Northland v Manawatu

[Machpants]

@taniwharugby Where’s the info about the bubbles? Last thing I saw was so bloody woolley I had no idea what they were doing?

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants I only know as I saw the CEO on the news on Wed night, not sure how they determine who gets into the bubbles.

ALl season ticket holders have been (or will be) refunded for the season, which to me indicates no dropping levels in the immediate future.

[Machpants]

@taniwharugby Yeah I saw the refund, and thought that’s it no one’s watching

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants TBH I reckon they could do way more than 6 bubbles, but issue woudl be managing them.

Assume boxes could still be used as well?

Shit situation all round, I reckon with the double header of the mens and womens games, with BF's and Goodhue. Robinson, we woulda had some good numbers turn up!

Excuse my ignorance, but what is BF's?

Smith's first Turbos game since 2011

[shark]

This would normally be the least interesting game of the round for me, but I can't wait!!!

[shark]

Massive news.

Jack Goodhue has finally had a haircut.

[Duluth]

Poor kick from Goodhue

[kev]

Average ref. Goodhue wasn’t tackler and pinged for not releasing.

[kev]

Gregory average kick. He needs to be more accurate.

[shark]

My combined XV out of these squads:

Tuimauga
Olsen
Ala'alatoa
Goodhue
Caird
Robinson
Pryor
Mitchell
Smith
Hawkins
Hyland
Goodhue
Ranger
NMS
Gregory

[taniwharugby]

Scratchy start all round...Hawkins call 50-50

[kev]

And they score. Body positions too high. Average.

[kev]

@taniwharugby they need to do little things well.

[shark]

Ben Wyness: another off the CBHS 10 production line...

[taniwharugby]

@kev need to get their hands on the ball and settle down

[taniwharugby]

We looking like a pre-season match
