10th in #fpl BlueSky league inside the top10k overall and I still cant be sure what Ive done well. Never been more convinced that its a game of luck 😅

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

I think after what he did against Liverpool, any home game should be considered a good game.

Would love to hear best ait nouri and Cunha replacements and Morgan Rogers while we're clearing out

So i dont know why i just did this but ive added up my bench points for just the players who hauled double digits in the last 7 weeks and discovered if i got my team right each week, id presently be joint 736th in the world at the minute..Im sure everyone has the same story though 🤣 #fpl

Here's a reminder of the calendar up to GW38. EVE vs LIV is expected to move to GW24. my chip plan is: - TC Salah in GW24 then probably - Wildcard in GW30 - Assistant Manager in GWs 31-33 (inc. DGW33) - Free Hit in BGW34 - Bench Boost in DGW36

Would you recommend anyone other than Rogers in the £5.3m and under bracket? Or is he still the best option

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Because he held that belief before he was hired. Poor decision to hire, worse decision to fire

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

If that was the reason, theyd have flat out said it I reckon.
