  • Future Australian Team Members?

    The current mix of Australian Cricket Team members appears to have a lack of leadership and no cohesion between players! Could you recommend emerging players that have ability, humble attitude and the desire to win for themselves, team & Country! My sources indicate that despite injury Pat Cummins is the truth, is there any others?

  • Queensland Origin Injury Replacements?

    Game 2- Queensland & NSW punished each other! I'm proud Queensland supporter and admired the effort of NSW last-night, in particular Robbie Farah, Tim Grant & Todd Carney. The collisions were heavy and forced errors from Queensland, which ultimately got NSW over the line.

    Question:

    * If Billy Slater PCL Injury is serious, who replaces him?

    * Providing Greg Inglis moves to fullback, who replaces him at Left Center?

    * Corey Parker & Sam Thaiday, who replaces them from the bench?

    * If Brent Tate is injured & Darius Boyd moves to Left Center, who replaces wing position?

    - Options:

    Fullback: Ben Barba, Greg Inglis or Darius Boyd

    Left Center: Greg Inglis, Darius Boyd, Matt Gillett or Ben Teo

    Right Wing: Brent Tait, Ashley Graham, Justin O'neill or Chris McQueen

    Bench Forwards: Ben Teo, Aiden Guerra, Josh McGuire, Martin Kennedy or Jacob Lillyman

  • State of Origin 2012 Selection?

    * I want your interpretation of the most likely selected players for both states, taking into consideration form, injury, return from injury, combinations, suspension, versatility & cohesion as squad. My selections are based on Queenslands precedent of keeping the core group & despite being born bred Queenslander, I would really like to see New South Wales consolidate a genuine threat this year with raw aggression.

    QLD:

    1. Billy Slater 2. Darius Boyd 3. Justin Hodges 4. Greg Inglis 5. Chris McQueen 6. Jonathan Thurston 7. Cooper Cronk 8. Matthew Scott 9. Cameron Smith 10. Petro Civenoceva 11. Nate Myles 12. Sam Thaiday 13. Ashley Harrison 14. Matt Gillett 15. Ben Hannant 16. David Taylor 17. David Shillington

    (Not sure on Jacob Lillyman- but deserves a run pending form, Cherry Evans/Barba too early as Gillett adds variety across the park in the event of injury replacement during games, Yow Yeh/Parker out, Martin Kennedy awaiting, Chris McQueen on the wing coz he's tough, fast, unit & combines with Dave Taylor n Inglis

    NSW:

    1. Brett Stewart 2. Akuila Uate 3. Jamie Lyon 4. Josh Morris 5. Brett Morris 6. James Maloney 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Paul Gallen 9. Danny Buderus 10. Michael Weyman 11. Anthony Watmough 12. Luke Lewis 13. Greg Bird 14. Ryan Hinchcliffe 15. Aiden Tolman 16. Feleti Mateo 17. Kade Snowden

    (Not sure if Tariq Sims returns on time, T-Rex out, Glen Stewart injured, Soward defense concerns, Carney doesn't deserve it over Maloney consistent, Kurt Gidley niggle injury, Tigers lack of form may hurt Chris Lawrence, Ennis/Farah cant match Cam Smith, only Buderus can trump... Hayne/Dugan injury concerns.

  • Where can I get a power purchase agreement?

    * I have created Tidal Renewable Energy Technology with my family, we have funded our own Research & Development over the past 5 years. I'm born and raised in Queensland Australia, and my ambition is to manufacture the product here, create local jobs, and rollout the production throughout our Country.

    Australian Government Politicians have introduced a Carbon Tax, which in simple terms is The mother of all Taxes. Turns out they are pocketing 71 Billion every year from the tax. I'm seeking guidance from anyone who knows how to obtain a (PPA) Power Purchase Agreement. This means I will be able to utilize this document to leverage against, which will give me the ability to fund my entire operation. I am seeking at least 12 Giga Watts as the capacity amount for the PPA.

    Seriously we have had enough of politicians talking crap, whilst they keep pushing the nation into more debt. If you can answer that would be a great help, even if you can give some ideas. www.tidengen.com.au

  • Australian Government Politics?

    * Prime Minister Julia Gillard will be responsible for destroying Australia prime agricultural food bowl lands, as she revoked legislation making Coal Seem Gas (CSG) exploration active on food bowl pastures. This legislation was protected, because mining the gas is fine, but not if the chemicals from the (CSG) poison the water table. It means in the coming years Australia will have to import all food from International countries because minority politicians dictate under the umbrella of democracy.

