  I'm bored, and on baby duty, so I'll accept the premise and name my team. I'll do my best to name people fit and that I'm sure are available, except at loosehead, where I'd make the call to Wyatt to come out for one last hurrah: 1 Crockett 2 Makalio 3 To'omaga-Allen 4 Romano 5 Franklin 6 Ioane/Papali'i 7 Papali'i/Evans 8 Evans/Ioane 9 Weber 10 Hunt 11 Lam 12 Laumape (returns next week I believe - if not Thompson moves in and Seta or Proctor to 13) 13 Thompson 14 Alaimalo 15 Havili 16 Aumua 17 Hodgman 18 Alaatoa 19 Allardice 20 Gibson (is he fit? He never is, if not then I'm actually not sure) 21 Hall 22 Black 23 Proctor/Seta I want to see Jordan play well at Super level before I get too excited, although I'm pretty sure he'll be ahead of Havili pretty quickly, and it's tempting to pick him there now. However, I thought of this team as what I'd pick from what is left over assuming we played SA or Oz next week - not with who the talents are running around and carving up Mitre 10 rugby. I think this team would lose by a bit too, but it passed the time.

  His attempted tackle on Sione Teu during James Parson's first try was just a dive-in-front of Sione Teu's knees - no attempt to wrap the arms around Teu to hold or bring him down. Teu rolled on closer to the line to plant the ball for Parsons to score. Tevita Li scored his try when Taulagi made a pathetic grab high for him and Li just brushed past him.

  All tables updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and the new tipping sheet is online. If you weren't scoring high 50s or more this week you were falling back as 13 people picked all 8 from 8. Best of the bunch were Hydro11 and Crucial with 64 with Langakali, Higgins, Tim and Buck also 60+. Early leader Stargazer has been hauled in and Langakali now leads by 4 from Higgins with Stargazer a point back and Fiamacho 10 back from him. There is a gaggle of players behind who are within an outstanding week of being in contention so it's looking to be a close finish with 3 rounds to go. The top 4 looks set now with Hawke's Bay winning the battle of the bays against a BOP team as woeful as the real team. With just the poor South Island to play, they need just a point to seal the play-offs. Northland lost their first game of the season to Wellington meaning the minor premiership is still up for grabs. In the Cup, the semi-finals are between Crucial and Plastered Peni and Donsteppa and Tim. Hydro11 64 Crucial 64 Langakali 61 Higgins 61 Tim 61 Buck 61 Winger 58 Plastered Peni 57 Donsteppa 56 Triple T 56 DK 56 Propsicle 56 Fiamacho 55 Dogmeat 54 Cactus Jack 54 Corkscrew 54 Stargazer 53 KP 53 Laurence 53 Waynes World 52 Victor 50 Richie 49 Hooroo 49 Gunner 48 Broughie 47 Justin77 46 Joan and Mary 46 Smudge 46 Virgil 46 Bay Imports 45 TR 43 FarNthHayden 43 Phooey 43 Hurrycanes 41 Stockcar86 41 Unite 41 Mikedogz 41 Paj 41 Sportboy 39 Antipodean 37 Trooa 36 Clara 31 ACT Crusader 31

  Well quotes are still partially broken (missing the @ before the name). So we're are stuck with that bug for a few more days.. I've enabled the quick reply box. This doesn't interfere with the ads so google shouldn't complain Replying to, or quoting a specific post will take you to the full screen composer
