I’m a fan of Tate but he’s had barely any game time this season and some of those box kicks tonight were…anyway.

Lonergan is solid but I don’t see him winning us a Bled. I don’t think we’ve ever seen him play big pressure minutes.

I like Gordon but he’s injured pretty bad, right? Same with that good Force guy???

I honestly think Kalani Thomas is worth a “bring him on at 60 minutes” first game of these northern hemisphere things.

I am also an idiot. What do you guys reckon?

Remember that random ahh upset in Waikato a few years back? They just need to do that again.

Has to be a strong start. Must score first. Also have to get the wingers involved early.

Defence will be an issue in the first half but if they can somehow shut Dmac down (which good teams can) tupia and the rest of them will go hungry. It will be won up front. Need to see mcreight and co go absolutely bananas tonight.

If they need a little extra motivation, I’ll make an undertaking right now to do something painful to my body (up to the commenters) if they lose. Hope you’re reading this lads.

Anyway, get out there and get stuck in you mongrels.

Bit or a weird question but I’m curious about this.

I once had a teacher who said he hated it and I totally get why (e.g. not of the era of true classic standards, very show-tuney, more of a pretend jazz standard than a real one). And so I’m not surprised that I have personally never heard it live with the single exception of at a James Morrison concert at the Sydney Opera House years ago.

BUT, it came on just now and I have to admit I do kind of dig the changes. Sue me. I particularly like how it shifts into that sort of earnest, bluesy bit in the penultimate measures. I can see a decent player swinging hard on it and I believe it is in the real book right?

So, have you ever called it, and also, how did it fly?

I know because I was as one of the animals but escaped
