<p>3 of us had ours at a student bar, and we put some cash behind and negotiated $1 wines and $2 jugs of beer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And yet, still had a few complainers that it wasn't free. Tough Crowd!!</p> -

<p>Say no more! It all makes perfect sense now</p> -
While it's easy to suggest McCaw was too driven to consider the other team much while reflecting on his own team's accomplishments. A fair bit of it must come down to having an intellect that avoids cliches and responds to the journalist's questions.<br><br>I mean "all credit to them, they played well" is a stupid statement. Anyone who knows anything about the game could see that the opposition either did or didn't and the scoreline will tell you which team took their chances. Invariably the winner on the scoreboard is the better team.

<p>Nah, removed myself three years ago. Felt like we had too many, and I'd become very boring as a poster since becoming a mod. Don't tell me you'd started a thread in the mods' forum (if one happened to exist :whistle: ) 2 years ago and you're still waiting for me to reply? </p> -

<p>You've just witnessed MN5s own goal a page back and then you go and top it?</p> -
<p>Who is Matthew Ridge?</p>
-
<p>I'll throw another out there - Ali Williams - the media seemed to lap him up cos he provided a bit of a change of pace for them in press conferences/interviews but to me he didn't come across as funny, but rather someone who thought he was funny, an arrogant knob would be more accurate. The smug look on his face and his often condescending tone weren't a good combination imo. </p>
