    @Kiwiwomble said in Highlanders v Drua:

    good to have PPP back, also a good sign for the AB's Degroot is getting lots of game time, that just has to be getting his fitness up

    It’s a pretty good engine room for the Landers. But can they use the ball?

    @ACT-Crusader i have been a hunt apologist in the past but a hell of a lot of our issues stem from that 10 bottleneck

    our first choice forwards, imo, are good, by and large comfortably super quality, i honestly dont feel we've had much trouble with a stable platform to launch from....its only after we launch it starts to fall apart

      @Kiwiwomble I thought Hunt has looked good this year. That 9/10 combo they rolled out against the Saders was a handbrake for sure.

        @ACT-Crusader he just doesn't control anything, honestly feels like he waits until the ball is in his hands...then looks...and thinks...and decides what to do, and by then the D is coming and so either shovels it on or runs himself.

        thats why i'd have him at 15, when he does look dangerous its often in broken play or when he has enough time to get a head of steam up

            I hope I got all the changes to the Highlanders squad:

            Will Tucker starting instead of Dickson.
            Nikora Broughton starting instead of Renton.
            Jake Te Hiwi starting at 12 instead of TU-J.
            Fetuli Paea starting at 13 instead of Timu.
            Josh Bekhuis coming onto the bench at 19.
            Connor Garden-Bachop coming onto the bench at 23.

                        Oh, sh*t, another player injured, less than 12 minutes after kick-off. Te Hiwi off; CG-B on.

                          Great team try to Ainsley after one of the smallest men on the field - Smith - charges down a kick.

                            I hate agreeing with Marshall.... but Arron Smith channeled to much Barrett there

                                Maul was a bit of a shambles but got the try...

                                Landers seem to be missing having runners outside the initial runner target.. looks to be space outside if they look for it
