v Counties-Manukau
-
Poor again...these lapses killing us this season
-
Gutting for Hohaia, looked good today and his other minutes...
-
@taniwharugby field position all important. We should have kicked from 1st phase given the time we had.
@kev re emphasizes the decision making in the closing quarter without our captain
-
How did we lose that after a fortuitous bounce
-
Faaaaaarrrrrrkkkk!
-
Ref guessing at that advantage
-
PAnother game so close but no bp

@taniwharugby kick for line
@kev lack of leadership and smarts
-
Typical. We're going to come up empty handed again.
Our own worst enemies once again. Just fall to pieces at the wrong times.
@j77 decision making and execution under pressure
-
Last roll of the dice to have a game we could have won come out with something....
-
Well that sucked...
This is fast becoming a season of more what ifs than normal
-
The most frustrating thing about this season, is we have been so close to being undefeated this season, if not for a bit of luck and some very poor closing periods, we have lost too many and not picked up any bonus points, which oddly enough is something we do normally get in these types of games in years gone by.
-
Lots of work ons, especially the lineout, that was freakin awful.. Got to get 5 points from the Magpies now, and that's no given as they looked vastly improved against Harbour.
These next two we need to go in with our strongest lineup possible. Got to have Jack back in the midfield and Alaimalo back to fullback.
Want to see Douglas back too,.. him, Ram and Matich in the loose trio for me. DP off the pine..
Counties wanted that more, but hell they weren't much chop. We were just worse. A case of shoulda, coulda, woulda?!

Add didn't...and Yep, that sums up our last 4 games really...
This team, is so close to being outstanding, but are missing a final ingredient and making themselves look very average at times.

Just watched it.
Suffered from our now customary dropsies, a lack of energy and yet again some very questionable refereeing decisions.
But I think the biggest thing that stopped us winning was the god damn lineout. Just awful and not good enough for this level. Can't expect to win games when you just gift the ball back to the opposition on such a regular basis.This definitely isn't our year. Hopefully the majority of the team stick around for next season, as (hopefully) they'll have learnt a lot from how the last 4 or 5 games have played out.
