I would argue that Clarke is one of the form NZ wingers. His break out near time won the game for the Blues last week. He is looking stronger, faster and more elusive than the 2023 model. Yet you want him dumped? In addition, I'm not sure we want Tele'a and Reece tripping over each other fighting f...

It’s sad that you have to extrapolate to,silly arguments rather than address the real concern. And now even the pharma’s are admitting the fault.

Yes, I realise they’re Not relevant to the points being made though. Not relevant...you sure?

We are all well ...

They will stand by their 10s of millions saved. The extrapolation is laughable, but subjective enough for people to believe it. You know what is laughable... Oh sure.

For the record, my point about excess deaths isn’t related to the vaccines as people above are. My point is that the over all measures were damaging to human health, and that the vaccines weren’t that effective. They will stand by their 10s of millions saved. The extrapolation is laughable, but sub...

Indeed. However it wouldn't be the first time that big pharma produces something that many unfortunate buggers wish they'd never taken. Time will tell on this one, and I expect it to be ugly.

South Dakota is great fun and the main towns are significantly less depressing than Charleston or Morgantown, with far fewer obviously addled addicts wandering about.

No Caleb Clarke? And I would have Love over Stephenson. No Clarke. Telea and Reece are the form wingers in NZ, and Jordan, Reiko, Stevenson, and Jordie in a pinch can all cover. Surplus to requirements. I would argue that Clarke is one of the form NZ wingers. His break out near time won the game fo...

Super Rugby kicks off this week. Time for some bold predictions regarding what Razor's first AB squad will look like.

We are over halfway through Supe 2024 and anyone who doesn't have Caleb Clarke marked down as one AB winger either hasn't been watching much Supe or is being parochial.

I’d love the US to properly retreat from global geo politics. And see how long It is before they’re begged to return. Particular by tiny Australia in the far distant pacific.

Threads like this are embarrassing, they highlight that a tiny minority of Rugby fans still have a massive chip on their shoulder when it comes to Rugby League. You simply don't get threads like this in reverse on RL forum s. Rugby simply isn't on the radar as as issue. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol...

I mean apart from Ted, Usermame and ENZ on this thread, the rest of us don't really have any skin in the game when it comes to paying for the thing.

Design wise and location wise, the mooted Eastern CBD stadium is the best IMHO.

Just watched this game. I love it when the plucky underdog comes from behind to win a game. Sadly, it was not the case here. Force were excellent.
