Acai bowls, that will do me. The bloke runs and lifts heavy all day, way more than the average joe... he can almost certainly neck a few sweets and not be significantly impacted. Esp. as it's sugar, he'd burn a tonne of it off at training. Not ideal but his calorie intake would already be...

St George not allowed present their strategy to Bula directly, confirmed as currently off-limits by the NRL, so they instead do it via the newspaper (marquee club-building player). What a farce.

Sorry guys I've been only keeping half an eye on the offseason chat, where is Latu Fainu up to?

I've have to watch it to find out

Very Trumpian... "no actually I think they are doing a great job" amidst the flaming train wreck.

Burden of proof fallacy

Richo certainly knew what he was doing - HBG desperate to have him as CEO, put in huge clauses to cover himself from a backstabbing, proven 100% correct. I just wish I was a qualified sports management CEO, there might be a few more smart cookies about who could use HBG for a retirement top-up...
