Bay of Plenty v Canterbury
-
First thing I notice is we lack mobility in the loose forwards - certainly lacking a fetcher - in a game against an opposition with 1.5 openside flankers. And we also look decidedly weaker in the backs without Ennor.
Still, I'd be highly annoyed if we dropped this game as I think BOP are absolutely punching so far this season.

Anyone know what has happened to Foketi ?
Are Blake and Le'aupepe injured ?
Not unhappy to see Garland out as he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary thus far. Having said that neither has Fuatai so I would like to see him looking for more work.
I'm looking forward to see how Wardlaw goes at this level.
You'd have to rate The Bay a rough chance as long as they are are not overawed by the Canterbury aura. I read somewhere that the game could be won or lost at the breakdown and with Karpik and Lats performing we may win that battle.
An afternoon game at the Domain against one of the most successful teams in the comp with our team performing so well doesn't get any better !

Unfortunate that Harmon is injured. I don't rate Tom Christie very highly, cant see him progressing past NPC level.

Did someone mention McKay playing 10, or did I imagine it?
There’s one bloke on here that brings it up all the time like a broken record.
He played there at school, but hasn’t done since.
That's a bit OTT. I may have mentioned it twice this season. And once last year. Big fucken deal.
