about ten days ago was talking to a guy who played club rugby with him in mid canterbury. he passed the comment that he was surprised that he was let out the country. unfortunately i didnt follow up with why. i will next though.

rip georgie salter

lots of interesting comments.
one thing i dont think has been mentioned is that in the last two weeks we haven't been winning the 50/50 contests like we usually do.i would have thought we would have been lucky to have got 30% of them

i was thinking with 15 m to go savea hadnt done much then he got a turnover and turned the game. I have a feeling in the last 3 games that we have changed tactics from what was working earlier in the season

@hooroo
as a ex shareholder and ex dairy farmer i dont follow it closely enough to know to much but just read this in the farmers weekly hopefully this link works as it asks more questions https://farmersweekly.co.nz/# Go to article farmers overpaid

@hooroo
sorry i was thinking more payout
they wrote off losses to beingmate and danone off about 405m and 183m nothin to do with butter though.
try this

@hooroo
i thought you had been,
i would have thought it is percentage of product they can produce.I cannot think of a new butter plant going in but just about every new site and upgrades have been powder based (darfield ,edendale,litchfield ,clandeboye) butter just went through the roof.noone has expected fat to do this. funny enough westland is butter based but i think there payout will be less than fonterra for the 17/18 season

@hooroo
fonterra is setup for protein (wholemilk powder)not fat (butter)
does surprise me what payout is seeing they are running at a loss, Must have something to do with the milk price manual

@bovidae
