I guess you can select from M and NB as well

It's Tasman, you can pick from anywhere.
-
Are Tasman allowed to open the cheque book for this competition?
-
@crucial is running the show and would probably like a new car or something, so my guess is yes.

I will be asking for Credit Card details

Tasman's squad MVP and captain:

Just get better, you sooks.
Here's the Tasman team - we don't need to deal in fantasies.
Send your old men out to be smashed!
-
@Chris-B Surely there's been some mistake? Most of the players I see on there are from the North Island.
-
@Tim On closer inspection you'll find they're all tattooed with "The Mark of the Shark"!

This and then add Shannon Frizell, Sevu Reece and Mark Telea.

And which funny bastard fucked with my avatar??!!
I have a new one, now. Well, I thought I did, but I can't seem to get rid of this one!

Mwhhaaaa ha ha ha haaaaa.
Wasn't me though!

With all that cash you could try and buy a new avatar.

@Crucial I'm not that easy of a target for the Russians - well, I hope not!

I'm not Russian.
(Maybe Polish, but not Russian)Certain admins may provide you with a pre-filled bank deposit form though.....
-
The Fern's very own Putin @Chris-B .
Made me laugh though. Rummage around you will find the answer.
-
@Snowy I assumed it was someone reasonably powerful, who can treat my account like the NZX.
I'm guessing someone whose name begins with D or K. Might throw an I and C into that equation as well!
-
OK - even though the team above has proven that it can smash anything and everything any of the other provinces can put on the park, I'll indulge in a little fantasy.

@Chris-B I preferred the other avatar. Something a bit, well, gloaty, about that one.
The business model might be a bit off too. You do know that it is cheaper to just pay the ref than the players?
-
@Snowy I can still only see the hand with the money.
Are you seeing Dave with the Cup?
-
@Chris-B Sadly yes.
Hopefully @Duluth has given you that for life. A gloating punishment.
If you ever get a shield challenge...and win...just, fuck.
-
@Snowy Fuck - he might have set it up so that only I get that hand.
It won't go away - it's like something out of Macbeth!
I'm somewhat amazed that we didn't finally get a Shield Challenge scheduled this year - against All Blacks-stacked Canterbury!!!
As it is, Covid will potentially even rob us of an easy repeat!
(Whomever has Richie Moúnga wins IMO). -
@Chris-B Actually covid could make the best "NPC" ever. Teams are already locked in I think (you can't buy anymore players) so bring it on.
Gonna be fun.
-
@Snowy There will never be a better NPC than 2019!

Nope, it's your browser cache
I can see the new one

I was going to say that, but he deserves it. You are way to kind.
Damn.
-
@Duluth Weird - it would change for about a minute - and then revert back.
I thought it seemed like a lot of effort to go to to stick me with a picture!
-
@Chris-B Rico Gear will be disappointed he hasn't made one of the many NPC teams he played for.
-
@Bovidae In fairness, Rico can't really expect to get picked for Tasman after his major dummy spit.
But, I recall him standing around in the midfield looking uninterested.
We're a bit light on good centres.
@Snowy - ah - and now I see the avatar of my choice. In fairness, I only put it up when provoked!

@Snowy On the subject of Tasman imports....you might have seen this guy on the TV news.
Lamb sells for ‘obscene’ world record price of nearly £368,000
:quality(70)/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com/thenational/JUYHVKKWDR2JDJBG4QF65S3LQE.jpg)
Sale escalated into bidding war for six-month-old Texel sheep at Scottish market
I bought a new Texel ram last year - he's the product of artificial insemination using semen imported from the UK.
It turns out that his grandfather came from the same Sportsmans stud.
Unfortunately, they're related, but not closely related.

-
@Siam I think Alan Sutherland probably played the first year of NPC, but I'd just be adding the name rather than someone I remember much about. He can go on the bench as well.
-
-
@Chris-B
You have to put Alan Sutherland in. Fantastic player. Long established AB , captained them mid week on 76 tour of SA, scored 100 first class tries, married a Miss South Africa....Either at 8 or Lock. Not sure when his older brother ray retired but he would be a decent option at Lock as well. Captained Marlborough to their Shield victory in 73.
No love for Todd Blackadder?
-
@dogmeat Toddy only played his debut season for us - not sure even how many games he played. If I picked him, I'd have to pick Brad Thorn!
Alan Sutherland at lock, then - in for Quinten Strange, since I suspect the fern rates PPP over Quin.
I seem to recall there was another big Marlborough rugby family around the same time, who might supply a better centre than Kireon Fonotia - but, the name escapes me.
Edit - Steve Marfell!
-
I was going to ask you where Kahu Marfell fits into your thinking? As in how many injuries required before he makes the 23?
