O8s there something wrong with old stand at Waikato Stadium? Why was it not used?

@WillieTheWaiter may be able to tell us.

oh yep maybe - does need some earthquake strengthening work done to bring it up to code - didn't think about that.. just assumed they didn't think it would get that big of a crowd.

Oh ok yeah you're spot on. GCT and Boshier going overseas are the nails in Foster's coffin,

Wow. That''s not what I said, man. On the smelling salts again?

Are you jailbreak?

nope but you replied to me.

Because you weirdly replied to my reply to him, and I stand by my reply to him.

I thought this was a forum.

Happy for you to fill me in on how GCT and Boshier would have saved us from our catastrophic year this year though.

My point was it is not a fair comparision because there isn't the depth there this year (and actually Josh Blackie, if that is who you mean, was a gold medalist and Junior AB so could play a bit. GCT I'd argue, has been a solid player for the blues even if currently ineligible, I don't think that was a crazy suggestion, it is not as if Patty T suddenly became lethargic in tests when he started).
My second point is if you move the goalposts there won't be a fair discussion. I'm guessing @Jailbreak7 was saying other players should have been tried, and those going overseas were probably let down a tad early.
But you appear to be conflating and extrapolating wildly, focusing on just two of the points @Jailbreak7 made, not the entire post (application, muscle, inventiveness, succession plan, strategically unprepared for NH coaching/experience)...
Yup, you boiled all that down to GCT and Boshier. He/she said that but a helluva lot more.
Since you only want a personal to and fro with a "weird" fragment of @Jailbreak7 posts I'll leave you to your strawman solipsism.
My point, I see, was made by @MN5 but with more subtlety. Kudos.

I am not sure I have ever read the word 'solipsism' on the Fern before.

I’m even more surprised a point I made was described as “subtle”

I've got you on ignore so must have missed what that point was. Even more subtle.

Got me on ignore and then quotes me.

Yeah that’s real choice internetting there bro.

Sorry missed that, got you on ignore.

It looks like Jonathan Taumateine has joined the Samoa squad:

If Skeeny didn't see it, it didn't happen

there's got to be a Skeen meme mashup with the grassy knoll somewhere. If he didn't see the second shooter, it didn't exist 🙂

The FBI just never looked at enough angles.

clear and obvious second shooter

I'm still baffled as to how Fiji lost to Uruguay.

They switched off mentally, showboated, and didn't take them seriously. Uruguay tackled like their lives depended onit, and snatched every chance they got.

But yeah, the physical mismatch was remarkable

They were outpassioned I tells ya

It was a good solid effort tonight. Better work at the ruck and when they got a sniff they executed better than the Uruguay match.
