This is what Tehui was alluding to when he said he wanted to discuss the hood with Moonbatto

All animals are biologically predisposed to procreate and raise young. So I think it's pretty obvious why people might want to have kids. Kids are also a lot of time and hard work, so it's pretty obvious why some people might choose not to have kids. I also think there is a lot of confirmation bias...

Ika, have you ever backed down when someone joins a thread and clearly demonstrates superior knowledge and understanding on the subject at hand? I would love, just for a week, to have the confidence of Mog. I don't doubt that for a second. In the meantime you can try and boost it up with snarky com...

I know this is PR n'all, but it'd be fantastic if - despite our collective cynicism - we could aim to be better than that. On a less cynical topic, it might be time for a Wellington Election Cabal. Ted? Tehui? RB? Wignu? I'm keen to meet MoonBatto and trade some old war stories about the hood. I'd ...

I thought body building ladies turned you on, Mog? :lol: No!! Just a different terminology then, as you used to devote entire threads to your fixation with built ladies with muscles. I’m sure magic Mike will search them up. "Anyone who doesn't like muscle bound women with legs the size of tree trun...

Yes agreed it's very basic. 1014 guys were awesome at giving stats I hadn't even thought of albeit in a limited two man capacity. Not sure if the are still around? I must admit to not being a stats fan, or the ones we get in press. I saw somewhere a copy of even GPS reading on a player, they show n...

I agree pl;ayers aren't going to slag off team mates, but neither do I think you say a player is probably best in world at one part of game. I am quite sure if they all media trained , they would just they can say things without rubbishing people etc. I guess following that idea, you don't think we...

Just seen this https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/hurricanes-and-hawkes-bay-magpies-lock-suspended-over-cannabis-use/QQ33UTEXKVC3LAST7RG4RQWKKE/ Is this why the 3 were sent home from Japan for personal reasons?

I wonder if there is logic in carrying a player you can easily replace? If a key player gets a 2-3 week injury during the tournament, you can't replace them because then they are out of the tournament for good, so you have to carry them instead. If you basically have a designated patsy (*cough* Cla...

Only 9 Crusaders players in the entire squad. Tough on the seven times champions, but that's what happens with Ian Foster as the head coach. Not a single backrower from the Crusaders either. The Crusaders are more successful than Leinster, but can you imagine Ireland picking a squad with just 9 Lei...

RuggaBugga

Instead of Jacobson? Well, in the biggest game that they've played against each other, the SR final, Lio-Willie made Jacobson his plaything. His private dancer. His 'Little China girl. And yet Foster strikes me as a Tina Turner/David Bowie fan! I'd be a fan of Lio-Willie, we went to the same school...

RuggaBugga

I can actually see the logic in having Barrett as our primary lock, and alternating Whitelock and Brodie as the other lock/bench lock to manage their workloads. Yep. Best Barrett is our leading lock. Retallick and Whitelock have both had good games and are in good form, but Scott Barrett has to be ...

The top 15 are solid, some doubt about back ups if we have an injury or two

ALB then Lester?

RuggaBugga

Dodgy af with Retallick carrying an injury as well.

Finau biggest omission. Basically a straight swap for Clarke.

I think you’re right and yes - per above - don’t see a good 13 alternative in the squad. Not sure of the nearby holiday plan for players - if one exists - or if they are NPC’ing. If we need to take Lord I’d be dropping a Finau over a prop as have ScoBa. Unless they use Frizell or Finau as lock cove...

Go back a post or two and see what fucktard (pathetic insult, up there with libtard, try harder) said. Sometimes it helps to read ahead before jumping in and making comments.

What type of surgeon Jtah? And when you say tax sugar do you just mean actual sugar or all foods high in sugar? The real eye opener for me a few years back is how much sugar there is in purportedly 'healthy' foods like a lot of breakfast cereals. Even some with the heart foundation tick. Levying a ...

Yes, given how maligned she was in real life it is sickeningly hypocritical. I remember a thread on here?

Argentina probably the best on that side and even they have massive brain collapses
I’d like to see Argentina and Fiji in the semis. With NZ and France on the other side. Would be good for the game. And this place.
I'd love to see South Africa out in the group stages

I reckon people who are “professionally” successful(in any job) even moderately are probably more susceptible to feeling like a failure due to pressure/misTakes etc. It’s not really a moat to feelings of worthlessness. I have known two people take their own lives, both outwardly very successful and...

I sincerely hope Ireland will recognise Sinead with a statue in St Stephen's Green and renaming St Mary's church after her. You must have really hated her? Seriously though, RIP Sinead.
