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...

Hawke's Bay team

15 Harry Godfrey
14 Ollie Sapsford
13 Nick Grigg
12 Chase Tiatia
11 Jonah Lowe
10 Lincoln McClutchie
9 Brad Weber
8 Devan Flanders
7 Josh Kaifa
6 Josh Gimblett
5 Tom Parsons (capt)
4 Geoff Cridge
3 Joel Hintz
2 Tyrone Thompson
1 Pouri Rakete-Stones

16 Kianu Kereru-Symes
17 Tim Farrell
18 Bo Abra
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?

[Nepia]

@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.

[barky1]

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

[Magpie_in_aus]

Hb have themselves to blame there. Stupid grubber at the end. Advantage or not just keep hammering
