Go Landers!
Just thinking, every team Nonu joins they play terrible. He just never gets it right to know which team to join. When he played for Canes in the last few years they were awful, then he leaves and last year they actually played well. He then joined the Blues last year and they were just terrible, never seen such a bad Blues side. Now he joins the Landers and they sitting on the bottom of the log. He is just not getting it right with the teams he chosen to play for each year. He must be wondering why he never came to the Sharks when Plum approched him a few years back. Sure we have won nothing, but we have been in the play-offs the year before last and last year in the final.
^ I said that same thing couple of weeks ago on Twitter. Think the bloke is just unlucky but that Piri Weepu he is trouble
