Magpies v Southland

@Number-10 said in Magpies v Southland:
Maybe they consider Evans is quicker than Mikaele-Tu'u? Or just more experienced - which he certainly is.
I'm sure his both considering Mikaele-Tu'u's size, but I'm still a bit old'school I guess - I think that size is more important for an 8 than speed
-
My calculations make the average age of the starting team just under 25, and the subs average at 22.5. Exciting to have so many young players
-
Fuck, I hope Fomai is ok, looks really bad
-
Good speed from Emerson to chase down Tongia
-
TJ Vaega has been pretty shit so far
-
@Stockcar86 TJ or Cardiff?

Either one, they're not as good as their old man To'o was.
-
Halftime Falcon to 12 and Buckman to 15 I hope
-
What a shitty first half by HB. Lamborn, Evans and Emerson all off injured. and Eaton still unhurt:(
-
This is supposed to be the easiest game of the year
-
Did I just see Dougie on the sidelines with a top knot?
-
Bullshit yellow. At least the ref could have asked for that replay at real speed
-
Ugly win for the home team, but I will take it. Southland out boganed us through with Tim Boys over Richard Buckman
-
Man of the match for me would be Ihaia West. Despite the yellow, was really impressed by Cridge - he could be a good loosey if the Evans/Lamborn injuries keep them out for a few weeks.
It would be been good to give Donaldson a few minutes at the end for some experience
-
This sums it up for me:
terrible line-outs;
bad scrums, especially in the first half;
Falcon is not a fullback and was lucky to have his try awarded (you need luck sometimes, I'll take it
);
bad discipline;
bullshit yellow card;
Mikaele-Tu'u is awesome, but should play at no. 8;
Cridge looks very promising;
TJ Vaega can't catch balls, but can score tries;
Eaton did a good job (he's the best we got as long as Weber and Wilson are out, so I don't understand the comments before the game);
Buckman, what can't he do?; and
West had a good game (good breaks, good kicking game, 100% goal kicking).Tony Lamborn's injury looked bad (broken arm?), so don't expect him back any time soon. I hope Evans' injury is less serious, because we really need him with Lamborn already out. Selesele will be back next week, I guess. Not sure how bad Emerson's injury was; I really would like to know where McNicol is at. We need him dammit.

@Stockcar86 Did Donaldson come on at all? Can't remember seeing him on the field.

No Eaton played the full 80
