@Machpants the chances of going the length were pretty slim..chances are all you would have done was given up another penalty trying to play out of your half..and then you would look really silly

Especially in these conditions. Weather in Auckland this week has been terrible. Lucky to get as good a game as we did

@Steven-Harris Looked good in the 2nd half. Needs a big season.

Does anyone know what is in that spray (Stevenson)?
It will have minerals like magnesium. Looked like Cramp Stop.

@Kirwan absolutely..it was a superb game evening, under the conditions the handling was great from both teams in the main Harbour especially..
I thought Harbour showed some real ticker to come back from 14-28 down and I think may have been a tad unlucky not to win..I don’t think for minute the harbour full team drive should have been a penalty try, I don’t believe there was the same forward momentum that got Auckland a penalty try in the first half, looked more like it collapsed upon itself.
However I do believe Caleb Clarke should have been binned for the clumsy challenge ..
Overall a really good game, congratulations to both teams for a great nights entertainment..
Thought big Karl,Tuoiti Mariner,Jacob Pierce,Bryn Hall & Sean Stevenson were good for Harbour..
For Auckland,Robbie Abel,Hoskings Sotutu,Jack Whetton ,TJ Faiane and despite his faupar Rayasi were good value..
Credit to the young AK halfback on debut..reasonably tidy. -

Last year we really struggled to put away Counties in the first round.
This year we were really flat in the 2nd half. Missed our locks, Olmsted, Ioane, and Papalii. Probably some direction at halfback too, although the halfback's kicking game was pretty good.
We???
You were schooled on the shore son. Would have thought harbour through and through!!

I believe that Counties game was the only game Lane started last year. He still looks a few kgs too light.

@Daffy-Jaffy Definitely a better 10 than 12; clear playmaker.

I mentioned after watching the trial last week and talking to a couple of the boys, that some of the AKL forwards seemed a little on the light/smaller side, having never seen the side live before. Front rowers not so much but some of the locks and loosies did.
Excellent game from both sides tonight given the poor conditions in Auckland tonight.
I started driving to the game from Bucklands Beach where I am staying and got stuck in traffic, rain coming down, was going to be late, so turned around and watched on the telly. Don’t call me Lane....

@JK I always feel guilty admitting it, but my old man was a huge Auckland fan, and I went to almost every home game.
So was mine. Remember going to all those games with that old DB chant they had echoing around the ground...”we’re DB, we’re Auckland and we know how to win” but also went to every Northcote club game and even recall see Terry wright play for them before he crossed the bridge. Still always be harbour tho!
