Lolwut Can I sue them because I'm over 25 and they won't sign me? Decent lawyer could easily find a 26 yo who is equivalent to a 23/24 yo (caps earned etc) and sue for nuisance money. If it's illegal in every other workplace...... No they couldn't. Who decides the player is as worthy of being signe...

Lam isn’t ideal at 12. But physically is closer to Heem than Evans, and Cotterball requires big physical bodies across the park. Select big bodies, reliable workhorses and safe journeyman. Play conservatively and the results will come. :thumbup: But do we want to win boring? I don't want to end up ...

13 years is short enough... but 3 1/2 years? That's just encouraging it!

I would agree with previous posters that the worst thing you could do is give our resident troll the oxygen of publicity by quoting him – even if you tear him to shreds. It would also make sense to press the ‘ignore’ option into service: Click on his user name. Right click on ‘add foe’ and ‘open li...

Grandpa

The try set up by Taylor won them the game imo. It caught us napping and took them into the break close enough to give them hope and belief. I think the winning of the game was in the perceived scrum dominance. Getting territory and possession at will from (almost) every scrum was a real weapon and...

It’ll be interesting where Ngati Whatua stand. Quay Park is on their land. They’ve been supportive of a stadium there in the past but earlier this year a spokesperson was on record supporting Eden Park. Sounds like they were involved in the project for Quay Park from the start? https://buchan.au/me...

Ian Rush gets the award for top quote about playing overseas. Lineker did pretty well, btw. Has to be Charles at the top, then probably Keegan. Stevie Mac did as well as Bale - largely credited with one of Real's Champions League wins. What was the Rush quote? "I couldn't settle in Italy. It was li...

So NZ Rugby thought Silver Lake was the organ grinder... and Silver Lake hoped NZ Rugby would be the organ grinder... instead, we have a pair of monkeys.

I was only joking about Jordie at 10. Wasn't supposed to be a serious discussion.

England's best football export? Britain's too? Who is he competing against? Keegan, Bale, and Charles I think.
The English Bale?

Harry Kane?

Paul Gascoigne?

Champions League winner? Euros winner? Yes No But yeah, he’s unreal. I do think Southgate plays him out of position though. England's best football export? Britain's too? Who is he competing against? Keegan, Bale, and Charles I think. The English Bale? :D Harry Kane? Paul Gascoigne?

Yes. That’s what the Eden Park supporters (ie: the north harbour stadium supporters) on council want. The status quo. So what's your gut telling you?
