The ref should be NEUTRAL !
thus from the islands, japan, sa, argentina or some other country but NOT from nz

You should probably stay away from the big boy threads and concentrate on your return to the 80s of playing amongst yourselves.c

Yep, I even went into Safari to update my autocorrect details (I usually use chrome) to see if that would work, but nope.

It might be an iPhone thing, most of my social group use iPhones so were's usually filling them out together.

I can kind of understand not using an app. There will be massive pushback by the anti-mask brigade but f**k them, that shouldnt stop it. I think the pen and paper method is there perhaps for those not tech savy. My grandma (in her 90s) wouldnt know how to download an app for instance, doesnt own a ...

Great to see Victoria still relying on pen and paper record keeping for people that go to pubs/restaurants etc to assist with contact tracing. Share the pen too. It's fair enoough I suppose I mean we haven't had months to plan to open things up again. Pen and fvcking paper. :( Lots of places in NSW...

Really frustrating we don't have any video footage of a Haka from the 1700s. I wonder why that is. Would have thought it was more frustrating that there is lots of footage available from the first half of the last century and non of it portrays the haka dance in the way it's been portrayed since th...

fudge Sweden! There's a half dozen of those blue eyed fuckers stealing jobs from lazy unqualified Irish folk. fudge Finland too! The bastards.. Sweden, a country of cowardly collaborators. Finland >>>>> Sweden You might want to rethink that one considering what side of Barbarossa the Finns were on.

I reckon HB will put a bit of a B team out next week v BoP (who’ll get a towelling like they did v North Harbour) to concentrate on that last Shield defence v Wellington the week after. If we can hold the Shield and win the championship it’ll be a great season. Either option is just as awful (losin...

[quote="UncleFB You may want to pretend that all the criticism was about the trailer, and this is the thread you'll get support for that, but that’s utter B/S.

Yeah, pretty slack of Cook not to film a haka considering they documented most of the first contact.

0 0 again today. Double donuts. Fvck you covid, fvxk you Sweden. We are the New New Zealand. I wanna haka!! Too far? You lack the experiance and cultural connection to Haka. Id recommend you stick to Mr Bun pies as a form of celebration. On my next trip over I will order a six pack of Mr Buns pies ...

Not much of a Storm fan, but Ivan Cleary losing was my preferred outcome. :thumbup: Coupled with Moses and Matterson missing out on Origin (and Matterson seemingly ending up further away from it than he was when he chucked his toys and sooked his way out of his contract at the Tigers), it wasn't su...

Ever so much closer. Thank you Dan. A tough gig for sure. I will be pissed off again if you restrict visits to people's homes. Be warned.

Yeah I've seen loads of them on youtube and seen how the choreography has improved down the decades so much so that now look really scary. The strange thing is the only film I can find on youtube of non rugby hakas from the early part of the last century would suggest that the fierceness of non rug...

As a neutral this match should be interesting. Penrith have the youth and enthusiasm, Melbourne have the experience. I hope it's a good game. The pre-match entertainment was as underwhelming as expected. I utterly refuse to watch prematch shite. If I want to watch shit bands and awful dancers, I'll...

The three I mention all kept Fergie out of his rightful place in the ABs. Ah, should've guessed. Loved Fergie, one of the most pugnacious players ever. What was he, 5'6"? Never saw him take a backward step no matter the size of the player running at him. One of the last of the old-style toe-kickers...

Even when Waikato were likeable for beating Auckland to take the Shield, Andrew Strawbridge was easily the most hateable player in NZ. The overrated plum couldn't take two steps without throwing a ridiculous gestapo goosestep, often when no one else was around. I think you've misread the rest of NZ...

It's hilarious and disturbing to me that some people have a personal, emotional investment in Sweden doing poorly becaue, "the people on that bit of dirt did it different to we did on our bit of dirt". ffs. Surely we all hope that everyone does well right? In Sweden, the case infection numbers are ...

It sounds as if I’ve been rumbled. There is some logic behind my choices. You don't like fullbacks? I'm picking Fergie and DB would be exceptions to that rule.

What did they achieve Dark? Seems like they achieved sfa from my viewpoint. The Maori Party today are a much different more dangerous kettle of fish to 10 years ago. They are economically and socially illiterate and will see this country head the way of South Africa. Whanau Ora. Massive push for Te...

The records they kept during WW2 would suggest they're pretty good at counting.

UncleFB

Yeah that is very true (r.e. Emma Stone). For my personal 2c, I quite liked the all-women Ghostbusters. I thought it kept the same vibe and atmosphere of the originals and was quite watchable and amusing. Not the greatest movie ever of course, but it wasn't horrible. That movie was what made realis...

Is Bridges a young Jeff Wilson?

If Wilson only ran in a straight line and couldn't beat defenders one on one.

Clarke is a pretty solid footballer (good under the high ball etc) so it's a bit early to be writing him off as merely a power winger. I'm just glad he's there and not Bridge who deserved a cap last year but hasn't carried on with it. Rubbish, George Bridge's form has been excellent all year. Caleb...

The HBO movie "Gotti" is brilliant. It's also available to watch on Youtube.

Goodfellas is the obvious choice, but I went for the departed. Great movie all round. I like the Departed but Infernal Affairs was just better. The one thing about the Departed that annoyed me was how time passed too quickly. In Infernal Affairs they were in deep for a long period of time, but it w...

I reckon 1.
