Talk like this just makes me feel all warm inside. I'd love to see the egg chasers sweat on it.

Now the 12:00 news on Radio Sport today had soundbites from Ernie
Merrick about the Phoenix. Not sure if that means there was
an interview with him at some point or what.

from memory that's pretty much what he said on morning report
- -so i guess newstalk got it from there - I don't think he was
trying to stir things up (I'd rather we tried to put a lid on
expectations and take 'rugby' by surpise) he was just responding to
a question from Geoff Robinson
April Lose just had Pignata on Radio Sport and was his typical
"know all" self.
Obviously he know nothing about football and basically spent
the whole time continually prodding Pignata - "Soccer can
take over rugby. Are you serious?"
Twat
I never heard the discussion, just the aftermath. Sitting on
the Hutt Road swearing at the radio...

Now you know how i feel lol
I suspect the media more interested in stirring this up than Pignata. Pignata would be silly to pick his own fight - bc sports media will just use as an excuse to bash the Phoenix if things dont go well on the pitch.
Of course, we wll know that rugby will be relegated to a
provincial novelty within a decade.
Pignata was quite right that rugby coaches need to start worrying.
Whoever was interviewing him was an actual pillock, picking holes
in what he said and trying to make it sound laughable.

It might take a wee bit longer than that!, but if i eat
sensibly and go easy on the booze, i might just live long enough to
see it,
or i could just carry on getting fatter and
just enjoy the early decades of football's inevitable rise
and
just enjoy the early decades of football's inevitable riseeither way - Pheonix til i die
CMON YOU NIX!!
Cant wait to see what the response is going to be on the 27th if we
get 15000 plus to the first game.
