Colossus v cipher!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: The Hound suggests that former All Black legend and King Country farmer, the late, great Sir Colin Meads, will be turning in his grave at the antics of current AB halfback TJ Perenara.

The Hurricane - and let's face it, overly woke - player recently decreed that he is a vegan because "animal farming is destroying the planet".

Meads, who once famously suggested that modern-day players would be better off eating more steak than poncing around with fancy diets, would no doubt be rolling his eyes about Perenara's claim.

The great Pinetree would probably point out how flying around the world to play a game of footy is doing infinitely more damage to the planet than eating a lamb chop every couple of days.

Mind you, Meads was a legend and a colossus of our national game, something Perenara will never be!

'Terrible idea'

OPINION: With media putting so much effort into covering the issue of children not really liking the school lunch they never asked for in the first place, it's understandable they've paid little if any attention to the looming threat to the NZ economy - bird flu.

OPINION: If you believe Maori Party president John Tamihere’s claim that “nothing dodgy” occurred at Manurewa Marae during the last election, the Hound has a bridge to sell you.
