Crap. Two of our better players. Particularly Manu
Clarke would be the most likely to start at centre? Umaga would come in for Trainor
If either player can't start our defence is seriously weakened

Making the game free is a good choice because the ground was basically empty for the semi final. If Aucklanders won’t turn up to a free game then they’ll never turn up. Don’t know why they persist with Eden Park for the NPC, atmosphere must be close to zero with such spartan crowds. It’s where the NH puts the SH to shame.
Good game from Akira, what more does he need to do?

What’s a good crowd result? 1/4 full?
I think that is a fantastic move by them.
What’s the bet the Waikato game is about 15%full?

Ask Steve to increase the squad size to one hundred and twenty.

About 6,000 there. They are all in one stand, so if the camera is on another stand it looks completely empty.
6k is not bad for the NPC. Many times more people than showed up for Waikato Northland

Why don't the use a smaller stadium though? 6000 in a 15'000 looks way better than 6'000 in a 60'000.

No other stadia in Auckland that I can think of. There are some that could handle a few thousand, but none that will get you 6-10k

Because who gives a fuck what it looks like in TV? Eden Park is great stadium to watch rugby at, and I went to the harbour game and it had a good atmosphere.
