if your expecting anyone here to stick up for the herald or stuff you might be disappointed

campbell an aussie i think so that would explain it

i wouldnt worry about it.i read somewhere (i think it was graham henry) that the last skill to teach is tackling .ball skills are more important . i think the theory was tackling is better taught later but basic ball skills earlier.

@dogmeat said in Gold Coast Comm Games:

Re the Netball. Netball has a long history of ignoring the best coach because for some reason her face doesn't fit e.g. Yvonne Willering being ignored for the best part of a decade and when after trying everyone else she was finally given a shot she'd been out of the game too long. Still should've won a world championship though.

Southby wasa joke appointment. Took over from Robyn Broughton at Southern Steel for 4 seasons A lot of top players left and they languished for most of her tenure, but her face fit. She'd coached U21's and Fast 5 so clearly was a much better option than either Broughton or Noeline Taurua. That's the Taurua who led Magic for their glory years and then disheartened by lack of opportunities here fucked of to head the newly formed Sunshine Coast team and take them to the title.

SF's are going through a transition period but that's no excuse for the performances they've been putting in. Southby chops and changes the team constantly. I don't think she has a clue who her best options are and netball more than most is a game where settled combinations are crucial.

For all the grief being given to our shooters the midcourt are failing to feed them and Mes and Selby Rickett have performed well for other coaches

got some feedback from a very reliable source months ago that is not a happy environment to be in. A lot of finger pointing from some players while taking no responsibility for there mistakes. Southby sits back while this is going on and says nothing , is properly a classic case of poor culture. If you read articles with willering/broughton they both go on about the culture and lack on it in this team.
Noeline Taurua crime for not getting the job was that she had not done the coaching courses that the board wanted to get the job.
There is one player in there that the stories i have heard would be quite toxic for team harmony.

is luke jacobson still injured. i must be the only person who is not happy with this loose forward mix.for me it just didnt work last week .

@Paekakboyz said in NZ Politics:

Why not provide tech and support to get all farms online. Then work with that data and the farming community to improve the situation. Connect that into broader environmental work that will collectively improve our waters. If things aren't good you'll have evidence to trigger changes, or engage with 'other' views. On the plus side we'll see more data on the initiatives that do make a difference for good.

Don't the fish heads know that coming in hot and slamming folks is only highlighting how disconnected they are?

this is one of farmings problems and im not haveing a go at you but everyone thinks they know what farmers should do
truth is irrigated farming is hi tech majority of these farmer would have,
soil moisture monituring
fertilizer proof of placement
yield mapping
weather stations
nutrient budgets
plus online monitoring of milk ,milk cooling etc
gps on tracters

where i farm in the waitaki the regional council are so happy with the environmental performence that the catchment area is going self regulated as long as the sites that they monitor dont drop in performance. and this is a area that has had dairying in it from the 1980s

i would of thought if she was worried about breach of privacy and defamation she would be going after the video taker not nzr.

@bovidae
doesnt matter if he is right or not jones has nothing to do with the running of fonterra.

probably said to much now.plus dana johannsen doing a good job.
none of the story is rocket science.
unhappy team/poor culture/poor coaching=players losing confidence=poor performence

jemaih mua been playing for the hautapu invitational xv

@Tim micheal collins?

@African-Monkey thing is we could say same things. DMac throws good pass,find touch ,QT catches the ball etc and its a good win

i can live with the call at the end sometimes calls go your way, other days you dont get them. lot easier to take than last week where TMO didnt know the rules, this week we just weren't good enough.

@gt12

found this on rugbyworld.com was rules explained for 6 nations 2020

Can the TMO intervene on any matter they like?

No, the TMO in rugby is basically restricted to two crucial areas:

1. The scoring of a try, whether the grounding of the ball or the build-up to the try. Any infringement within the two phases prior to a try would render it illegal.

A referee can also use the TMO’s help to ascertain whether a kick went between the posts, but that’s quite a rare occurrence.

2. Possible foul play. The TMO is free to communicate with the referee at any time if he sees something he suspects is foul play. Equally, the referee can ask the TMO to look at an incident, either while the game continues or after stopping play.

@Bones
mate nice of you not to quote the bit where i said it doent make any difference.
the thing is there was three rucks(phases) after it hit trask .

@gt12
its one clearly defined rule though 2 phases. if it had happened to our advantage i would have thought that the other fans would be pissed off

@Bones
trask was the offside player not cane .hit trask cane claimed ball (he would have claimed it even if it hadnt hit trask, bit like running into your own player and not inpeading another tackler,,i know that doent matter) three rucks after offside player dmac scores

so have i . cane created one two more after that that is three after incident

@Bones three and he saw it let it go.
