That name is enough to flush one NZ lurker out. His heinious deeds are
too many to list and irrelevant to NH ROFFians. Hang, draw and
quartering should be brought back for special cases.
By the way Stephen it is rugby union not rugby league (that's like a
calling a Kiwi and Aussie) and it is largely confined to south
Auckland.
Having got that off my chest I can hear a trout calling me so I must
pick up my 5wt, some hare 'n' coppers and stroll down to the local
river.

TWEEEET! Foul! Stirring the pot and then lighting out to go fishing!
Penalty kick, OZ!

30-Love.

Play ball!

I thought it was a hoot. The characters were accurate stereotypes of
people that show dogs. Someone behind the movie was involved in the dog
show game as well as being a fly fishermen. The dog show aspects as well
as the fly fishing parts were well done.

One of my favorite scenes in the movie was when Harlan Pepper was
explaining about using a parachute adams with a small PT nymph as
dropper to the two yuppies who didn't have clue what he was talking
about. It was brilliant.

Actually to some of the SH ones too ... :-) I'm no student of the
code (being a Vic. Aussie rules), but with what little knowledge I
do have, WTH wasn't Andrew Mehrtens (sp?) on deck?

Gulp! I hope the league/union confusion is not a "special case".
As I said ... I don't really follow either code ... I have to
agree though the codes are like chalk and cheese once the whistle
is blat. However, I reckon union offers the potential for much more
mayhem than league - I like that.

A much better pastime ... how'd ya go?

Not only Mehrtens but Mitchell dumped Cullen, Oliver and Randell as
well. The four have played 220 test matches between them and he then
blames the loss to Oz in the semifinals on immaturity when he had got
rid of the mature (experienced) players. The better team cleaned us up
fair and square.

I know nothing of the sublities of Aussie rules but it sure looks fun
to play. After playing rugby union for 35 yrs I had to retire as I
couldn't get out of bed on Sunday mornings and it wasn't due to the
Saturday night post match festivities.

No good at all. Heavy rain up in the hills meant the local river was
running high and dirty enough to plough and plant spuds in. Come the
New Year however, I'm off to the sunny Mahia peninsular (east coast of
the NI) to do a bit of sal****er fishing, catch up with old friends,
drink more then I should and tell many lies.

I hope that Xmas and New Year treat you and yours well and that you
enjoy the holiday season. Likewise to all ROFFians

I didn't realise the extent of the culling, we mostly heard about
Mehrtens (I must say there was some relief when he was omitted)

It was that ... though over officiated these days ...

35 years!! Very well done ... bloody hell... you must have racked up
400+ plus games? No flamin' wonder you were a bit creaky ...

Ah well, you never can trust trout calls ;-)

Come the new Year its off to Tassie to do similar things in the
Central Highlands ... no surfing though.

Same to you Jim, get into those Snapper and Kingies,
perhaps we'll see you hereabouts again soon,
