-
@Stockcar86 No sweat Stockcar.
Both Stacy Ili and Sam McNicol played for NOB Marist - McNicol scored a try after a 60 metre run.
-
McNicol played at centre too, so got through lots of contact

Was good to finally get back in the mixer yesterday in the new colours! It’d been a long 20 months away from the game, with 14 months out due to concussion and another 6 with wrist surgery. Want to thank my mate and trainer @tobyjbanfield for keeping me motivated and pushing me everyday - what a top lad
Cheers for the support team.

@Stargazer We will just have to wait and see then. I hope to be on the sidelines at Whitmore Park tomorrow (taking my boots just in case!!!!!). First time up home this season and would you know it there is a private function on in the Texans lounge starting at 6.00pm thus a shortened time for supporters to discuss the finer points of the game before being turfed out. Might have to take in a few tips on how the real old timers coped in the days of the six o'clock swill times!

Went down to Waipukurau to watch the Central v Clive match.
Brodie Retallick played 51 minutes for Central, didn't get actively involved but made one charge which led to a try. His locking partner was Ben Parsons, no sign of elder brother Tom.
Unsurprisingly, Central had their biggest crowd of the year.
Josdh Kaifa played second five for Clive and replaced at halftime - don't know if it was injury or tactical. One who did stand out for Clive was flanker Liam Udy-Johns, his first year out of school (last year's Hastings BHS captain.
-
@Number-10 Kaifa in the backs??? I know he's been moving between 6 and 7, but this is something else!
Udy-Johns was outstanding for Hastings last year; good to hear he's playing well in club rugby, too. I'm not sure whether we will have a good U19 squad this year and whether we have good candidates for next year's NZU20s, but he should be one of them. That is, if there's a new coach, because with Philpott, I don't expect anything anymore.
-
Yeah, odd to see Kaifa in the backline. Apparently his 40 minutes stint was because he played all 80 minutes for the Magpies midweek v Manawatu, and there was nothing on the result for Clive - the semi-finalists had already been confirmed last week.
NOB Marist beat Tamatea 133-7, even with the game being called off seven minutes early.

have just come across this forum of great comments and interesting perspectives this morning.

@Stockcar86
From my perspective I don’t think 18yr olds have enough club experience to play at NPC level ...constant injuries , mental health , entitlements ... let them evolve in their own time , thoughts ? -
@Stargazer HBT - you are right ! one job and one job only , write an article with correct spelling .
