          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.

                  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.

                                      @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?

                                              @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.

                                                          I thought it seemed like a lot of effort to go to to stick me with a picture! 🙂

                                                              But, I recall him standing around in the midfield looking uninterested.

                                                                          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.
