What do you think? I think he would be better off in lots of regards to come to New Zealand

I think that he should stay here.

Why the hell would anybody want to go to New Zealand? It's got nowt going for it except for the sheep and the secluded spots to take them to.

If you were gonna go to the arse of travelling half way around the world then surely you'd be better off going to Australia?

Your a clown. Do some traveling mate, theres more to the world than whats up your arse.
I was hoping for some adult comment, then you turned up, very disappointed. Once your pull your head out oh rosey cheeked one, tell me why in your 'wordly' view should aus be a preferance, ( please don't use ill informed opinion). Wellington plays in the A league, has brought well and has a bloody good lifestyle.

Where's that little smiley with the fishing rod when you need him?

Seriously though, I would be upset to see Joel leave here for anywhere so it's nowt personal. He's probably our best player and one we can ill afford to lose- an entertainer with creativity who any team would miss.

So I hope that you don't get him and he's playing in our blue and white again next season.

PS. Try looking at the original content of your own post about him "being better off..." signing for you if you don't want sharp replies in the future.

The standard of the aussie league must be conference level surely?

They have a wage cap over there too so it's not like he would be raking it in.

Nice catch or nice out, all good anyways. Yeah was a bit sensitive re sheep, its as old as aussie convict jokes. p.s theres more sheep in aus and more 'private' space. But they still root roos and have the insest capital of the world (Tasmania).
So your sad if he goes, sorry but thats only good news for us if we get him. Though I hear he had some knee probs on the weekend, anything serious. He has a history of that, doesn't he? Still think he would be value for money when hes fit. Maybe oneday you can make it down under and watch him play, I will shout you enough cold beers to get a elephant drunk and merry. Seriously good atmosphere at home games here, average crowd apprx 15,000 and hoping for 20,000 with the new signings weve made.

I honestly think we would give Hartlepool a 'very' good game
Yeah we have a wage cap, but also a no $ limit for a marqee player, which is what we would call him.
Surely he would do well in the money stakes and this is a farkin good place to live and if he has a family a great place to raise children.

15000-20000

That's the population of New Zealand

lol, no I think thats the population of Hartlepool

Had to google that! . Probably frowned upon as a conversation starter
There are some sad arsed people around

That might not quite be the kind of teapotting we're talking about.

Dirty bastids

I'm at work and daren't Google it!

Somebody wanna post a brief definition...

in the interests of knowledge and scientific endeavour I googled as requested and found this

"Teapotting is when a man is m*stur!ating and sticks his thumb up his own @5s to massage his prostate gland in order to intensify the experience"

Never heard of that!

Anybody tried it?

In the interests of scientific endeavour...

...did you give it a try???

No it wasn't a field trial just internet research

that what I got from google too. A strange question to ask, and abit gayish

So what is the clean version of teapotting? Sounds like an english term though I'm sure we have our take on it.

Back on subject, any news on Joels injury?
Oh and free beers for any poolie fan whos here to watch him play for us.
My shout

James Brown is a much better player.

More skillful, quicker, and grafts alot more than Joel.

If Joel leaves it depends who we can bring in. If we can bring in Darrly Duffy then I guess the majority of us would be happy. If he instead tries to make use of Foley and Mackay I think the majority of us would be seriously pissed off.

Since we can't see into the future it would be a shame to lose Joel, but by no means would I be gutted as I would be if James Brown left.

pokey bum wa nk!!!





Joel Porters knackered, knee's are gone, he'd be no good to you's

Has anyone tried a 71 with their lass?

er, d'ya fancy asking permission before you use my invented word. i've patented it, and in fact need 7p off anyone who mentions it. i don't take cheques.

and the other teapotting isn't what its cracked up to be, mostly cos i'm not that flexible

of course he's leaving

Darrly Duffy? I didn't realise you were THAT fond of him

Australia....? a quarry with a 'opera' house.

I didn't write that.

Are you trying to confuse me Ms G?
