Albo and V'landys. Best mates. Origin in the chairman's suite. White House dinner courtesy of the PM.
V'landys says "don't do it" on the gambling ad ban. Albo folds like a cheap deckchair. Murphy report rots for 1,000+ days. Then a gutless half measure.
The bloke running rugby league is in bed with the bookies. The bloke running the country is in bed with him.
This stinks. Mates rates for the betting industry while families get bled dry. Labor sold you out for a seat in the corporate box.

Time for fans to walk away until there's an independent review of officiating and the game's commercial ties to bookies. No more marking your own homework. Publish the findings. Fix the system. Fans don't owe this version of the game another dollar.

Digital Credit, in Saylor's words, is DAT preferred equity that behaves like short-duration high-yield credit.
Think Strategy $STRC: variable-rate perpetual preferred. Pays a cash dividend. No maturity. Rate adjusts so it tries to hug ~$100 par.
As of Feb 2026, STRC's indicated dividend was 11.25%.

Tried @OrbitXPay like I was actually sending money. Code E67D34F5.
Landed faster than Wise and the fee was a joke next to my bank’s FX.

The NRL is corrupt as hell. Bookies who are also the competition’s biggest sponsors are the sole beneficiaries of the rule changes and the officiating. The game is turning into a farce. Major investigations need to start now or the NRL is dead.

Is the nrl trying to make fans hate the game? The officiating needs an investigation asap!

Labor could launch a royal commission into the Big Build corruption scandal and pause the rollout of the $34bn Suburban Rail Loop if Jacinta Allan was forced out of the top job, according to senior insiders > bit.ly/4uWFTpi

Get arrested in Australia for even thinking about a protest these days. Unless its a government funded protest to push their agenda.
A further two people have been charged as investigations continue into a planned public assembly in Sydney’s CBD.

The Trump Legacy: A Masterclass in Betrayal
Donald Trump will go down as the worst president in history. He didn't save America; he sold it off piece by piece while plunging the world into chaos.
Global Collapse: His reckless foreign policy set the stage for the wars, fuel shortages, and food crises currently strangling the global economy.
Economic Warfare on the Poor: He didn't fight for the "forgotten man." He oversaw the systematic draining of the middle and lower classes, leaving working families broke while his billionaire donors got richer.
The Ultimate Grifter: He treated his own supporters like a personal ATM, shamelessly extracting money through Trump and Melania crypto tokens and endless digital scams.
The Swamp Grew: He didn't drain the swamp, he filled it to the brim with lobbyists and then used the pardon power to let his criminal cronies walk free.
Protected the Elite: Despite his rhetoric, he protected the Epstein-linked pedophiles and the very "deep state" elites he claimed to be fighting.
Sold Out to Israel: He completely surrendered American interests to Israel, prioritizing a foreign government’s agenda over the needs and sovereignty of the American people.

Amazing all these supply problems happen at once... not like this is manufactured to raise prices and get us ready for lockdowns again.
"Australia's largest ammonia plant will be shut for two months to repair damage caused by a power outage, amidst a global supply crunch for the vital fertiliser and explosives ingredient."
We have a problem. boilingcold.com.au/glitch-sh…

Rugby league is being pulled away from its roots, and a lot of fans can see it.
Under Peter V'landys, the game feels like it is chasing an American style sports model instead of protecting what made it great in the first place. Since when did rugby league need manufactured spectacle to survive? Why are we introducing drink breaks in New Zealand conditions that do not justify them? That is not player welfare. That is ad inventory.
Quarters. Expanded benches. Constant stoppages. Reviews on reviews. The flow that defined rugby league is being carved up piece by piece. This game was built on fatigue, grit, momentum swings, and relentless pressure. That was the theatre. Now it feels segmented and over managed, as if we are trying to retrofit an Australian code into an American broadcast template.
The gambling saturation is impossible to ignore. Betting logos everywhere. Odds updates mid broadcast. Markets restricted when they suit. Fans are being turned into punters first and supporters second. When certain try scorer markets disappear or tighten up without transparency, it raises legitimate questions. When officiating interpretations fluctuate week to week, people notice.
And then there is the officiating itself.
Referees used to adjudicate. Now it feels like they manage. Set restarts at key moments. Momentum swings that look engineered. The bunker stepping in on microscopic technicalities while obvious flow killing inconsistencies slide. The rule changes seem endless, and rarely in favour of simplicity. Each tweak chips away at the organic chaos that made the sport compelling.
Rugby league did not need to be “fixed.” It needed to be protected.
This game survived because it was raw. Because it was tribal. Because it was tough and imperfect and honest. When administrators prioritise broadcast metrics, gambling partnerships, and manufactured drama over integrity and continuity, fans start to disengage.
Ratings matter. Revenue matters. But if integrity erodes, everything built on top of it eventually collapses.
Rugby league belongs to the players and the fans. Not to betting companies. Not to advertisers. Not to executives chasing the next commercial experiment.
If we keep reshaping the sport to fit corporate interests instead of preserving its soul, we will wake up one day and realise the game we loved is gone.
