    As annoying as this is I did say at the start of the year that we're probably a season away from being fully competitive.

      I have taken the unprecedented defensive precaution of hiding all the sharp knives well away from getting easy access to them and placed a solid defensive screen in front of the television to prevent any heavy object striking the TV in the almost certain likelihood that something is going to be hiffed in that direction if the tackling continues to be as piss poor as what we have had to suffer so far.

        This morning's Dominion Post is quoting Hawke's Bay @ $1.62 and Northland @ $2.20 (obviously as at yesterday when the article was wtritten).

        If HB is currently @ $1.95 then that would suggest someone has put a HUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEE bet on Northland.

        The Bay now paying $2.05 and Northland at $1.77. This has the hint of money coming in from Calcutta. At least we can now legitimately claim the underdog status.
        My flag has mysteriously turned up, albeit it with the pole no longer with it, but my Sin Bin HB Rugby Supporters Club jersey has now gone walkabout. The beanie and scarf are still waiting to be discovered! No.1 suspect has booked themselves in for my Sunday Roast after the Argies game and before the Canterbury match. Might just find himself denied dessert until said items can be located. No wonder things are not going good on the field when one of the most one eyed fans cannot dress themselves in suitable attire.

        Come to think of it I can't find my 1980's knitted black and white scarf that I've worn to every Magpies game (in winter).

          Both you and me then missing vital equipment, no wonder out team is playing like a team in full mourning for the loss of such historically important memorabilia.

            And I haven't unpacked my lucky undies since my move back to the Bay a couple of weeks ago (also from the 80's)

                I have a pair of those HB Draught undies from way beck when. Brand new with tags if I were to advertise them on TradeMe. Never been worn but I suspect there would be some sort of deposit made in them had I taken their virginity tonight and worn them given the crap we had had to suffer so far.

                        Mine are a couple of sizes too big, or at least for my overall chassis size they are, some parts of the body might still need an XL if it was just that being measure up!

                            Wouldn't it be nice if we can use the next ten minutes resetting this scrum.

                              This game looks like one that Canterbury Bankstown and the Gold Coast would put on during their Mad Monday piss up

                                  Thank Christ that is over. I would rate it about as satisfying as eating a plate of lumpy porridge that has been sitting on the bench for about a week and is showing a good coverage of mould. Come to think of it, it could be worse, we might have lost.

                                      Don't bother with the tackle training. Put out the B team against Canterbury

                                        This the weirdest game of the Mitre 10 Cup season thus far.

                                          First half: 24 - 38
                                          Second half: 31 - 3

                                          96 points, insane.
