    <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>Neville is a better kicker with his left foot than most of our backs are with the right!</p>

          No luck - not straight lineout

            I said it before the season, our forward pack are pretty good, its from 12 out really letting us down.<br><br>
            Forward pass right in front of the ref leads to a try. Come on open your eyes you prick.

              <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>

                    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.

We've been shit in the lineouts, make basic mistakes by the bucket load and leak points like it's going out of fashion. Therefore we deserve to be where we are.
