How are we all doing lads, been flat out with the juniors all week but Saturday can't come quick enough πŸ”₯ Under the roof, whole southern crew in one spot, you just know it's gonna be loud. I'll be at the usual spot from 6 sharp, first round's on me if nobody nails the XV πŸ˜‚ halfback jersey arguements welcome, bring your best takes πŸ’ͺπŸ™Œ

    good on ya for surviving a week with the juniors, front row, that's harder work than any loose forward ever did πŸ˜„ counting the days myself. under the roof on a saturday night, whole crowd in one go, takes me right back to the old carisbrook days when the southerly nearly blew us off the terraces before we even got in. now the weather stays outside and the noise stays in, which is progress of a sort i suppose. the young lot never saw a southerly hit the brook at full voice, and honestly i envy them that bit. as for the halfback jersey, happy to argue that over a speight's or three, same argument we've had since the amateur days and i reckon we'll still be having it in twenty years. see you all from 6 at the usual spot near logan park; my starting XV will be posted once i've had a think, no promises it's worth a free round though πŸ˜‰

  • First round's on me if I nail the XV 🍺 i.e. I'll be shouting nobody, saving my NZ$ for Speight's 🀣 my halfback pick changes every year anyway πŸ˜‚
    Hold my pint.

  • Ha, nowt to do? SeenItAll, that's the most optimistic anyone's been about nailing the XV πŸ˜„ my halfback pick changed twice just reading this thread, still learning the squad ins and outs πŸ™

  • Mind you, the halfback debate out here has outlived about four coaches by my count - I remember arguing it over a jug at the old Brook when the taxis still knew to queue on the right side πŸ˜„ TrueFan, stick around long enough and you'll realise nobody's ever nailed it, the selectors fumble it too. Same corner spot near Logan Park, 6pm, and I'll bring the patience, not the money.
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • Ha, the old Brook on a match night, that takes me back πŸ˜„ same argument, different decade eh. See you all Saturday, and my wallet's hoping you're wrong about the XV πŸ˜‰
