'Every game since that day, I look up before kick-off. I'll do it the rest of my career.' Patrick Herbert opens up on the fateful morning that changed his life. ✏️ via dan_walsh64 NRL

Patrick Herbert's life has turned on a dime more than once with the simple dialling of a phone.

"Every game since that day, I look up before kick-off. I'll do it the rest of my career," the Warriors rookie says matter-of-factly."My sister Teresa-May passed away in that time just before last year, she was 17 at the time.Patrick Herbert after his NRL debut."One day at the Dragons I woke up to about 100 missed calls. I still had to go into training that day too. I was just rattled.

"That was the first time I even really looked at rugby league aside from maybe a couple of games here and there. They recruited me as a rugby union player. Five years on, and out the other side of loss that will always stay with him, Herbert got his taste of something different.

'Green not grey': UN head calls time on coal during Pacific climate change missionThe world’s top diplomat has called for no more new coal fired power stations and more ambitious emission reduction targets while visiting the Pacific to tackle climate change 'crisis'. Dear 'top diplomat at UN', While you turn a blind eye to israel US & every other oppression mass killings refugees & genocides, they can keep using coal & let the world burn for all i care! The reason the world is in a bad state is because we have such a weak and useless UN, it would have been better to have no UN so we could create a good one. Hmmm, pity this leader does not appear to apply the same criteria and expectations to all countries including the less developed. Has a single minded objective to force developed countries to fund emissions reduction. One should understand the hidden motives of the UN

CloverMoore Yes, light is needed. Electric light, that is. The whole boom of apartment and office towers will get stuck in power shortages as coal plants close down due to aging while not sufficient renewable capacity INCLUDING hydro storage is built in a timely manner. CloverMoore NSW is energy guzzler number 1, utterly dependent on power imports from Qld and VIC. We did not have load shedding in 2019 like in 2017 because Queensland was not abnormally hot. But with global warming the likelihood of a simultaneous heatwave in all Eastern States will go up CloverMoore I have told the GSC planning panel in Parramatta already twice that they are over booking Sydney's future power supplies by rubber stamping all these highrises, often unwanted by Councils. But they do not want to listen. Sydney's Immigration Metros