    Do you know of how many mines there are on CSG? Are you aware that our elected leaders have sold out there people? Do you think the water will not be poisoned from mining under the agricultural hot spots? Do you think the Gas that is mined will make Australian Electricity prices do down, or do you think we won't see any of it, and it will go to China?

    What are your thoughts on this major issue, and if you aren't even concerned about it, I'd love to here your thoughts on the topic?

  • Tidal Renewable Energy Technology?

  • West Tigers Supporters 2012?

    * The club let's go emerging players Andrew Fifita & Bryce Gybbs to Cronula, who need the help after losing Kade Snowden & Luke Douglas. They then import Adam Blair, and allegedly are bidding on Josh Dugan. However import Joel Reddy from Parramatta. Despite being a Brisbane Bronco's supporter, I think West Tigers have a solid team. My question to everyone is in relation to where the players will slot and blend, and in particular what's the long term strategy behind the move.

    For example: It's been noted that Chris Lawrence is speculated to move to Five-Eighth, and has been ear-marked equivalent to Laurie Daly. This move would see Joel Reddy center pairing with Blake Aysford, which is an extremely talented & youthful backline. Benji Marshall would slot to fullback, which would allow him to really be creative and destroy teams all round the park.

    It's scary to think of Adam Blair, Gareth Ellis & workhorse Chris Heighington in the backrow, accompanied with young props. I'm of the opinion Benji Marshall is looking to adopt the Number 1 jersey, in respect to The NZ International Team, which would allow Keiran Foran to play his natural Number 6 role, and slot Warriors Halfback Shaun Johnson @ Number 7.

    I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic I have dribbled up... Sweet as

  • Your preference of props?

    Let's say you privately owned an NRL Team. Which two props would you pay $400,000.00 per season for and why?

    * I'd select Martin Kennedy & Dave Taylor- Martin is fast for his size, hits hard in defense, young upcoming player, good attitude & isn't scared of hard-work at training. Dave is huge, good footwork, ball playing skills with kicking game if needed, destroys people in defense- can be lazy sometimes, and needs to have Number 10 on his back, not 12.

  • Investment offer & Company Evaluation?

    Here's my product: www.compressngen.com

    Here's the dilemma:

    * The value of my product & company exceeds beyond expectations. Remember The Global Energy Production- Coal, Oil, Gas, Nuclear, Renewables etc, service two thirds of the worlds population. My product has the ability to supersede, and open the one third that doesn't have power. The challenge is to value this product globally, considering population growth- it's near impossible.

    * Inviting Investment? If I can't value the company, How do I allow Investors to seed the product?

    Remember I have approached investment bankers, consultants & brokers. They all talk a good game, have remarkable self appointed profiles, but have no idea in relation to investing, as they have never owned or operated there own business, and manage other peoples money, therefor share no responsibility if there decisions go pear shaped.

    My question is: How do I value this product, so we can IPO? How do I get educated Investors that have extremely high networth i.e. Rothschild Yiddish members? (I can't stand idiot gois)

  • The Footy Show or The Game Plan?

    If we are all thinking it, then it must be said! Channel 9 Footy Show, regardless of how many self-appointed Logie Awards, is not informative or entertaining anymore. Gone are the days of The Fatman, Paul Harrigan, Sterlo & Matty, now they hardly talk about footy, it's all revolving around Sports Bet, which is there sponsor (talk about feathering your own nest) dito! However I think The Game Plan on OneHD is far more educating then The Footy Show, even The Sunday Roast is better. What I enjoy is the detail in how the game is played, not all the fluff around it, I enjoy the strategy being explained. The Footy Show needs the old panel back, where it was entertaining and focused on footy. Keep vossy n his stats away, his vocal tone is irritating. What are your thoughts?

  • New World Currency- Private Global Energy Reserve?

    I'd like to know if there is anyone out there, that has the mental capacity to comprehend my concept. Energy generation comes at a cost, regardless of whether it's Coal, Oil, Gas, Wind, Solar, Nuclear etc. I'd like to create a Private Global Energy Reserve, similar to The Federal Reserve, however The New World Currency would be Kilowatt hours to Currency. I want to shift the focus away from Energy products, and focus on the electricity generation- which converts to currency. The marvel is that you cannot speculate or inflate the value of a generated electricity kilowatt. It is the purest form of currency because it is backed by a tangible source that seeds all economies, and that is Power. The masses care only about The Electricity generated, not whether it is Green or Coal, most the time, no one really knows- They just want the result.

    * I have the product that will act as the catalyst to drive this concept- www.compressngen.com

    * I want to know if there are allies out there that can pull this off?
