v Otago
-
I feel like a stuck record, but Christ I swear this ref needs bodyguards to get out of Okara Park and Whangarei.
Pryor is going to get 10 in the bin here, the idiot. First call he's got right in what feels like for ever.
We are going to start having to play our starting 15 for 80 minutes every week for the rest of the season coz our impact off the bench in the last 3 games has had a negative impact on our game.

@taniwharugby the ref is a fucking arse.
Someone shoot him.
-
Aren't they automatic cards?
-
@stargazer irrelevant how they land...I've said that all year
-
Cnut...shouldn't have let that in.
-
Winning ugly....
-
@taniwharugby very very ugly. Letting them score at the end was poor. Someone needs to get into Kara Pryors head. He is a fine player but is giving away too many penalties.
-
@taniwharugby Olsen was cleaned out from the side and only landed on his back because he got so high that he could tuck his head. Shit second half, by us and refs. Why did Breem kick short after we let them back into the game. Go long and make them exit, play the %. FFS!!! We won but that game gives me no satisfaction.
-
I think they all got hit with the ugly stick as they walked into the ground tonight, that's how bloody ugly that was.
A win is a win though.
Bloody good how we hung in there when the ref was making cock up after cock up and the bounce of the ball just wasn't going our way.
Jack Goodhue again proving what an asset he is and why the ABs are keen on him. It's no surprise that he is on top of the Monkley Medal leaderboard.
Nock is another who is just going consistently about his business. How accurate are his box kicks!!! His passing and option taking are usually spot on too.
-
@taniwharugby just referring to that one tip late second half.
-
A positive for me tonight was the fact we showed that we can win ugly. As you fellas mentioned nothing was really going our way, especially in the 2nd 40. Northland teams in past years would have self destructed and been hammered.
Still a hell of a lot to polish up on. We need to sharpen up and be wiser to the kicks in behind us. Jordan Hyland was caught out there a couple of times, and that grubber for their try shouldn't have happened.
Yeah the ref and other officials were bloody annoying, but we get ourselves into those spots, so can't really blame anyone but ourselves.
But hey, we won, so I'm not going to whinge too much, 4 points in the bag and now on to Counties. A very winnable match, get a result here and a home semi could be very likely...
