Happening tonight! 🤯

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

Adelaide pals: seldom do we celebrate a Victorian, but we have to make an exception for Wayne Marshall's debut novel, Henry Goes Bush. Launching next Wed at Ern Malley. Free entry, just rock up, and don't worry: LOCALLY-sourced readings from yours truly, Alex Cothren & Jake Dean.

So, I have a lot of respect for Island. And ordinarily, I welcome criticism of my work. But this piece contains several serious factual inaccuracies. Where does this Ferr-Fow joker get off? 😤 Read and decide for yourself: https://t.co/21hdvH7m9n

@BrumbyinTahland @rugby_podcast @Nelsonhdale That's the thing that makes me most nervous about Donno as finisher. His goalkicking record on kicks that really matter is... not great.
I've always wondered if he'd make a better Jordie Barrett-style 12...

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@Nick_Wasiliev @RugbyPass Long overdue! Could make a huge difference to the mindset and confidence of the whole team...

[weird medieval guys NEW BOOK OUT NOVEMBER 5!!! @WeirdMedieval]

this shit runs deep

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@steve_l15 Too soon! I will be emotionally ready to laugh about this in circa 2058...

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@RugbyReg I know there's a lot more to it than this, but also: can Tim pls just get the Levi sisters into the Wallaroos with some decent lead time before the world cup?? ...while also securing Olympic gold in the 7s. Surely not too much to ask?

[Bird Michael From Twitt℮r @wtb_Michael]

For what it's worth (very little these days alas), I'm thrilled to see Josephine Rowe's excellent and terribly under-appreciated Little World on the Miles Franklin longlist - hope it wins!!!

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

I don't want to alarm anyone, but Wayne Marshall's historical/literary/speculative romp, Henry Goes Bush, is at large and roaming the countryside. Track down a copy however you can.

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

In scenic Bacchus Marsh today for the launch of Wayne Marshall's epic Henry Goes Bush!

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@NotRobSimmons @steve_l15 I think there's a genuine case to be made that he should be a Wallabies RWC last-20 specialist. How many times has he turned games?

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@steve_l15 Imagine Hooper and Pistol starting, and then Valetini and Cale subbing on at 50 minutes... 🤤

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@steve_l15 Love it! This is the kind of content that justifies the Internet's continued existence. I don't think it's possible to overstate how impressive a win this was. Hopefully can form a psychological bedrock for a big, big season.

@haribaldijones @MegafoonRugby @LekkerRugbyPod Don't get caught up with notions of delayed gratification and future reward. In the long run, we are all dead. This Sunday afternoon just gone, for at least 2 hours, the Brumbies were the best rugby team in the world!

[Christy Doran @ChristypDoran]

Drought breakers.

The Brumbies have beaten the Crusaders 50-24 in Christchurch to end a 26 year drought!

Famous victory.

Bravo to Stephen Larkham, his coaching team and the players.

Slipper, Valetini, Cale + unsung hero Andy Muirhead first class. Complete performance.

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@ARenardson @JohnBFergo Yep, I got this, too after 45 minutes. Now I'm hedging my bets by getting in the queue on 2 different devices. But, also, getting hungry/grumpy/hangry!

[Florence Lox 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @floboflo]

Rugby positions explained:
1,2&3 nice wee chubby guys. One of them has to be brainy. Often a GP.
4&5: the two tall ones. One has to be brainy. They take turns each at being sin binned.
6,7&8: two of them are called flankers and look normal ish. One of them is called the number 8. Not sure which.
9 wee jolly guy. Likes to kick the ball straight in the air.
10 brains, nice hair, knows roughly what’s going on
11&14 fast, tries not to get too involved
12&13 two actual athletes who have got involved by accident
15 big show off, boots it, catches it, boots it again

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@SueMOrr @thebooksdesk Thanks, Sue! Hope all well with you!

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

Many thanks to Emma Rayward and Meanjin(!) for this thoughtful review of Here Are My Demands. All my world-building was not for nothing! (And now I'm inspired to go harder in my next spec-fic effort...) https://t.co/v2LC3bZFGh
