  1. Unless they win of course.I would have gone with Maloney.
  2. Was Jock Hobbs really a great New Zealander? Would you mention him in the same breath as Hillary , Blake, Jackson,Savage and Rutherford? Hobbs was a very good provincial flanker who made the All Blacks because he played for a winning team, Canterbury. ,Bruce Middleton from Wanganui was probably a better player.. Outside of sport he was an unremarkable barrister and a Rugby administrator. judging by the collapse of Strategic Finance and the problems of NZRFU and ORFU he wasnot not particularly good with money. Its another example of how the media get completely carried away.
  3. the reason the Blues won is that they continually infringed at the breakdown.Walsh blew 30 PENALTIES most of them going against the blues.Guys like Williams , Braid and Mealamu know the rules.The plan was to disrupt the Bulls forwards.slow the game down. to negate the altitude effect by playing in short bursts. Nonu looks like hes been on holiday for three months and probably has when you consider the standard of Japanese rugby.Hes not fit . the Blues are a disgrace and the thuggery shown by Ranger topped it all . I dont blame Walsh.I blame the rules.It should be more like basketball where fouls go against the team as well as the individual.
  4. Ive seen a lot of fights in my time.last night was a joke. I am convinced the American took a dive.
  5. I think he needs help for his drinking problem though!
  6. shes entitled to an opinion.
  7. Everyone is attacking Labours economic policy but they really should focus on National who afterall will probably win the election. The fact is.National gave taxcuts in the middle of a recession to high income earners.This was supposed to be offset by a rise in gst.It didnt work and the government was left with a gap between income and spending worth billions.Too make up for it they borrowed themselves to a credit downgrade. My theory is that wealthy people didnt put their extra money into the economy they just used it to pay off debt to Australian banks. The tax cuts were dumb and the rise in gst was dumb. and it wasnt Labour who did it.
  8. If they gave the top teams a few short turnarounds it would be all wrapped up by now.Games like Wallaby v Russia and All Blacks v Japan could have been midweekers. The last two weeks have dragged like cricket Wrld Cup.even the journos have run out of things to talk about!
  9. Australia hasnt got the systems to produce a depth of quality International rugby players. The sport is only really played in private schools and hasnt got a strong club base. They do well with limited resources but they are not consistently good. This team is on the way up but has a long way to go. I got up close to them on Takapuna beach the other day. They just looked like University students on holiday!
  10. they couldnt care less about the result in Australia. Imagine the reaction if we lost! Aussie rugby is a minority sport that punches above its weight. Dont you think we should get things in perspective?
  11. If they could get their hands on some really tough forwards. Unfortunately most of the raw material play AFL or NRL. Lots of gloating after last nights win by AllBlack fans , but really we should win 9 timesout of 10. Because most of their best athletes play other codes.
  12. The tigers and broncos both finished in the top four but can still miss out on semi finals if they lose their next game.its not a good system. why do they have to prove themselves twice? I prefer the top five system.
  13. Only graeme henry could manage this one.Two specialist centres in squad and he plays one on the wing and drops the other.then he moves the best second five in world rugby out one to make room for a rugby league second rower with very little test match experience! In the forwards he has no specialist loosie cover on bench, just two average locks! Its going to be a long six weeks.
  14. What a joke.Some maori guy in Katikati goes straight into the slammer for tax evasion.$250000 is alot of money but kiwifruit is a big dollars industry. Meanwhile a high profile property developer from Auckland who owes IRD $6million is holidaying in Spain. This guy has been trying to avoid jail for at least 5 years. Whats the bet he gets home detention?
  15. Whats wrong with adults watching adult movies?I dont get the whole shane jones thing. Presuming that childrens movies or documentaries cost the same , i dont see the big deal. The problem came about because its easier to pay a hotel bill on one card.that card just happens to be the ministerial one and then you pay back chunks you arent entitled to later. Because politicians expenses are so high you cant expect them to pay out of their own pocket and then claim back entitled expenses later. There is no perfect system.
