V Canterbury
-
<p>we were always up against it with the quality right thorugh this Canterbury team, but jeez we are not helping ourselves either! </p>
-
<p>Lama is getting exploited on the right wing and the midfield defence is also getting badly exposed too. Uluviti seems to be a decent prospect - big unit but handling seems an issue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We need Hawkins to be not scared of taking the ball to the line. Breen plays alot flatter than him - we haven't had much ball but when we have had it we haven't looked very threatening.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This Canterbury team I think is vulnerable defensively if we can consistently pressure them. On attack they are quite hard to contain because they have such fast movement and such crisp passing - their attack is a definite class above anything I've seen in the comp so far</p> -
<p>Great work Josh Goodhue, he's been great so far. Get up Northland! (as unlikely as it is).</p>
-
<p>was a hint of a forward pass in thier try right on the break too, but when they are moving forward so rapidly guess it makes them tougher to pick up and call</p>
-
<p>so the Goodhues have a bonus point for 4 tries
</p> -
<p>that looked to be perfectly timed</p>
-
<p>it was</p>

<p>How are we still in this?<br><br>
Canterbury almost scoring at will, but our lads just wont go away. That's one positive so far.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>yep, the fact we are scoring tries and keep on keeping on is much better than last year...just the basics letting us down.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are much better than our 0/4 will show after this game, but we are still 0/4</p> -
<p>I know we are under the pump but they got such a huge early push on there.</p>

<p>I didnt notice Matich go off, not injured I hope?</p>

<p>I covered that off....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>what I meant, an ounce of luck v Manawatu, we win, not shit lineouts v Auckland, we coulda nabbed some points, some luck v Otago...wasnt saying we deserved to win anything</p>
