Time to go conservative in the US and invest in safer lower yield funds, while we weather an upcoming storm? Or is the current panic movement going to be short lived? And there are the elections. What are you talking about? Bonds? I think the current volatility will be short lived. Once inflation c...

Will be interesting to see if Robertson persists with a non-passing, ball-hogging, selfish centre like Ioane. At this stage 12 is Barrett and 13 is wide open. I don't have a problem with Ioane on attack. It's his defence that causes me worry. He's no Conrad Smith. His pace has saved us plenty of ti...

Some dumb penalties being conceded by the Chiefs here.

Edit....the announcers typical Aussie whinger complaining it wasn't much of a wrap. Clean tackle.

Yep, it was clean. But like they said - only just.

On a different subject, who's the consensus 12 & 13 combination for the ABs this season?

Tehui

It's a good thing that everyone is over the Cane red card.

Tehui

Go the Chiefs!

What's scary, is that the Nuggets haven't even hit top gear yet. They're such a well balanced team. It's early days, but I can see them going all the way.

On a slightly different subject, Jamal Murray should have been an All Star this season. I would have chosen Murray ahead of Booker.

This thread warrants Anon's contribution.

Pakia Pakia wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 10:00 am But considering Cane is 32 and will be 36 at the next RWC, whats the point of selecting him when he can select:

Savea
Papali'i
Lakai
Blackadder
Harmon
Kirifi

These are all fine players.

Agree. In regards to the other loose forward positions, is Finau the leading contender for the AB #6 jersey?

Nah, not this time. It's the return match against the Blues that the first loss will happen.

That's fair analysis from GON. I had similar issues with some of the Ministers in the previous government. That being, some of these people have had years in opposition to prepare for a specific Ministerial role. They should all be subject matter experts and be able to hit the ground running. It's ...

Damn, I didn't see this coming. I don't know enough about the circumstances to comment on the Ministerial demotions. Moving forward, it's going to be interesting to see how Luxon acts when one of Act or NZF Ministers cocks up. In my view, the non-National Minister who will be under the most scrutiny...

For me, this is a 50/50 game. Hurricanes to win the coin toss.

Anyone who was wondering why the greens rule out working with national have their answer. There is no way a green party could work with a party pushing these policies - if they were inside the tent and these policies got watered down, the greens would never get a green vote again Agree.

Game 2 Nuggets v Lakers was awesome, huge comeback from Denver punctuated by a Murray buzzer beater (and in a reversal of game 2 of the 2020 series, it was in AD's face). Lakers will complain about some refs calls but you kind of feel that was their shot. NY v Philly was a crazy comeback, b2b steal...

They're too smart for that.

Any word on Asafo Aumua's injury yet?

Can't believe the Crusader are seriously being talked about as being cut. They won the previous 6 titles and easily the most successful side. However, the economic side of things never really stacked up to have two teams in the South Island. Its sad but rugby is big business now. Business comes fir...

They really should let the 1-3 seeds pick their opponent though.

It's a shame that Dangelo Russell had such a poor shooting night, as the Lakers might have stolen the first game from the champs. Might be time to get the brooms out, a sweep could be coming.

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? My memory could be wrong, but I thought it was the Crusaders' first title win in 98, when they dropped ...

Is Brinded still there? Nah . Retired , met him and his wife . Highly regarded . Keri Evan’s took over from him . He’s now doing high performance stuff . The other was offered the job - not interested . I don't think I've met him, but he was definitely known amongst his counterparts in Wellington. ...

Thought they would have learned their lesson after they killed the 7s
It's an interesting concept to provide subsidised beer especially in the cost of living crisis.

A bit like tax cuts at the moment.

The Highlanders chose a good time to have a lean season. Their South Island cousins are attracting all of the negative attention. Highlanders have a strong chance of moving into the top 8 to become playoff contenders next week. I haven't seen many of the Highlanders games this season. But they look...

All but 2 of the Crusaders remaining games are at home. In those games they will be facing the Blues, Who they will struggle against, but the opportunity exists to bank at least a few wins this season. I doubt they have enough to make the knockout stage. 5 Wins was enough to get to the knockouts la...

I'm enjoying watching the Knicks v 76ers game. If I had the choice to watch an NBA game live in person, it would probably be Madison Square Garden.

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...
