Hang out in Devonport on a Friday eve and observe Shore youth kulcha.

The epidemic of unofficial New Zealand rugby websites.

MacDaddy's thought for the day #5:

Rattue with more incisive journalism in the New Zealand Herald. In one of his 'humour' pieces he writes, "Has the Ranfurly Shield turned North Harbour into a rugby colossus like they said it would?"

Who the fuck are 'they'? I didn't hear anyone on the Shore say that. This guy's fucking pants.

MacDaddy's thought for the day #4:

Further evidence that Polly reads harbourrugby.com:

Pollock has plenty of time for 24-year-old Pisi, but because he's not the most prolific goalkicker, believes he suffers from the misconception that a No 10 must be a quality kicker.

"I really rate Tusi, but too many people just judge a first-five on his goalkicking. We have this hangup that first-fives are normally goalkickers."

-David Leggat story, New Zealand Herald, Wednesday

Perhaps people have that 'hang-up' because Polly uses Pisi as a kicker whenever Luke's unavailable. Don't use him as a kicker and we won't fukn judge him as one.

MacDaddy's thought for the day #3:

Following extensive analysis of the Shield match (and excessive, associated moments of self-love), roving reporter MacDaddy, super-sleuth and lip-reader extraordinaire, believes that Rua's exact words at this moment were: "That's for you, mate." According to MacDaddy, hug-recipient Spy Kelly, who has suffered as much as any of us over the years (but probably moreso because he's seen it from up close as gear man) replied, "About fucking time, too." Although this may have been MacDaddy's own prejudices tampering with reality. Maximum respect, skipper. Watch out for the next MacDaddy column: the inside word on the origins of various Division One sides' jerseys. The results may surprise you.

MacDaddy's thought for the day #2:

Mr C. Rattue in the Herald reckons that seeing the Shield come north might be good for the Cantabs in the Super 12. As if winning the Log isn't reward enough in itself, he reckons it might mean continued misery for the Blues. Talk about cherries on the fckin' cake! We only hope he's right.

MacDaddy's thought for the day #1:

What with the parade and all, will there be a special 'do' for Helensville? Will it get out to Massey at some point? (These places are as much a part of our union as Hurstmere Road.) And if it does, will all that silver shit on it go missing?
