I was trying to figure out where 600 stoppages would be in a Rugby League game, but I'm assuming it counts tackles, and wriggling around like a fish.  Which quite clearly aren't stoppages.

er.....yes that most definitely is stop/start.

Meh I see it differently, which they quite clearly aren't stoppages.  I see it as a fast moving exciting game.  While watching 10 min scrums, penalty after penalty, to maybe inch out a chance for a drop kick isn't.  But guess that's why we have two codes.  Each to their own.  

Playing the ball isn't a stoppage just like rucking (or whatever its called when they recycle in Union) isn't a stoppage. There is no ref interference at playing of the ball.

League is so much faster than union the 2 really aren't comparable.

I accept League scrums might as well not occur, but its just a way of restarting the game. And if the alternative is the rugby union farce of a scrum Ill take league any day

Yeah, I lol'd

Funny if you have seen then mildly cyrus controversy

This is probably a simple question but im going to ask anyway

My understanding of the I poker client is that it auto saves HH's to computer being used. Therefore can data not just be captured and reviewed afterwards (offline in tracking software)? then stats pulled up for the next time you play?

Am I missing something?

Massive nay from me, I don't recollect seeing a tatoo on a girl that I liked.

+1

I can think of several but it might not have exclusively been the tattoo that I liked

Id need a close up personal view to give my opinion, but pretty sure id like it after seeing it up close

binked a seat for a tenner last night by winning back to back satellites.

Love DTD, see you all there on the saturday!

well done

anyone else won a seat yet?

Yeah I crept through last night too! Not decided if playing on line or making the trip

Blehhhhh worse than I thought.

Roll: $4667

Not going to let what happened last time and go into a massive oblivion. Just seems pretty amazing how running bad comes in stretches like this. This is all really bad timing as my birthday is coming up in a couple of days (30th) and I'm going to Weymouth for a week with the missus. I don't come back until SCOOP and I won't be able to play any events unless I win the world tomorrow.

So, for the time being I'm just going to play $33 and below to get confidence back and for a bit of damage limitation.

Ha! We share a birthday!

I know, I searched for something on blonde a couple of days ago to do with my username and the top hit was a thread saying "Happy birthday to lucky_scrote and outrageous76". Happy birthday in advance

you too

(I note your cant bring yourself to spell my name incorrectly/correctly ) 

I think this was supposed to be a Spurs thread..........................

oh dear

Technically the idea of the game is to kick the ball over the bar. Historically, the only way you could do that was to put the ball down over the line, following which you were allowed to have a go at kicking the ball over the bar; hence, this putting the ball down was called getting a try.

I prefer union tbh, but am more than happy watching either code.

Im going to do a "camel"

I actually actively dislike Union as it shows up everything that is terrible about this country ! It is a sport based on the class system. It has to be one of the few sports where the grass roots are terribly supported but the International level of the game has a disproportionate following (and for all of the wrong (corporate) reasons).

The number of people who I hear "love rugga" but cant tell you the most basic of rules is simply embarrassing, and especially moreso when sat underneath "Twickers" having a corporate lunch awaiting kick off.

The number of professional people who "love rugga" because they feel they have too is even more painful.

Its the embodiment of our antiquated class system still trying to play itself out through sport.

rugby union just always seems a mess of a game to me

i dont mind rugby league

RL is too structured

Run straight ahead 5 times, get tackled, kick it on the sixth

Other team has a go

If you are close to the line you can't get through very often so have to kick it in the air and hope you win a 50-50 catch, or a grubber kick and a different 50-50 chance

I am a Union fan, which is a game hamstrung by its current rules but exhiliarating at best

I'm not a fan of either rugby's, but how anyone could prefer union to league is beyond me.

Im absolutely certain that you show any individual a game of league & union who has never watched rubgy and they would never chose union! It is one of the worst spectator sports there is.  The "pleasure" in the game tends to be in the nuances of the rules and therefore the plays taken. It is so unbelievably dull  it hurts.

A game finished 18-21 and there hasn't been a try! So wait..................... the idea is to run with the ball across the line, but nobody did that today and the score was 18-21! errrrrrrrrr ok!

All you need in Union is a world class kicker and you will win!

One thing that felt a little out of place for me, and I think its the first time something hasn't made sense, was how Jesse put 2 and 2 together to realise it was Saul who lifted the ricin cigarette. Its not very Jesse-esque.

Jesse is smart in a street way, he takes what people tell him, applies street knowledge and "gets it" in his own way. The he reapplies what he has leant. That's his character. Deducing things from scratch not really his style. As soon as the episode ended I rewound straight back to that scene thinking I had missed something. But no, he worked it out. I thought that was a little bit non Jesse.

It was when he was waiting for the pickup - he went to get his weed out of his pocket, and when he couldn't find it, realised that the fat guy had lifted it when he blocked the door on the way out. Then when he looked at the cigarettes he remembered about the ricin.

I get that, but there is no real link between the 2 incidents. It's not his style to "work things out". Just seemed a bit misplaced to me

He def has cancer. Rewatch the "flash forward" of first episode season 5 as well. When he gets the keys in the bathroom, the camera pans away, you see him cough and take his anti sickness tablets

"Why not give them all the same equipment and then we see competitive racing and the best driver will come out on top?"

To be fair they tried that with A1 racing and nobody bothered to watch.  

But it takes time, you have to get to know the characters and people involved.

A bunch of no names driving round is of no interest to anyone.

Put Alonso, Hamilton and Webber in the same type of car and let them race.

You don't think people would watch that?

Its been done several times (pretty sure indy car has significant restrictions).

F1 has always been the pinnacle and worked as it does
