How Was Your Day?

[SOCCERROO FOX]

My favourite AFL player retired today, lifes not worth living

[Finnegan]

The guy in your av?

[Fox in the North]

About to graduate today, exciting stuff!!

[Webbo]

Coming home tonight, chucked out of the hotel at 12, don't fly until 11,30. It's gonna be a long day.

[SOCCERROO FOX]

The guy in your av?

Nope they are good mates, he retired a couple of seasons ago.

[Finnegan]

What's the bloke in your av called? I forgot.

Do you ever go watch Rebels? Were much improved this year, not surprised Woodward is going back to NZ.

Was hoping he'd replace Anscombe at the Chiefs but he'll be a good fit at Hurricanes.

I went to 1 it's hard to find people to go with as Melbourne isn't a rugby town, they kept getting in to win able positions but not winning. But they went with a young side instead of the names so they lost Phipps, Beale and JOC. There is some young talent there, Hegarty, English and Kingston.

Woodward had to go back to NZ or he wouldn't be able to get picked for the All Blacks.

Think the Tahs might win it this year, when you have Phipps, folau, Skelton, Hooper, Beale, Ashley Cooper you are going to be strong. Issue is there line out has been putrid all season and the better teams will exploit that.

[Finnegan]

If Tahs don't win it I'll be absolutely amazed. They've bossed all season, Izzy has been electric.

You seen the Honey Badger is off to Japan? That puts him out of Wallabies selection right?

Still remember mine last year. Just pray it is not a hot day and try not to trip on the stage.

There was an awkward moment in the reception afterwards when a lecturer came to congratulate me and asked me what I am doing nexy but my dad proceeded to inform him that I will be not pursuing a career in IT and in social work instead and that I have already secured a work placement. His face and my face was a picture.

Good luck though!

Yep Wallabies and All Blacks have rules that state you must play for one of your countries super 15 franchises.

Poor Badge he was a cult figure but he went for the coin as his dad has cancer and he is the sole carer for the badgers 2 younger siblings that have cystic fibrosis.

[Finnegan]

Whilst I sympathise, surely a super rugby star and leading wallaby earns enough to cover medical fees?

I know rugby players aren't the highest paid pro sportsmen but he can't be on peanuts either.

I don't get how the Japanese consistently find the money to poach super rugby stars, tbh. The game is tiny over there, it can't be commercially viable.

[SOCCERROO FOX]

No idea he would of been on decent money maybe $250k plus but it was noted as a significant increase, reported to be double.

[Finnegan]

Oh yeah it always is.

Every year a couple of SR players go over. Latimer and Whitelock going with Badge this year. Lelia Masaga went over end of last year, Mils Muliaina has just got back, they all do like a two year stint.

All backed by big Japanese companies. Just don't get how it's viable for them as rugby is really minority over there. Unless they're doing it deliberately at a loss to promote the game.

What the hell are you talking about? Speak English man.

[Happy Fox]

Anyone know what a functional skills test is?

[Finnegan]

It's sickening how few people have an interest in super rugby. Literally one of the most exciting sports leagues in the world.

Some kind of foreign thing is it? If it was a proper sport they wouldnt need to put the word "Super" in front of it to make it sound better. You dont hear about Super Football or Super F1 do you. Super indeed. Pfff.

I am off to Greece tomorrow.

Yep, it's a question paper designed to test knowledge around market values of business assets based on a variety of variables.

Don't worry, you should be fine.

Apologies - just realised you are happy fox not king fox.

They're Aussies, they can't help being a little tacky. It's in their nature.

I know, I married one to save her from Aussie men.

[Finnegan]

So... Your kids are Aussies?

[Merging Cultures]

Not bad. Left my home office to sit in a cafe and work. Got quite a bit done so far and consumed quite a bit of wine

[Jon the Hat]

So... Your kids are Aussies?

Shhhhh. Only half Aussie. And really they are only 3rd generation so they are british with the right to have a Aussie passport.

[Rincewind]

Thanks Moose

Think of it as money well spent.

[Soar Fox]

Enjoy it ken. I've just had a steak, chips and peppercorn sauce, now just laying on the sofa relaxing for the rest of the week until I go on a 2 week holiday on Sunday in a 5 star hotel.
