Premiership semi-final: Tasman vs BoP
-
-
And, being even handed, the former AB coach comments on the opposition's chances....
"...Gone so fast...."
-
shouldn't this thread be titled Tasman Invitational XV vs The Bay?
-
@bayimports Wait till Cricket season comes....there's going to be searing commentary on the composition of that Northern Districts team and how it's funded (how many fucking games at Bay Oval....)?
-
we're going to roll this soulless plastic franchise.

Just something else we win at!

...meanwhile, you cheating BoP fluffybunnies....
"It was just a bit of rain and cloud in front of the sun," said Whakatane mayor Tony Bonne. "We did not think it mattered".
-
@Chris-B can you find any current news? Jeez!!
-
@taniwharugby Cheating on the sunshine hours title, though...
Jeez...that's pretty low calibre.
I hope we've got a decent referee.....
-
@Chris-B well Pickerill is already appointed to the Auckland/Waikato game, so you lucked out there!
-
@taniwharugby BoP is probably bringing Glen Jackson with them.
Which I wouldn't actually mind, because he's easily confused and just referees a homer regardless!

The Tasman Invitational XV does live in a 1970s time zone I suppose

From a watching point of view, sadly this is another one of these games where I hate both teams equally.

I can say the same thing for the Magpies v Inglewood thread.
-
Is the added mobility for the Tasman tight five, with 2 locks on the bench, a ploy or are the changes injury-related?? The energy from the BOP bench has certainly been a telling factor in recent matches?

looks shit. The Bay by a thousand
-
@ARHS The front row is injury related.
Not sure why they've switched Coxon and Tu'ungafasi, but Makalio and Salmon must be injured - they've been first choice pretty much all season (except when Lomax was available).
Not sure whether Ainley is injured or they're just preferring Cirikadaveta and Ross. I thought Cirikadaveta at blindside was a good selection in terms of adding size. There's only one lock on the bench.
Backs are the best we have with Nankivell injured.
A bit down on strength, but it's only the MMMBoppers!
-
build up report, not even the media can find a Bay team list even at this stage of the season..
-
@bayimports a good read. While no team lists, the Facebook page does tell us that Mike Delany could still be emergency injury cover if needed.
-
BOP team out now. Kane Leaupepe is not there. Injured?? Or is this a decision based on the Tasman forward selections? Otherwise full strength from recent weeks.
Looks to me like it will be an enthralling game. I was worried Tasman might try to maul and muscle BOP up front, but looks fairly evenly matched now
-
here we go - team list
-
1 Tevita Mafileo, 2 Kurt Eklund, 3 Jeff Thwaites, 4 Stan Van Den Hoven, 5 Keepa Mewett, 6 Joe Johnston, 7 Mitchell Karpik, 8 Sam Dickson, 9 Luke Campbell, 10 Otere Black (c), 11 Joe Webber, 12 Chase Tiatia, 13 Matthew Skipwith-Garland, 14 Emoni Narawa, 15 Kaleb Trask

-
Joe Webber?
"Nice to see you, Kurgan. Who cuts your hair?"
-
@Chris-B Joe Webber? Oh, you mean this Joe Webber
-

You forgot the "We'll get the bastard for you" on the end of that.
-
@Snowy Pretty sure the Kurgan's was a DIY job, so we can probably help Joe out!
-
@taniwharugby said in Premiership semi-final: Tasman vs BoP:
@Chris-B can you find any current news? Jeez!!
NEWSFLASH!
BoP - they've had a mayor!!!
"Not on my watch!" said Tenby Powell!
-
shit chat. up your game
-
@mariner4life You feckers could make some sort of effort...!
-
@Chris-B Can you loan us a replacement Mayor from your squad members not needed for the semi, preferably one of those from our region? They would have better experience of a successful team effort!
-
@ARHS We can do even better - we will send you a Commissioner and take control of your finances!
-
TAB odds:
Tasman $1.23 BoP $3.85
AND
Auckland $1.27 Waikato $3.50
Surprisingly there's slightly more optimism about Waikato than BoP!

Mayors are so yesterday. We’ll get the Delorean ready to travel back to you shortly.

looks like Tasman has already loaded up on themselves.. no one else would take that bet, the bay even get a 10.5 point head start.....nice
