Northland v Manawatu

[taniwharugby]

@Crucial TBF he's been decent today, was more his keeping card in pocket in the first half after a warning

@kev said in Northland v Manawatu:

@Machpants he is unfit. And wants to throw magic passes.

And thinks he's fast enough to rush out of defensive line, too

[antipodean]

Big discrepancy in the class of the scrumhalves on the field.

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants needs to realise it and use his power

Like Basteraud?

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants Ranger has/had some talent and skill

[Machpants]

@taniwharugby yeah, still he'd probably be a good loose forward at this level!

Haha true!

Wiseguy MotM for me

[Duluth]

It’s crazy how little game time Wiseguy has had since going north. Hopefully this match is enough for the coaches to move on from Hawkins

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants him, Pryor, Nock, Josh Goodhue all well, but Wiseguy was great the way he slotted in and Pryor was excellent.

[kev]

@taniwharugby yes, some good efforts. Pryor for me. He has always had pace and when the game opens up he stands out.

Something about Faiane's who make players around them look better.

[kev]

Leilua played well I thought.

[taniwharugby]

Some promising stuff out there, Ranger and Gregory a real worry though, these are a couple of players we need firing as they are likely to be central to alot of our play.

[kev]

Work ons are Gregory, Ranger. Gregory just hasn’t improved with his kicking and option taking. He has talent but needs to work on accuracy. Ranger just needs to stick to the basics.

[African Monkey]

Good comeback from Nothland once they settled down and decided to build pressure instead of trying to score off every play. I enjoyed that game, good to have M10 cup back.

Also, please get rid of that haircut Sam Nock. That bleach is horrendous.
