commentaters did a good job of ignoring the head to head though
-
massive loose forwards for chiefs. nice rotation of players
-
@Bovidae said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
A few surprises for me. No MSR, but Tupou on the bench. Jacobson is definitely the backup 7.
LCF is the safe option on the right wing.
loose forwards as i expected this early in season. but hope to see finau/jacobson and parker ar 8 at some stage.

think i heard on the wireless some thing like 11 of the last 12 scores over fifty out once for 89?
-
chiefs found secong gear and blues third

@reprobate thanks for the reply
dont agree though, the atitude that nothing can go wrong
In the practical world, with 2/16 votes I can't see them achieving anything too crazy, and as a former councillor and former National MP you'd hope there is some degree of competence?
Is exatly how we got here today.
30/40 years ago a judge goes we are in a kind of partnership and now we get unelected members of coutcils.either we live in a democracy or we dont, and i would rather live in one.

Or grow some stones and lay out what you think go-governance looks like
Going down this route is very risky. The question that should eb discussed first is
- Is it really in the Maori version? This doesn't seem to be as clear cut as some claim
- Even of it is should go down this route. Like if the Māori version gave white males special right and privileges. My view today would be to ignore it. As it's not in the country's best interests. But if someone (or a group or an enemy country) wanted to destroy NZ, then do it. Put people into groups and build up resentment between the groups.
Yes, it really is. If you were actually interested in finding out about it rather than looking at echo chamber blog posts there are a few books you can read. John Bluck for example gives a reasonable explanation of the key Maori terms, and some solid reasoning for the way they would have been understood by Maori at the time - based on the words chosen in the English-Maori translation and the fact that language learning was conducted by missionaries, who used these terms at the time to describe relationships in the bible.
Co-governance is a vague term - like partnership - which you seem to find equally scary.
Governance in a business sense is (business.govt.nz) ''Governance is about the checks and balances and expert advice that keep your business on track. It includes all the practices, processes and policies that help you guide your business in the right direction.''
Now take the health example. The health system has failed Maori. Shit outcomes. What is the big deal about getting some Maori input on how to improve the practices, processes and policies to improve the outcomes for Maori? That could easily be described as co-governance, and frankly it's just a good idea. But if you listen to the extremists, it means the sky is falling, and everyone non-Maori is going to be a 2nd class citizen.any comment on ecan and iwi getting to appoint 2 councillors to board with full voting rights

what does it say if they dont break records?
They either didn't have superior base physiology, or their drugs weren't good enough
or current record holders are also on drugs

The Way Razor has set up the selection of the squad is very good imo.
Having each coach responsible for the selection of certain positions.
The pointer to selection of the team is not all around Razor but where the other coaches will lean towards.five different selecting groups for one team. what could go wrong?
Over seen by Razor and Wayne smith Nothing imo.
time will tell. i would imagine its something that could work well till it doent.there are risks involved,if every group mot 100% aligned
