The Silver Fern

just saw this posted so another way to see who fit

I remember being very happy with fischli during the NPC so wouldnt mind seeing him get some minutes

@No-Quarter said in All Blacks 2025:

And of course I'm not letting this go, nobody else has, and it's Friday, my motivation to work is low, so starting meaningless fights on the Fern is the best way to pass the time

i just watched/listened too a 40min you tube vid of a guy building a desk....so yeah, i feel ya

i'll admit i always considered beating the them all at their home grounds as being part of a Grand Slam

@Grooter said in Highlanders v Blues:

@SouthernMann have a mate at otago uni who was watching training at Logan Park he presumes Lasaqa will be starting, Fakatava starting, Hurley at fullback, Gilbert on the right wing? then again he may have just caught them running drills on who JJ expects to be involved towards the final stretch

my leg wasn't being pulled, in saying that will have to take Clarke in my fantasy team as I sense he will be causing headaches against us

good luck with that

@Landers92 fair enough, ive never been a fan of that approach with rugby players, i think they'll always take it as a knock back

@Landers92 maybe i missed something, i thought he did ok, quiet but not a bad game, i was never a winger though

@DaGrubster only if youre looking for it i think....pretty clearly the PU's colours

@Yeetyaah 100% been saying it for years, if you think about lots of the other PU's in "catchments"...lots would work as good alternate jerseys

@Dan54 sweet, where was that announced?

@Dan54 in general i agree...great doing something different...my only caveat is what theyre doing....has been done by the south Africans teams and NRL teams for like 10 years, just feeds into the idea NZ is so far behind the times...and has been discussed seemingly poor choice in hero v team

I wonder how they decide which characters to use, not similar colours or anything

some AI fun

couldnt they at least give the canes something like wolverine?...you know, yellow and black

may we got hulk because we had green for so long?....or completely random

@Landers92 plus the SA teams did it probably over a decade ago...you know...when marvel was big...rather than when its a bit of a joke

@Yeetyaah oh shit, theyre marvel

so Highlanders are Hulk? blues spiderman, crusaders ironman and "watch this space" for canes?

@Daffy-Jaffy yeah, i just saw the highlanders one...not really sure what it was about, there not even a date like they often do...also, no chiefs one?

@mariner4life re BB....8 years ago

@mariner4life yeah, i dont get it, othert locations are calling for us to spend what ever it take to get RM back....to be BB's understudy, DMac third choice....i feel like im being gaslit

@Bovidae i noticed that as well and started to get shitty about it...then we did a few crooked ones and thought...at least hes being consistent and then decided it probably had little to no effect on the game so would rather play on than pull it back

i'd love someone to go back and actually look at what its been like in previous seasons, if im honest i cant remember a time when we havent started a season without a few injuries....so thinking it is just the fact i wouldnt have looked at other teams before so where as i felt we were always unlucky...everyone might have been int he same boat
