@duluth How is there an argument on this? The ref under that post is surely the only one who can see if has gome between the uprights! FFS I a Canes man but can't believe anyone seeing it on tv or somewhere in ground thinks they got better angle. There are getting to be some serious whingers in our our game!

To Bones :
The ball went clearly forward, IMO. But it fell on Zammit's leg, so could it be considered like a kick ?If it had ever been ruled like that in the past then I could buy it
Yep you have to control ball before it hits your leg. Regardless really enjoyed game and really pleased for Wales . Triple Crown winners!

RE: Tipping 2021
Thanks KP, although I say bugger it not doing any picks this year, I thought why not, as I enjoy this forum and starting to come in a bit more, so.....................
And will probably help to remind me how little I do actually know about game regardless of following it religously for 60odd years -
RE: Hurricanes v Blues
@stargazer Have to say I can see Havili having a say there to. I think the style Laumape plays ,he is not really big enough to do it at test level. Real keen on ALB , but beginning to think he maybe better at 13, but would be more than happy with him at 12, he could very well be the glue type player in backline ala Crotty.

RE: Grumpy Old Man
@mariner4life See mate, my missus tells me I driving slower. But f*** it I just retired and moved home to godzone, so I figure I got all the time in the world. Mind you I do tend to set cruise control on 100 kph but I kind of figure there is too much to see in this country to rush. I may take off from lights a little slower than I used to, but figure I save the full revs for when I need it. I know when in Aus I tended to drive bit more over speed limit etc, but I practicing being one of thses grumpy old slow bastards and enjoying it so much. To be fair I make sure I leave cruise control on at passing lanes as I get pissed with people whi HAVE to pass car in front and then all are travelling at same speed anyway.

RE: Tipping 2021
@kiwipie Personally I like the extra options as there only 2 games each week, so adds to fun.

RE: Hurricanes v Blues
@delicatessen Yep you could be right mate, as I said like the young fella, thought he had lots potential, and agree I was probably being harsh on sometimes good Super player, he probably almost always good at super level, I just not sure he has gone as well as I hoped at international level. Maybe just a little small to play his style at test level? Anyway I hope he rips it apart this year and proves me wrong.

RE: SR Australia Round 2: Reds v Rebels
@kiwimurph said in SR Australia Round 2: Reds v Rebels:
That was a good game.
Personally although I supported Reds ,I thought game was a little disappointing. A bit pissed that refs are missing laws of the game while trying these new variations. Much as I dislike saying it no way should our(Reds) first try of been allowed under the laws that say you can only take a ball by hand and not swim back. I hope that not coming back into our game.

RE: Chiefs v Highlanders
Well I never learn, tipping I went for Chiefs in upset, f*** me I never learn
. Still I enjoyed game, know there a lot of penalties but not bad early season game. Chiefs need a bit of depth I think, agree Gatland was disappointing.

Couple of theirs I really enjoyed

@dogmeat said in What are you listening to, right now................:
@r-l there's a mythos built around Petty as a decent, regular guy divorced from the trappings of a rock star lifestyle.
Listen to the podcast Enzology and the Finn brothers are scathing of Petty. They toured North America together as an arrogant, conceited asshole. Totally the opposite of his popular image. Up himself, thought he was a superstar - this was in the early days before he did become a global superstar. Hated it if Enz gotr a decent reception, would sabotage their practice sessions, fiddle with their sound system after Enz had done their sound checks etc.
Only one side of the story but interesting nevertheless.
Haven't read thet Dog, but regardless Petty is someone I have always enjoyed listening to. Interesting you say about Enz, I read similar about another NZ group (name will come to one day) who had very similar things to say about being an opening act for the Kinks.

RE: Hurricanes v Blues
I will say after my last post, I am beginning to worry about Laumape, I know I had discussion with someone on here about him, and saying he shouldn't need to be disrespected to get stuck in, he seemed a little lost again, I hope he not going a little like Akira was, thinking an occasional big game is good enough?
