Re: War in Ukraine...
Another pro Russian saffa The alternative view is that Ukrainian lives are being sacrificed in an unwinnable proxy war between NATO and Russia and that all this latest tranche of funding will do is to prolong the conflict. The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is 43. No amount of money will reduce...

To be honest, I think I muddled up annual leave and something about sickness among staff. IIRC, I was driving at the time, but not drinking, so not a total fudge up.

Re: NZ Politics Thread

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...

Re: The Semi-official Because they haven't, we will DRUA v CANES Match Thread.
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...

Re: The Semi-official Because they haven't, we will DRUA v CANES Match Thread.
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...

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.

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?

Re: The Semi-official Because they haven't, we will DRUA v CANES Match Thread.
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.
