I don't think finishing school or university are at all important in this day and age. The ones that stay just for 1st xv especially so.

@Kruse maybe pure vs bulked up with baking soda on street haha

@Steven-Harris time to cut super rugby.

@Snowy interest deductability.
I think investment properties need some kind of handbrake as they are the real culprit in terms of bank stability on the way down, and people using equity adds major demand in the market that isn't needed. Housing cost is number one culprit in our failing society.To be more fair and put them on par with other business you could keep them deductable but charge business rates for the loans instead of home loan rates but I don't make the policy.

@canefan as much as I think this government is terrible, they've put a few housing laws that I hope act national doesn't change.
And not that Labour had any other ideas but we're back to open slather immigration and trying to pump the economy with property (if possible in current conditions) with act national.
Which I believe has been the single most damaging flaw in how we've run the country since 1999.
Out major exports are all under the pump atm we need to be very savvy to avoid major problems with the dollar and inflation.

Havent noticed any difference with my Twitter experience in the last couple fo years. Is Twitter losing market share or is musk just the new trump?

@MN5 hes terrible aye....
Dircus looks horrendous on the feet and scores a powerful KO win haha.
Really looks like an amateur. Tough though, Like a Vettori who can actually hurt people. May give adesanya Trouble but just seems way too stiff and slow.Volk way too good. Great win for Hooker chin seems to be back.

@dogmeat property booming was one of many terrible results from the response.
-
@MiketheSnow can't see it. I think Whittaker get his first ko in a while
-
@Billy-Tell I think the blues attack does 10x better with Goodhue than ioane at 13.
Man knows how to find his wingers

Leon Mcdonald is the new Ian Foster. The cycle repeats.
-
@SouthernMann Northland resigned most of last year's squad. Very few spots available I'd imagine
-
@taniwharugby how he played 2 or 3 seasons at fb I will never know. George konia...
His games at 11 he had an excellent boot and he got very stuck in.I think he has lost pace and explosivness though, out of school he was 1st 2nd and 3rd in nz across the 3 athletic throws.
-
@Bones as a Northland supporter, the only good games we got out of him were in 11.
-
@MN5 Perreia is not a counter fighter. Izzy is the best Counterfighter, a long counter fighter with good takedown D is Rob Whittakers nemesis as he likes to blitz in from range despite his own length being very average.
Perreia pressures you with his cage control and immense power. More single shots until he gets you trapped.It would not be an easy fight for rob, but if he get Pereiras Back early in a round he could really work him over. Rob Mixes it up very well, and he could KO him or submit him on the ground. Rob would have to avoid calf kicks at all costs.

@taniwharugby Moulds will be lucky to play, returning from achilles injuries are no easy feat, and 9 months return is fast. So Olsen is an insurance policy theyll need to get him back to NPC fitness etc.
Most of last years squad has been re-signed by all accounts so very few contracts to hand out.
-
@Crucial it used be his strength.
He has genuinely gotten worse with years of professional coaching
-
@Crucial The vast Majority of income all comes from the All Blacks anyway. The PI nations also offer no considerable income for their players, The All Blacks payments would still be a significant portion of a players earnings
Domestic comps in traditional soccer countries still perform very well despite not being tier one comps.
Aussie struggles becuase they are Competing and losing with league for telent.
South Africa won the world cup with even looser rules than Aus.
-
@Crucial I think NZ Needs to start selecting form overseas.
Super Rugby is losing a whole squad (-30) of Starting players this year. The Conveyer belt isnt big enough. The Highlanders can hardly get a full squad this year and alot of squads already contain 'Future" players.
Overseas comps have got better, the best coaches are in those comps. It would reduce NZ rugbys overheads (smaller all black contracts). Soccer is a professional model tried and tested. the bigger economies rule the roost with club comps.

@OleOleOle I dont think any of those guys would have a problem playing alongside a gay dude. they simply dont want to represent via jerseys etc etc.
Christian conservatives simply view them as sinners, much like many other things.
