Harrison Reed/Handout via REUTERS SYDNEY - Torrential rain pummelled Australia's southeast on Thursday, triggering flash flooding and forcing officials to issue fresh evacuation orders, while 50,000 residents were warned to prepare to isolate with more downpours expected over the next 24 hours. Major flooding is occurring in several rural towns in the Hunter and Mid North Coast regions of New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, with severe weather warnings stretching over a wide swathe of both areas. Police said the body of a man was found in a flooded home near Taree, more than 300 km (186 miles) north of Sydney. The rural town is one of the worst-hit by the floods, that have washed away farms and destroyed homes, roads and bridges. "I'm very sorry for that man's passing. We should be bracing for more tough news over the next 24 hours," New South Wales Premier Chris Minns told ABC News. More than 100 schools are closed on Thursday, while thousands of properties remain without power, authorities said. A slow-moving coastal trough has dumped about four months of rain over the past two days, cutting off entire towns and stranding residents on roofs and the second storeys of their homes, as rescuers struggled to access the area by boat or air. Minns apologised to people who had to wait for several hours for rescue crews, but assured efforts had been ramped up with 2,500 emergency services personnel deployed on site. Television video showed a woman winched to a helicopter from a flooded property. Australia's Bureau of Meteorology forecast that some areas could receive up to 300 mm (12 inches) of rain through Friday, triggering life-threatening flash flooding, before the weather system is expected to weaken and track south toward Sydney. "We've still got rain falling and some rivers still to peak ... we aren't over the worst of it yet," Federal Emergency Management Minister Kristy McBain told ABC Radio. McBain said the Australian Defence Force has been carrying out search and rescue operations in the area. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Fulham news: Silva's substitutions fall flat against Aston Villa
The modern game is about more than the 22 men who start on the pitch - it's about all 40 of them in the matchday squad. We have seen plenty of times this season that Marco Silva knows exactly who to bring on - and when - to change games. The joint-record high of 15 goals from substitutes attests to this. But sometimes that magic touch goes missing - and it did on Saturday. Marco took off Ryan Sessegnon before the hour mark against Aston Villa. He was our biggest - and, frankly, only - attacking threat in a game that saw us go behind early, and we never recovered. Silva made the maximum five changes by the 76th minute in a game where we huffed and puffed but provided little else. And that decision backfired as Harrison Reed, himself a substitute, pulled up unchallenged and was forced off injured. That left us with just 10 men for the rest of a game that looked unlikely to yield any points even if we had 11. Bournemouth's win at the Emirates has placed them firmly in the driver's seat for eighth place and a likely spot in the Europa Conference League. Meanwhile, Brentford and Brighton's results mean we have a job to do to even finish in the top half. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but we still have our win and points records to aim for. And then Marco's job switches from micro changes to macro ones, as he looks to fine-tune our first-team squad in the transfer market. Fulham fans will be hoping he rediscovers that magic touch.

Brighton winner 'illustrated our current woes'
We can have no complaints about Saturday. It was not the best game and there was not much between us on the day, but Brighton had the ball in the net twice - and those narrow escapes should have provided the wake-up calls we needed. However, the loss is a tough one because before kick-off there was just one point between us. Now, Brighton's win has created a gap in the race for the top eight. Many of us could see it coming. I spoke last week about narratives; we were unbeaten in nine games against the Seagulls and a lot of us thought it would be "Fulhamish" to lose when it mattered most. And what a way to do it. A 98th-minute penalty, conceded by Harrison Reed, who only came on 15 or so minutes earlier. It is unfair to level too much criticism at the midfielder - he was played like a fiddle by Joao Pedro, who won the penalty and duly scored it. But Reed is an illustration of our current woes. Our squad is too thin and we lack the quality in depth. Harrison was a magnificent part of our march to the Championship in 2022, playing in 39 of our 46 league games. But the 30-year-old is a level below where we want to be and will likely leave in May in search of the regular first-team football he deserves. This points to a busy summer. If reports are believed, we are likely to lose Antonee Robinson at the end of the season, continuing the recent trend of losing our best player every summer and leaving us needing replacements or reinforcements across almost every position on the pitch. Despite all this, we sit 10th in the league with more wins than losses. That is testament to Marco Silva. So perhaps it is not so bad after all. Find more from Drew Heatley at Fulhamish

Brighton 2-1 Fulham: Cottagers' European hopes take a blow
Fulham travelled to Brighton with high hopes of extending their fine away record and maintaining a push for European football. The Cottagers had won five consecutive away matches across all competitions but struggled to impose themselves on an in-form Brighton. Raul Jimenez did put Fulham in front but that was their only shot on target on a drab afternoon, although they did look like hanging on for a draw after Jan Paul van Hecke had equalised for the hosts. A reckless moment from Harrison Reed deep into stoppage time handed Brighton a penalty and Joao Pedro converted to send Fulham packing with nothing to show. Europe still remains in Fulham's sights but the dream of making an unlikely push for a Champions League spot is starting to dissipate. Defeat leaves the Cottagers sitting ninth and five points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City. Even if Fulham miss out on European football this season, they still have history in their sights with just 11 points required from their final 10 fixtures to seal a club-record points haul in the Premier League.
