    No, not MN5 stuck in a loop and repeating the same list every few months

    Someone made a bunch of polls and it was voted on. I just can’t find the results

    I’ve had to rethink my openers. Hopefully someone can find it and I can change it.

    @Chris yeah I don't know, but while the game might be faster the players are still bigger etc.

    Not saying the decision was right to sign a player like Arnold, I was just trying to think of why.

    I reckon he's a bit slow to play openside

    I'd there a position to pick an out and out openside any more?

    There's no "fetcher" anymore. The early McCaw type role I reckon has been superseded.

    I'm having a debate with myself here, and keep contradicting myself.

    Like the idea of a brute at 6 (Finau fanboi), a ball carrier at 8 and a complementary player at 7. But that dude isn't my idea of a traditional 7.

    He's not first at the breakdown anymore as breakdowns are set up differently, and we can't wait for him like we used to.

    I know what I mean, just don't words goodly.

    Kiwi pie you must be a good tactician. I was reading some English journalist and he said virtually the same thing. If you play a high press free flowing supposedly weaker teams can hurt you. He was highlighting how well Fulham do against the top teams who think they can dominate us and how they have trouble with defensive minded lower ranked teams who just don’t give the space to counter attack. I’ll take Marcos way of doing it even though we might get bashed sometimes.%p

    I think the Crusaders may be doing a heritage jersey based on this post…

    The above jersey guide shows it off... seems weird this wasn't picked up on earlier!

    Be curious to see if the Highlanders, Chiefs and Canes have ones in the work. Notable the Crusaders are down to where this one when they come to Dunedin, so one might assume...

    I don't believe what I just saw. NZB were down 2 with 1 minute to go. NZB turn down a tough penalty shot and kicked it to the corner, only to turn the ball over. The Drua don't seem to realise the clock has run out, and end up turning the ball over. The NZB get a penalty kick in front and much closer with time well put, but the kicker hits the post. Talk about trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

    Seriously, how good are Manly looking?! Their pack is owning their opposition so far, Brooks has been brilliant running the left edge with DCE doing the rest with Turbo, Brown has been a good addition adding starch from the bench, their centres look very good with Saab to still come back, seriously, they look like the 3rd best side currently. Their balance in the side is very good.

    Pukekohe was the sole Counties Manukau side to win their Wider Auckland Pre-Season Competition game on Saturday after they defeated Pakuranga 38-27. It sees Michael Porter’s side bounce back from an opening week loss. Defending champions Patumahoe suffered a second successive loss, going down to...

    pretty much every other game went to script.

    I think you can pen the two Sydney teams and carlton in to finals. I assume Collingwood will come back after a tough start.
    West Coast, the Bulldogs, and North locks for the bottom 3.

    @Tim yeah I know Northland have been doing a bit of work with players like him and Evans as well as others from the region (playing elsewhere) to try and entice them back.

    I think our HP facilities are starting to pay dividends.

    Was chatting to a young fella I used to help coach who is in the HP set up (was in Blues U19s last year too) and he said they are training 4 times a week, so be interesting to see how he goes this year as it will be his 1st year of Senior rugby.

    Watched Milan - San Remo this evening. Quite an interesting finishing 30 km.

    I had to take the plunge and get a VPN to watch it on SBS Australia though.
