    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.

    @Victor-Meldrew I think maybe he see’s an opportunity to bring back an all time great and one of his most trusted lieutenants in a position that we are short in for experience.

    It’s a specific role for what hopefully will be a short term problem.

    And it appears it was initiated by the agent not Razor chasing him.

    And with the attritional year we have ahead of us, perhaps he doesn’t fancy having tupou Vai’i as his senior lock when the inevitable injuries occur.

    Gosh LR-Z has signed a full three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, not just a one-year training deal as was expected. I expect there are still break clauses if he fails to make the player roster.

    @Winger Hopefully NZR will offer the lad a financially competitive offer. No doubt he will want to follow the dream of wearing the Black Jersey and adding to its legacy, but there are also bills to pay.

    At one stage they were interviewing players after they scored tries.

    I remember Henry Speight scoring a try and was gasping for breath as he had a microphone shoved in his face haha.

    @Winger said in NZR review:

    The Constitution will entrench the following in the Skills &
    Competencies Framework:
    • The Board must have diversity across gender, background, and ethnicity,
    • Have expertise in tikanga and Te Ao Māori

    That I certainly don't agree with.

    Opening Day for 2024 season is underway.
    Betts & Freeman both homered for the Dodgers, while Ohtani 'only' had a single and a double.
    Dodgers beat Cardinals 7-1.
    Other significant scores on opening day were the Orioles beating the Angels 11-3, Mike Trout hit a home run for the Angels. Blue Jays beat Rays 8-2 with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hitting a massive home run for Toronto. Reds beat Nationals 8-2 & Yankees getting up over the Astros 5-4 after trailing 4-0 midway through the game.
    Brewers v Mets & Braves v Phillies matches were both postponed due to rain.

    Was a good night for rugby last night.

    Went to the OBM v Kamo game, with the hosts making the better start, leading at the break, but a couple of great moments from Kamo saw them finally take the lead and ended up taking the tussle 22-15.

    I hadnt checked the team sheets before I went, so was a surprise to see Jone Macilai on the wing for OB last night, and there is still some life in the old dog.

    He still has a great ability to break tackles with some great strength, and played a huge role in breaking the Kamo defence open in a 60m effort where he off-loaded allowing someone to trot in a 7 pointer. Even when one of the KAmo wings turned him inside out one minute, next he was determined to get him and chased and wrestled the ball away, I'd certainly be happier seeing him play for the Taniwha again than a few that have the past 12 months...

    For OBM Sam Caird worked hard along with #8 Vikta Tevita, while 9 Austin Ryburn and mid-field Mitchell Reader had thier moments.

    The visitors took longer to get into the game, but the big moment was a superb break by 10 Nikau Graham and a equally superb off-load to put Blake Hohaia away and take the lead, in the forwards Mason Hohaia and young Harry Lowther showed good work rates while in the backs Graham and Hohaia had thier moments, as did halfback Donald Boyd who probably tried a bit much at times.

    All bar the Sharks - HH game went as I expected, and MN dispatched HIka much easier than I thought they would.

    @Duluth The 12/13/14 especially looked very good in pre season. I'm expecting Rieko to go for a sabbatical soon so would like to see a bit more of Meihana Gridlay.

    A squad of 30 will be named next month. Interesting to read that Robertson, Ryan and MacDonald will have some involvement, but not with selection. The latter two were in Taupō and will go to Aust.

    @Bovidae I think Godfrey won it in 2022 didn't he? But yeah I think the guy giving out the award must be a forward. 😃

    In one of the biggest upsets in SA school history, Jeppe Boys beat Grey College at the Nord/Suid festival on Monday, 22-19. It is the first time Grey have lost at this festival in their history, and the first time that they have ever lost to a boys school from Johannesburg.
