Floods thread

I hope all our QLD and North Coast members are doing ok , Looks like the East Coast is far from out of the wars yet , let's hope nobody from here has copped it too badly.  I know we have a few around Lismore and Northern Rivers area in NSW .

  • what a wild weekend - never seen that intense level of rain for that long - think monsoon intense rain for 4-5 days with just intermittent breaks.And just when you thought it was gone, down it came again.

    places like gympie reportedly had 450mm dumped in an hour on friday....

     

    • It's nutso, are you a QLDer , Rock ? 

      • i am a hawkesbury/blacktown boy but have been living in brisbane since 2007 - would never say i am a qld'er lol

        over 800mm since friday

        • FMD, wasn't that long ago we were copping fines for watering our lawn.  800mm is a fucking shitload.  If they cop that round Northern Rivers on the high tide it's not going to be pretty. 

          • Grafton will go under, you only have to spit in the Clarence and its time to get out the sand bags.

            • Yeah unfortunately the mighty Clarence eats levees for breakfast. On a positive I was talking to Grunta earlier and he sent me a photo of his place .

              • We got 650mm over three days. It's farking wet! Blocked both directions on the road out front, but all good. The kids haven't eaten since last Thursday, but I have beer.

                BTW...the view at my place is a bit average, but the rest of the world AND the flood can get well and truly fucked.

                Now little Johnny, sapped of energy you may be, but Dad's been busy fertilising his buffalo grass, get him a beer will ya boy?

                Oh, thanks for the blog and thoughts Wiz. I never notice the'social' blogs on this shitful newish platform.

                • Glad you've got the beer mate 😂.  I've heard eating the labels off the stubbies have kept kids alive for at least 5 days. Get them peeling them off for you Grunts and I reckon you'll get 2 or 3 days eating minimum being a grown man.  Glad you're good bro.  

              • That's just his normal, he hasn't had any rain yet !!!!

                • No power now for two days. Luckily I have a beach house only 15 minutes away on a headland and totally off the grid. Life can be tough, but you've just got to do your best 😜 
                  No reception at all, Telstra towers down. At Wooli hotel chewing their wifi and having lunch. Fark work...

Injuries and age - who makes the cut?

We all know the roster is aging and lack of young talent coming through is a problem. Adding in the unbalanced salary cap sees us in the current situation we're in. Question is - given the age and injury toll, does anyone see any players being let…

If not Bennett, then who?

So while i lay around not feeling well on a cold and wet Sunday, i thought if not Bennett than who would be the right person to take us forward? Many would say "Anyone" and that would be a very reactionary decision based on the hatred of the current…
