    I did like this

    In this day and age, you're a successful parent if you can raise your kid to get through those dark stages all teenagers go through and have them ready to face the world having enjoyed themselves and their sport. Then you can say you're a successful parent.

        @Machpants I thought it was an interesting perspective from an AB tough guy. Very 'new age' ... and having a boy in sport it really resonated. Focus on the fun and mateship, and if they love it, they're more ilkely to do what it takes to go to whatever level they can go to

              I did like the line you quoted tho, having my oldest boy 15 (of 4) and entering that whole time of boy>man

              I work at a primary school and my thoughts about that are as long as the kids get through to the other end liking school it's a win - cos if they turn up at secondary school hating school, you're fucked!

                I believe Olmstead's time with the Blues is up and he's moved back to Australia.

                    @Machpants Who would've thought that a squad without a centre (at Super Rugby level) would have problems at centre!

                          @Yeetyaah Gladly. Anyone one else who has suddenly played poorly for the 2019 Chiefs you don't want? We'll take TTT and DMac too.

                            It's a bit early for that I think.

                              Just a (genuine) centre will do. Although TTT would be good,

                                        These are some of the unsigned Super Rugby halfbacks for 2020:

                                        Ere Enari
                                        Bryn Hall
                                        Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi
                                        Jonathan Taumateine

                                        Not sure if Folau Fakatava hasn't been re-signed by the Highlanders.

                                        Blues have two NZ U20 trialist halfbacks in their colts team, Brad McNaughton and Taufa Funaki.

                                          Another pressing question is who is going to replace Nanai?
