I think everyone decides to make lame digs about Wellingtons weather cos deep down they know that everywhere else in New Zealand sucks complete arse in comparison to the best little capital in the World.
no, it's because the weather in Wellington is fucked.

Cowboys also got thrashed this weekend and now lose Jason Taumalolo for up to 10 weeks. Ouch.
and they were putrid doing it too. Pangai Jnr got in to their forwards, JT did his knee early doors, and they had fucking nothing. Morgan was invisible, TMM tried, Granville offered nothing, because their vaunted forward pack got rinsed. The Broncos halves even kicked well. Massively one-sided game.
Did you see your boy Jimmy Maloney defend on the weekend? Probably won Penrith the game with his tackling. Unheard of.

@mariner4life That was awesome especially after the fumble!!!
The look on the coach's boat after was frameable
if you are on the receiving end of that, you can't do much except shrug and walk away, they did everything they were supposed to defensively, and the guy came up with an absolute miracle.
Oh shit, this is going to be on highlight countdowns for years

The Gronk has retired. Short career compared to others but he will make the hall of fame for sure.
Gun player. Great attitude. Will be missed in the league. Almost as important to the Pats as Brady. You just knew, if it was in the fourth, and the Pats were facing a 3rd and long, it was going to be a quick pass to Gronk and he would make the yards required +1. Every. Single. Time.
@Kirwan said in Blues Stormers:
Yep, we are going to get massively targeted by the maul. Time for Coventry to step up there.
I always had the impression that Patty T and Ioane were, at least individually, pretty good at defending mauls. Throw in another couple of AB tighties, and there really should not be an issue.
Just don't take the 'canes approach of standing there and watching.
This should be a comfortable Blues win, but expectation can be a bitch.
@mariner4life said in AFL 2019:
Before a ball is kicked in anger, the rankings look like:
Collingwood, Melbourne, Richmond, West Coast, and Adelaide in the premiership hunt ONLY 1 OF THESE TEAMS WON
GWS, Essendon, Geelong, Hawthorn, Sydney, and maybe even North aiming for finals. 3 WINNERS, TWO GOT ABSOLUTELY BELTED
Freo, Brisbane, Port probably not good enough for finals, but aiming for the 10 win mark ALL 3 HAD BIG WINS
Carlton, St Kilda, Gold Coast and the Bulldogs to make up the bottom 4. TWO WINS AND THE OTHER TWO NOT DISCRACED
Of course, the last 3 seasons have proven that preseason predictions mean fuck all, none of the last 3 premiers were expected in March.
I am worried about the level of expectation being piled on the Lions. There are more than a few picking them to tip over the Premiers in Round 1. That has all the hallmarks of a disappointing 6-goal loss written all over it. Losing Beams is going to hurt, no matter who we have got in the door. That said, anything less than 10 wins would be seen as a disappointment this year. NO WORRIES
I'm watching Swingers now. Fuck I forgot how awkward the Vegas scenes are.
