    @steven-harris He tries too much at times. Great talent but needs to improve his decision making.

    Counties are early candidates for the wooden spoon.

    @gt12 Waikato can - at worst - be relegated. The wooden spoon is for the team at the bottom of the Championship.

    Nevertheless, glass houses and stones.

    @gt12 Haha, yeah, I'll be happy if we can stay in the Premiership this year and hold on to the Shield as long as possible. It's always hard to stay in the Premiership the year after promotion.

    Manawatu's #6, Howden had a good game. 82nd minute and he's still getting off the ground quickly, chasing and making good covering tackles.

    Cameron looked good, as did Wild at fullback.

    Leger was very poor. As was Laulala. CM just looked lazy and placed themselves under pressure. No complaints if you keep giving the ref that picture.

    PS: I can't tip.

    Congratulations to the Turbos,despite CM not always getting the run of the green The visitors looked disjointed for a good part of the game
    Turbos forwards were more accurate and the halves for the home team ,Cameron especially ran the cutter ..not much else to say ..my choice for MOM Hurley Langton

    Leger doesn't look good at five-eighth at this level.

    Lavea got his backline selections all wrong. Leger should be at 12 and move Teleʻa to 13. Laulala might be better used at 1st 5 if he starts. Tikoirotuma looked his age.

    I wouldn't say no to Motuga at the Chiefs.

    You guys had a chance to call him up as injury cover this year, but chose a few others ahead of him.

    The Chiefs didn't need another 7 with Boshier (x2). I think he has the physicality that Karpik lacks at SR level.

    First tip against the TAB. Got the winner, but not the margin.

    Did anyone watch this game?

    Manawatu got a bunch of scrum penalties in the 2nd half, was that Jared Addams doing?

    Crazy that he doesn't have a Super Rugby contract.

    @tim Adams came on late. I thought CM were unlucky with some of those scrum penalties as they were often going forward when the scrum collapsed.

    That was a surprise. Also confirmation that Leger is definitely not a 10. Well, he's probably still a Canes 10 but he's not NPC level.

    Well I enjoyed the game, bloody great having NPC back. Good on Manawatu, their pack just got stuck in and never let Counties settle properly. Think the Tu' will be quietly happy today and think maybe they starting to get a decent team to build on. Though hard to say after only 1 game, but think they would be looking at the positives.
