Dunedin players in the stampede just didnt work for the reason of travel, ie Dunedin had to travel to Queenstown and 6.5 hrs of travel for practice just aint practical. My opinion is when Dunedins kids (our peewees have been dominating for the last couple of years) come through is when we will see real consistancy at the top. It was never going to happen in the first 4 years unless there is rigourous recruiting done to bring in players from outside the area which requires incentives. Thunder has introduced a whole crop of players to a new level of competition otherwise unavailable and is helping to raise standards all round  To drop the thunder after the first two years would be very shortsighted

though its hard to find a flaw in that logic I say Devils to win. Young, experienced better skills and more depth

Grin and chuckle under breath.
Man, your’e so  09!

Schooners if in Aussie

A boat race. thats novel, what type of boats…..? I hope everyone wears lifejackets

I didnt see to much going on there that doesnt normally go on. Thunder were outplayed by a better skilled team though there juniors were comparable to ours I thought. The score was pretty much as most people thought it would go  though I thought Stefan might have been on P cause he was as aggro as I have ever seen
Chris I dont think a cage fight between you and a 7 year old would get universal approval somehow but im sure if you set it up there would be a minority segment keen to watch
