<p>Give <span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Mikaele Tu'u a chance I say</span></p>

<p>Agreed on both counts (Mike Coman might not have been so bad after all!!!!) but somehow the Bay manage to score a try wide out on the right to Robbie Fruean and its nicely converted by West HB  10 - 10  Counties after twenty minutes</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>That should never have been a try to Counties, foot on the line by Counties at the start of that movement</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>HB tackling is pathetic</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>If the tactic by the coach is to kick it away and we can't tackle, how do they expect to win</p>

<p>Yeah we seem to suffer at the hands of touch judges and TMOs in Napier</p>

[Higgins]

<p>URRRGGGGGGHHH, how much more of this shit can someone take as Counties score a rediculously easy converted try</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>TMO screwing us again</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Now Selesele manages to find another way of butchering a try. Why do my guys make try scoring look so difficult?</p>

[Higgins]

<p>This five metre scrum must bring a try to the Bay</p>

[Higgins]

<p>No, they manage to find someway to avoid that despite the scrum having looked good in most scrums prior to that.</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>FFS that was balking by Pulu</p>

[Higgins]

<p>A deliberate infringement by him should have resulted in a yellow card.</p>

[ACT Crusader]

What was that penalty??

[Stockcar86]

<p>this ref is just guessing at everything</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>if HB did not give up 4 or 5 soft tries each game, they could be competitive</p>

I'm sitting in the Harris Stand and looked foot on the line from where I am<br>
did TV show it?

[Higgins]

<p>Clear as daylight, I never miss any infringements against HB!</p>

[Higgins]

<p>How did the ref decide that was where the penalty should be when it was for a man in front?</p>
