Championship Final - Hawke's Bay v Northland

@Snowy said in Championship Final - Hawke's Bay v Northland:
@Chris-B People more unkind than me might call it Karma. There is a price to pay for everything, money is just one thing.
Yet another aspect that NZR has been lax on this year - the release of that Deloittes report that identifies provincial player/match budgets.
As I've pointed out numerous times before, Ta$man has consistently been a shoestring team, except for 2018 when our stats were inflated by the costs of hosting a test match.
A joke that has now turned into something widely believed.
We've made the Div 1 play-offs consistently on a shoestring - I'm pretty confident that the 2019 data will validate this again.
And, whilst on this topic - we've made the play-offs every year since we were promoted from Div 2 in 2013. The ONLY team that has done so!

@Chris-B Everyone knows that the NZR franchise system bankrolls the bulk of your team - either that or your players play for Farmers gift vouchers.
ah yes, the old NZ Breakers gambit of Pak n Save vouchers. Massive, massive Pak n Save vouchers...

its ironic that the area with the most sunshine hours has the ability to consistently make it rain...money

Yeah, really?
Who in last weekend's stellar team is collecting these massive salaries?
Who in the team that played last year's final?
Do you have that NBA stadium "Defence cha cha cha Defence Cha cha cha" ringing in your ears there, Sir Chris, of the Shining armoury??

Bring back Team Naming Tuesday in rugby, we'd all have more to argue about midweek.

It might be the fear of another 12 months of TASMAN as NATIONAL CHAMPIONS seeping into their bones!
Christ - I don't think even I can sustain another 12 months of obnoxious behaviour!

We're not going to stop, and your protestations make it even more fun (if we were the types who might take the piss).
I know it is the piss artists - which is why that fucking Mark Robinson needs to get his finger out of his arse and publish the report!

I reckon you'll manage, been superb so far.
In the unlikely event that we somehow beat the lardy-arsed Aucklanders on Saturday, I may have to resort to my persona as supremely gracious winner!

Underdog status and fictional character all in one post. Impressive.
We might be upsetting the second division guys a bit here...
I actually would like to see the shield up for grabs in the Hawkes v Taniwha match. Adds some extra interest to the "championship" final.

I don't know why I found "Championship" so funny, but I did
