Yep Kamo have a strong squad and are playing to thier strengths.
-
Kamo Prems continue thier march, 8/8 now, at home they got past Waipu 27-5.
Gus Collins made a brief appearance off the bench to lean on a scrum or 2 for the reserves, Tony MOnaghan also had a run around as he got to line up with his son who was in the mid-field.

@taniwharugby unsure of Rangers return,but you would want him to get a few games under his belt for Mitre 10 cup
-
OBM & HH both pick up wins to keep in touch with Kamo.
OBM made to work against Western Sharks, went to the break with a 28-10 lead, and a huge crosswind that was just angled at thier backs in the 1st spell.
-
Kamo handed thier first defeat of the season out at Waipu, going down 25-20.
-
Otamatea defaulted to Kamo today, I guess fortunate for Kamo that a home semi wasnt relying on them getting a BP win...shame really, was Kamo's club day and was a good day with all the Junior teams out in good form too!
-
@taniwharugby Defaulting a Senior Prem side should mean they get some sort of penalty.
-
@kev definitely!!
TR Jnrs game was postponed as them and their scheduled opposition provide about 24 kids in the Taniwha Shield this week so I had a rare chance to mooch about watching other kids teams and talk to people and they were very unhappy, it isnt just the game, its the supporters that turn up to watch and have a couple of beers after the game, and when your club is winning, that is a bigger hit.
I think they now have to front up for the Promo-Relegation game v Tomarata...
If promoted I wonder if Ranger would head back for a few games!
-
@taniwharugby Tomarata now play Moerewa/UK, the winner plays Otamatea and the loser plays the Sharks.
That was the 2nd game in a row that Otamatea defaulted, and the Sharks also defaulted yesterday.
I understood the rules to be if a team defaults twice they have to go before the NRU to plead there case to be allowed to remain in the Premiers.
If my information is correct Tomarata have no interest in getting into the premiers but Moerewa/UK are very keen.

@gunner it’s bloody sad to see the state of Otamatea,Dean Kenny coached them to a semi final 2 x seasons ago,but was then asked to reapply,this is a former All Black who was commuting from the North Shore of Auckland to Kaiwaka..
Along with his assistant Nathan Jacoby who called a spade a spade they both in my opinion were treated badly,
In other words the executive backed the players that were moaning their heads off about being spoken to sternly,well fuck me...!..
In my experience players come and go,good coaches are hard to come by,so you back them 100% of the time..
Bloody sad really as my 2 nephews played for Otamatea that year and there are some great people within the club,but I guess there are some that may need to step away..
Even the sponsors have pulled the plug and they are having trouble putting a team on the paddock..
Maybe some time down in the South Zone comp might be the best way to rebuild ..would be great to get some feedback from the current players -
What a fucking shambles. None of those Joe Morgan comp clubs should be defaulting. I’ve seen it a bit in Mangonui/BOI in the past, but this is our premier competition, they should all have suffice numbers for an A and B team.
Hell, I just spent some time down in Horowhenua-Kapiti where my daughters live. I got out and watched some club footy and all the teams were stacked full... and that’s a Heartland Union!
Get rid of Ota and chuck Moerewa-UK in there, at least they’re keen - plus they’re tearing some new assholes in the North Zone comp.

I cannot understand how the players can do it though, any loyal club players want to be there, I understand injuries, but surely they could have a fit squad to travel and at least play just the a's?
I know it aint fun getting thrashed, but a bit of pride goes a long way.
I remember one time in the UK our 1st team had a Sunday Cup semi final, so the b's played on Saturday in the a's club game, got killed, but at least had a team (I Played in both games for 80 mins haha)
Also hear Waipu are having some 'legal' issues around fielding a non-registered player (although apparently had NRU permission, but still breached a rule or some rules?
-
Most premier clubs struggle to get two teams on the field, some players have to front up and play two games.
I think it’s time they did away with the premier reserves, if a club has two teams their second team plays second division.
It will create a more level playing field, because as it is the system is set up for clubs in higher populated areas to dominate. Take Tomarata for instance. They can comfortably put together one good team but not two, so if they are good enough to win the promotion game, it’s only fair that they have a crack at playing premiers.

If they can’t field a reserves team, then both games are defaulted...
I think it’s done that way to prevent defaults, but it’s clearly not working.The Waipu situation is, how shall I say this, an ‘interesting situation’
I could go on all night but the inconsistencies in rules and how they’re applied at Northland is unbelievable.
The MW situation that saw NRU take 7 points off us for playing an ‘unregistered player’ was an absolute joke.
Without going into it too much, the guy who it was over is a local guy who played some footy in Ireland about 5 years ago. He played for us 2 or 3 years ago, no issues but apparently it was a problem this year.
Waipu knowingly played a player in rounds 2 and 3 who was registered to a North Harbour club and somehow that was ok because there was some magical ‘3 week window’ to get all registrations done.
Funny because the game we lost points for was in the third game of the season. Where was our 3 week window?It’s fucking bullshit to put it bluntly.
Let’s make the rules up as we go should we?
