What did the Kiwis (Rugby League) team get for winning the World Cup again?

I heard that mentioned on radio yesterday but they don't really qualify for the Halbergs in the sense that they aren't representing New Zealand. Forget the "New Zealand" in the name, that's obviously for marketing purposes like the NZ Warriors. But we have a New Zealand basketball team already called…

Think a lot of people were excited, but there was that blessed wedding to contend with. Had watched a few games early on and followed them into the finals series, and it seemed they were able to turn it on when it mattered. The game last week and the first…

Well this thread didn't exactly capture the imagination!

Congratulations Breakers. A totally deserved win. They ended up with a 26 win, 8 loss record on the season which is pretty remarkable in a competition with a salary cap. I probably shouldn't mention those words since the ANBL is doing an…

Yep. If they go out there determined from the get go to win every rebound, nail every pass, pressure the Taipans and are at the very least average with their shooting they should win it by a reasonably comfortable margin.

It'll be won between the ears somewhat. The Taipans are…

So many questions, so few fingernails.

Sure was a tense one. I really think the Breakers are the better team, and the NZ crowd should carry it, but I hope like hell they turn up a bit earlier next week. Leaving it to miracle shots with 6 seconds to go…

WOW!

There were 5 3-pointers in that game that were crazy. Bruton's to get it into overtime with 3 seconds left. Braswell's 2 that gave them the lead and then a 4 point cushion with 12 seconds left, then the 2 by the Taipans to send it into 2nd overtime…

Hadyn, are you still doing the "if I watch this, they'll lose" thing?

It was actually a pretty good World Cup, I and others were surprised to find how into it we got as it went along.

It needed 2 games a day instead of the usual 1 but aside from that it was quite intriguing and the crowds were terrific.

The Breakers…

The cricket world cup? ;)
Did that finally end did it? Cricket might be the only sport where I become less interested in a World Cup year.

I feel ashamed that I have let such an interesting and frankly amazing sporting contest go by without mention.

The cricket world cup? ;)

But yeah, go the Breakers.

God I loved 90’s basketball, possibly because I was a teenager at the time. Doesn’t seem to hold the same sway now. There was Shaq, Shawn ‘the rainman’ Kemp, Stockton and Malone, Pippen, Jordan, Ewing, Hakeem the Dream… I could go on. Good times.

Loving the Breakers as well
