There was a reason for that ... -

Without wanting to start a shitfight, this forum does have somewhat of an anti-CRFU/anti-Crusaders bias. Though to be honest I think fans of these teams should wear this as a badge of honour. No one dislikes crappy teams. No-one dislikes battlers. People dislike the Crusaders because historically they've been the most successful NZ team, they're the most consistent NZ team and they're seen as been favoured at the All Black selection table. People dislike Canterbury because they've won seven provincial titles in eight seasons.</p></blockquote>
<br>
There's also a fair few who have a victim mentality from that region . <br><br>
No one cares about battlers , when it comes to opposition teams you either don't give a shit about them because you regularly beat the or you hate them because they are more successful than your team . Being hated is evidence of your success , the Aussies didn't call out Hadlees a piston wristed gibbon because he was a rubbish cricketer. -

... and not so much to do with the players or teams.</p></blockquote>
<br>
That too. Your team being successful doesn't make you a better person or your family's gene pool any less tragically lacking in diversity. -

What complete bullshit. You're just looking for anti-cantab in every single post. It's farking ridiculous. You once accused me of being anti-Cantab when I questioned whether Tabai Matson was the man to take over the Blues.<br><br>
Despite all your success you clearly have a massive chip on your shoulder. It would be amusing if it wasn't so farking bizarre. -

<p>I can't remember that discussion about Matson. Perhaps you could post a link so we can review it and see if I was being as unreasonable as you're now suggesting?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also I think you're being delusional if you don't think there is a predominately anti-Canterbury bias on this forum. Every single Canterbury supporter on this forum has mentioned it. Perhaps we're all just a bit dimwitted? Perhaps we're all delusional and paranoid? Or perhaps we've all experienced it?</p> -
<p>maybe it's all 3? Maybe it's Maybelline? who knows.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All I know is this is a pretty shitty way to celebrate another AB victory, with a pre-teen whinge fest. Grow a set you fucks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FWIW I hate every player not from BOP, and I even thought Cane wasn't that good last night, so I guess I hate everyone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Midfield definitely needs work, the first up combo hasn't gelled. How long do you give them?</p> -

Yes it was unreasonable. It was the same paranoiac, batshit crazy bullshit you're spouting now. -

<p>Just on Crotty. I think he's the perfect foil if he has a really good 13 outside him or 12 inside. He makes very few errors and is solid as a rock. It would be great to see SBW and him together.<br><br>
Fekitoa is headless chicken boy. Him and Crotty together are pretty pants.</p>

<p>I think this is right , sometimes a midfielder needs the right guy complimenting him , </p>

<p>I remember Mauger never quite looking as effective after Tana left . </p> -

<p>I thought that this forum was open about its disdain for and bias against all things Canterbury. I didn't think this was even up for debate. But it seems some posters genuinely think that there is no anti-Cantab bias. Fair enough, all us Canterbury fans must be mental and delusional.</p> -
<p>The other factor is Crotty at 12 is trying to replace an all time great, a player who is in the conversation as the greatest 12 of all time and a player who was very noticeable style on the field, a very different style to Crotty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Having said that Crotty has had a disrupted season of sorts, injured, at times not starting for the Crusaders - Ngatai had shown a bit more x factor at 12 this season. Unfortunately it looks like Ngatai will still be out so we may not get to see his chance for a little while at least.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wonder if Moala gets a chance at all in test 3 with Fekitoa and Ngatai looking iffy.</p> -

<p>Calm down - It's pretty much because of Canebry, the biggest troll on this site bar none.</p> -

No just you. -
<p>[attachment=2040:fwd pass.jpg]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seems pretty clear that 1st Welsh try was forward. Even without my crude photoshopping skills, allowing for approximations of where the ball was released and received, it seems forward. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Has there been much conversation on this?<br><br>
To the naked eye it looks forward. Is Wayne Barnes running that near touch-line. </p> -

<p>was as 'forward' as TJP's try last week.</p>

<p>My provincial bias sits at ITM/Mitre 10 level, I have no allegiance to any Super side except the Kiwi ones, and then I support the one that has the best shot at the finals when they are facing one another</p> -

In the last week I've read compliments for Reuben Thorn and Crotty, DC and McCaw have been worshipped as veritable gods for years. No one hates you, start taking the medication again -
