Lightning Blue Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Thanks PJ . Looks like the Chiefs are back in action. (narrow loss to the Crusaders i see there in Nz) Captain Jack will be saying that 'LB' is for 'Lead-Bag' in the team 😉. But we came out of the blocks hard last season, to lead for a big chunk before being swamped late (when the extra weight told) 😆 Maybe the Chiefs will hang on this time round ? count me in .......🏇🏆 Edited July 5, 2023 by Lightning Blue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 So only Antz, Tonka & Howie in the pool and one more player needed. Where's MC ? Where's Rex ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bulk email to all members, 2 days ago. I think Howie indicated Ferdies and Ian wants Antz for the Magpies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonka and Howie are new Highlanders' signings. Just leaves us one player short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 PLEASE NOTE I will run a poll once the teams are finalized as to whether you want a closed selection thread as we have had for the past couple of years or go to a permanently open selection thread. Slight change. I said earlier that the posting thread will be open permanently but there will be a restriction of at least 6 different picks (of 20) for those who post after their opponent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Show Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 There are four in the Chiefs and four in the Highlanders, or is there someone additional to Rex that hasn't been given a team yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine trotting man (and gallops man) Double R Robert is still in the Chiefs . (he indicated earlier) PJ has missed putting his name here today tiz all. the Chiefs are on the warpath and there no 'John Wayne's around to stop progress (hopefully) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Hesi will no doubt put up a market, but I am picking with the inclusion of BC in our team that we might be fairly short. 3-1 on ??.🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 A bit worried about those Magpies, especially with Antz in there. Anyone got a shotgun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Perhaps some other old lag could do a market/comment this time. Last time I did it, we won, which was awfully embarrassing(NOT lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I did it, we won, which was awfully embarrassing(NOT lol) Well that's not that hard. although haven't been in prison (yet lol.) Kauri kats , Max has taken the ladies (and Graeme) to victory previously and the defending champs are going PURRfectly for a defense of their NPC title = 3 - 1 fav Turbo's , sure to be 'Turbo'-charged by Capt Maizy for a big performance. With Ziggy in there , they will be Zigging and Zagging and giving a great sight = 4 - 1 Swamp Foxes , will be 'out-foxing' many an opponent and sure to be on the pace for a big chunk of the race..... But will they be 'Swamped' late ? = 5 - 1 Highlanders , will be taking the high road , the low road and any road they can find in a bid for victory. If Captain Craig takes ' Road to Nowhere ' by talking heads on his music channel , this could effect their finishing performance = 6 - 1 Blues , the Blues Brothers could be singing the Blues , when the pace goes on in the comp. As Dan Akroyd the most famous Blues brother said "we're on a mission from god" . Devine intervention might be needed for the Blues here too = 7 - 1 Chiefs , when you get too many Chiefs and not enough Indians , the work load could lead to the broth being spoiled . or is that cooks ? lol. could cook up a win or 2 and get their drums beating. = 8 - 1 Ferdies, seems a Ferdie is a 'Bold Voyager' so the Ferdies might put in a bold bid for victory , but ultimately might have covered to much ground on their 'trip' and come up with travel fatigue. = 9 - 1 Magpies, looks like they ran back in the field last season so not a lot of form on the board. anyone with any connection to Collingwood possibly not thinking clearly either. seems to be the rank outsider = 20 - 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
