BOP v Magpies

He must be because on reputation he must be a first choice selection ahead of Cridge (at blindside) or Selesele (at openside).
He's actually looked pretty good in the couple of matches I've seen him play this year - and he's a star of my PS4 Magpies team now that I've run out of money to pay for big name players.

Maybe I should be selector...

Man of the match for me would be Ihaia West. Despite the yellow, was really impressed by Cridge - he could be a good loosey if the Evans/Lamborn injuries keep them out for a few weeks.

That's what is so disappointing and frustrating as we very seldom get to see him play thanks to what seems to be a never ending run of injuries.

Can someone pass a law against injuries as that was one of the few areas that we excelled at with a big number early on that really did not help. Stargazer, can you publish your list of those unavailable for selection because of injury (and their expected return dates) that you will have tucked away somewhere so we can assess the situation please? At least you can temporarily remove G Cridge and S McNicol from it meaning H Renton is currently the only life member of that list.
Fortunately, I still have a Magpies injury list. I didn't have time to keep my NZ Super Rugby injury list up-to-date; too many injured players!
I have put Renton at the bottom of the list with a question mark, because I haven't seen any confirmation from the HBRU or anything in the media that he's actually injured.

Yes, that is quite an impressive list after just one round .....

TAB has Hawke's Bay favourite at $1.77 with BOP at $2.05.
I find that a bit surprising.
Me too. I am heading into this game feeling like the underdog by 8-10 points, but happy to be proved wrong

Its got me perplexed too, especially watching both sides play last week. I can only presume someone has plonked a big sum on HB and the TAB are offering enticing odds on BoP to attract money on them to spread the TAB's financial risk.
I've got a bad feeling about this game, especially considering I can't find my HB scarf and beanie. It kind of feels treasonous to watch our guys play not wearing acceptable supporters gear.

That was pretty stupid from Rakete-Stones, he doesn't just look like Clint Newlands

Fuck, we need the ball

Can't place this referee, what's his name?

I think I worked out why Eaton always goes to the short side - he can't pass long
-
Give him is due, Eaton has added something to his game. Slowness to the rucks

HB paying the price of not playing a specialist 7
