Tangaroa was in a generous mood today @Dan54 For reference, nothing under 30cm in there so the big boy has gotta be pushing double that.

Warriors are re-launching their NRLW team from 2025 & Bulldogs will also be putting a team into what will then be a 12-team comp. Can see Warriors going hard on the recruitment front as they'll want to be competitive from the get-go. Makes it even more important IMO for Aus SRW & NZ Aupiki to...

At times last night it was like watching an early-2000's Tribe v CruSadists match but they'd switched jerseys.

Heading into bye week then W8 v Waratahs, W9 v Force (both away), W10 v Rebels at home. Plus W15 Moana who have a few tough weeks coming up starting with Blues tonight. Still a deep hole but Top 8 a lot more reachable than had they gone 0-6.

Snuck out of the house, I bet... Had to Google it: 'twas the Butcher Boys & we smoked 'em 30-22. We won't talk about what happened the following week :mad: Edit: but I'll have a look on YT for that awesome vid of the Nelson guy recreating the final sequence of play.

I couldnt tell you who Mighty 'nua were playing in the 1992 D3 SF but I can still remember the PA announcement of the Division 1 result: stunned silence while people got their heads around the concept of Auckland losing, then it sounded like the LPD grandstand was gunna come off. Pretty sure...

^ If we'd had social media at the time the end of Auckland's years-long NPC (7/9 titles 1982-90) & Shield (61 defences 1985-93) dominance would surely have been marked similarly...
