BOP v Auckland
-
Interesting to see if Hickey and Funaki are considered as our first choice 9 and 10 or just rewarded for having good games last week.

we're going to get fucking murdered
I would even suggest the 8.5 point head start wont be enough either at the TAB
-
Who is going to murder who? Has the BOP team been named yet? Are they going to play their best players, and put players in their best positions this week? If so, then it might be a real contest. That is not a strong looking Auckland lineup - just Ta'avao, Gibson, Faiane and maybe Scrafton as standouts at this level.

@ARHS I think BoP have been hiding a lot of big injuries (injuries been a lot worse than what has been declared...if declared) and I don't expect them to be playing this week. And to @mariner4life 's point, we also have to play a lot better than we have..so we look likely to be royally fucked regardless of a team naming.

Clayton could start by introducing our tight five to each other at training. Then maybe we won't look as lost when defending rucks within our own 22....

Maybe I should suggest more often that none of our players are likely to come back soon... lol ....Welcome Emoni, Otere and most importantly Mitch Karpik
We still need to play a lot more cohesively to beat Auckland though..
-
@bayimports Yahoo! Pleased to see Carter and Garland back in the mix also. Looks a far stronger proposition than last week. Fingers crossed they will combine better too.
-
Scotty Curry and Ware as the starting midfield, would not have picked that. Let’s hope they see some ball, if the tight forwards do a little better than last week....

@nzzp..no clear release by Vella..very poor from the official
