    i kind of think millar fits whats we're doing, he's got a combo of potential firecrackers like nareki....and some enthusiastic youth...and irratic journymen all around him....a steady hand that will kick for territory, generally good kicking % and solid distribution fills things out nicely

    watching the game on friday the thing that stood out is the confidence in themselves and each other, guys were having cracks...and supporting others having cracks...so when someone may a half break there was almost always someone on their shoulder to secure the ball if not carry things on. add to that the general skill level seems that little bit better, more 50/50 balls going to hand than not

    winning more games than we loose would be amazing

    I mentioned that he was an unknown to me when the Waikato squad was announced. Marsh played last year for Thames Valley.

    Highly likely he left because he finished his degree. Like most other young people. Finished at the end of 2023. Grad gig at the beginning of 2024. Not everything is about footy.

    Looks like I'm no longer locked out lol anyways just so pleased with Otago this season. Mark brown seems a good coach, something as simple as playing Will Stodart in his natural position of loose forward rather than lock just is logical, loving that Nareki is having an injury free run (hope I haven't jinxed him) Pledger and Millar a halves combo that are flourishing, Lio-Willie a big loss this weekend however Trust this team to give a good account of themselves

    Re watched the game and it really stood out that every player 1-23 played well and most importantly, fulfilled the role of their position. The team looked incredibly balanced.

    What I think was underrated was how well the high ball went. Nemek-Val, Millar, and Broomfield won every ball that was kicked to them.

    High hopes play off time
