Re: Name Ideas

It's not likely to be anything involving the name of the team, Harey's contribution aside. It is more likely to be something that all three unions can relate to, something or someone iconic from the team's history. Well just name it for the three things each of the three regions are individually no...

Re: Name Ideas

Back when the New Orleans Saints were terrible in the NFL, their fans used to wear paper-bags over their heads so they couldn't be recognised as Saints supporters and started calling them the Aints. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.streetlevel.com/media/2010/03/saints.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/afap...

It appears it is now acceptable for a man to purchase jewellery for another man... And I didn't believe them when they said same- sex marriage would destroy the foundations of society as we know it, with terrible consequences.

Re: Disgraceful Johnston may sneak out of Inlt retirement

Census was in a bunch of my classes at school - he's more kiwi than 'fush and chups'. He was a well liked class clown, but also a hard wit kant.

Re: Life ban for an 11 year old?

As Demilich says, a lot of the refs in junior rugby these days, certainly in Auckland, are young fellas. Teenagers not much older than this 11 year old. The young age of the referee is considered a major aggravating factor when junior rugby players come before the judiciary. A life ban is certainly...

Last Game of rugby

So after almost 30 seasons I may have played my last game of rugby/league.
