semi final v Waikato

@chiefy07 cant recall, I thought he was 6? I thnk he is capable of playing 7 too, I just think right now, Stokes is playing closer to that role.
With Pryor supposedly off might be a chance for him to stake a claim on that for next season.
We simply must start well, too many matches we have been scored against in the opening 4 or 5 mins, and v Waikato and BOP have been down by >20 after about 20 odd mins, and from there you are always gonna struggle playing catch up.

Article suggests that losing the Shield is bad for us...that remains to be seen, I thought before the game them losing the shield in a close one would be better for us...although that may also be an incorrect POV as well.
While its be great if we win, I am resigned to us losing, but at least we can do it in style, like last week Haha...I refer you to my tagline below.

@taniwharugby the article also fails to mention how many injuries we have had in recent weeks. But we have a strong side and a good bench. Probably a couple off our best but not bad. I’m going down so hope we start well which seems to be our big issue. Would like to see us kick off

@taniwharugby
so close you can smell it -
Spoke to the Waikato media manager yesterday,they are only expecting between 3-4,000 people to the game because it’s the long weekend,given they had a similar crowd there last weekend for a shield defence, it’s bloody embarrassing..!.good opportunity for the Taniwha supporters to make their presence felt.

I am staggered that you guys managed to get raped by the DSW a coupe of weeks back. Things looking reasonably promising for a Championship final in Napier next weekend so please don't you blow it from here Northland, although now at 14 - 21 things are looking a bit more dicey than I would like.

You’re dreaming, this is Northland, we can blow a 14 point lead quicker than anyone in the business.

Fuck this will be a game changing 10 minutes. If Waikato don’t level the scores or take the lead I’ll be very surprised
What did I tell you. Our defence the second half of this season has been nothing short of a disgrace.
28-21
Hope you had a good 10 minute break Nock, you’ve got a game to go and fucking win back now. In fact leave him off, get Kitto on.

That yellow has cost Northland 3 Waikato tries.
I wish I could say I didn’t see it coming.
