I think the bigger question is if a 12 year old wants to be transgender who cares? If it's a "phase" because they don't understand the psychology behind it then it'll pass, if it's something they want or need then it'll stay. But I don't see the harm, they might be children but they're just starting puberty, emotions and hormones will be all over the gaff you can't tell them what they're allowed to think or feel because you've decided they won't understand it. The same arguments have been made to gay people. And surely if you have transgender adults then surely they would have wanted to be transgender when kids/teens also?

So Saracens are in the process of a 20m development of the Allianz and Wasps can't afford to pay off their stadium...swings and roundabouts I'd love the Irish to have a stadium though, can't be doing with the Madejski when I get home, hopefully at least be moved into Lionel Road by then.

The coverage for it over here is great, it's basically like football at home. I always struggled to get into League at home, the broadcasting always seemed a bit amateur (and not just compared to NRL and Football, but to Union too) and it just seemed so northern, and not in a northern monkey way, but just no way for a southerner to get into it. Over here it's completely different even if there is a Sydney vs Melbourne/NRL vs AFL rivalry.

My first game was Souths vs Newcastle at the ANZ with about 10k-15k in there. It was the worst sporting experience in my life. Alternatively I watched Souths vs Roosters there in the final game of the regular season and it was a sell out nearly. Great for finals and games of that importance, not so much the rest of the season. Ive not been to Leichardt yet so will probably go on September, they're playing there next Sunday but I'll be pissed up in Bondi after a fun run. Manly is nice and probably tough to beat. I wanna go to Belmore, spend a day in Cronulla and go to Kogarah too. I wanna go see the Cowboys but I'm living in Sydney which make things difficult. They're playing Brisbane at home on the 31st so might sneak a long weekend in and fly up there, didn't go to Townesville before so would be a good excuse. Whatd you make of the NRL compared to Super League? Ignoring the difference in quality on the pitch.

Na it's generally just open to the public, think Souths have one pre-season there a year "Return to Redfern", pretty sure they train there too, top right hand side still has their crest, but the rest of the year they play at the ANZ which is a soul destroying stadium both in location and attendance to capacity ratio. Wests do as well for some odd reason, it's basically in Parramatta. I guess the suburban grounds don't bring in the dollar but for me the best place to play NRL games out of the suburban grounds is at the Allianz...only problem being there's no public transport other than a bus and what will be the light rail in a few years and the Allianz already has three tenants in Roosters, Sydney FC and the Warritahs. Ironically the best supported of the three are Sydney FC. Theres lightyears difference between AFL and NRL at the moment, Sydneys over crowded but personally I just don't think the funding is in it for them to stay at their home grounds so the NRL want government funding to turn the ANZ into a primary NRL stadium and the government want to split resources between the ANZ and the Allianz. However less entertaining AFL maybe, the MCG and Etihad are positioned perfectly and they get the crowds.

Who likes a finger up the bum???

I then have to get the train back home over it, just at sunset...

Every time I walk down the office I see the Sydney harbour bridge. Every time.

I liked it personally, good episode.

100 dead in a month was it? Protests before the election (maybe a day before, or just entirely before) made illegal with years worth of prison time to go with it...

Why can't he fly?

Could always play Luiz in midfield if needed?

The above picture also got a like on instagram from a certain Canadian side

I've got the Tube, I've got busses every 5-10 mins. Yeah it can be easier and I'll probably get it when I'm back but it's by no means a necessity in London. Same for Sydney, I can get the train wherever I need to go and I won't need to do much driving out at here whilst travelling.

Maybe not a grand, but even £400 could go towards better things than a driving licence for me at the moment.

There's no Brentford crest on here

I'll get it when im back in the UK mum, travelling first

You're from Perth you have to have a car

Little walk into Redfern today:

I get that but it's been spend a grand on driving lessons or save to go travelling...

Sheffield United first game of the season, I'm sure they'll be looking towards big things this season so it'll be a good test for us. We've got so many options up front now, there's going to be a lot of goals.

26 and still can't drive, fortunately living in the City I don't need to.

So broke at the moment, next pay cheque and I'm going Manly/Roosters. Roosters are at home to the Cowboys today but cannot afford tickets

Classic Bayern.
