Manawatu v Northland

[taniwharugby]

@steven-harris damn, had forgotten about Allan Craig!

Jeez that is a pretty strong list of players unavailable...potentially 8-11 starters!

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby that’s a few unavailable, the good news is we should have a few more bods back on deck next week..

[cgrant]

Is Tyler Laubscher out for the season ?

[Steven Harris]

Very strong Turbos team ,
Going to be tough day at the office for a seriously depleted Taniwha outfit .

[Steven Harris]

@cgrant Tyler Laubscher has an ongoing groin injury which has kept him out of rugby this year , he’s a real talent , we saw examples of that during his debut season last year.

[Tim]

Midfield clash looks interesting.

[taniwharugby]

@tim as long as Hohaia doesnt go lone ranger and break the connection with the men either side of him when he rushes out like he does so often at this level and club footy.

[taniwharugby]

Just seen this will be Josh Goodhues 50th...jeez he's had a few knocks along the way, hope he gets the W to celebrate, ruin that useless Aaron Smiths return haha

[kev]

Tough penalty?

[kev]

Blowing penalties. Stop start.

[taniwharugby]

Jeez that was a tough call on blakes pass

[taniwharugby]

Messy AF

[Anonymous]

That looked close to a penalty try

[taniwharugby]

@anonymous bit far out, but if in 22 def

[taniwharugby]

Corey putting the heat on his opposite

[kev]

Hohaia. FFS.

[taniwharugby]

Manawatu up offside, we flying off our feet...ref needs to take control

[taniwharugby]

Pisi way out of position with 1 man down...Reihana missing another tackle

[KiwiMurph]

Reihana has real issues with his defence.

Reihana has real issues with his defence.

He is getting into good positions - just not quite making them. Young -he will get better.
