Manawatu v North Harbour

[UpTheHarbs]

Maka almost scored on the corner

[UpTheHarbs]

Another missed opportunity here

[Duluth]

Harbour with loads of ball. Will be disappointed they haven’t scored yet

[Duluth]

Nice break by Brown

[UpTheHarbs]

MELVIN MELVIN MELVIN!

[UpTheHarbs]

Pellegrini misses the conversion

[UpTheHarbs]

Terrible kick from the Turbos

[Duluth]

17-5 Manawatu at HT

They’re playing well.. some really dumb play from Harbour helping them too

Hogan and the ARs don't seem bothered with players being in front of the kickers.

Malakai Hala-Ngatai looks to be in great shape. He's shed quite a few kg's, I'd think, but he's holding his own so far against Sione Mafileo in the scrum so it doesn't seem to have impacted his ability at set-piece too much. He seems like a player who's actually benefitted from regular game time in the MLR.

Also, it's weirding me out how Parsons is continuously referring to Jed Melvin as the veteran. The guy is 24 years old and has played 29 games for Harbour. Even for NPC standards, that's not that experienced.

And the wrong decision. Are the cameras not good enough for NPC games?

[UpTheHarbs]

And now it got interrupted by a technical glitch. Switched over to the Wahs game anyway

[UpTheHarbs]

Back now

I don't think there's a need to question the cameras, that's just terrible refereeing.

Taramai's back!
First game in 1,449 days

And just like that, we've lost to the Turbos for the first time in 10 years! What an upset!
Last loss was 31-17 on 26 September 2015

[MacDazzler]

Turbos have already won as many games in 2025 as they did in 2024.

[Bovidae]

Good impact from Sam Coles off the bench.
