It's that time of the season where I start to wonder which version of Chase Tiatia will show up...

He has broken his rocks and diamonds trend while at the Magpies, he's just rocks.

I'm not being lulled into a false sense of security, he still has the 'one game a season' risk!

Hopefully this is it - he needs to pay us back for the game he had for you lot against us two years ago.

But even if he fires Grigg will just run too far with the ball and turn it over anyway.

@Donsteppa We're asking ourselves that question every time he's on the team sheet.

Definitely flashback territory. These days I get to wonder once a season instead of every game

Chase "The Bath" Tiatia - he can run hot and cold in the same game all you could do is hope he gets the ratios right so you end up with something pleasantly warm...

8 Devan Flanders
7 Josh Kaifa

19 Frank Lochore
20 Sam Smith
21 Folau Fakatava
22 Stacey Ili
23 Paula Balekana

Return of Brad Weber and Jonah Lowe. No Marino Mikaele-Tu'u.

Highlanders bias showing perhaps, but feels rough for Fakatava, who has been very good from what I have seen, to be dropped straight back to the bench on Weber's arrival?

@frugby The fact is we have two good halfbacks so they’ll be rotated. Blame it on Foster, one of them should be in the ABs right now.

Duluth

Bump.. there’s a lot of match threads this weekend

This kicks off in 10mins

Stargazer

Cashmore ruled out. Hawera starting at 10. Tanimo starting at fullback. Tamiro Armstrong coming onto the bench in 23.

Donsteppa

Hmmm. AB's don't front this morning, and now backline injuries on top of injuries. One of those days at this rate...

Duluth

BOP have recovered well after a poor start

Steven Harris

Talk about a long time to come up with YC that should have just needed one view

Stargazer

@Steven-Harris I may be one-eyed, but that drop from Ili wasn't sudden either. I hope they check it again, because that might meet the red-card treshold.

What a joke

Bovidae

I despair how we judge these tackles now. That's very different from deliberate foul play.

Steven Harris

Red under the framework but boy I totally agree with Ken , this space needs some work and in a hurry

taniwharugby

@Steven-Harris the powers of the game (we are not one currently) dont see any issues it seems....

Steven Harris

Chase Tiatia should be a traffic monitor

Steven Harris

Take the 3 ,and then go back

Duluth

Ref gave Hawkes every chance

KiwiPie

Go the BAY! See you next season Hawke's
