  • Sorry preferably out westen sydney

  • My advice to the son wanting to be a mechanic is don’t. I work in the automotive industry and its a dying trade. The work is just not there any more. Service intervals are increasing and with electrification of cars soon to be the norm there will be less work to do. I have friends with workshops who complain about 2 things, hard to find a good mechanic to employ and second, work drying up. If he wants to do it for about 10 years and then move on to something else then fine however as a long term career I would not consider it.

"Only issue is you might want to sign a player long term, they need to agree. Petrus could very well want to play for PNG eventually but also when it came to schoolboys he chose Australia over PNG. Not sure if that means anything."

"PT exactly as you say " isn't that the whole purpose, identify, develop, experience and hopefully prepared to play NRL." Especially at this crucial time, now more than at any other time! Not just Petrus either!

"Mitchy, an easy way to get $600 million is simply to claw back at least 1.5% of the $40 billion per annum foregone revenue due to giving gas away to foreign multinationals. That is, just make royalties on gas 1.5% more efficient. 
Problem solved!
