@Tim be annoyed if they drop Tupaea for Havili, Tupaea earned another chance to start, Havili offers versatility so is actually a good option off the bench.

talk about mountain out of a molehill...bet it was Fozzie that recorded this and released it to take the heat off him!

not really a Meme, but...

@bayimports we picked 3 hookers and wanted to give each a run, we also picked 1 specialist 8, but decided not to give him a run..

Sooo...went along to the Family Group Conference for the boy that mugged TR Jnr today.

This kid...when you hear the story, he's been up against it from day 1...and I think the way the system is geared hasnt helped either, but cant really go into too much here

Anyway, I got to say my piece for TR Jnr and added a bit from me, and I actually got quite emotional during it, which isnt what I had expected.

This kid had been busy, were other parents there, one of the other boys came as well, from incidents over a 4 month period .

Quite a draining experience, I went in with an open mind that this is a worthwhile process, and even told the boy I wanted to believe that there is some good in him and he can set himself on a positive path in life with the support he has around him.

After going through it, I'm no better able to determine if he will change his ways or if he will end up in prison (or worse...) in a year or 2.

He is in a good place (police enforced) at present and has been for 2 full months and will be for at least another 6 weeks or so, but whether he wants to move on, is upto him and equally as much, the ongoing support that he will need.

@booboo nah they were apparently official-like, so actual sources, not TSF sauces!

@Machpants yeah seems to be alot of speculation form people with 'sources' about at the moment.

Saw 2 opposing ones this morning, one saying there will be changes but wont involve Razor, then the other said Razor will be coach before the EOYT...both cited sources inside NZR

how was he allowed a 2nd crack at that turnover?

@kiwi_expat I like listening to Parsons, when he is talking, provides good insights.

That said, I think that is pretty obvious to all, bar Fozzie and NZR in that things have slowly been getting away from us under his watch, and the foot has been put to the floor this year.

@nzzp plus he reads the game pretty well too, how often a move starts on the right and several phases later he pops up on the left or just pops up at the right time several phases in.

@Machpants yeah I read that one too, it's a joke!

Been a few times over the last few years TR Jnr texts me at 11 or a time he should be in class and I either ignore him or reply saying arent you in the middle of class?

Might need a mini-rant in the parenting thread!

@Old-Samurai-Jack probably highlights another issue, particularly relevant when binding, is jersies are more fitting these days and the material less easy to grip onto.

When headlines are fucking stupid!

About halfway down the page it mentions the vehicle was booked for him and his wife (plus guide dog)

@mariner4life that'd be a red card and about 12 weeks nowadays

@Chris deserting a sinking ship...?

I expect a few off contract this year may well be considering thier options, as right now, a RWC next year isnt going to help thier value.
