ell done to the Bay unlucky to our welly boys ..poor start couldn't get back up from a lying down position. Sone the old man needs to chill.. such a flop
Nah, he's not, his team just won a shield match.
The Shield now comes with "licence to be a fluffybunny" vouchers?
Sweet.
EDIT: Shit, now I realise why they're preventing Ta$man from getting a shot at it. Imagine the levels of @Chris-B 's sore-winner-ness with the Shield vouchers to amplify it. -

Sweet.TBH, I think his fluffybunny-ness helped nullify the Wellington comeback.
Plus, we play Baker every week so we've always got a fluffybunny on the park.

@Nepia haha I hope it’s the Cantabs. Fuck sake, we probably deserve to go down with the way we’ve turned up the last few weeks.

-
I’m off, well played HB. Much better side today. Enjoy.

You actually played pretty well in the 2nd half.

@Canes4life Thank you!

@Kruse Neither Kurt Baker or Taulamolo will be there next year.
Sounds good... If Ash Dixon cuts down on the being a sooker-ball player when it comes to ref-back-chat... I could probably feel comfortable being a Magpies supporter again.
But anyways... I only caught the last third of that match... congrats the Hawkes-Magpies.

@Machpants Wellington should be safe with Manawatu next week. I can see Canterbury getting up ove Auckland next week, beinfg desperate, at home and with all Auckland's apparent injuries. That leaves the loser of the North Harbour v BOP game to go down. Bonus points could have a say.
-
Told you guys it'd be safe for the summer!
Fluffybunnies 🤣

If you're complaining about Ash rightly pushing his team's case then I would prefer if you do not become a Magpies supporter again.

Next weeks last round going to be very interesting
I reckon
Wellington will beat Manawatu
Canterbury will beat Auckland ( only basing that on Aucklands Injury toll, I think Canterbury will treat that game like a final )
And it will come down to who ever loses the Bop v Harbour game ..
Thoughts people ..? -
@Kruse What do you mean "again"? We only have life long supporters that support the team through thick and thin, and believe me there have been plenty of lean years interspersing the good ones hence the reason why we rejoice in the odd win we scrap out every so often.

@Daffy-Jaffy you have got stop reading my mind , 😂

I would be a most humble and gracious Shield winner.
Tui billboard right there!
Alas, we're likely to never know.

@Chris-B be good to see Ta$man get a challenge next year ..you don’t become a bad side over night , it still does my head in the All Black coaching staff taking so many fringe players out of this comp ..like it really helped the All Blacks last night 😂

@Steven-Harris Great minds! A quote i've always liked is - "Great minds talk about ideas. Average minds talk about events. Weak minds talk about people". I would guess most of us Ferners on here fit somewhere between the last two!

Are you guys going to conspire to avoid promotion, or simply rely on NZ Rugby's incompetence to ensure we don't come anywhere near playing you until the shield is long gone?
That was the poor Wellingtonians' first challenge for 6 years, but at least they got one.
Second longest challenge drought is now Auckland, who have ticked over five years.
But it pales into comparison with Ta$man's 1 September 2012.
