Pleased he’s made the msg board - much loved here & bit of a shock as seemed to have got through cancer scare.
Just seemed a really good buggar & lot of recent coverage was from his winery & farm where has named livestock after fellow actors. Not sure if Two Paddocks will have made it to UK but nice Pinot Noir.
Great actor & blazed trail for other Kiwi’s to follow.

Wee plug for NZ who lost first test, probably our best ever batsman retired and we ended with probably our 7th/8th bowlers due to injuries to claim series.
Can be very proud of that and good to have different players stepping up when needed.
We’ve given Stokes some stick in past as would have loved him to choose NZ but huge respect for him.
Really curious what happens with McCullum - scoring at 5-6/over in test cricket is fun and no longer days of 240/4 like years gone by but…. There has to be some nuance to it or just looks bloody stupid. Would think he’s gone isn’t he? |

We had few days in UK early June before heading to Portugal & Spain and had rain and as low as 14deg - currently mid 30’s in Seville but back to London Thurs so let’s see what impact we can make |

Not sure anyone playing Argentina could remain even tempered vs Mac Allister, Fernandes, Romero & Martinez x2. Not getting caught up in any Messi narrative this time and anyone else to win please. |

Not sure it will have made press up there but Craig Bellamy just gone public with neurodegenerative disease- seeing season out but clearly a shocker. Storm always top4 but very lightweight in defence this season as are Bulldogs.
Dolphins, Tigers and maybe Knights adding fun to proceedings
Nice relaxed weekend with Warriors on a bye & no QPR. |

More mixed review from down under - some of it v good but felt like Jamie Lee Curtis was in a different show and way over cooked. Think could settle into good series though. My wife has read the books & struggled a little with the difference.
We’re nearly through Detective Hole from Jo Nesbo books - Norwegian & subtitles but think that is staying close to source material & actor playing Harry is v good.On Netflix |

After drab game will bump this thread back up as Warriors beat Melbourne after 17 game, 11 year losing streak! They’ve lost 4 in a row & Bellamy must be about to explode.
Odd week with Panthers getting done after perfect first 5 games, Cowboys doing Broncos & Raiders finding form.
Not finest betting week… |

He’s a quality player, not explosive as used to be but smart & great team player.
Been really good back at Warriors & can cover a few positions.
Interviews here suggest he’s after new experience for him/family & doubt just there for pay cheque.
Good signing |

Share the love for our fullback especially over Reece f’ing Walsh who grinds my gears.
Stacey still very much part of the club - you can’t believe how bloody small he is.
Great game & barely watch rugby anymore… |

Canberra have the Ricky Stuart issue - bit like Warnock unless he’s yours he’s ever so slightly unlikeable.
NRL is nightmare for having a bet - Storm 90pts in first 2 games then lose at home to 0-2 Broncos.
Hoping my Warriors can keep form going @ Knights minus Ponga & Brown but… |

Very pleasant surprise with that performance after getting stuffed by SA earlier in tournament.
We’re lacking in depth & missing some of bigger name players but still finding a way.
Hope another crack at you guys as should’ve won last time up & let slip.
Openers to be at least half as good in final… |

So disappointing as really thought Aussie batters could be got at. Archer going from under done in Perth to hitting form, to done vs 35yo Starc who has been sensational.
Good luck Bethell who was outstanding in NZ last year but different intensity here with 90k at MCG.
And he’ll be in within first few overs…. |

Not same quality of Slow Horses but like leads and hopefully will grow from here as second season confirmed. One character was absolute pants and out of sync with rest - he’s been great in other stuff Sherwood/Killing Eve but completely wrong tone here |

Already underway down here & Merry Xmas to all.
Just chatting with oldest in pub in London & quite lively already 😀
Going to be a stunner here in Auckland - sunny 25 degrees & will be in for swim later - note this is rare on Xmas Day here. |

Know there’s risk of another failure but how Crawley can’t benefit from pink ball practice before next test is daft - along with few others.
Expect a bloodbath with at least Cummins back |

Really poor, biggest opportunity of the series, Aussie minus 2 world class bowlers and a new opener and all done in 2 days.
Not good enough in test cricket to score at 5+ an over but only bat 30-40 overs.
Aussie will always find an innings from someone - don’t like him but great knock under pressure from Head.
Hope can be a competitive series but not holding my breath.
Let’s see how mental coaching guru Gilbert Enoka works his magic before 2nd test… |
