    These Rieko Ioane stats are freakish. Particularly when you consider that his team was misfiring

    That's good news, Waikato's come a long way in the last two years. Probably would've made the semis this year if they hadn't had to defend the shield against Canterbury in a midweek game (not that that's a great excuse for losing to fuckin' Northland).

    Sucks Trainor and Stevenson are leaving though.

    @Unco I thought Waikato showed improvement from last year.

    If you compare the other teams in the Premiership, Waikato would have the least number Super rugby players in their starting XV so most of the team are coming from club rugby. When Tucker, Moli and Uhila were all injured there were a series of games that didn't include any Super reps in the forward pack.

    Quite interesting they scheduled the awards to happen prior to the finals too!

    @Bones Plenty of unions have already had their awards night. Not so sure what's strange about that if teams are not involved in the finals.

    probably couldn't figure out whether it was reiko or rieko.

    @Tim Beautiful. Wouldn't be suprised if he debuts next year in the Mitre 10 Cup. The kid reminds me of a young Nick Evans.

    Oh, and good to see another St Peters boy coming through the ranks 😉

    So long as it's not another St Peters midfielder 😛

    If Simon Hickey can get game time first year out of school, then I can't see why Plummer can't either.

    @Dice McCahill, Leaupepe, Francis Saili, Vince Aso, Roimata Hansell Pune yeah it's a bit of a hit and miss bunch haha. Ben Lam played a lot of midfield at school as well.

    Yeah well with Hickey gone we don't have a lot at 10. I think we just put him or Wiseguy Faiane in and hope for the best as long as it isn't Tyrone Elkington-MacDonald.

    Only just saw this post from Brad Weber on instagram. I think he'll be very happy those trialled laws have been binned. It shows exactly why they were dangerous, esp. for halfbacks.
