Some of the best quality boredies have been screaming for mid-week games for a long time, so this experiment is fantastic! The marketing has to be good though - RA and 9/Stan need to have a blitz and make these games an event. Mid-week for special games makes so much sense for many reasons: - Zero p...

It would be awful if NZR got angry and Brown left the national set-up. He's got a LOT of potential as a coach and every minute he's in the NZ system is bad for the good guys.

I’d take Cooper back in a second. He did his knee in 2011 and maybe lost a spot of pace. Reds averaged 30k that year and A lot of people were there for him and the style that he brought to the Reds. He had his flaws but what a star. FFS that was 10 years ago. Learnt to tackle yet?! NO! Exactly what...

Think I’ll biff off Disney and dip back into Apple TV then. My 5 year old can swivel. We had ATV free for a year when it launched but everything seemed to resemble the smelly stuff that falls softly from a dogs arse.

Have any of you fools even seen Mythic Quest? I see these other shows you're raving about and...... No love for "Ted Lasso" ? What about " For all Mankind"? This is good stuff people. I don't want to even give up the premise of the For all Mankind - it's got a twist in the first 5 mins. I'm glad I ...

Thanks for all the very helpful comments and advice. The house is worth close to NZ$2m and together they have almost cleared the mortgage, so he stands to get a decent wedge from that. He definitely needs a lawyer to handle the negotiations and he has a father who he can lean on for emotional suppo...

Why was FF dropped? Are they hoping to bring him on with 25 to go and maul the shit out of the Reds? He did go off injured last week and was in doubt for this week... And with McInerney also out injured they're short on hookers. You got to think the Reds front row are licking their lips. What with ...

If you read the details of that study, that same 40% only wash their towels once a year.

DHP might tear the walls down when it comes to the trans tasman comp. Only player likely to unseat an uninjured Banks IMO. Isn’t he 40? And slow? He’s not a bad player but I can’t see why someone would like him but not like Banks. I don't know why anyone would prefer him either. But he's 31, a soli...

JOC is another left-field 15 option. Essentially plays there on kick defence for the Reds. Makes room for Lolesio at 10 Petaia is still who I would go for though. Morahan 2.0 as the emergency cover. You keep using Morahan as an insult. You know he's playing phenomenally for one if the best teams in...

I'd invite them both to camp then tell everyone it's an open competition and let's see who wants it the most. It's a bit like hooker, no clear-cut standout so turn it into a bit of a bloodbath and see who steps up. Maddocks hasn't earned the right to be in camp. It would like inviting Dave Porecki ...

If Hodge is the alternative lock Banks in for the next five years. I don't think he's amazing, and he hasn't shown a heap to suggest he'll step up at Test level, but he's been the best fullback in Australia this year and at a certain point that should be rewarded. Put Wright and Koroibete on either...

Biden only has two years to get this through. GOP will likely get the house and Senate back in November 2022 and they'll block this if he doesn't get it done by then. Not worried about EU. Plenty of countries will veto that down. Has the EU ever passed a law about internet services that didn’t back...

There would be no incentive to invest in other countries either. That makes zero sense. It makes perfect sense. Ireland’s low corporate tax rate is THE major reason why so many foreign companies choose to relocate their business to be based here. Look, I don’t like it either, I don’t think it’s fai...

Cannot take accusations of racism seriously from a Frenchie. Any nationalities you would? Just curious. Sweden and Norway appear less racist than France. I live in Sweden and there's plenty of racism here. What is it that makes you think there is less than somewhere else? I'm not saying you're wron...

Comparing Latham to a journeyman like Banks :lol: Latho was bigger and had a far bigger boot. More importantly he was great in attack whereas Banks wouldn't threaten a pub team .

Well there is no real reason to take them, just hold the population centres. The reason is they will retreat there and attack Australia's position from there. The hills and mountains are in the urban areas too. It'll be costly to to establish a foothold and maintain. The US couldn't do it in Vietna...
