The NRL gives Moran a 1-match ban for being off-message about the Queen but lets Taylan May defer his 2-match ban in the men’s comp, for violently assaulting a member of the public in a way that could easily have been life-threatening, until after the finals. A sick joke.

Why is this tree leaning? 🤔
It's an Araucaria columnaris, or CookPine, native to New Caledonia. When grown outside New Caledonia the whole tree leans towards the equator. The further away from the equator the larger the lean.
