@Yeetyaah thats about as much as heard about it, big messy party
this is all stuff that i suspected but a big call to actually come out and say it i think
what was the podcast?
-
@Kiwiwomble What a Lad podcast hosted by James Marshall. Pretty decent tbh.

@Tim At Super Rugby level, Harmon and G. Evans aren't limited players. I'd say they are very handy players at this level. Both very injury prone though. And Evans is 30 years old now, so may be looking at a stint overseas.
Yeah Harmon is excellent, he's quite a bit more traditional openside than most - not quite test level good, but better than the likes of Choat, Lentjes, Gibson...

just listening to the solomon alaimalo one, interesting to hear he did get back to the point where he could train with the injured guys, thats good, really sounds like he'd just missed too much to force out one of the other guys rather than still really struggling
...also interesting he seemed to struggle to remember how many siblings he had!

wow, just reading that browny was on a flight to japan on saturday night after the game...how could you not be distracted!
-
@Kiwiwomble Yeah, I posted that in the match thread. Was a bit surprised to read that. Was wondering whether travellers still have to go into quarantine when they arrive in Japan ...

No, for travelers from NZ who are tripled vaxxed.

I'm thinking about starting a Givealittle for Nasi to get a nose job.

after 4 episode i am well and truly over the "lad" stuff

Long time since I posted in here, think I’ve lost my will to live after watching the Highlanders the last 2 seasons.
Will be interesting to see who the coaching set up is. The success of the 2015 season was built on culture and having a staff who was strong and represented that - followed by players who brought in.
This year the honest fact is we just don’t have the x - factor we had in pass one a Naholo, Fekitoa… we hit the jackpot with these guys who where fringe players in other franchise but seemed to be lured down by Joseph. -

Yes, that's very tedious. And not every guest can be a good bastard. The other bone I have to pick with the podcast is that there's a lot of assumed knowledge - especially when he's talking to former team mates and they use nicknames for other players and the poor listener has no idea who they're talking about because James doesn't explain, when a good host should.
Then again, the latest one with Ajeet Rai was excellent, even though they'd never met before.

so i listened to the Lima one to hear about that 2013 party, solomon alaimalo as mentioned, denny solomona for obvious reasons (he seemed like a bit of a dick if im honest) and now elliot dixon just to hear what he says about that try...but then im done i think
-
@Kiwiwomble Dixon was good value but yes, I'd space them out. Bigger fan of Between Two Beers - better variety of guests too.

@Kiwiwomble Fun but still shit
