I've been staying at my brother's place more lately and have had sardines a few times, always rinsing one off for his orange terror. Every time she gets one, she soon has dinner plates for eyes and is ripping around the room like a maniac. Definitely not safe to put your hand near.

I know people feel great after some deenies, so maybe it affects cats in a similar way? 😼

• I finished setting up my Jobseeker claim on Friday.

• I was told that I would receive my first payment this Thursday coming.

• I was told to sign up for Workforce, which I filled out yesterday (Monday) and linked to my MyGov account. I intend to self manage this.

• I was given a couple of days to fulfill my mutual obligations and report them to Centrelink (due tomorrow).

• I cannot figure out how to self report/there is no option to self report on MyGov or Workforce.

• I would like to inquire about a temporary exemption as my father recently passed away and I have a lot of work to do cleaning and repairing his home to make it saleable. No AI chat robot hotline would give me advice and I was not given the option to speak to a real operator.

• The Digital Services Contact Centre phone line from the Workforce website told me I would be waiting for at least two and a half hours, which I do not have this afternoon and most likely will not have tomorrow.

What can I do? Is emailing the Digital Services Contact Centre my only option? Will I get into any trouble or drama because of this fault that is entirely theirs? Ridiculous.

This is one of the Broncos' biggest issues.

When they came into the comp, they were those unwanted Queenslanders. Then they started winning trophies, and every other team and supporter base only became more Broncophobic. The resulting siege mentality unfortunately disappeared quite a long time ago.

Despite a couple of anomalous years this decade, every other team still turns up to say they beat the Broncs, and every other team's fans celebrate their downfall every time. I don't understand how the guys can read the vitriol every week – win or lose – and not rally together into a tight knit unit.

Hearing the rumours that they party during the week and do somewhat live the rockstar lifestyle as their detractors say is starting to make sense. Sober October last year definitely played a huge part in their victorious run; if only they could do that all year, or even "moderate" their use.

I look at the Panthers and see that siege mentality in their team. They're arguably the Westiest of Westies, often looked down upon by most other Australians because of the areas they represent. Yet, they play with a pride and next man up system that rivals the Broncos' glory days.

Something has to shift. Even though they have the most supporters due to being based in rugby league's capital city, they also have the most haters. Every training session and game should bear a reminder that more people than not want them to fail, and that they're the only ones who can do something about it.
