@Steven-Harris
Fair call. Needs some polish though. Higgins and Lakai look like the best of the young crop to me.So frustrating watching Aumua. Has it all but throws like a leper
-
Unbelievable! Been many a year since I've used the words Steamers and clinical in the same sentence. Seriously impressive (apart from the scrum) against a superior team on paper. New recruits were outstanding
-
@Steven-Harris yep. Tough after his family situation a few years ago. He's 100% effort every game
-
Oh what could have been. If we played with the acuracy we showed today, we'd be in the semis. Though another game where we leaked points in the last 20. Fitness needs to be looked at next year. Narawa looked great on the wing. Plenty of positives from the pack. We needed a better centre (shame Foketi was injured all season) this year. A new backs coach too. We were too predictable. Shame we didn't have Monty Ioane this year. He was electric. I'm still dumbfounded how he missed out on a super contract.
-
Hair-brained by Gibson. No explanation from the union around injuries (typical). Such a class squad this year but this backline from 12 onwards seems like they were drawing straws out of a hat.
Seems Gibson is heading to the pile with Greg Smith and Kevin Schuler -
Tough one first up. Is Lats injured? I see Parete is at lock for Naki, seems they knew we would pick a short lock in Ardron. I'm glad we have some continuity in the backline. What's with Simmonson? Contracted this year and last, but yet to make a rep game.
I'm keen to see how our front row goes this year. Some super rugby experience, somewhat unexpected for Thwaites, who did well I thought. I've always rated Sakalia, but she always misses part of a season with injury. I thought he was out best in the front row.
Gutted to lose some experience with the locks, but Ardron seemed to find five gears in a Chiefs jersey after being stuck in two last year.
Backs, gutted Monty Ioane wasn't picked up for super rugby. He had gas. Something our backs have lacked. Is Isaac Te Aute still around? Fuatai? -
Can't take Justin Harrison seriously after seeing him out on the town when he played. Absolute pig. By far the worst I've seen. His commentary is worse.
-
Direct from the corner. Outstanding
-
@Midge someone said out for the season. No info is given from the union. Classic NPC lack of fan engagement
-
Tits for hands and shit for brains
-
Gutless shit from BoP. Lineouts still shit, getting the ball then kicking it. No fucking direction
-
@KiwiMurph Hasn't played in NPC. Injured all season possibly
-
Guts on defence from BoP
-
Watched about an hour of this game. We have rocks and diamonds. Not sure why we keep picking rocks, even though they're young. Players who have runs on the board in domestic aren't there
-
Just wish we had a guy with gas. Far king injuries
-
Would love an injury update from BoP. They never do it. Not sure why. I like how it's mandatory in the NRL.
From the BoP list it might cause an RSI typing it all -
@Duluth
And Justin Marshall -
@OleOleOle Absolutely! He gets stuck into everything. One of those guys that will lift others through work ethic. He seems a little quicker and looks to have bulked up this year due to being in the 7s squad.

@bayimports Pod Turner was pumping him up big time. Our line out has been great this year. Scrum not too shabby too
