Winging in on a winger

Horrors for the Hurricanes.

They are losing at least a couple of important players for the 2025 Super Pacific Rugby comp but whilst the locking department is going to be taken care of with a couple of exciting young newcomers of substantial build, losing the young super promising Josh Moorby on the wing who is also a more than adequate fullback filler, is a big loss.

A consideration for the All Blacks, Moorby would you believe it, is chasing the big bucks in France.

But it leaves the Hurricanes shy of a real top notch wing. The Hurricanes who will immediately next season be among the favourites to win the SPR, will need to entice a quality, proven speed merchant winger from somewhere.

Of the other wings in the Hurricanes fold in 2023 apart from Salesi Rayasi none are up to a high standard and these include Kini Naholo, Ngane Punivai and Bailyn Sullivan. Dan Sinkinson did show some promise this year and I was surprised he didn't get more chances to show his abilities.
Hurricanes cannot afford to mess around. Just like this year they will need to come out guns blazing first match up in 2025 and with at least two speedy multi skilled wings.

REWARD AND NO REWARD

The recipients also reap promotion and publicity for their particular charitable etc work. wanted or not. The other gives nothing but a spot on television and perhaps assitance of publicity and promotion.

In many programmes I have watched of the latter the difference between the money winners and the no-money winners is blurred beyond reason. I sit there thinking why didn't that person feature on the other programme and receive a sponsored cash reward?

And there is no cross over ie once you have been on one programme you are not going to be on the other at any latter stage.

Shame on TV One.

Concrete Waste

Kia ora Neighbours!

Bit of a random one, but I had a few large chunks of concrete to get rid of (stashed behind the shed of previous tenant or owner) and I'm wanting to do it sustainably if possible. It was presumably a path/walkway as its about 2 inches deep and square metre give or take. When we put in new drainage there will likely be some more tucked away and wanting removed

The worst case scenario is the tip - bad for planet and wallet

Is there somewhere out there I can recycle or repurpose it? I'm thinking Expol polystyrene-type collection or even someone with a jack hammer that wants to shrink it down to smaller chunks and use for infill or building up a stopbank?

Open to ideas and happy to drop off if within reasonable distance from Upper Hutt

MOA NO MORE

Michael from Trentham

Maori hunted the Moa into oblivion.
There were at keast several types of Moa some giant size towering well above humans - more than twice the he8ight, other Moa were not much bigger than Kiwi.
What I cannot understand why there seems no record of Maori keeping a Moa or two as pets.

Moa were quite harmless flightless birds..

I see other races in other parts of the world had .made pets from otherwise otherwise lethal animals from crocodiles to elephants from snakes to lions from eagles to emus.

Perhaps we would have moa still with us today if Maori who had dogs as pets, had looked to tame some moa.

One watches in horror as the democracy of the USA is all to quickly dismantling. The Supreme Court is the latest in a long line-up to go really rogue. After years of being tampered with politically.

Of course would-be dictator, corrupt and criminal villain Trump and Trumpism has opened up a festering wound that is probably too deep now to successfully patch up.

NZ has not got the American system of democracy thank goodness and has often been internationally ranked first or in the top three as the world's most democratic and least corrupt country in the world.
But there is cuttings at the edges of our democracy not the least displayed by the current Government. Examples are breaking election-gaining promises and even in the one they kept - tax cuts - by borrowing more than the defeated Labour-Green Govt has to cement in the financial shortfall of the tax reduction, and by going further in cutting out thousands of jobs in the public sector which also impacts on the private sector.
