No need to apologize when they can finish 25th and still bring home 100k or 70th and bring home 20k.

NOt sure how many get in this, but if I'm top 200, that'll be a good one for me

 

When my wife asked if I wanted to leave Maine and move to where she grew up, I couldn't say no to Pinehurst, NC. I honestly don't spend much money on golf equipment, but I'm constantly reading reviews in case I ever get ready to buy

I swing left handed and have been the State of Maine Left Hander's champion since 1997, the last year they held the tournament. I'm currently a 7.1 handicap. Trying to get lower, but my gut gets in the way.

So what is the difference between rugby and rugby league.   I also knew no Haka since that is reserved for New Zealand.

I had no clue on the Sharks. I'm pretty sure SBW played for the Roosters at one point, which is pretty much the only reason I recognized the uniform. I only know enough to know that I know basically nothing about the NRL.

So what is the difference between rugby and rugby league.   I also knew no Haka since that is reserved for New Zealand.  

Rugby league has fewer players on the field (13 vs 15), is a bit freer in play, and generally everyone's roughly the same body type. You get 6 tackles to score, or you have to turn the ball over. Score values are lower than in union, and the field looks kinda like an old time American Football field with the posts on the goal line rather than at the back of the end zone. After a tackle, you have to drop back 10 yards before making the next tackle unless you were involved (I think, I don't understand the play-the-ball).

Rugby Union has no tackle limit; you can take as many carries as you wish to try and score. You also have more competitive restarts in rugby union than in league, so you have a bit more variety in body type; You have football linemen for the front row of your scrum, basketball centers for lineouts, and then the tiny guy who looks out of place on the team to run from tackle to tackle and get the ball out and moving again. Pretty much if the ball is in bounds, you can fight over it. They're very different games, in the end.

The rest of the bag is an old Acuity box set. It all goes around on a BagBoy Nitron push cart.

From all the moaning and groaning about picking losers, it would be easy to win if I just knew who y'all picked.  🤣

I’d even change my picks but the site never sends me the link to allow me to make edits.  To help you out my picks are the guys you think will win but end up playing poorly.
