@NRLSCC But the game plan is working

@ting959 Show me one outside back that has 2 runs in a half of football in history, let alone an origin prospect.

Can someone at Suncorp let Manly know that Koula is playing for a blues jumper? 2 runs in the first half is disgusting. Bathed Herbert twice in his two touches. Garrick endless ball on the right vs May.

@matt_barrie So will you be exiting all your holdings and putting it in punting markets?

@DrewPavlou They had a bad earnings report today. The ASX is only down .46% so this large dive is unrelated to the budget

The capital gains tax losses on just Commonwealth Bank stocks over the past 24 hours probably cancel out all expected annual new gains under Jim Chalmers CGT changes Nice work Jim

@craigkellyAFEE Pensioners are exempt

If you are earning less than $45,000 your marginal tax rate is zero for $0 – $18,200 and 16% for $18,201 – $45,000. However if you’ve bought a few shares, or maybe invested in a few antiques - that have had a capital gain, sneaky Albanese now wants to tax that not at your marginal rate, but at 30%. Its a direct attack on low income earners and pensioner.

@Ben_Davison1 So why do you need the minimum 30% rate then if you are changing it to indexation to ensure that the full real gains are taxed?

The Wilsons are trying to convince people that the 30% tax on Capital Gains is unfair to “low income earners” A reminder that the 30% tax on wages applies from $45,000 (minimum wage approx) to $135,000 (35% ABOVE average wages) No one on less than minimum wage is an “investor”

@laurencecapel @palejawsh You mean a 7-7 penalty count to end the game?

@palejawsh It wouldn't matter a jot what we did here. NRL was never letting Manly lose this one and Sutton officiating shows it. That last penalty was diabolical. Count is ridiculous too. We have to release instantly and Manly given however long they want.

We look all over the show... Like we havent played together before. Bring Duffy on. Move Hunt to hooker. Idk. We look like arse

@DrewPavlou The budget crisis was made by Adams. He was talking about it before he got elected.

Checking in on Zohran achievements so far: - Killed dozens of homeless people by ending homeless sweeps during horrific blizzard - Returned hundreds of ancient antiquities to India - Budget crisis Woohoo!

@centralNRL For your reference. This is almost an exact comparison point to what you are discussing. If its tax free its because of a loophole and Australia choosing not to enforce residency laws afr.com/wealth/persona…

The PNG tax situation isn’t some loophole, it’s official PNG Government policy. Prime Minister James Marape himself announced it: salaries, monetary benefits, and third-party earnings (like sponsorships) for PNG Chiefs players and officials will be tax-free under PNG law. This is the host country’s sovereign decision to make NRL expansion viable and to attract top talent to build the game (and the economy) in PNG. If the income is earned in PNG, it’s governed by PNG tax rules — not Australian tax assumptions or standard NRL setups. This is completely standard in international sport. Host nations routinely offer tax incentives to lure players and events (plenty of examples in football, F1, etc.). The Australian and PNG governments have backed the broader package, including arrangements for the first 10+ years. Your accounting degree or knowledge of Australian tax law doesn’t override another country’s tax policy on income sourced there. It’s a legitimate incentive. I'm not arguing about whether it's fair or not just stating facts.

@JoeyMannarino That your a moron. The budget was in free fall under Adams. And he has been talking about this prior to becoming mayor

Looks like Zohran Mamdani has successfully bankrupted New York City in just four months. Didn’t I tell you that would happen?

@CamMagicMan @rlexpanda Im also a manly fan. And I think we could fill it if it was at brookvale. But im not sure we could fill that many people at Allianz or Accor

@rlexpanda @ting959 If Manly had a 25k search stadium we would fill it every week. We already have 21k members... and next year it appears appart from 1000 sale tickets for away fans, all other tickets will be members reserved.

Lets check how "great" NRL/NSWRL average Round 8 crowds were in corresponding random Fixtures of bygone years! 1976- 10,519 1983- 5,025 1994- 15,048 (Year pre SL) 2003- 13,967 Those putting current NRL crowd growth squarely on "population growth" are just in denial

@rlexpanda @CamMagicMan You called it nostalgia. Im calling it reality. A full 17.5k stadium is better than 22k in an 80k stadium. From a viewing perspective, crowd perspective and a demand for tickets perspective

@ting959 @CamMagicMan Which brings me back to what I said about Sydney-centricity and elite national leagues.

@rlexpanda @CamMagicMan I wouldnt argue for Souths playing at Redfern. But Accor is way too big. Its why allianz makes sense for them. Moving say Manly or sharks away from their home grounds im not sure would result in bigger crowds and for manly could actually result in smaller ones.

@ting959 @CamMagicMan Which suburban ground? Souths’ suburban ground wouldn’t hold 10k. Filling tiny grounds in the middle of Sydney after 118 years is not impressive for an elite national competition.

@kevinbonham But we have evidence that HTVs affect the way that preferences flow. So by saying this preference deal helps One Nation is accurate.

No it isn't and I wouldn't be sure that it will. A vote for one is not even a *preference* for the other unless the voter so decides.

@rlexpanda @CamMagicMan My argument is that moving games to Accor wouldnt necessarily actually see huge surges in crowd numbers. Souths vs Dragons at accor got 15k people. Theres no reason why it should have been in a 80k seat stadium when it would have been full in a suburban ground.

@ting959 @CamMagicMan So you reckon Souths and Bulldogs should play at Redfern and Belmore then? Yeah that’ll push the average up.

@rlexpanda @CamMagicMan Not that much higher. Accor is averaging 27k this year. And that includes a 49k for the good friday game that massively drags it up. The other three games still average below 20k in an 80k seat stadium

@CamMagicMan Just proves that a Sydney-centric suburban comp is nothing but nostalgia. Imagine what the crowd average would be if we didn’t have 12-17k capacities at regular venues.

@DrewPavlou Define the Australian Demographic

If you stand with Australia how do you feel about the fact that Albanese’s policies will make Australians a demographic minority in their own country

@DanteOnDeck Of the last 5 years it was the 3rd best main event

In terms of wrestling, Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk was one of the best WrestleMania main events in recent history. With Reigns seemingly back on a full-time schedule, I’m expecting a legendary run with the title. He has big shoes to fill after Punk’s reign, but I’m expecting nothing less than greatness from Reigns. Plus, whoever he puts over will become a megastar.

@AdrianRadio93 Why does her doing it in front of 40000 people change the quality of it?

She literally performed a music video live in front of 40,000+ people in the same city that has residency’s with artist like Adele, Mariah Carey, Metallica, Jeezy, Marc Anthony etc etc & then she wrestled one of the best matches of the night at WrestleMania. You tweet for $17

@BasedCLC Interesting that the last 3 years isn't on this list
