mr selfdestruct · 22nd July 2008, 09:22

Weird that Telescum doesn't sponsor it anymore.

Rince · 22nd July 2008, 10:25

I'm getting "host is unreachable" from work.....

both to the url given above and virtualrugby.co.nz

oOo Dragon oOo · 22nd July 2008, 11:01

Hmm yeah not working for me anymore either. A fellow workmate tried it this morning, logged in then got script errors all over the place so maybe they are having some issues.

That said.. why isnt telecom supporting it anymore?

buckies · 22nd July 2008, 13:35

Please lock this thread down until the Tri-Nations is over.

Azza woods · 22nd July 2008, 18:10

I just signed up today, had no probs getting in

Rince · 22nd July 2008, 18:34

^^ bah! you suck, Azza!

You sure you were trying to get into the same website and not some other site?

badassmofo · 23rd July 2008, 11:52

I wish it was only Division one. As soon as the heartland cup (?) starts up, I can't be bothered.

Agreed. I cursed out loud when I saw it was Heartland AGAIN!

Ab · 27th July 2008, 17:35

Three wins on the trot for the mighty Steamers, be afraid bitches!

Rince · 29th July 2008, 22:02

I finally signed in and I see it had my old NZGames group from last time - plus a bunch of you fellas pre-loaded

so what group we going to use? Dragon did you create a group? What's it called?

oh yeah, Ab? Welly beat Cantab last week - won't mean shit when it counts though

oOo Dragon oOo · 30th July 2008, 08:06

I created a group, then saw the NZGames one and deleted mine. I say. stick with the tried and true NZGames

Are you from the Bay as well Ab???

We got Zar Lawrence and Nigel Hunt, we're UNSTOPPABLE!

Ab · 30th July 2008, 18:37

Pffft selfy, as if you need to ask. Born in Tauranga, spent almost all my spare time in Rotorua as a kid. Wizzards on Fenton St between Amohau and Eruera was my second home. My default beer-drinking vessel here at the House of Ab in Oz is a Waikite rugby club handle.

Ob_steamersfan: I was in the stands at Rugby Park for the 1982 Bay win over the Wallabies.

mr selfdestruct · 31st July 2008, 10:20

omfg! Surely this was mentioned when i first met you at CB/Necro's place in Wellington all those nears ago? I must have been in too much of a drug induced daze in my youth to remember now! That's awesome :P

STEAMERS!!

I went and watched the Bay beat Waikato at Waikato Stadium for the pre-season match last week and MATE, Nigel Hunt was absolutely incredible setting up half the team to score a try. He's like a nonu looking number 12 but with way more brains and way more skill, everyone better watch out for us this year!

mr selfdestruct · 1st August 2008, 16:10

The Bay was FUCKING awesome. Balls to anyone that said Tasman had a better attack, I think the only significant amount of time Tasman occupied the Bay's 22 was in their movement where they scored. The Bay spent a ton of time in the Tasman 22 and unfortunately kicked away posession in frustration a few times, all credit to Tasmans super defense.

Put $20 on multi:
Bay to Win and Northland +9.5 point start returned me $110

Gotta share this one with you guys. I can't believe it.

Canterbury vs Manawatu
It's going to be ATROCIOUS conditions, tricky for any team to score lots of tries no matter how good they are but get this. the Watu aren't actually that bad, Matty James is a very competent five eighth and Tomasi Cama was arguably the nuts and bolts of the NZ 7's victories. It won't be a walk over that's for sure. To top it off, Canterbury are without ALL there All Blacks AND without Cory Flynn, Casey Laulala, Sean Maitland, Ti'i Paulo, Isaac Ross and Michael Paterson! What an injury list!

Here is the kicker. TAB has Manawatu with a 29 POINT point start! That means that if you bet on that point start, Manawatu can win, draw or lose by up to 29 points and you'll still get your money, THAT IS MENTAL.

Go everyone, put your houses, life savings etc on this punt and thank me on Monday.

kthxbye!

fobski · 3rd August 2008, 00:03

i knew i should have bet on your tip Mr SD

fucking manawatu won O_o

mr selfdestruct · 3rd August 2008, 02:26

I told you the TAB went MENTAL!

SO STOKED!!

$30 on
Multi:
Harbour +8.5
Wellington H2h
Manawatu +28.5

$130

WOOT WOOT!

Almost got a clean sweep. Had one other Multi:
Otago Half and Full Time
Warriors H2H

Otago won in the final minute
Warriors SHOULD have won in final minute if Price didn't cough it up.

$250 profit for the weekend though not bad.

Was still hoping Canterbury would scrape home for the win though since I think I'm the only person on Virtual Rugby that picked them 12- :P

Bay, Taranaki, Wellington and Otago for me, Auckland should romp home tomorrow which should make it 5/7 which should be above average me thinks. Looks like a LOT of people still don't have any points due to picking Waikato, Tasman, Southland, Hawkes Bay and Canterbury :P

Ajax · 3rd August 2008, 16:35

Selfy, I'm going to be paying close attention to your tips in the future

mr selfdestruct · 4th August 2008, 15:53

Hah cheers :P

mr selfdestruct · 10th August 2008, 02:24

Canterbury -3.5 Point Start
Bay of Plenty Head to Head
Hawkes Bay 12-
$10 = $90

It was touch and go with Hawkes Bay having scored with 8 to go extending their lead to 19 points but Northland hit back and scored stayed at exactly Hawkes Bay by 12.

Can't believe the one I was stressing about was Bay of Plenty when they won by 40+! Counties showed us what we loved them for in their winless season last year and proved beating Auckland last week was just a blip on the radar. Decided to put $10 on a try scorer, Nigel Hunt, since he's such a legend. Wasn't a bad punt considering BOP scored SIX tries, unfortunately most set up by Hunt but not scored by him.

IT'S GOOD TO BE A BAY SUPPORTER, 2ND ON THE TABLE BITCHES!!!

mr selfdestruct · 18th August 2008, 14:19

Victor Vito to Score a Try
$15 = Return of $45

1st Try Vainakolo
$5 = Return $55

Lost 3 Multi's, damn you Hawkes Bay and damn you Taranaki!! *shakes fist*

Got carved up in Virtual, however now that the first draw of the season is out of the way it should make for some easy points as heaps of chumps will pick draws now.

Rince · 21st August 2008, 22:44

21:45 and I suddenly realise I should have done my picks....
ahhh fuck it!
let's see if random picks does it better than I could

mr selfdestruct · 22nd August 2008, 09:20

All Home Teams 13+ Rince, good luck with that one. Tasman 13+, Taranaki 13+, Counties 13+, Southland 13+, you're toast this week mate

Rince · 22nd August 2008, 14:59

probably still no worse than I could deo myself... I'm ranked 80,000 out of 87,000 after last week

Well gee I hate to tell you Wug but you might have been best to wait until Sunday on that call because Bay of Plenty are going to smash those flat track bullies on Saturday :P
