Well, this is the next question.
OK, Fred Kelly, who's come in.
When is winning boring?
When Auckland dominated in the mid 80s, early 90s, it was so ho-hum there were many Aucklanders who wished they'd lose just to bring the challenge back into the game.
This argument just drives me absolutely crazy.
Out of all the sports teams I follow in the world, I have never found winning boring because within an instant your team is shite and you start losing.
So I just don't get with it ever.
And I know that there was a time when Auckland were winning and dominating like that.
We were from Wellington.
God, I hated that team, man.
I loved them in all black jerseys, but I hated Zinzambrook and I hated Fitzpatrick and I hated the Wettins and I hated all of that team.
But the whole point was trying to beat them.
I even supported Waikato when they came up and took the shield off them once, right?
I couldn't believe myself because I despised them as equally as a Wellington fan.
But the winning is never boring.
Look at the Australian cricket team.
Ask them whether winning is boring.
They'll slap you across the head and beat you like they did to England in the Ashes.
Was that boring to Australia?
No.
