Counties Manukau v Tasman

[pukunui]

What is the story with Frizell? Stuck on the bench at AB level, stuck on the bench at super level and stuck on the bench at npc level.

Is he unfit?

[Dice]

@pukunui Hard to tell, but it could just be rotation. He started the first 3 games and now this will be his 2nd game off the bench. Taufua has also had 3 starts and 2 games off the bench.

If Frizell is still on the bench next week, it probably means they see that as his best fit in this team.

[taniwharugby]

faark, just shake my head when I see the line ups they are rolling out, at this level that is insane.

[pukunui]

@Dice ok, not so bad then. I guess they are pretty stacked in that area too.

1 Sean Bagshaw, 2 Joseph Royal, 3 Tim Metcher, 4 Mickey Wooliams, 5 Daymon Leasuasu, 6 Samuel Slade, 7 Sam Henwood, 8 Dan Hyatt, 9 Jonathan Taumateine, 10 Riley Hohepa, 11 Kalione Hala, 12 Orbyn Leger, 13 Nikolai Foliaki, 14 Kirisi Kuridrani, 15 Andrew Kellaway

I am liking what I am seeing from Taumateine, am hoping he overtakes Weber for the Chiefs.

[Jailbreak7]

Gotta love the conditions at Puke. Good for onions and potatoes. Farmers will also be happy

[Bones]

Havili can kick goals can't he? He's certainly having a good season.

[Jailbreak7]

@Bones Yeah - kinda thinking he (with Laumape) may have been the unluckiest non-selection. That deciision he made for the pass to Jordan for the try was a beauty.

[NTA]

Perry not setting low enough here and being twisted in. Utterly the wrong call from the ref. Perry's elbow pointing down is the indicator.

Loved CM playing "Baby Shark" as the Mako ran out

[Daffy Jaffy]

@Jailbreak7 unlikely coz as he signed with the Canes for 2020.

[number9]

Perry is useless.

[Jailbreak7]

@number9 Can't believe he was an AB

[number9]

These commentators know f all about scrums.

[number9]

Perry got done again.

[Steven Harris]

Fantastic Kick pass from Hunt...CM need hit back or it’s gonna be a long night

[taniwharugby]

@NTA might be a thing after naki did it last week, all the good it did...

[Jailbreak7]

We lack incision and pace on attack. That and when we do get the ball we can't hold onto it.

[Jailbreak7]

Crissake living off scraps.

[NTA]

Is that Aussie Andrew Kellaway?

[Jailbreak7]

@NTA Ha yes dropping it cold.

[Higgins]

I have finally worked out what is putting me off a bit, I have not noticed the famous Counties supporting goat (albeit the replacement one after the original died a year or so back). Have I missed it or have Sky not shown it yet?

[Jailbreak7]

@Higgins Haha well spotted. Sky have not shown the goat. Maybe the farmers need to rally round for a replacement.

Wet weather and Aussies don't mix.

The Makos 13 is gigantic.

[Jailbreak7]

@NTA Levi Aumua. He's a big unit alright.

[Higgins]

@Jailbreak7 No need, they owners had already replaced the original so hopefully the new one is still going good. Would put my mind at rest just to see it to make sure. Maybe it has gone to bed early to keep out of the rain?

[Bones]

CM are actually pretty lucky here that Christie is so slow to clear the ball, could be a fair bit worse otherwise.

[Higgins]

Tim Perry goes down in scrum number 2.

[number9]

He still sucks.

It's pretty fucking wet. Don't think he can go any faster

[NTA]

Perry is shit. Getting smashed.

[Stargazer]

Sad to see Makalio go off like that. I hate it when that happens to a player. Hunt also failed his HIA.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer Yeah, never nice to see. Might need a few panadols tomorrow though.

[NTA]

He's ranga, ref. He doesn't know what he's doing

Annnnnd just like that you bring it back to relations with your wife again.

[shark]

Squire rested this week?

[Jailbreak7]

@shark Keeping powder dry

Speed is NEVER a problem for me 😎

[Canes4life]

I can see Jordan being a long term A.B. He is all class.
