Tis best to skite while one is ahead before the Fall comes.

John from East Invercargill

Aussie Rugby League NRL

RND TIPS 4 TOTAL TIPS 39 OVERALL RANK 863/119125

863/119125

Yes this is me skiting while I can with my top 0.7% ranking in the Aussie / NZ Rugby league tipping competition. With another 3 games this week end that could go either way I thought it prudent that I show off now while I am ahead. I have been ahead all season of the nrl.com sites EXPERT tippers comprising ex players TV and print media reporters. It is with great humility that I accept your thanks and congratulations..
I started watching League when TV first started in Invercargill mid 60's with the British game. Then when I was living in Sydney 74/75 my girlfriend dragged me off to a Souths pre season Friday night game and from there we went to watch my Easts team , was living in Coogee afterall , and her Souths every week end. I ended up playing the game in the Goldfields of Western Aust when I got back from Africa in 1980 until I headed off to Asia in late 82.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
