perhaps, if you are in danger of going fucking blind from playing rugby, you should give it away?

or just wear some goggles.

Oops! It's a loop

@booboo Just a funny picture of Chelsea Clinton.

We need an @Tim Meme only thread.

It will have to come with instructions 😁

@canes4life said in Foster signs 2 year extension:

The thing is, if we win the World Cup he will most likely be reinstated again. Ffs.

and so he should be.

Just watching Star Wars again

19 fucking 77

George Lucas. That's just fucked how you nailed that bitch.

There are fuck all movies that don't date but this fucker doesn't.

Boozed by the way

If we win this, all off-season I will be saying "we could have won the damn thing if Jacobsen wasn't injured..."

Remember all those years ago when we joked around about Foster becoming coach.

Oh how we laughed....

Some one must have hacked his account as BSG would always scoff and laugh at those who did grand exits. Must be someone else.

These huas read the fern!

three times in the past week, about a couple of hours after a conversation on these threads, suddenly an article would appear.

Theo Walcott??

@Kid-Chocolate

Likely to scratch as track will be far too good.

Same draws and and scratchings back in race. Wednesday in race 6.

Super duper exciting. Expectations are realistic but fuck a duck it’s exciting to just have a horse in the race, let alone being competitive on paper

@Duluth @JK @allothers

I’ll be watching at the Auckland Casino TAB if you want a beer on me!!!

This is behind a paywall at Racenet. Interested in the Kiwi above, too.

Group 2 Hollindale Stakes runner-by-runner guide

Zaaki won (as expected at 1/5), but a very nice runner-up for Polly at 18-1, nice slice of a half-million dollar cheque! Finished strong in a G2 less than a length behind Zaaki, one of the elite horses in the southern hemisphere. For a second in that last 50 I honestly thought she had a chance to get up and steal it.

1800m short of her best. Off to Doomben cup now weather permitting.

Super proud of her run just the fisnish line arrive too quickly.

Waller’s five attempt to take down Zaaki

Leading trainer Chris Waller is renowned for gang tackling big races but even he concedes his team of five may not be enough to take down Zaaki in Saturday’s Group 2 Hollindale Stakes on the Gold Coast.

Waller expects to have Kolding, Polly Grey, Hungry Heart, Great House and last-start winner Kukeracha in the $500,000 contest against headline horses Zaaki and Ayrton.

Holy shit, crying just because you beat the saders in a round robin? The state of it...

Heartless. Good passion IMO

After getting pumped so much and 50 shipped last week against us. That is what you want to see from your team.

I loved it. Good on him

Great to see how much it means to them. Tears and all

Crusaders playing well….

I doubt it. She’ll have to carry too much. Been nominated for Doomben Cup.

Wow. Going to face some extremely tough company in that race.

‘Unfinished business’ instead of Royal Ascot for Zaaki

Trainer Annabel Neasham confirmed the seven-year-old is headed north for what will likely be a two-run campaign over the winter carnival, before being set for the Cox Plate in the spring carnival.

She will only go if conditions suit. She won’t face them on top of the ground i doubt. In the right conditions she is a great force.
