@sparky I'll be surprised if he got close to being the starting running back. If you're playing in the 4th quarter in a pre-season game, the truth is, you're well down the pecking order on the team. Good to see him making some plays though.

Would've been nice if someone had an alternative jersey.

Patty needs to put tape around his head every game. Magic tape.

There was once a time when Ardie was a punchline on here. Now he's probably the best player in the country.

HB should've won at the death, but they blew it. They had numbers out wide multiple times under penalty advantage, but kept it tight instead. Still a good effort to come away with a draw though.

Not Fakatava's best game, but that pass to set up the break was nice.

Rough call against HB there. Went backwards.

Kirifi is killing the Magpies at the breakdown.

If you don't have Sky, this game is live on Prime.

Very good win by Counties. They also denied Harbour getting a second bonus point, which might come in handy at the end of the season.
