I missed the pre-match news. Why was Tyrel Lomax scratched from the side?

Tehui

Walker-Leawere with the final turnover. With at least 4 turnovers in a single game, we now award you with the Sione Lauaki award for the season.

Tehui

TJ Perenara - the smile that launched a thousand ships.

Tehui

Moorby is definitely the best winger in the Hurricanes' side this year.

Hawkes Bay's Walker-Leaware fluffing the kick off and putting the Hurricanes under pressure again.

Tehui

The Blues are doing a good job of slowing the Hurricanes ball down - without getting penalized. Some other referees might have pinged them there.

Tehui

Naholo really needs to improve his ability to catch passes that aren’t perfect.

Tehui

1 minute in and the refereeing is a shambles.

I feel like the Hurricanes are going to get thrashed.

I don't like their chances of survival once Winnie retires.

A question for rugby historians, what's the greatest game between the Blues and Hurricanes in the franchises' 28 year history? My guess would be either the first Super Rugby game in Palmerston North in 1996, or the game the year after at Eden Park in 1997. I might have overlooked some other games wo...

So much for Jacinda's Nuclear free moment. The irony is Shane Jones was part of that juvenile woke-riddled Govt that banned oil and gas exploration in the first place. :roll: There's a part of me that finds Shane Jones' figurative language to be hilarious. In regards to my position between energy d...

They are getting into the phase where they will have less and less plausible deniability for a failure to turn things around and deliver, so I’d expect a continued decline in polls until interest rate reductions can start to rescue them. However, hope isn’t a plan and we are seeing in the US the im...

I could be wrong, but I think this government could be in trouble with voters. I've seen some other announcements recently that I don't think will be looked on favourably by the general public. It will be interesting to see what the next poll results are. They are getting into the phase where they ...

Note to oneself: use a different metaphor next time.

I read the transcript from that press conference and it sounded like a bit of a shambles. Ministers obviously have to get their figures accurate and verified ahead of any public announcement. There's been a few drop balls in this government's first 10 minutes of play, although I expect them to get b...

How can somebody say 'see you in the final', when the team has never even made the semi-final yet?

Tehui

I hope it's a good game. Who are the 3 outstanding players (however defined) for the Blues side, that I should watch out for? As a Hurricanes fan, I'm still re-familiarising myself with the players in the other NZ teams.

Tehui

Do we need to OECD weighing in at this time? Can we avoid or ignore it, and similar? Education, productivity and emissions: Three big problems NZ needs to fix, according to the OECD I could be wrong, but I don't recall hearing any of our political parties campaigning on these priorities.

Tehui

Just heard the result, have yet to watch the highlights, good to hear the Canes bounced back hard after their woeful performance last week.

Tehui

The Greens at it again I see. Strangely enough, I don’t expect their popularity to weaken given that it’s remained steady the last six months or so despite one scandal after another.

Tehui

In fairness, they have just had a 6 year freeze. I do not begrudge a pay rise. Pay peanuts - get monkeys I don't begrudge them either, but the timing and the optics of it are awful. Maybe the payrates of our MPs should be indexed to GDP and/ or some other measure. Give them an incentive to encourag...

Tehui

MPs and Ministers to get pay rises. In these tough times of austerity, they lead by example.

Unsure if you read above but there was a poll about the coverage not the validity

I see. It's like Fox News versus CNN coverage but Aoteroa styles.

Tehui

So there was a poll about the validity of another poll?

Time to send the big dogs after Eugenius. Somebody text Jambanji.

Tehui

He was the top point scorer in the comp. I have no idea of the % though. Attitude? The B/S excuse that is brought up by detractors, if attitude actually mattered then lots of ABs would have had short careers. McClutchie is essentially raising his siblings and keeping them from a cliched lower socio...

Tehui

No idea. Broken selectorial system in Super rugby? His detractors will claim that because he's not Dan Carter, or he didn't lead MP to a Super title, then that justifies him not being one of the 12 best 10s in the country deserving of a Super spot. I'm a bit out of touch with local-level rugby, I'l...

Tehui

:thumbup: Speaking of which, how come McClutchie isn't in a Super Rugby side this season? He's good enough. I don't know whether he has a background in playing halfback, but he looks like he could potentially be a player who covers 9 and 10. Maybe I'm dreaming. No idea. Broken selectorial system in...

Would have been a more regular Canes squad member if not for injury which allowed Devery to leapfrog him into the Canes. Hopefully he take his chances. I assume he was in the Hasting BH side the year that they held a lot of guns? * post-edit: yes, I just read his wikipedia profile. :thumbup: Speaki...

O'Reilly is out so we're down to 5th/6th choice hooker. If they can find one from outside the squad that is. I saw Leni Apisai playing club rugby for P/Plim against Tawa a couple of weeks ago. I work with his uncle. He's semi retired but there's worse choices at this stage He's too young (28) to be...

Why ? Perceptions are everything . Certainly the government will be taking notice of these results . Hopefully it’ll inspire them to get their shit together and at least communicate better . Luxon really has to stop repeating himself, its robotic and not going to endear him. I love you Eugenius, bu...

I wouldn't read too much into it, I'd say an election campaign would see NZF go up at least 1%, and if they get back the government stays . Especially as the greens would also usually drop a couple % compared to the polls Possibly. NZF, and Winston in particular, usually campaign well at election t...

I'm surprised by that polling. Based on history, I expect this National-led government to be a minimum two-term government (from memory, the last 1 term government in NZ was in the 50s?). However, I'd like to see the results of the next couple of polls before concluding whether public mood has tren...
