2015 was the perfect finale. Set that Ma in stone. No need to tempt fate and ruin that awesome legacy.

Ma had at least five awesome years in black, which is probably more than guys like Cullen, Lomu and Jones, all of whom are undisputed legends.

He and Snake would be right up with Horan and Little as GOAT combo

agreed, but saying shit like that in Qld can get you lynched. Horan, Little, and the Super 10 are held in very very high esteem around these here parts.

Indeed. Obviously I'm biased, but I always thought Little-Bunce bested those two head-to-head.

me too. It's testament to how good Little was that i thought Horan did fuck all against us.

You won't get that past a Queenslander though.

Ma'a is far and away the best 12 the ABs have had.

He's come a long way since the days of getting on the piss and arrested on Courtney Place!

I think his finest years put him into that echelon but there were years of dross as well.

Have we seen more consistent 12's throughout their AB career, yes

yep, 4 years as good as anyone i have ever seen, including Horan. That's in a 12 year career though.

Who would you call most consistent?

Horan for most consistent?

I'm kind of arguing against myself here as I think when Ma'a was at his best he has no equal as he was immense on attack, defence and distribution. But man o man were there some rusty years too

oh yea world wide it's Horan by the length of the straight. I thought we were talking NZ only.

Say SBW.....I'll get some popcorn

no no, that's too big a lure to catch anything, you need to be waaay more subtle than that.

Not everyone is high brow like you. Hooroo might go Walter Little, Aaron Maurer....even old mate Alama Ieremia

well, it depends on which island you are fishing off really.

The entire league watched KD and Draymond blow up at each other and crossed their fingers. It's the only way they are going to get beaten.

Scotty Pippen on The Jump this morning was interesting. Speaking about how he and MJ straight up didn't like Rodman, but they respected what he did on the court, so it still worked. He also said what everyone is thinking, the Warriors are bored and waiting for playoffs.

Mariner's favourite song of the week. Bit of a change in pace from Corrosion of Conformity below

Catchy track.

Somehow reminds me of the soundtrack to the Friday Night Lights movie (which i fucking love)

Probably too early for Dalton, maybe Akira? Seems very well respected by the players, is a certain pick

if died in the wool Crusader Leon MacDonald picks Akira as captain...

Died in the wool Crusader has already been on the phone to his good mate Hammer, for tips about instilling discipline.

"You've got to wield the axe, Rangi - I just started at A for Andrew! Who's going to worry about the 54th best player in NZ!"

yes, yes, i know. It sounds bad. you will get fired. But the next dude will win the comp. and all because of you. honest!
