Current Affairs Seasons Greetings

Well, this post may be more of a thanksgiving type one mixed in with a bit of seasons greetings so apologies for that.
This time last year I had just had fairly major surgery and not in the best shape. Recovering in hospital and then at home, while not being able to move much and do much, can take it's toll on you. Both with your physical health and mental health. One of the things that helped to keep me occupied and distracted was NZWarriors.com
Thank you @Cces and @Wrighty for running your fantasy competitions and your contributions to the site. These games are great to play, really enhances the forum and good to fill in the time in bye weeks and the off season. Even though the end result in the last game seemed somewhat contrived and not reflective of rewarding the best team assembled - obviously my one, conveniently now deleted by the turks. We have another starting shortly and if you haven't been involved with playing one I recommend getting in on the next one and trying it out. Once again, thanks team. Though I'm no longer buying your "I'm new to league" line anymore now @Wrighty!
Thank you to the members of this site and community. It really is a fairly diverse group with a love for the Warriors in common. There are a few arguments with shadows and the odd pissing contest, but mostly a very knowledgeable and good bunch of cats to share the ups and downs with, learn from and discuss all things Warriors and more. Thank you everyone for your contributions however big or small to the discussions and topics at hand.
This place is very male dominated, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. In my experience, though this is improving with younger generations coming through, I have found men in general don't really talk much when it comes to personal problems or asking for help and support, be it physical or mental health related. It is great to see threads like A Weighty Issue, Life's Lessons, PSA - Social Media - Impact on Mental Health and Savage September. Some may find these threads aren't their cup of tea, but anything that helps support, motivate, inspire and provides an opportunity for discussion and chat is a good thing I think. Personally, I have found great support and motivation from the Savage September thread over the last few months. Thank you to @MrFrankWhite for starting the thread and the rest of the guys in that thread for your contributions and inspiration. Please don't take anything for granted, look after yourself, get yourself checked out regularly and it really is ok to talk about things. One thing I have learned over this year is little changes can, and will, make big differences even if it might take time to see them. You just have to start.
Lastly, the biggest thanks to @tajhay, @mt.wellington and the rest of the crew that allow us to have an amazing place like this to frequent. After being violated by the turkish bear, I think the rebirth of the site has been phenomenal. And while it was such a disappointing period, I think what has been achieved getting things back up and running in such a relatively short space of time is simply amazing. This, in my opinion, is the best Rugby League fan forum out there and that's a direct reflection of all of your hard work doing what you do.
So, from me and mine to you and yours, have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Take care out there and be safe.

Merry Christmas to my NZWarriors whanau!
It's been a hell of a year - to be honest I really did have a sense that this year could have been THE year after our efforts in 2023. Oh how wrong I was. We've been through many ups and downs this year, so just wanted to say thanks to everyone for a fun year on here. Even if we've disagreed about things, I value this place massively and enjoy the banter.
What's everyone up to for Christmas and the Holidays this year?
Who's drinking what, whose eating what? (Or should I say WHO
)
Anyone going all out for Christmas, or getting away from it all by holidaying somewhere?
Any and all stories welcome!
Merry Christmas you filthy animals....each and everyone of ya

I am strangely optimistic for next season. There are a few ifs that need to be worked out but I think we are in for a cracker of a season with a few traditional warriors ups and downs thrown in. I'm really looking forward to taking your $5 at the end of next year

Last night I slow poached a whole chicken in master stock. After refrigerating it overnight I brought it up to room temp then smoked it on the BBQ.
I served it with some plain clove rice and some cabbage (from the garden) ginger, garlic and onion fired in sesame oil and added some of the master stock as it was cooking.
Just ate some of it with my youngest daughter. Can't move now and may take a nanna nap.
Merry Xmas and a safe and happy new year to all my forum brothers and sisters.
