The leagies are involved in a code war that exists mainly in their own imagination. None of the other codes really give a f_ck. We have at least 25 years of evidence by Aussie posters on this bored that that isn't true. :nod:

Hard to narrow it to just 15 (be much easier if it was 15 of each genre I like), but will give it a shot:

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Kreator
Morbid Angel
Demilich
Artillery
Sodom
Saint Vitus
Bathory
Exodus
Dio
Countess
Queensryche
Motorhead
Paul Simon

No, three year rule is already dumb. You don't get to play for a nation with the expectation that you're only playing once due to some lack of available talent and then immediately switching to your other preference.

It's not just Auckland - a lot of incredible talent coming thru in the Far North as well. We are currently converting a bunch of them to league. Too many years of players watching Aucklanders being bought in for Northland and local pathways being ignored. League might be a poor cousin in the far nor...

What can they get away with? Is it a pre-season thing or do they keep juicing during the season? I have no idea mate. If I had to guess I reckon a lot of them were on gear in off-seasons during amateur years when testing wasn't as affordable and prevenant and they just maintain a lot of that due to...

Interesting discussion on The Rest is Politics speculating that this Trump presidency is really just about corruption and enriching Trump personally.

Other sports with weight classes face the following issue: Competitors seek to manage their weight so that they can meet the limit at the appointed time before the competition - whether that is 1 or 2 hours or 18.

U85 league comp in Auckland used to be massive. First year I played there was well over 20 teams. And we had guys playing the year after they retired from the NRL. 9 out of the 10 biggest hits I've taken in my life would be in U85s, not prems. Rugby eventually got their act together and started prom...

Unification only requires two belts. If the WBO is stripped the winner will still be a 'unified champ' (Usyk already is) but not 'undisputed'.

I hope the Tigers have the balls to leave Galvin In reserve grade for the rest of this season and then all of next. Eating a top 30 spot and 350k cap in the hope it forces change and takes power away from greedy cvnt player managers.

Half that. Hopefully the midterms sees him become a lame duck. They won't get 67 senate seats, even if Trump rapes a disabled child in broad daylight on main street. Nothing he is doing is going through congress, so lame duck status has very little value. Maybe I am wrong, but i thought it would go...

2E is pretty wide - there is also 'D' for standard 'wide' in-between normal toe-box and 2E. I spent pretty much my entire childhood (other than when playing rugby) barefoot and 2E is plenty for my wide toes (D is pretty tight though).

I have been buying Brooks, because I have a very wide foot. From memory I had one and one only pair of Nikes and didn't buy a second, third etc because too tight.

Yup, you'd get 'stocked' for far less desirable shoes than that in the 80s and 90s.

That's a bit of a misrepresentation. Only an absolute weirdo would be happy to see innocent legal citizens deported under any circumstances.

I breed and sell chickens and one of the breeds produces white rooster chicks and caramel coloured hen chicks, so you can sex them as they hatch.

Jesus some you guys are old. I came to game in 96 and then in the US no sand. You would front toe the dirt to get a little elevation then a teammate would hold the ball. A lot of us in NZ started playing at age 5 or 6, which I suspect wouldn't be the case with rugby in the US. I'm early 40s and yet...

I'd take Allen over Burrow to be fair but still take Mahomes over either. I'd take Mahomes or Jackson over Allen but thats possibly style preference on my part. Allen at times pulls off the most amazing plays though. Ravens with Jackson and Henry plus dependable outlets like Andrews, Likely and Flo...

Pre-kicking tees, when no sand was available, we didn't necessarily just heel a divot and put the end of the ball in. You would usually quickly heel a circle of 4 divots, giving yourself a raised tee of sod to kick off. Was pretty effective.

Second-year 7th form was standard at that point in time for the Kelston 1st XV - made sense, as there was much better exposure on the World stage, as opposed to spending that year at club level.

KBHS is my old school, and while I support the win I have to say I feel like that school needs funding elsewhere. That place was a shithole in the 90s and visiting around 6 years back it's not any better. I read it was the third world title for Kelston - 1998, 2012 and now 2024. I wouldn’t mind see...

Commentators before the game ascribing a points value to the wind.

Well Jeff, it feels like the All Blacks are going to be running with a 12 point wind in the first half.

Yeah I am not so sure. When the various league talking heads were discussing the ins and outs of this a few months ago they raised some very valid negative points. This is very much a political decision, not a sports decision. I am not much of an NRL fan so I don't care, but I can see it flopping h...
