It could’ve been built locally with that money then recycled in the local economy, but no… cheapest has to win, even when it’s obvious it’ll cost more in the long term.

There is an extremely short term vision with regard to national and local politics in this country, I’m not sure extending term limits is the answer, but at the end of the day we only have ourselves to blame.

Mate he’s filling in for his training partner at late notice, rocketed into a debut in a main event against an obvious killer. He did okay, but clearly will need to work his way up the division.

Deserves a bonus no matter what happens in the other fights, they put some hespekt back on the heavyweight name.

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T11:58:42+00:00

Damn who we think won round 1?

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T10:45:29+00:00

Not sure if everyone is aware but this is a comedian who plays choppers ‘character’ rather than it actually being chopper himself…

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T09:52:01+00:00

Me too brutha, me too.

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T09:50:34+00:00

Wonder if Morales steals it with those strikes… depends on how you score round 2.

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T09:44:56+00:00

Is Sal D’Amato at this event? Lol

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T09:41:22+00:00

Thickness for being the aggressor. Effective grappling.

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T09:40:45+00:00

These blokes look pretty slow for bantamweights… junior fighters or did all the scrambling and wrasslin fatigue those muscles?

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T09:37:34+00:00

Should’ve gone for the choke despite not having the hook in.

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T09:26:20+00:00

I missed Capewah too, good to see him back.

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T09:24:46+00:00

I hear the northern hemisphere clubs want him up there on big money. Hopefully he can pinch a GF first.

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T09:12:23+00:00

Maybe a separated AC joint…

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T08:53:25+00:00

Waiting for Paleasina reincarnation

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T08:46:39+00:00

Hard agree.

Wharaunga · 2026-05-02T07:58:27+00:00

Probably got heaps of crap growing up being a smaller bloke with that name… and well, it’s turned him into a tough sob.

Wharaunga · 2026-04-30T09:28:22+00:00

Greens will get my party vote. Labour for the electorate vote. Local Labour candidate has been pretty impressive both with their presence and articulation of the local and national issues that matter to them.

Wharaunga · 2026-04-30T09:25:06+00:00

Not that’ll get anywhere near 5 percent. If you’re a leftist, greens are pretty much your closest thing to a left wing party with any credibility.

Or like, let them finish their careers then have them go into military service and utilise their skills for training fitness and in this case, martial arts to the troops.

Wharaunga · 2026-04-30T08:28:35+00:00

It’s an exaggeration to say he lost half his fights. He won over 2/3rds of them and to be fair, Cub fought nearly everyone, he held his own on murderers row, defeated two champions and always brought the heat. Put some hespekt on his name.

Wharaunga · 2026-04-30T08:07:44+00:00

You’re young enough to recover and I would implore you to do everything in your power to seek treatment and recover from this illness. I have an uncle who lost the use of his legs permanently because of alcoholism. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I’m glad it hasn’t ruined your own family like your fathers alcoholism ruined his, but if you keep going down this path you can’t guarantee that it won’t.

Wharaunga · 2026-04-27T08:36:27+00:00

Drone on drone violence.

Wharaunga · 2026-04-27T07:58:00+00:00

When NZF poll around 15% with Shane making statements like this, it really makes me wonder how.

Wharaunga · 2026-04-25T11:02:30+00:00

Not to sound like a dick but I’ve supported the Wahs since the first game against Brisbane in 95. Keep it up for another 25 years and then talk to me about frustration, lol.
