        I hope Charles does well but he could be the one that got away for Waikato. I still can't believe he was overlooked for the NZ U20s.

          @Bovidae I'm still surprised he went there, my understanding is when Solomon was looking to return to NOrthland, he was trying to get us to sign Charles too, but when Solomon went to Waikato I thought Charles would have followed....

            Assume Goodhue is injured, would prefer they let Leilua go to FB, otherwise looks as good as we can field with the injuries we have.

              Wiseguy injured or just not selected again? If it's the later I wouldn't be surprised to see him go somewhere else next year

                      @Duluth my understanding is , because Hawkins and Cooper were signed up in the original squad , Wiseguy only came in earlier because of the injury to Hawkins ..

                        I wish Northland would show some patience, stop throwing low percentage offloads and just hold the bloody ball. It’s doing my head in.

                          @Duluth said in Northland v Southland:

                          Ref has no balls. Obvious YC against GPT not called

                          That was a shocking non-call.

                                @Steven-Harris so frustrating!

                                Southland are playing all the rugby, only because of our poor option taking and execution.

                                If we can get out of this period of Southland dominance without points conceded it’ll be a big confidence booster.

                                We’ve given a few penalties away too... must be close to a warning?

                                    Our set piece is so inconsistent.

                                    Need to build some phases, and as usual we are leaving alot of space on our outsides

                                      The better playing team is behind on the score board, but great scrambling defence from Northland thus far.

                                        That was the worst 40 Northland have played all season, including the Tasman game, not sure how we’re ahead!

                                        Hope the boys get a hell of a tune up at half time!

                                        Need to put the offload away, some days they come off and today certainly isn’t one of them. Need to also stop kicking the ball to them.

                                        Ge the ball, hold the ball, build phases, then capitalise. Simple stuff.

                                        C’mon Northland!!!!!

                                          Good to see nothings changed this half so far.... Northland tactic - kick the ball to the opposition.

                                          Hawkins’ kicking is dreadful.

                                                      Pick and go not working for Southland. Maybe use their backs more and go wide?

                                                            Hawkins must be dropped. Although that’s been said plenty of times in the last few seasons

But Hawkins steps crossfield and lacks power in his kicking. Hohaia is not a kicker, and Gregory is so hit and miss as to be dangerous. Hence our game management is awful.

                                                                      Worst game I’ve seen Northland play in a long long time.

                                                                      Didn’t respect the ball when we had it, awful kicking, stupid penalties.

                                                                      Pretty much everything we did only put us under more pressure than was already on us.

                                                                      Wonder if the heads were already in Napier...

                                                                          I think a lot of people are underestimating Southland still haha, I'm still stunned as to how they didn't win that. Good on Northland on showing grit out there but geez, Southland really should have won that, they were miles better everywhere apart from the scoreboard and could easily be 5 from 5. The turnaround from Southland this year has been amazing and certainly don't deserve to be 2 from 5 but sadly it is what it is.

                                                                          We'll done Northland though, 4 from 5 is nothing to be laughed at.

Northland invited them to win with some atrocious game management. That they didn’t illustrates their weakness. Ours is at 10/12 where we have other options but It seems don’t want to give them a shot.
