    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.

    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...

    Ok I have not said much when we signed Crotty,Halfpenny,Heinz then Franks
    Was not impressed
    Then McNicol now Arnold well I can now confirm Rob Penny,James Marshall especially have completely lost the plot.

    Can you please inform me why James Marshall and Dan Perrin got appointed Crusaders as assistants? They have lead Ta$man to 7th, 8th, 7th since they've been there, they have lost far more games than they've won and the Mako$ have looked abysmally coached under their watch. It just doesn't make any sense to me, they haven't got a coaching record that justifies their roles.

    I don’t know why to be honest,
    I thought they were bad decisions at the time.
    Razor Scott Hansen and Tamiti Ellison were the real brains of the operation over the last few years.

    Interesting that Ellison is also part of the All Black's coaching staff now, he seems highly rated by Razor.

    I guess it begs the question for me does he continue his current position (All Black's tackle & breakdown coach) if he gets the Crusaders head job in 2026 - as most people assume will happen? Hard to imagine that one could manage the workload of both?

    You would think he would not stay on with the ABs but take up the HC Crusaders role for long term gain as a HC.

    @Bones agree to disagree. As I said he’s only a young buck so him being solid over the first four rounds isn’t necessarily disappointing, especially considering he’s come up against arguably the three best loose forward trios three weeks in a row (outside the Canes and Chiefs)

    Aside from the extraordinary like McCaw, loose forwards in NZ don’t usually hit their prime until 25. Plenty of time for him to develop into a dominant force like he has been at the lower levels.

    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.

    @dogmeat said in EPL 2023/2024:

    Forest docked four points which offers a lifeline to not only Luton but also Burnley.

    They will appeal of course but the evidence is pretty damning. 4 points seems about right.

    I heard the minimum was 6 points so maybe an appeal will bump it up? They spent a ridiculous amount last season so it is no surprise that they were caught out.

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.
