Joey Manu (a better player IMO than Suaalii) is off to play in Japan next year. That’s just the cherry on top for NZR. No need to spend treasure and resources on developing league talent - overseas clubs can do that. If it works out, they get an All Black. No risk and big upside. Another athlete fr...

The other one with rooftop solar is that the efficiencies just dont work. You dont get the ideal tilt angle, you are typically building it where people live, not where the best solar resource is, and the O&M component is not the same meaning soiling losses are higher. As such, LCOE is significantly...

The only thing to worry about is if your thumb is bigger than the fireball or not.

Did they teach you that at How to survive the coming extinction event classes when you were in primary school?

Yeah apart from Gordon, Lynagh and Harrison are the ones I'm most about.

Kearns played a character when he was commentating. He was unashamedly biased - but that's not necessarily a bad thing in the colour commeentator.

No to Wright. Can't trust him. Put Kellaway there. I used to say the same about Latho, but he came good at around the same age as Wright is. I’m been a long-time critic of Wright but he’s changed this year. He’s on nootropics or something, but he’s possibly been the best, most consistent player in ...

It may well be true for some union teams, but I don't see any reason this should be the case.

You can't make Nazi comparisons people. Those need to be saved for true horrors against humanity such as public heath restrictions and vaccine mandates. Also, it's the wrong bunch of Germans.
