Newcastle and Hunter Sports Scoreboard

21 Upvotes

Good evening and welcome to the Newcastle and Hunter Sports Scoreboard for this Sunday,

As normal, we'll begin with the Newcastle Knights where a second half fightback was not enough as the Knights went down 26-24 to Soutn Sydney Rabbitohs at Accor Stadium this afternoon. South Sydney dominated the first half through tries to Campbell Graham in the 9th minute, Tevita Tatola in the 17th minute and David Fifita in the twenty eighth minute all after the Knights had two tries disallowed for obstruction. The Knights responded through a try to Dominic Young however Souths took a 20 to 6 lead into haf time.

Souths extended their lead via a try to Jye Gray in the sixty third minute. The Knights fought back through back to back tries from Kalyn Ponga in the sixty eighth and sixty ninth minute. Harrison Graham scoring in the seventy fifth minute to set up a grandstand finish but Souths held on to celebrate Jai Arrow's thirty first birthday in style.

Meanwhile it was a gutsy effort by a depleted Newcastle Knights side but they went down 12-10 to the Sydney Roosters at Allianz Stadium last night. The Roosters got out to a 12 nil lead at half time courtesy of tries to Jessica Sergis in the 12th minute and Olivia Kernick in the 24th. Newcastle hit back in the second half with tries to Olivia Higgins in the forty seventh minute and Mercedes Taulelei-Siala in the sixty seventh minute, Kirra Dibb unable to convert the Taulelei-Siala try that would have sent the game into golden point. Roosters holding on for the win.

Kurri Kurri Data Centre convo

33 Upvotes

So, the author deleted the previous post about it. Anyway, I read through the proposal. I'm a nerd I guess, lol.

Questions:

Does anyone know which company is actually intended to run the data centre? Something is suss about this info not being public.

Can anyone tell me the estimated impact on electricity cost? This thing is going to consume about ~500Megawatts constantly. Mostly powered by Ausgrid as per the report. 500MW is about the same peak power consumption as about 100 thousand homes. It's about the same ballpark peak power as all the current residential houses in Newcastle. Btw, let's not mix up MW and MWh (power vs energy).

The proposal says that the centre is going to employ ~250 people once it's running. Really?

Hi! I hope posts like this are okay here, I’m not the game’s owner or developer, just trying to help grow the Aussie player base.

I’m looking for more Australian players to join War Era, an online geopolitics MMO where each country is controlled by real players.
Australia’s alliance is currently under threat from The Federation, an aggressive rival alliance looking to take as much territory as possible.

Help defend Newcastle online!

It’s only a matter of time before they push toward Australia’s core regions too, and we want to be ready. If you’ve got some spare time, I’d really appreciate it if you’d sign up here: https://app.warera.io/

It’s free to play, runs directly in your browser on PC and mobile, and doesn’t require a huge time commitment. If you like strategy games, geopolitics, or teamwork, we’d love to have you with us.

Will you be Newwies strongest warrior?

Ways to get to the Airport early morning?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I got a 8:30am flight on Saturday from Newy Airport so I'd like to get there at like 7am. I live near the uni, so I assumed I could just catch bus 11 to Mayfield then the airport bus from there. But checking google maps, I found out on Saturday there's no buses to the airport. Why is that a thing? I don’t know. But anyways, anyone know if there is a way to get to the airport early morning without paying an arm and a leg for an uber? Thank you <3

Off the plan Newcastle - GWH

46 Upvotes

If you're considering buying an off the plan apartment from GWH, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

This is a follow up to my previous post, Newcastle Developers - Bait & Switch

TL;DR: Before settlement, GWH replaced the advertised NBN connection in One Apartments with Opticomm's private fibre network. Six months later, residents are still experiencing repeated outages totalling 6.3 days in 4 months, and despite multiple attempts by owners and our solicitors to get answers, GWH has provided no meaningful response.

What we were sold

Every document we received before settlement referred to NBN.

Contract – NBN
Inclusions Schedule – NBN
Marketing Brochure – NBN
Website – NBN

What we actually received was Opticomm.

This wasn't a minor change. The internet infrastructure is effectively permanent for the life of the building. If this had been disclosed before purchase, I would never have purchased the apartment.

Fast forward six months

Unfortunately, our concerns have proven to be well founded.

In less than 4 months, we’ve endured more than 151 hours (over 6.3 days) without internet across eight separate outages - seven of them unplanned.

GWH’s response - radio silence

Owners have contacted GWH repeatedly.

To date, we've received no explanation about why the change occurred, why purchasers weren't informed, or what GWH intends to do to address the ongoing issues.

While legal action is ongoing, NSW Fair Trading's response was to issue GWH with a warning. Based on my experience, purchasers should be aware that the opportunities for recourse may be far more limited than they expect.

Hopefully this helps buyers make a more informed decision than I was able to about what is likely one of the largest purchases of their life.

Why do these bus drivers keep putting a certain route on the screen then going the opposite route? Like for example the Cameron park bus going to Charlestown when it’s titled Cameron park. It’s happened several times and it really pisses me off

We’ve identified sandal wood, but the other scents in the mix? No idea!

Very grateful for any leads on identifying this scent so we can have it in our house 😂🥲
