<p>We saw Goldie a lot as my boy plays cricket with his. Will ask about basketball, actually may not seem him until November again. But anyway, I was telling my boy who he is and I said he was a better all round sportsman that SBW. Remember in cricket he could both bat and bowl. Athetic in the field too. True all arounder.</p>

<p>In Rugby he was competing against Jonah, Cully, Umaga, Randle, Reihana, Osborne, Cashmore etc....he did so and had a fine career.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Cricket it would have been Cairns, Harris, Oram, Styris, Nash.....I could be completely wrong but I reckon ousting the likes of those guys would have been tougher despite NZs respective strength in Rugby and Cricket worldwide.......</p> -
<p>it was MN5 that bought SBW into the thread....</p>

<p>Really ? I'm sure he made all the respective age grade teams growing up and had a real future if the other two didn't get in the way.</p>

<p>Goldie's incredibly humble, so he could've just been talking himself down again. The way he downplays his rugby career, you'd think he was some scrub winger who only made Heartland level.</p> -
<p>Do Goldie and his wife have any kids? Can't remember her name, and can't be fucked looking it up, but she was a very gifted sportswoman. Probably ended her netball career too early. Looking forward to see if the genes have been passed on if they have.</p>

<p>Wing attack for Silver Ferns. Captained them for last two years including to gold medal at Comm Games in Melbourne</p>

<p>Retired due to pregnancy so yeah, the evidence that Goldie has kids is building</p> -
<p>Talent normally skips a generation so expect his kids kids to be All Blacks/Silver Ferns.</p>

<p>Yep definitely worth an investigation now. If only I knew where to start looking for clues. Where's Aucklandwarlord when you need him?</p> -

<p>Ummm, Hayne played for Fiji 7's this weekend in London, so 4 v 4 or 3 v 3</p> -
<p>At primary school, Goldie also won Otago-Southland (and South Island in long jump, I think) titles in the 100 metres, long jump, and shotput!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do recall him making a bit of a dick of himself doing an interview for a sort of "Sunday"-type current affairs show, where he said he didn't want to do any media work and just wanted to play rugby. Came across as very sulky and spoiled. He's certainly grown up from then! :)</p> -
<p>Interesting (to a boxing newbie) that some folks think Joe needs a different coach. The things most of us have listed as work on's were things you could hear Barry telling him during the fight. Keep your hands up, work the body, and something about body position when throwing shots?? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Guess the test is whether Barry can get Joe doing those things in the ring rather than just talking about them? While SH will pose a different challenge it'll be something to watch for - do we see Joe boxing differently etc...</p> -

I don't know, at least when it comes to cricket we've had plenty of father/son combos - with the sons outshining their father. Hadlee, Cairns, Harris, Braces and Latham on their way.<br><br>
Rugby might be the case Paul Williams, Anton Oliver good careers but not their dads for sure. -
<p>Back on topic, Haumono's last fight was shown on Sky Sports.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He took several rounds to finish off a fat unfit Argentinian who didn't even attempt to throw a punch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I won't be giving duco $50 to watch the farce this fight will be.</p> -

<p>will be interesting how they promote the next one and for how much, especially with the streaming issues they have had too.</p> -

<p>Anton would go down as a better AB than Frank surely ? I mean he was one of the hard men of his generation but, throwing aside, Anton was pretty decent.</p> -
<p>guess we'll see what happens to DC's young un, AB great, Black Stick....probably be a fashion designer ;)</p>

<p>Don Bradmans son changed his name by deed poll to escape the pressure. I guess averaging over 100 is quite a bit to ask for.</p>
