I just listened to a rant about how werewolves have been mistakenly gendered male when “we already have a mode of thinking of a person who becomes hungry, irritable, and angry as a result of shedding post of their body” and it’s 💯 black hart

We saw a few patterns with this new system vs KC:

1. Lod constantly dropping deep to collect. (Had 12! progressive passes received, most all season)
2. Lod & Bongi swapping positions. (Would've liked to see more Bongi runs in-behind)
3. Lod/Pereyra drop deep together & wingers move central.

I’m out here singing Ace of Base

The Manchester synagogue terrorist was
"intimidating, aggressive and controlling" but showed no sign of extremism before carrying out his lethal antisemitic attack, one of his wives has said.
The woman, who married Jihad al-Shamie in an Islamic ceremony in 2021, said the 35-year-old was "glued to his phone" watching Arabic news channels but did not appear to be on the path to terror.
