I think this lot really don't give two hoots what the public think . They're in now, therefore "have a mandate" to pretty much do as they please. Also, the damage could well and truly be done before the public get the chance to have a say and of course, social media will be working overtime to spin...

Ted.

There's quite a number of projects across various ministries that had "time allocated funding". Basically certain programs were funded for set periods of time but were in addition to base line funding, not a part of it. It seems a number of these are not being replenished when their time frames are...

Ted.

Agree with that. I'd have Finau my 1st choice 6. He was very underused last year. But I'd have Shields over a wife beater or someone who goes missing like an Akira He's 33 now... 36 by the world cup... surely better long term options around? Blackadder, Grace, Flanders, Finau? Razor strikes me as s...

Ted.

Crikey.

Well done Force.

Ted.

Wow. Not a red

Ted.

Red all day.

Ted.

Very poor drive defence by the Brumbies. Papalii scores

Blues 24-0 Brumbies - HT
Straya's most unnecessary soup franchise is getting comprehensively bummed.

If one didn't know, one would think you were exceedingly happy at the prospect.

Absolutely, Enz. Lovi g the way he's reffing the breakdown.

Ted.

That's one nail.

Bad mistake by the Brumbies on the drop out.

Ted.

Oofff!

Clarke barges over at speed.

Ted.

In Auckland, yes

Ted.

Nice by the Blues. Try, despite being down a player.

Ted.

That's a lot more comprehensive than I imagined by the rhetoric around the RMA. IMO, that is basically a licence to rape and pillage. The big question will be whether the public is going to accept the changes. I think this lot really don't give two hoots what the public think. They're in now, there...

Ted.

The whole article is an utter mess, par for the course for Knowler these days. Highlights: - Love as a "100%" chance over Stevenson - WTF? - No Tupaea in the midfield convo - TJP a "100%" chance for selection, Hotham doesn't merit a mention (yet) - Brad Shields mentioned but not Flanders? Is he eve...

What's the everyone's vibe on the fast track legislation? Personally the idea that major projects can be done quicker makes sense, however having that final decision rest with a minister seems ridiculous without proper safeguards. It seems like a knee jerk sound bite policy which could terrible imp...

Ted.

Best game from Jordie/Proctor in a long time - amazing defence and leadership along with TJ. There was a funny moment at the end where it looked like Jordie was the only one who wanted to go for the bonus point. The front row looked gassed but all credit for getting the job done. I hope Numia keeps...

Ted.

Bump!

Ted.

And I've been looking at domestic/small commercial wind turbines. From what I've heard the main reason domestic turbines haven't taken off is the much lower wind speed at the height small turbines can reach. Utilities install 100m turbines for that reason as well as or enonomies of scale. Solar OTO...

Ted.

Yeah, didn't see what happened to Morgan, but there was quite a bit of late off the ball stuff going on. More likely a stray boot, though. Roigard and Aumua were/are arguably two of our best players and in the comp, full stop. It'd be a big loss if Aumua is now out too, but also a dent in the lads r...

Oh bugger, sorry about that TubbyJ/Tussock/Booji.

Ah yes, that did cross my mind. Combination of a typo and just plain wrong.

All you rabid Crusaders fans merge into one after awhile.

booji boy wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 10:24 am Well this thread has taken an unexpectedly entertaining turn.

tubbyj telling it like it is!

Tubby is the same that disgraced and embarrassed himself on the Tags Saders thread, is he not?

By all means, hitch yourself to his wagon.

Dan54. wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 10:28 am Anyway genuinely stoked with result, and I thought Jordie was exceptional in defence tonight, by christ I bet he tender tomorrow.

Agreed. The midfield was generally good though there was some worrying defensive signs early on, I suspect that was more a systems thing manifesting in the midfield.

Ted.

Wrong. :lol: Taranaki was part of the Canes region while Paul Williams was coming up - hence why Dan54 is a Canes fan. Maybe you've heard of the Barrett family? The father and sons played for the Canes. Or a guy called Conrad Smith? There's a whole lot of other players from Taranaki too. Only recen...

Got 3 tonight....
He was only reffing one side tonight. Homer aussie refs trying their best to keep the aussies close on the Table.
Paul Williams was born and bred in Canes country.

But Blews through and through.

Pull that lip in.

Ted.

Williams has lost the plot. He warned them. They gave him no choice. I struggled to see an offence that affected the delivery of the ball in several of the last 5 penalties. He was searching for it, so sure the Canes should have been extra cautious, but the also have to be able to play the game.

Ted.

Yay!

Hard luck Drua. That was tough.

Ted.

Williams has lost the plot.

Ted.

If Judd tries another box kick, I'll scream.

Ted.

That doesn't look good for Aumua.

Ted.

Williams is imaging stuff now.

Ted.

Discipline, for pitys sake.

Ted.

A good lineout drive and try by the Drua.

That was my feel too. I'd like to see the Hurricanes drive off the lineouts a bit more like they did towards the end of the first half.

Ted.

If it suits, I'll see if I can't round up a few of the denizens. Will try for a consensus re timing.

Sorry I find you a bit tedious compared to Eugenics so mostly just skip reading your posts that are over one line.

That wasn't too long, was it. You were able to cope? May I suggest you work up to understanding two lines.

Ted.

Mungo, which day do you prefer, get right in, or later in the week?

Welly Cabal?

Ted.

Another cheap shot from the Drua. The ref needs to deal with that.
