That Matto Sheila related to Ryan Matto? The thing in the jar looks like him.

For 200k in two months she would only need to bottle 3 farts a day. That seems manageable.

Kevvie scrambling as Covid curse rocks Broncos on eve of NRL
Broncos marquee recruit Adam Reynolds could miss the club’s first round clash after contracting Covid.Reynolds, 31, is a key player for Kevin Walters and his potential exclusion will throw a massive spanner in the Broncos plans for the start of the season.
Kobe Hetherington has also returned a positive Rapid Antigen Test and is in home isolation until they receive their PCR results.
In line with NRL return-to-play protocols, if their PCR tests return a positive results they will not be available for the Broncos Round 1 clash against the Rabbitohs.
Has anyone got an opinion on COVID testing. Are there flaws?
Being a close contact, sweating and breathing on each other, if one player is infectious then you would think all 34 players are at serious risk, and the officials.
The only ones who would be safe are those who avoid contact, like Noffa. 🤣

Simpler loading and fewer offences: NRL set for new judiciary code hours before season kick-off
By Adam Pengilly
Updated March 10, 2022 — 12.14pmfirst published March 9, 2022 — 6.36pmThe NRL is poised to significantly overhaul the controversial loading system and reduce the number of categories for offences under match review committee and judiciary changes to be rushed through before the season kick-off on Thursday night.
In a minute-to-midnight scenario, the summer’s long-awaited changes to the way players are sanctioned and dealt with for on-field discretions was signed off only hours before premiers Penrith host Manly in the 2022 opener.
Former coaches and referees will now be eligible to join the NRL judiciary panel and match review committee, while players will have their records wiped clean for the start of the 2022 season.
While there were suggestions the NRL was willing to wait until later in the season to finalise its new blueprint, sources familiar with the situation have told the Herald it could be in place before the opening night blockbuster at BlueBet Stadium in Sydney’s west after around-the-clock work from officials, including new ARL Commission member Alan Sullivan QC.
A central change to the system will be a new policy on how loading is calculated for repeat offenders, which has been a complex formula where players can serve greater penalties because of previous offences within the preceding two years.
A 50 per cent loading to a base charge is added for prior similar offences in the past two years, while a 20 per cent penalty is calculated for other indiscretions during the same period.
Tyrell Fuimaono was banned for five weeks by the NRL because he has a string of recent serious offences, including his high tackle on Ryan Papenhuyzen last season.CREDIT:GETTY
For example, St George Illawarra forward Tyrell Fuimaono served a five-match suspension – instead of the standard three – for a charge stemming from a hip-drop tackle during the trials that ended the season of Eels winger Haze Dunster, who tore his ACL. Fuimaono had a litany of former charges against his name.
However, the NRL is poised to make the system far easier to understand when it comes to repeat offenders.
The premise of players entering early guilty pleas to offences to avoid trips to the judiciary will remain in place, but a push from clubs to simplify the variety of charges that a player can be hit with is set to consolidate the number of offences.
The existing judiciary code features 14 categories, ranging from tripping and kicking to detrimental conduct and shoulder charges.
The NRL has used its old judiciary code for this year’s trial matches, which included several controversial incidents stemming from the second week of pre-season games.
Wests Tigers co-captain James Tamou was banned for only one week after an attempted charge down on Roosters whiz kid Sam Walker went horribly wrong, while Roosters prop Lindsay Collins avoided suspension for a “cannonball” tackle on Jackson Hastings in the same game.
The Rugby League Players Association has argued for a fairer system around fines for minor incidents, which it says is crippling players at the lower end of the scale, but there’s unlikely to be a major change to the monetary penalties.
Under last year’s system, a player with a clean record was still fined $1500 for a grade-one careless high tackle, regardless of whether they earn $1 million a season or just $120,000.
A range of players has argued the threshold for fines was significantly lowered after last year’s Magic Round crackdown on high contact, which resulted in record weekly match review committee charges.
The NRL’s match review committee will be sweating on the new system being in place before they meet on Friday morning to assess any incidents stemming from the Panthers-Sea Eagles match.
