I don't know, good time to rest your top players in a guaranteed win.
Oi, stop coming on here trying to jinx us..
Even my best jinxing would have no effect, we're an un-coached rabble this year.
Hell, I daresay you wont even need Steve Walsh to manufacture a draw for you guys this year.

@nepia haha, it still hurts you 11 years later bro? We were a sidleline conversion away from winning that match from what I recall..
11 years, feels like yesterday and my anger will never subside :), if Steve Walsh could have gotten under the post for that conversion he would have raised both touchies flags.

@Nepia Steve Walsh shoulda binned one of your cheating cnuts at about 72 mins anyway!

Clearly he'd lost his yellow card on the field somewhere because you;d think he'd jump at a the chance of a legitimate ruling to go with all the dodgy ones.

I think he was too busy trying to raise his own flag off the paddock..

Shoulda been a YC for tackling nock there, he woulda scored if not.
-
Making this look really hard
-
No need to be overly concerned TR HB are only just holding in there with some last ditch tackles stopping your guys from inflating the score board. And as I write that Rene Ranger does break through and score, This could be the start of the flood gates opening.

Couldn't quite finish off. Wanted them to go for 4th try in 65th minute instead of penalty. What followed was classic Northland. Hawkins kick - wtf?, white line fever, but we got it done...unfortunately we need 1 more point from the last game to guarantee finals. Otherwise we rely mostly I think on Waikato beating BOP.
-
@kev wtf was that kick, we missed what happened.
We need to start holding some of those passes and just better ball security.
If Jone is fit id like to see him, Solomon & Rene as our back 3.
We need points from Wellington, we would need to play outstandingly (which could happen) to beat them, but getting BPs will be vital, although we have struggled with BPs this season.
-
@taniwharugby I turned from the TV but presume he just kicked crossfield poorly...
-
Good win.
Backs looked to be back to their best after a couple of weeks being off their game.
Lineout much better.
The commentators made themselves look pretty bloody silly with that non-try by Vaenga. It was a clear and obvious knock on yet they tried to have us believe that is was a clear and obvious try.
Thought we made really hard work of it getting the bonus point. Looked like we were trying to score off every play, taking low % options when all they needed to do was show some patience and the HB defence would have cracked.
All in all, good to put away a team that we were expected to put away.
She's going to be an interesting last week.
-
in other years, 18-20 points makes the top 4, not this year, which must mean more CHampionship sides beat Premiership sides??
@Gunner Just lacking polish, otherwise we coulda put 50 on them I reckon, blew numerous chances, only Ihaia West seemed to seriously threaten our line consistently.
From where we were sitting, it looked a try, but then we were in the back row of the cheap seats
