I'm in Auckland, the vaping situation is worse than when I was here last year. I thought one of the righty tighties on this very thread told me that cracking down on vaping was one of the things that the new govt would do? Or was that just the Nats if they were governing alone before being hijacked...

Wow!

Ali was right about the Crusaders dominating possession then.

Disappointing loss obviously. Not surprising to see fans of other teams piling in on us and Rob Penney. F**k you guys and the nothing-teams you support. I have faith that we have the players and staff to turn it around once we navigate through this unprecedented injury crisis. We've also copped two...

As a Tahs fan, I can console Saders fans by suggesting that this is the time to declare yourself ‘over’ SR, suggest it’s lost it’s way etc …then start raving about your local ‘grassroots’ NPC or Club side* *that’s winning Sadly they can't even fall back on their women's Super Rugby team because the...

Piece of piss - they will be in the playoffs.
Crusaders are now paying $21 to win the comp...
Does anyone remember how much the Crusaders were paying to win the Super Rugby comp in 1998, when they were last after 4 rounds?

Was that 98 or 99?

I assume he meant the original Crusaders. I assume he meant the Canterbury provincial team prior to the advent of Super Rugby. I'm sure that's exactly what he meant which kind of outs him as a casual who was just trying to appear down to earth & relatable. Yeah nobody else would make such a minor a...

Welcome to a recession year, Crusaders fans. You might as well write the season off now. Tbf to the Crusaders fans they all said this would be a 'rebuilding' year given the loss of talent, new coach etc. But I guess a team with the record of excellence they have built up over the past 25 years even...

Blues have never come last..... :twisted: Are you sure? Even in Pat Lam's final season and the worst seasons of the John Kirwan error? Kiwi teams have only come last twice in the history of Super Rugby. Highlanders in '97, and Crusaders in '96 Just shows how quickly both teams turned their fortunes...

Serious question for Crusaders fans. Have the Crusaders EVER had such a poor season previously? I recall 1996 wasn't great and they had the odd lean year even under the great Robbie Dean's (2001) and missed the playoffs some years under Blackadder but has it ever been this poor? I ask this from the ...

Most New Zealand super sides have had this kind of confidence crisis on a semi-regular basis, where multiple elements line up for the perfect storm (new coach, player exodus, injury crisis and tough early draw) all compounding on each other. What’s remarkable is how long the Crusaders have gone wit...

Assume he means Tussock on the Tahs Saders thread. Combination of confusion and auto errect. :lol: Ah yes, that did cross my mind. Combination of a typo and just plain wrong. All you rabid Crusaders fans merge into one after awhile. :lol: Pleeeaaassse!!! I'm a long suffering Blues fan.

Well this thread has taken an unexpectedly entertaining turn. :-] tubbyj telling it like it is! :smug: Tubby is the same that disgraced and embarrassed himself on the Tags Saders thread, is he not? By all means, hitch yourself to his wagon. WTF is the Tag Saders thread? No idea about that.

Thinking of it in racing terms, we might all be on the same track, but everyone has a different starting point. Those who feel they've got where they are through hard work sometimes don't realise how far ahead of others they have started. Boosting people up doesn't suddenly negate the hard work tha...

I also think you guys are making way too much of Jammy's 'dog eat dog' statement. It's a competitive world and so it should be.

Why is that anathema to you?

booji boy

The idea of "getting ahead" is problematic. Getting ahead of what or whom. Well it's not that hard is it? If you're struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table from payday to payday getting ahead might be as simple as being able to pay the bills and even saving a little for a rainy day or...

Reciprocity is a social norm whether negative or positive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocity_(social_psychology) Despite Jammy's protests if I did a nice favour for him he would likely feel compelled to do something in return in the future.

Is linking tax brackets to inflation happening? Is that included as a "tax cut"? Yep that's coming. Ta.
