'I'd like to be remembered as someone who works for every single metre. I don’t really want to be remembered for just the hits.' - Jorge Taufua. ✏️ via MadgetheBadge NRL

Jorge Taufua would like everyone to know he does things on a football field other than flattening opposition players.

He's only scored eight in 23 games this year, which is as many as he scored in 2017 when he only played 12 times due to an ACL tear. But the Sharks numbers were not one-offs. He is regularly like a third prop running the ball up after diffusing kicks. "[Coach] Des [Hasler] has also got me doing a lot more effort areas off the ball. I find this year I'm not doing as many carries out of that red zone, because he'd rather me hold shape for me to do something later on in the set.

MadgetheBadge He'll also be remembered for the spits as well.

MadgetheBadge Hopefully he will be also remembered as an integral part of the playing group as a whole. One that was given little chance by observers but played like they weren't listening.

MadgetheBadge Every time you make a break, just hang onto the ball like it's your last dollar

Value and volume of agriculture takes a hit as drought and trade wars escalateABARES forecasts the value of Australia's agricultural production to fall to $59 billion this year, little more than half of the sector's $100m target for 2030. Drought? It's global warming!!! We have the technology to fix everything 'desalination plants and pipelines combined with renewable energy'but apparently we're too greedy to care At the last election, rural seats voted en masse for a group of climate change deniers promoting water theft in the Liberal and National party. Farmers now need to sleep in the bed they have made. The average farmer in Australia produces enough food to feed five hundred other people. This is why cityfolk should never begrudge the support & funding that our primary producers get. Yes just 10000 people keep every single person in Melbourne alive, for now. Support & respect!
