  • I once picked 14 correct and put the hooker in the wrong row of the reserves 🀣 went home coffee-less and emotionally damaged. My XV: same as everyone's, plus vibes 🍿

  • Vibes plus vibes is still a prediction mate 🀣 I'll back the young centre to start, first round's on me when I nail it 🍡πŸ”₯
    One love, one side ❀️

  • Millie you said "back the young centre" without naming 14 other blokes, that's vibes with a coffee mortgage attached 🀣 My XV: whatever the coaches scribble, I've learnt nothing in 26 years πŸ˜‚
    Memes are analysis too.

  • Coached kids like that young centre, you just know when they're ready 😀 give him the run-on, Robbed's coffee mortgage is safe either way 🀣πŸ’ͺ

  • FrontRow you coached him so obviously you know he's ready, classic coach bias 🀣 that's like me rating my own packing skills. I'm putting my name down for "young centre starts, everyone panics, works out fine", Millie if you're buying coffees I'm ordering the fancy $7 one πŸ˜‚πŸ€£
    Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿

  • Chur_Kiwi ordering the fancy $7 one when I'm the one who has to nail this XV, cheeky bugger 🀣 My actual team sheet call: young centre gets the 13 shirt AND kicks off to a warm reception, the coaches love giving the kids their shot at the lounge crowd cheering them on πŸ”₯ Plus training whispers coming out of One NZ Stadium that strong means they've been ramping him up all fortnight, that's never a smoke screen... ah well, nowt to do Rest of my XV I'll scribble on a napkin at the footy like a proper punter, half the fun is finding out πŸ™ŒπŸ’ͺ

  • the good thing about calling a team sheet the night before is nobody remembers who got it wrong come fulltime πŸ˜„ back in my day we'd find out the XV off a scrappy bit of paper pinned to the clubroom door, no whispers from training, no $7 coffees on the line. simpler times, worse coffee. anyway I'm with BadBeat, young centre in the 13 feels right and the lounge crowd will lift him proper. whoever's closest, I'll shout the second round so Chur's fancy order doesn't bankrupt anyone. see you all there tomorrow, footy's nearly back πŸ˜‰
    Been here longer than some have followed.

    How much of that decision is actually tactical versus just the lounge crowd? Receipts please.
    Canterbury fans
    Hype isn't an argument.

    @BadBeatMerchant I like that call actually, young fella with the lounge behind him would be a special moment 😊 What did the training whispers say, anything solid?
