Season 29 NZI Banter

14 Teams registered so far

Probably the only trophy I will win this season!!

Oh Chewy, I have three for trophies for you: the bledisloe, the freedom cup, the 3N.... ah and I forgot the North vs South challenge. I am in the same side for all of them, do not tell me you plan to lose them all...

Thanks for the reminder

64 Teams signed up for next season so far

Can we put a line in the sand for a closing date for sign ups? Need to give people at least a week to accept that first fixture. May I suggest start of R16 with tiers and fixtures to be sorted asap? Or R15 if you need more time?

Every time we get signups in sets of 8 (for a complete Tier) I re-run the sorting algorithm. End of R15 will be the deadline for signups

Woo! Vaikona Cup has been secured for the Direwolf Straits with a game in hand.

I missed the memo? No playoffs?

Yeah, no playoffs.

Testing the limits of my own stupidity today against Otago. It is me vs my backline configurator. It is my BR lore vs my java programming skills.

I foresee a humbling loss

I thought I had the Gair Shield secured several rounds ago, but now it's down to the last game. With me failing to secure a bonus point today, I need one more point.

I have a fairly difficult game next round, away vs. Macandrew Bay Thirds. If I get thrashed, the Buccaneer's can sail past me if they grab a fiver at home against Bay Sharks.

Exciting!!

I cannot believe it. I conceded a try in the 80:00 minute to lose the game.

Bye Bye Molia Cup.


PS: In the fight between my rugby guts and my java coding skills, the clear winner is the rugby guts.
When I trust my guts, I win 50-24
When I trust my java coded program I lose 29-26
Why I am still working as a java developer is a mystery. I don't know why my employer is not firing me straight away.

One point loss to pantherus's high diamonds, so close but a well deserved win after his dominance this season

I put the icing on the cake of my nzi campaign by putting 50 on rhymes with orange, despite the fact that he had hga, higher csr, and a big advantage in the pre-game stars

That was a fine effort, @simon71

Just hoping I get that kind of luck tonight

Round 13 updated!

THE DIREWOLF STRAITS HAVE CLINCHED THE VAIKONA CUP
Interesting last match in the Kember Shield: The Te Puke Thunder have a shot at grabbing the title away from the Mean Team. They just need to beat them with a bonus point, and win by at least 33 points.
The pressure is on the Belfast Cobras to grab a win in the final round to secure themselves the Cottier Shield. If they don't, the High Diamonds could sneak through.
Same deal with Auckland Katipos, pressure is on them to win their final game and keep the Buccaneers at bay.
The Levin Vipers have clinched the Molia Bowl
Kibworth RFC have clinched the Heartland Comp
The Bay of Plenty Bulldogs have clinched the ECC

Cheers for the match Gimping!

Disappointing loss to hooker02's St. Oak Stabbers despite HGA and a significant CSR advantage

I can still win it for you.

On a side note I think all 5 of my losses have been by 7 or less. Such a close comp

I can't believe that just happened. After leading my tier all season, i lose the Gair Shield in the last round.

IT'S EXACTLY LIKE THE PLOT OF D2: THE MIGHTY DUCKS.

What a way to finish the NZI. After giving myself a chance to fight for the Molia... two losses in a row, mostly my fault

Not good enough...

Disappointing end to the NZI for many of us...
