sad to say this guy is at G20 🤐

A quick question and I guess a judge of people's honesty.
Has anyone here thought, accused or questioned .. Some clubs ability to purchase elite players and somehow remain under the salary cap?
Or Thought the NRL was rigged and favoured other clubs over others ?
Perhaps think referees always seem against us ?
Thumbs up from those who have said yes to any of the above.👍🏻

Rigged is different from biased or uneven.

I would definately say yes to many of those points because all clubs are neither treated equally or fairly imho

He’s at B20 judging by the signage which is not quite the same as the G20.

I didn't ask that though Yoss

Sure but you say after rigged "and favoured one club over another."

I'd classify that as bias rather than rigged.

 

[Carefactor]

Yeah.. it's all just a play on words I guess. Bias to one team isn't exactly above board either is it ?
For instance.. Why would the NRL be bias towards side x ( cough cough rooster's) etc ?

Republicans will probably get behind DeSantis or Hogan or youngkin

Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon probably run as an independent and try and blow the place up

Of course not but bias can be subconscious or favouritism. Rigged to be implies an orchestrated system to produce a predetermined outcome. But as you say, not good!

Pretty close though

B20 is the "official G20 dialogue forum with the global business community"

Sounds like fascism to me

 

[Magpie_Magic]

And didn't the poster child of the "Green " movement Greta Thunberg call for "destruction of capitalism ".

Whatsaboutism?

Close but not identical. There’s heaps of those 20 things. There’s one for unions too,

Those guys words are full of things like "humanity", "care for disadvantaged and environment" etc. but as they finish and collect their cheques, they vanish to their 200 feet mega yachts or Learjets faster than one can say the carbon footprint.

Does this mean one needs to live a life of poverty to care about the disadvantaged or the environment?
