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 .

                • 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 !!!!

                    • Accept my freind request Grunta ya Wally , it's been sitting there half of my adult life . Or do I need to take a hint ? 

        • Da Rock hope you're ok Da Rock. I was in the Hawkesbury for about 16 years, and loved it. Was on the North Richmond side. Think it was 2011 when the bridge was closed for a day or two...thing it coincided with Brisbane / Nth Wild torrential rains. Warragamba was opened and the bridge went under. It was an eerie feeling for a day or two but we were v lucky.

How would you have pitched it to him to stay Mutt? Genuinely, how would you sell Apa on staying if you were Football Manager?"

I just meant that body maturity of Joash is from 2 to 3 solid years of Cup fixtures getting belted around where Apa lacks that amount of exposure thus far."

"Nah he is worth more than 80k. He is better than a development contract. He deserves a top 30 contract to be the back up fullback at a club. I do not think he is a starter in any position for any club."

"Renzo is 20 but yea I would take Renzo defence over Twiddle. Renzo actually puts his body in front of players. In SG Ball & JF I have seen Renzo absolutely fold forwards in half with a big hit. Not yet seen it in NSW Cup though."

"Renzo is 18, Twidle is 22. Which one is going to grow more? Renzo is a more than 80% tackle effectiveness so far in his NSW Cup career. It's actually the same as Mitch's career tackle effectiveness. "
