@voodoo said in Ultimate NPC: Round 1 Waikato v Manawatu:

Some serious wheels in that Waikato backline

But they have Fozzie at 10

[Tim]

@Crucial Even worse, they are burdened with Reece Duggan!

[Bovidae]

I'm hoping this Ian Foster turns up.

[dogmeat]

Far and away the tightest one for me to pick.

[Tim]

@dogmeat Manawatu get close to parity in the forwards, and have much better halves.

I reckon they are stronger from 1-10 and then at 15.

[dogmeat]

@Tim I went for the Poo I just thought it would be a closer contest than the others

[taniwharugby]

@dogmeat I thought it was easier than a couple others.

[dogmeat]

@taniwharugby yeah well you did pick the Taniwha.....

[taniwharugby]

@dogmeat mate, heart ALWAYS pick the the Taniwha!

[dogmeat]

@taniwharugby I have enjoyed a few good nights at Okara Park. Yet to see the home team win though.

It's the most bogan ground I have ever been to - in a good way. Only place I've ever been to where in his after match presentation the President of NRU told the punters what roads to take to avoid the booze bus

[taniwharugby]

@dogmeat guessing you havent been here for some time...?

It's not about the winning (says someone who's team experiences losing more than winning) its about supporting your team and being able to enjoy the rare wins when they happen!

Harbour
Warriors
Black Caps
Fulham

There have been years when they've barely mustered a win between them.

I would hate to support someone like Canterbury or Man U and not truly appreciate a Ranfurly Shield victory or Europa League Final. Actually just - I would hate to support someone like Canterbury or Man U works fine.

I was going to say that you left out Ta$man but then they've never experienced a Shield win so I wouldn't know if they'd appreciate it or not

[dogmeat]

I had to give a presentation at a management conference the Monday after Harbour's shield win. To a room heavily sprinklered with rabid Canterbury supporters. My Powerpoint was titled Leadership with Courage, clicked on the title and it played the last 10 minutes of the challenge - twice.

@Tim I reckon Manawatu might have the better pack - at least in terms of the "greatness" pantheon.

Waikato only has Loe and (for a short time) Messam as regular first choice ABs.

Manawatu has Knight, Lambert, Shaw and Eveleigh.
