North Harbour v BOP
-
- James Lay, Sione Mafile'o, Gage Jackson and Hunter Rice move to the starting lineup
- Mark Tele'a and Kade Banks return from injury to start on the wings
- Sam Davies and Karl Ruzich also return from injury off the bench
As mentioned in the ABs thread, Leroy Carter, Emoni Narawa and Tevita Mafile'o will be playing for BOP in this game.
-
Poor decision by Telea.
Having said that, it seemed a natural progression from the decision to kick away possession won at a defensive lineout. Not smart rugby all round.
-
refereeing. Counter ruck from BOP clearly off his feet. -
Been a bit of a meh game so far.
BoP lineojt especially has been rubbish. Certainly not looking like one of the best teams in the comp
-
In 2025 how are there players who still don't know you can't dive on a player on the ground..?
-
Harbour look terrible. Absolutely no structure on attack - each recipient of the ball looks surprised to have been given it. And instead of going into the sheds eight points down, they've instead given BOP a chance to extend their lead.
-
And for all that, BOP are still only 0 - 11 up.
-
Bop too good should have won by a lot more
Jed Melvin would not look out of place in a super team
Overall a very hard watch -
Thank goodness for the Wahs... even though they're down at half time.
Harbour start the season 0-5 for the first time since 2012.
