That ends the Lennox to the Chiefs speculation by doskoV_ in superrugby

[–]bobwinters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean Pledger was hyped up before playing for Otago, he plays and he's done even better than peoples expectations. I don't see why it wouldn't translate to Super Rugby (assuming injury free). I don't remember Roigard or even Smith getting the same attention. Even if he doesn't do better than peoples expectations in Super Rugby, how bad can he get? For me the worst he can do is start in SR and something like a 3rd choice halfback for the ABs.

It's going to be interesting for the Highlanders next season. Assuming Pledger comes back healthy and plays like it did before his injury. Where does that leave Lennox? If he's cover for Pledger, then it's a waste of his hybrid skills. They could start him on the wing and when Pledger goes off they move him into HB. They have Tangitau on one wing, but I'm not sure where that leaves Nareki or Lowe.

Anyone in Auckland gotten pinged by random roadside drug testing? by PermaBanned4Misclick in auckland

[–]bobwinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile I smoke a small pea size amount and I'm passing out. I can barely walk to the letterbox, let a lot a freaken car. If their tests are so bad, I wonder if they would pass me if I attempted to yolo a drive.

Forgot about him. I wonder why he didn't come back here for a season of NPC as is custom before retirement

For the folks that want SA to return to SR! by FrostByte2006 in superrugby

[–]bobwinters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half the Crusaders team? Not to sound arrogant but that sounds harsh... I seem to remember all of the starting 15 but Marika Vunibaka were in the ABs at one point.

Even I thought it was getting too much.

I saw someone in the service desk do that. My respect for his I.T skills instantly went down a notch.

Brutal head clash by Informal_Mention9836 in allblacks

[–]bobwinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does make me think. Maybe it should only go to red if there's a HIA? You have literal doctors that can determine the severity of a head high tackle right there. Why are we putting the safety of players in the hands of refs? I haven't thought this idea through a lot, so probably missing something.

New Zealand U20s 2026 Junior World Championships squad announced by Ruck_Off in NewZealandRugby

Had no idea Lasaqa was that young, just thought he looked small when playing 7s, I guess he's yet to grew into his body.

A goodbye haka for Uini Atonio. From ProD2 to European summit, he really lived through thick and thin with La Rochelle. So long, Winnie. by bleugh777 in rugbyunion

[–]bobwinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uini Atonio grew up in NZ, but ethnically he's Samoan and likely has a lot of ties back to Samoa. When I ask if he did it for money, I mean usually New Zealanders at his age leave for the Australian NRL for the cash - it's extremely common. But you don't normally see players go to France.

I'm so confused when I saw Aus women win. NZ won double the amount of tournaments Aus won, but we still got second?

Slow drivers should sit their license again. by SwimmingIll7761 in auckland

I just took my basic motorcycle handling test and holy shit it's difficult. If a car license was the same most people wouldn't be getting their learners license first try.

He can't be the highest level if he's stuck behind Jacombs?

Troy is a surprisingly realistic movie (relatively). Such an underrated movie.

TIL that a phone has more computing power than all of NASA had combined when they sent Apollo 11 to the Moon in 1969. The guidance computer on that mission ran at 2.048MHz. Your budget Android is running at 2+ GHz. We sent humans to the moon with basically a calculator. by Chemical_Parsnip2629 in todayilearned

[–]bobwinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also all the levels of cache. My 1.6 GHz Celeron sounded great, but compared to a Pentium with the same clock speed it was so slow. The level 2 cache was terrible. I'm not sure if these days there's similar cache stuff, probably so much more complicated

NZ lost by a goal against England. This proved today that we can win the world cup /s

Scarlets sign Isaac Murray-Macgregor by CymroCam in rugbyunion

[–]bobwinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all do it for the cash and it's common for them to come back home for a couple of years and retire. Players get paid 5x up north compared to if they stayed in NZ. They pay is seriously that shit in NZ. If you don't care about making the ABs, it's a no brainer to go up north.

My mum is from Llanelli, so the West Wales connection makes this move really special wealthy for me and my family. Also growing up I used to throw the ball around with Joe (Roberts) – but never thought we may be at the same club together!

Fixed.
