Simon JP @simongriifin.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Stayed at daughter’s new apartment last night. My wife and daughter have their alarms set on snooze but one went off at 6:50 and the other at 6:55. Every 5 minutes they both wake up and fumble for the snooze button😁 010

Simon JP @simongriifin.bsky.social · 09/06/2025@rikdog.bsky.social Canberra had 7,000 no shows for Papali’i and the Raiders are leading the charge for minor premiership. They said sellout but not packed out. The stadium sucks and punters choose to stay home. Cheers 000
Simon JP @simongriifin.bsky.social · 28/05/2025@rikdog.bsky.social Shuffling the backs won’t win the battle up. Needs some hard big forwards. Sadly the best in the NRL are Kiwis or Blues Cheers 020
Simon JP @simongriifin.bsky.social · 25/03/2025@rikdog.bsky.social Did you let Jamie get away with saying rugby was the biggest sport in NZ, after last night? Was a good discussion about 1st XV vs club rugby though. Personally I think the school model stifles pathways. Cliques suppress participation in my experience. Clubs offer options.👍 010

Simon JP @simongriifin.bsky.social · 21/01/2025@mattparrino.bsky.social Thank you for sticking up for Damar Hamlin. Too many Bills fans have been expecting perfection and joined the pile on. Could argue DH was the game winning POD. No player is perfect, even our MVP makes mistakes. 010
