Northland vs BOP
-
Can we play the game already so that you lot can stop wallowing in mid-season misery?
I'm still not convinced by your page of laments that @taniwharugby isn't out there somewhere scurrying around trying to hide a container load of banana skins...
@Donsteppa are we only mid-season? faaaark!
I am undecided if I tip 17+ again this week....or be optimistic and go 8-16
PLus, you can blame @Duluth for the software update that this appears here and not tucked away in the depths of the Northland forum!!
-
My main worry for this game is that it is the first we've played this season where we are not only expected to win but expected to win easily. 13+ to us is the favoured result at the TAB. I worry that we will stop doing the hard work that has got us into this position (especially in defence) and may also be tempted to rotate too much.

Tu'ungafasi, Atkins, Straker
Sweetman, Caird
McNamara, Matich, Matiu
Nock, Debreczeni
Hohaia, Johnson
Rae, Roberts-Te Nana, GregoryBench: Hyde, Te Whata-Colley, Wright, Funaki, Stokes, Levien, Smith, Leilua

Sigh, back to the Hohaia-Johnson mid-field.

Perhaps just award us the five points right now - so that we don’t interrupt the demise of the Northland Union with match day posts?
EDIT: too late, I see a team naming post has broken out!
@Donsteppa I started this in the Northland forum, I can talk about what I want, BITCH...go start your own thread if you dont like it!
But yeah, 5 points, take it now!
See I did talk about the match 2 posts up :up_arrow:

Yep, a Mafia too lazy to maintain a website these days...
The Manawatu win over Canterbury still has me looking for those banana skins. We’ve lost to you lot too many times to take anything for granted... (but if you’d like to hand over the points now, we’d be very happy

@taniwharugby after seeing the Turbos tear the form book after last night..hoping the boys take some inspiration from that result..one thing that always impresses me about Taniwha supporters on this forum ,like their supporters who turn up to games , they never shy away wether they win or lose and are always open to a debate .
