Apart from Falcon (injured before season) is McNicol the only possible top 23 player currently injured during the season?
-
@Hooroo Yes, He usually plays there. It seems that injuries are beginning to bite though with a few different selections. Mua left the field injured last week so I assume isn't right yet. Tom Franklin usually plays lock but did play at 6 a bit for us a couple of years back. Pryor Collier has hardly played for the Steamers (if at all) this year so I assume Forbes is out. Dennon Robinson-Bartlett, who is in the reserves, has come in from the Development team for his first game.
It will be interesting to see what tactics are used by both teams. Hawkes *** are pretty adept at the rolling mauls and Bay of Plenty are getting good at clearing the ball quickly to our outside backs.
I can't wait.

@Stockcar86 Jonah Lowe would be in the top 23 as well.
-
Of course. My bad
No way should I have forgotten him with his performance in last years match

What a magnificent sight seeing my team walking down the staris am,ongst the crowd to take the field for this game. Something essentrially old fashiond almost cricket like in a way. Anyway battle commences.
I saw it as a sneaky plan by Of Plenty to try and make some our players trip before making the field.

On defence implies there is defence.
