Thanks for summarising mate. I thought your similes were spot on, flowery or not 🤣

Y'all need to listen to the latest TWL podcast if you haven't already. Fonzie on point imo.

Wellington has Te Papa and everyone knows the name so, Te Waka Where everyone knows the names

No, they need credible and less conglomerate-led policies. Sell-outs yet they talk like they know whats best for us. Talk about not being able to read the room 😵‍💫 Or thinking we're like every right-wing country in the world. No wonder Luxon's resume is that of a numptie. Seymour is a joke...

This is why looking at the table 7 games in is a wasted exercise. But, this year if we're sitting well mid-season and the rest are mostly done bye-wise it makes it interesting. Still, nothing beats winning games 😏

This. Exactly this. Remember last year when we had almost all the troops on board? And the team was all the better for it? Even Harris got to play reduced minutes? This break is a godsend after 4 games in 23 days, the last 3 in 15 days. With how many 1st string troops out? Its not rocket...

Nah, the movie and the book is The Boys in the Boat and its written like a novel based on a true story about a rowing team from a college in the states that against the odds made the olympics in Berlin when Hitler was on his roll (Jesse Owens made the same US olympics team.)

I see what you did there lol

Some say the book was written for the purpose of being a movie as some books are (like Grisham books) but I read it before it was a movie. Still had some nuances that the movie misses like others. Not a big book but worth the read. The best book I've read that was made into a movie and both were...

Just on the book theme (and it is related) try reading The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown.

I'm a half-full glass type, every year is our year. This year is still full of promise results-wise and my take is its not over till the fat lady sings. Regardless, I intend to enjoy the ride. Be a basket case otherwise 😅

Mate, its not the end of the story...

...and we won't change it up, be less than one-dimentional until we stop going to the go-to option. He's playing injured and thats not helping but f*** me, noone is going to stand up if he is the only option. When its on, its on. We've seen the variations but they're rarely played. Give the...

Same, all good

There are quite a few studies on it and the link below is one of them. Will try to find the one I was quoting and post the link. Apopo 😆 my concentration is a bit impaired atm https://www.snexplores.org/article/learn-comprehension-reading-digital-screen-paper

I'm looking forward to SJ being given a break so we try something different in attack

Will add to the above that this is one of the downsides of the technolagy age. Our kids today lack the capacity to focus and retain information because so much of their 'education' comes to them via a screen.

Jeez, trying my best not to get involved in this thread! 😵‍💫 I've been a prolific reader all my life and like a reformed addict, these days I try not to pick up a book because all else stops if I do. Literally (lol). I will say this, the online reading experience is absolutely nothing like...

Maybe Webby kept the team on for punishment. He said in the presser the loss was about attitude, or lack thereof 🤔
