Re: NZ Politics Thread

What driving the surge in inventories? Assume there may be some sellers coming out of the 29 March 2018 and 26 March 2021 5 year brightline window but what else is behind it? Hoping it’s lots of new builds. I would also like to know why so many people are selling, people worried about prices going ...

Re: NZ Politics Thread

In isolation the logic is right, but if you include the numbers coming in from immigration we'll have a housing shortage for a while yet, no matter what ratio landlords/renters we have While that would normally be true, its not currently the case.

Re: Crusaders vs Hurricanes Match Thread

No they didn't, they finished with five wins and missed the top eight. Assume you mean 2022? Crusaders could lose eight and still win the competition, that goes without saying. Ah yes, I did look at 2022. Still you can lose 9-10 games and still make the 8. Even if the Crusaders scrape in I think it...

Re: SRP - R4 Highlanders vs ACT Brumbies

I expect this to be a close game and wouldn't be surprised to see the Landers take the win. The teams are equal on 9 points on the table but the Highlanders are slightly ahead on PD.

Should be a cracking game of afternoon rugby under the roof regardless.

Re: Jaguares back in Super Rugby

I think a better solution would be to scrap Super Rugby and instead elevate the NPC - have the 4 or 5 Oz teams join that. Not a bad solution. It would definitely dilute the talent between the 14 NZ teams. But 14 NZ teams vs 4 - 5 australian teams is hardly fair from an outside perspective. If all c...
